ShareAPI is the helper class for accessing the Adobe Share API. It
provides much of the client-side functionality for applications;
for example, logging in and out, uploading files, sharing files,
and so on. While many of these functions call functions in the
ShareAPINode and ShareAPIUser classes, most of the work is done here.
These functions build the requests with the appropriate XML payload
and parse the responses.
public function ShareAPI(apikey:String, secret:String)
Share API constructor. Note that the developer must have registered
with Share and will need to have an API key and secret to continue.
Parameters
| apikey:String — The API key registered for this application
|
| |
| secret:String — The shared secret assigned to this API key
|
public function addFolder(user:ShareAPIUser, folderName:String, folderDescription:String, parentId:String):ShareAPIToken
Adds a new folder to Share by building a request with an XML payload
containing the requisite details.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — The user performing that is executing this action
|
| |
| folderName:String — The name of the new folder
|
| |
| folderDescription:String — The new folder's description.
|
| |
| parentId:String — The target parent node under which to add this folder. If set to null, the folder is added to the root node.
|
Returns
public function deleteNode(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String):ShareAPIToken
Deletes a file or folder node node by constructing an HTTP request
using the DELETE method and the requisite node ID.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String — Node to delete
|
Returns
public function downloadFile(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String):ShareAPIToken
downloadFile constructs an url request containing the node URL, session information, and
user details. Note that sig is the MD5 digest of the string formed by
concatenating data with the shared secret returned by an authorization token request.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — The user who is downloading the file
|
| |
| nodeId:String — The nodeId of the file to download
|
Returns
public function getNodeDetails(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String):ShareAPIToken
Gets the details of the requested node from the Share response.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String — Node to get the details about
|
Returns
public function getNodes(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String = null):ShareAPIToken
Gets a list of nodes (files and folders) in a user's account.
Share returns a substantial amount of detail about each node,
and getNodes calls functions in ShareAPINode to parse the data.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String (default = null) — List nodes that are children of this node. If this is null, use user's root node as parent.
|
Returns
public function getThumbnail(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String):ShareAPIToken
Returns the thumbnail of a document as a stream. Note that folders do not have
thumbnails, and not all files will have thumbnails.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String — Node to get thumbnail of
|
Returns
public function login(user:ShareAPIUser):ShareAPIToken
login constructs a log in request so the user can login to Share.
If successful, user object will have its session ID and secret
attributes set.
Parameters
Returns
public function logout(user:ShareAPIUser):ShareAPIToken
logout logs a user out by ending the current session. In this example,
the session is ended by constructing an HTTP request using the DELETE
method and the current session ID.
Parameters
Returns
public function shareFile(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String, users:Array, emailMessage:String, level:int):ShareAPIToken
Shares an existing file or node with one or more specified users. The share level
is set by setting level to 0, 1, or 2. For example, this code could take in a
value set from a client's user interface, builds an XML payload containing a
list of specified users (if any), a message (which can be null), and the share
level. It then constructs an HTTP request using the PUT method and the path to
the requisite file.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String — The file node to share
|
| |
| users:Array — The list of users to share with
|
| |
| emailMessage:String — Optional message to include in email
|
| |
| level:int — 0 for private, 1 for enumerated users, 2 for public access
|
Returns
public function updateShare(user:ShareAPIUser, nodeId:String, usersToAdd:Array, usersToRemove:Array, emailMessage:String):ShareAPIToken
Updates a shared file by adding and removing users with permission to access the file.
It builds an XML payload containing a list of specified users to add and remove and
then constructs an HTTP request using the PUT method and the path to the requisite file.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| nodeId:String — File node to the share
|
| |
| usersToAdd:Array — Add these users to the share
|
| |
| usersToRemove:Array — Remove these users from the share
|
| |
| emailMessage:String — Optional message to include in the email
|
Returns
public function uploadFile(user:ShareAPIUser, file:FileReference, nodeId:String, name:String, description:String, renditions:Boolean, createpdf:Boolean = false):void
Uploads and adds a file to Share by building a request with an XML payload containing
the requisite details. Note that sig is the MD5 digest of the string formed by
concatenating data with the shared secret returned by an authorization token request.
Parameters
| user:ShareAPIUser — Execute method on behalf of this user
|
| |
| file:FileReference — File to upload
|
| |
| nodeId:String — Upload file using this name
|
| |
| name:String — Description of file. Set to null for none.
|
| |
| description:String — Upload file under this folder node. If null, upload to root node.
|
| |
| renditions:Boolean — Set to true to generate renditions (thumbnail, flash preview) for this document
|
