Get a File's Metadata by the File Path

Gets all the metadata that is associated with the target file version by using the file path.

Metadata is a collection of name-to-object mappings. Data can be bound to the name for later retrieval. The name (or "key") must be unique and is case-sensitive. The developer is responsible for setting the object value that is associated with this key. The recommended data format is JSON.

The storage that is consumed by a file's metadata must be less than 10MB. If you try to store more than a total of 10MB, a storage error may occur. If you need to associate large data elements with a specific file version, consider using the Add a File Attachment API instead.

Note: The bartendercloud.com domain that is referenced in the URI must be replaced with the contents of the DataCenterURI claim that is extracted from your access token. For more information, refer to Extracting the DataCenterURI Claim.

Path Parameters

filePath

Type: String

Specifies the path of the file. Required.

 

Comment: The {filePath} parameter must be single-URL encoded, and the path must start with the "librarian://{spaceName}/" prefix. Replace {spaceName} with the name of the target space (such as Main or $temp).

For example, the actual path for the file named "My File.txt" in the "My Folder" folder in the Main space is as follows: 

librarian://Main/My Folder/My File.txt

The URL-encoded {filePath} parameter is as follows:

librarian%3A%2F%2FMain%2FMy%20Folder%2FMy%20File.txt

The full URI would resemble the following: 

https://bartendercloud.com/api/librarian/files/path/librarian%3A%2F%2FMain%2FMy%20Folder%2FMy%20File.txt/metadata

Type: Integer <int32>

Specifies the requested minor version. Required when minor versioning is enabled in the space; otherwise optional.
