How to include delete files when querying files via api?

I need to download files in ShareFile, but I need to consider deleted files as well while in the recycle bin.

For not deleted files "GET /sf/v3/Items({id})/Download?redirect=false" works fine.
The ShareFile API documentation mentions "includeDeleted=false" so I tried add it to my initial url ("GET /sf/v3/Items({id})/Download?redirect=false&includeDeleted=true") but now for all requests made I got 404.

Do I need any special permission for querying archived files?

Thanks,

Gustavo

You will have to restore the files from the recycle bin before you can download them.  You can still get the metadata for a file that is in the recycle bin by using the "includeDeleted" option.

Oh I see. I thought that would be possible since on ShareFile documentation for downloading item content the url below is used:

/sf/v3/Items(id)/Download?includeallversions=false&includeDeleted=false

My guess was that using true on includeDeleted and/or true on includeallversions should give me the file I need.

Is that possible to restore the deleted file to a different folder other than its original folder?

Thanks,

Gustavo

No ... Restore will send the file/folder back to the parent folder where it was originally deleted.  If you desire for it to be somewhere else then you would need to restore it then move it.
