将文件上传到BIM360Docs中的plans文件夹

Question

I'm new to using the data management API to gain access to BIM360Docs, I've successfully downloaded a file from any folder and I can upload to the project files folder, however the issue lies with uploading to the plans folder, all the API calls seem happy and appears to work, but when I check the actual BIM360Docs website it's not there, when I use the API call to display a folders contents it is there, so it appears to be uploading correctly yet isn't visible for some reason?

Here it is being uploaded successfully:

Here it is being visible using the get folder contents API call but not in docs:

So it is there and I can download it and everything is hunky dory I just can't see it on the website.

PS I'm using the step by step guide on the forge site (I'm unable to link as I don't have enough rep).

Answer 1

Can you tell me to what folder location are you uploading? I'm thinking maybe you are not posting the file to the right location, and that is why you can download it only. In that sense you are correctly creating the storage location, the problem is you are probably uploading your file to the wrong folder. Something I can suggest is the following, get a list of all the available folder within the root folder.

// Get Folder

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer YOURTOKEN" "https://developer.api.autodesk.com/data/v1/projects/BIM360ACCOUNTID/folders/urn%3Aadsk.wipprod%3Afs.folder%3AYOURROOTFOLDER/contents" 

This will give you back a response JSON of all the folder within your Doc Project. Find the ID of the Plans Folder and continue with the following steps using that folder identifier.

//Step 3: Create a storage location

//Step 4: Upload a file to the storage location

//Step 5: Create the first version of the uploaded file

If everything goes correctly you should be able to see your plans in that location now. Please let me know how everything goes with this. Also check that you have the right Scopes setup in your token that the following ones are included scope= account:read account:write

Also that you have the right permissions within your Docs project to upload.
