Get Metadata Endpoint

The Get Metadata is an endpoint in ProGet's Asset Directory API. It returns metadata for the specified "item" (file or folder) as a JSON Asset Metadata object

curl -X GET --header "X-ApiKey: abc12345" "https://proget.corp.local/endpoints/internal-files/metadata/log_data.bin"

Request Specification

To get the metadata of an item, simply GET to the URL with the AssetDirectoryName and path to the item.

GET /endpoints/«AssetDirectoryName»/metadata/«path»

Requesting a folder's metadata requires the asset directory name (e.g. myAssetDirectory), and the folder name (e.g. myFolder)

GET /endpoints/myAssetDirectory/metadata/myFolder

Requesting a file's metadata within a folder requires the asset directory name (e.g. myAssetDirectory), the folder name (e.g. myFolder) and the file name (e.g. mycontent.bin)

GET /endpoints/myAssetDirectory/metadata/myFolder/mycontent.bin

Response Specification

A successful (200) response body will contain a Metadata object describing a file or folder in the specified path. For example, querying mycontent.bin, the request would return a single object:
