C# Code Sample: Retrieve Value of a File Property

The following code authenticates and retrieves the value of a text based file property named 'foo' .

Sample Code


Plug p = Plug.New("http://devwiki/@api/deki"); 
p.At("users", "authenticate")
 .WithCredentials("sysop", "password").Get(); 
string val = p.At("files", "42", "properties", "foo")
 .Get().AsText();

Curl Code Sample: Retrieve Value of a File Property

The following command retrieves property "foo" assigned to file with file ID = 1:

Sample Code

curl -u username:password -i http://mindtouch.address/@api/deki/files/1/properties/foo

Implementation notes 

curl flags

-u
Provides external user authentication. Note that if anonymous access is available and authentication is not forced, this flag may be omitted.
-i
Outputs the HTTP response headers. Useful for debugging.

Response

Note that a file, not an XML document, is returned. So if an image or any non-text file is assigned as the property's value, a bunch of junk will very possibly be returned to the console.
