Get started with Storage API
Introduction
This quick start is going to help you work with using Storage API. Tutorial describes main operations required to create files with folders, retrieving and managing them.
Info
Skill level:
Basic
Duration:
45 minutes
Prerequisites
This tutorial assumes that you already have:
- A tool such as
Postmanthat can be used to execute http calls. These calls can also be made using theTry Itbutton in the API documentation except from requests for file uploads. - Project iTwin created and configured. Try iTwins API.
Postman
Get1. Preparing to use Storage API
There are some actions, which should be completed before starting using Storage API.
1.1 Register an Application
You will need to register an application to use the iTwin Platform APIs. You can use the Register button to automatically create your first single page application (SPA). This will allow you to configure Authorization Code Flow for your SPA application and get the correct access token.
Once generated, you will be shown a few lines of code under the button.
- IMJS_AUTH_CLIENT_CLIENT_ID - this is the unique identifier for your application. Displayed on application details page as Client ID.
- IMJS_AUTH_CLIENT_REDIRECT_URI - specifies where users are redirected after they have chosen to authenticate your app. Displayed on application details page as one of Redirect URIs.
- IMJS_AUTH_CLIENT_LOGOUT_URI - specifies where users can be returned to after logging out. Displayed on application details page as one of Post logout redirect URIs.
- IMJS_AUTH_CLIENT_SCOPES - list of accesses granted to the application. Displayed on application details page as Scopes.
Or optionally: Register and configure your application manually following instructions in Register and modify an Application tutorial. Make sure that your application is associated with Storage API and has
storage:modify storage:readscopes enabled.
Register a basic SPA App for this tutorial
Requires you to sign in. Will automatically generate a Single page application (SPA) that is required to complete this tutorial. You will be able to manage your SPA from your My apps page.
1.2 Get a token
To make request to API user token is needed. There are several ways to get it.
Implement Authorization Code Flow in the application
Follow this article to implement Authorization code workflow in your application.
Grab a user token from API reference “Try it” Section
- Go to Get top level folders and files by project - Storage
- Click “Try it” button.
- On Authorization section select “AuthorizationCode”.
- After popup closes Authorization header with your user token value should be visible.
- Save user token value for this tutorial.
1.3 Get a link to the Storage
Files and folders created via Storage API are associated with project. If project is already existing then root folder, which is parent folder to first level files and folders could be retrieved by getting iTwins operation.
Another way of getting link to the storage is by executing HTTP GET https://api.bentley.com/storage?projectId=PROJECT_ID request.
You can execute the request in Get top level folders and files by project documentation page, “Try it” section.
Top level folders with files should be returned if there are any. Response will contain link to the storage, to the root folder.
HTTP request
GET https://api.bentley.com/storage?projectId=PROJECT_ID HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/vnd.bentley.itwin-platform.v1+json Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN
Response Body
{ "items": [], "_links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.bentley.com/storage?projectId=PROJECT_ID&$skip=0&$top=100" }, "prev": { "href": "https://api.bentley.com/storage?projectId=PROJECT_ID&$skip=0&$top=100" }, "next": { "href": "https://api.bentley.com/storage?projectId=PROJECT_ID&$skip=100&$top=100" }, "folder": { "href": "https://api.bentley.com/storage/folders/TYJsPN0xtkWId0yUrXkS5g0CIYaGZLxEozrWBCOcS_s" } } }
2. Get folder
To retrieve root folder, HTTP GET https://api.bentley.com/storage/folders/FOLDER_ID request should be executed by using link from previous section or by existing another root folder ID.
You can execute the request in Get folder documentation page, “Try it” section.
HTTP request
GET https://api.bentley.com/storage/folders/FOLDER_ID HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/vnd.bentley.itwin-platform.v1+json Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN
