Unable to get the metadata or the web view url

[lokeswarisatyanarayanan]

I am unable to get the web view link to the file. I am using the get method available. But there is no example/clear documentation with respect to how to use it to get the required data.

const getFile = async (fileId) => { const gdrive = new GDrive(); gdrive.accessToken = (await GoogleSignin.getTokens()).accessToken; try { let queryParams = { fields : "webViewLink", } let list = await gdrive.files.get(fileId, queryParams) console.log(list) } catch (error) { console.log(JSON.stringify(error)) } }

Heres the code I have. The success code is 200 but in the response I am not receiving the web view url

Have a look at gdrive.files.getMetadata().

I tried that. It returns an empty object with both queryParameters passed and no query parameters

This code works for me.

function App() {
  useEffect(() => {
    GoogleSignin.configure({
      scopes: [
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive",
        "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appfolder"
      ]});

    (async () => {
      try {
        await GoogleSignin.hasPlayServices();
        await GoogleSignin.signIn();

        const gdrive = new GDrive();
        gdrive.accessToken = (await GoogleSignin.getTokens()).accessToken;

        console.log(await gdrive.files.getMetadata(
          fileId, {
            fields: "webViewLink"
          }
        ));
      } catch (error) {
        console.log("oops", error.toString());
      }

Is your setup correct? Can you write or read files?

It works! it was the scopes!

Thank you so much for the quick turn around time.
