REST API v4: GET profile file information

Profiles can contain folders and subfolders containing files, pertaining to that specific profile. Information about these files can be retrieved by sending an HTTP GET request to the following URL:

https://api.copernica.com/v4/profile/$id/file/$id/json

The first $id should be replaced with the numerical identifier of the profile you're requesting the file information about. The second $id should be the ID of the file.

Returned fields

This method returns a JSON object with the files under the data property. Each file contains the following fields:

  • ID: The file ID.
  • name: The filename.
  • directory: The directory the file is located in.
  • author: The author of the file.
  • created: Timestamp of creation of the file (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format).
  • modified: Timestamp of the last modification to the file (YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss format).
  • size: The file size in bytes.

JSON example

The JSON for a single subprofile might look something like this:

{  
   "ID":"20285",
   "name":"cat.png",
   "directory":"Images/Animals",
   "author":"Copernica BV",
   "created":"2008-08-25 16:14:56",
   "modified":"2010-08-25 16:15:56",
   "size":131364
}
