File Information Metadata

to get file metadata

POST <base_url>/port/api/v1/commerce/fileMetadata

Please replace <base_url> as explained here. Please note that file information metadata is different from SRR metadata.

Precaution

Multiple files

When requesting for multiple files:

If all files are found in our buckets and the requested is authorized for the access, the response is going to succeed and include the respective information per requested file. However in any other case the response status is not 200 and the return information will be only including inaccessible files that is <= the requested files.

Use case

If the file information metadata exists, it means the file is ready to be included in Issue & Transfer SRR call.

Headers

Name	Type	Description
commerce-api-key*	string	Commerce API Key
issuer-address*	string	Contract Address of API Key owner

Request Body

Name	Type	Description
payload*	array	Array of the request. Each element of the array corresponds to a file.
payload[*].filename*	string	Name of the file. Should contain file extensions (.jpg, .png, .pdf, etc). Should not contain space. Use a unique name for each file. If the filename is already used by the client, then it will fail when uploading. (unique for each LUW, but can be same for different LUW). This is to avoid modification of files that are already used in SRR. If the client needs to delete an existing file, please contact Startbahn.
payload[*].category*	string	Please refer to this page to understand the difference among the categories. Use non_attachment_file to upload thumbnails and contract terms.

200: OK

The API responds with 200 if the check to the storage provider success. Bear in mind that client’s back end needs to check the results[*].message if there is a problem with each file.
