where's the folder id's listed

billy2

Now that we have an updated API, I'm trying update my script to include folders.

How do I get a list of folders? I need fid, where is it defined?



BTW, nice job on the new API look and feel.

At this time the folders API is not public or documented, we're interested in hearing the types of use cases people have for folders to make sure that we have the best API support available. If you can share some details of what you're trying to do by sending an email to api-support@onshape.com we can take a look and make sure that when the public API is available it will meet your needs.

That's funny, I saw that it was in the API explorer and was going to play around with it to see what it can do but got stuck at fid and couldn't figure out how to find it.

API folders:




Expected procedures:
I thought I'd see a method for obtaining a list of folders. 
A method for showing documents & folders contained inside a folder.



I have this document loader API I wrote and have been wondering when folders would become available. Not sure what to do with them either. I suspect they'll be some kind of filter.

Let me thank about it some more.....

This is one of the API requests that Onshape does when itloads:

https://cad.onshape.com/api/globaltreenodes/magic/1

It returns a list of folders and documents at the top level.
if getPathToRoot=true, it gives you a bread-crumb trail to My Onshape,

Then to get documents and folders in a folder, use 
https://cad.onshape.com/api/globaltreenodes/folder/[fid]

It gives you the folders and documents on a folder

This is from the network tab in the dev panel in chrome (open it up, then refresh the page)

You can use either F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I to open it

I'm chasing down an async/await error currently. Will look at it once my site starts talking to me.

Thanks
