file_metadata: Retrieve the metadata for a specific file.

In noamross/driver: Google Drive API client library

Description

file_metadata retrieves the metadata for a specific file the user has access to. To retrieve the metadata for all files, see list_files.

Usage

file_metadata(file_id, simplify = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

file_id	a file ID, as a string. This can be retrieved from the URL bar when you're accessing the file: for example, "https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gOxog56F2bCnxwum7VhmN3JqTX7usTYcK5X3V4QDnxg" has the file_id "1gOxog56F2bCnxwum7VhmN3JqTX7usTYcK5X3V4QDnxg". Alternately, you can pass in the full URL, and driver will do its best to extract the ID.
simplify	whether or not to perform some (small) simplification of the returned list, to make it less nested, headachey and impossible to read. Set to FALSE by default.
...	further arguments to pass to httr's GET.

See Also

list_files, for requesting the metadata associated with many files.
