files.directories

Deprecated: The files.directories API returns a list of all subdirectories for a specified file path. Optionally, a filter can be set to limit results based on a shell wildcard.

Example Code (PHP)

    $request = array(
        'command' => 'files.directories',
        'api_key' => 'APX4GKLM0RKQLSP2FBO1ROPKSSW47DZE',
        'timestamp' => time(),
        'cdn' => 158,
        'path' => 'sestore4/jb',
        'filter' => 'sestore4/jb/2015*'             /*optional*/
    );
        //Create request signature
    $json_request = json_encode($request);
    $sig = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha256', $json_request,
        '8fc8c48da81e6a2a06a9556379bf798af508dc0792497c678b4c3532ba8b637f', true));
    $request['signature'] = $sig;
    $json_request = json_encode($request);
    
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.scaleengine.net/stable/'); // Set the URL
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); // Perform a POST
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // If not set, curl prints output to the browser
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); // If set, curl returns headers as part of the data stream
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('json' => $json_request)); //'Json' string or 'PHP' serialized return
    
    //If your PHP host does not have a proper SSL certificate bundle, you will need to turn off SSL Certificate Verification
    //This is dangerous, and should only be done temporarily until a proper certificate bundle can be installed
    //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
    //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // Turns off verification of the SSL certificate.
    
    $response = curl_exec($ch); //Execute the API Call
    if (!$response) {
        die('Failed to connect to ScaleEngine API');
    }
    
    //Decode the response as an associative array 
    $arrResponse = json_decode($response, true); 
    if ($arrResponse) {
        //Operation completed successfully
        //TODO Add work here
        print_r($arrResponse);
    } else {
        //Operation failed
        echo 'An error occured processing your request:';
        print_r($response);
    }
    	

Request Fields

command [REQUIRED] [string] - API command to execute
cdn [REQUIRED] [int] - The ScaleEngine CDN ID of your account
api_key [REQUIRED] [string] - The API key provided as part of your account
timestamp [REQUIRED] [int] - The unix timestamp of your request, used to prevent authenticated API requests from being replayed
path [REQUIRED] [string] - The file path to be searched. File paths begin with an sestore{#}. To find which sestore to use call files.getstorage.
filter [OPTIONAL] [string] - A shell wildcard pattern used to limit results. The filter is applied to the full filepath of the file or folders being searched. If sestore/jb/ is being requested, filters should either include the path requested ( sestore/jb/2016* ) or start with * ( *2016* ).

Example Result (JSON)

    {
    "data" : [{
        "sestore4/jb/" : [{"folder1", "folder2", "folder3"}]
    }],
    "message": "Found Files Directory Data",
    "status": "success",
    "handle_time":"0.3795 seconds"
    }
	

Result Fields

data [Array] - List filepaths and their subfolders
[Array] - List of subfolders for the filepath. The index of the array will reflect the filepath of the parent folder (ex. index could be sestore1/jb/ and the array would contain the subfolders)
[String] - Folder name
message [string] - Debugging message
status [string] - "success" or "failure"
handle_time [float] - The amount of time spent processing your request
