I know you can add the sortby parameter to OneDrive rest calls to sort by name
size
lastModifiedDateTime
in OneDrive personal
However, I'd like to be able to perform the sort with the folders sorted separately so that they remainin on top. Is there a way to make this work correctly.
use the root folder as example, does https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/drive/root/children?select=id,name,folder work for you?

I am trying to display folder and file list from a Sharepoint in my CakePHP web application.
Please review my previous question here.
What I am going to do is to get children from a folder with id and also inner folder with name, in the same time, using Graph API.
I want to get list from an api like
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/items/{item-id}/children
I am not sure if it is available and how to implement it.
At this moment, I can get children from a folder with its name.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/children
And I can filter the response using query parameters like below.
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/drives/{drive-id}/root:/{folder-name}:/children/?$filter=id eq '{folder-id}'
Can I get sub folder's children at this moment?
Any help?
There is no such method. As #Shiva said, their properties are the same. You cannot use the folder name and folder ID at the same time. You can try the api provided by Shiva. I think it is a good method:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/drive/root:/{folder-name}?$expand=children
Current Dropbox API searchFileNames() allows the searching of a query / substring, so if I wanted to look for filenames in a folder that were of a specific extension such as ".jpg", that works, but if I combine to look for ".jpg .png" I get nothing returned... as the documentation states 'A file matches only if it contains all the substrings.'
Is there another API that will allow a union of the searched vs the exclusion?
Thanks
No, the Dropbox API doesn't enable you to search for multiple file extensions at once like this, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.
As a workaround, you can split this into multiple API calls.
I have an app which integrates with dropbox, I want the user to select a folder from their dropbox.
I can call '/2/files/list_folder' (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder) with recursive set to true, and then recursively call it based on the returned cursor. I then filter out any which aren't directories.
But this is a long slow process, and unpredictable given the potential size of some users directory tree on Dropbox.
I know there is a dropbox file select plug in (https://www.dropbox.com/developers/chooser), but I want to make a folder select, with no option to select a file.
What I would like is one api call that returns a list of all directories for a user.
Does this exist with an API method I don't know about? Or is there another widget that allows folder selection?
I've seen this question which just does a recursive api call too, not practically efficient.
The Dropbox API v2 doesn't offer a way to list only folders like that, but we'll consider it a feature request.
Dropbox also doesn't offer a component like the Chooser that allows folder selection, but we'll consider that a feature request as well.
I'm designing RESTful API for file storage and having problems with finding the best way to organize URL's to actions.
Files can be grouped to folders but it is needed to be able to get all the files.
Guidelines suggests to use the following url to get files for specific folder.
GET /folders/{folderName}/files
But what should be used to just get all files? GET /files or GET /folders/files?
Also Google Drive has somewhat similar functionality and they use diifferent approach
GET files/{folderName}/children
As you've noticed this can range from one API designer to another.
If I was facing this problem I would want to consider all use cases and figure out what works best.
It looks like the following would meet your needs:
GET / Retrieves all files and folders
GET /{folderId} Retrieves all contents of said folderId (folders and files)
GET /{fileId} Retrieves the file
GET /{folderId}/{folderId} Same as above, but for nested folder
GET /{folderId}/{folderId}/{fileId} Retrieves the file
this pattern can continue for however nested the file structure is (note there is a limit on URL length)
Then if you have a unique requirement such as all you just create a new api endpoint.
GET /files/ Retrieves all files
GET /files/?filter="*.txt" Retrieves all text files
So to answer your EXACT question of:
But what should be used to just get all files? GET /files or GET
/folders/files
I would lean towards /files instead of /folders/files. /folders/files does not make much sense as an api consumer.
I need the store id for an external js script that will be put in the theme's header and try to find the store based on this id (on our side).
If just trying to grab it manually, you can find it by logging in to the store. The URL will be https://store-XXXXXX.mybigcommerce.com/admin. XXXXXX is the store ID.
If trying to get it via the API, you will want to use the Store resource (https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/stores/v2/store_information).
I am not aware of any supported way how to get Store ID.
Unsupported way (which theoretically can break anytime, but I believe it should work for quite long time) is to get it in Javascript from Fornax.configuration.defaultEventProperties.storeId variable.
