How to retrieve the Item-ID from a File-ID

Below is a user case scenario from a customer that needs to retrieve the Item-ID.

Customer;

"Our movies are moved and automatically imported. I can find out the File-ID with "http://localhost:8080/API/storage/VX-2/file/byURI;path=2016%2F10%2F2016-10-02_23-20_1106_test.mov",but i need the ITEM-ID to fetch out the thumbnails/posters. How can I do that if I have only the FILE-ID?"

Resolution;

To get different file details, you can use the "includeitem" parameter, see below;

GET {storage-resource}/file;includeItem=true

Your outcome will be a list of all files with their specific file details.

The item id will be in the response, if the item belongs to an item. Example:

<file>
  <id>VX-1027</id>
  <path>VX-1027.mov</path>
  <state>CLOSED</state>
  <size>47712885</size>
  <hash>5ba56a996de14b68a7c8f37c08ddeb74dbea8fdc</hash>
  <timestamp>2013-06-24T15:39:26.117+02:00</timestamp>
  <refreshFlag>8418</refreshFlag>
  <storage>VX-1</storage>
  <item>
     <id>VX-804</id>
     <shape>
          <id>VX-916</id>
          <component>
               <id>VX-1488</id>
          </component>
          <component>
               <id>VX-1487</id>
          </component>
          <component>
               <id>VX-1486</id>
          </component>
     </shape>
  </item>
  <metadata/>
</file>
