GetResourceInfo Method

Gets information about specific files and folders.

Syntax

googledrive.getResourceInfo(resourceIds, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method retrieves information about the file and folder resources specified by ResourceIds (which should be specified as a comma-separated list of resource Ids).

Calling this method will fire the ResourceList event once for each resource, and will populate the Resource* properties (clearing any previously-held items in the process).

Note that, unlike the ListResources and ListChildren methods, this method uses the resource Ids to retrieve information directly. This means that it does not support paged results or complex search queries (the "q" query parameter), does not need to know whether the resources are in shared drives, etc.
