Description
I’m trying to list all the file IDs in a specific folder in Google Drive using the Drive API.
First, I find the folder ID like this:
import requests
headers = {
"Authorization": GCP_ACCESS_TOKEN,
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
# Find a folder's ID
parent_folder_id = "12345"
folder_name = "photos"
query = f"name='{folder_name}' and '{parent_folder_id}' in parents and mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.folder' and trashed=false"
params = {
"q": query,
"fields": 'files(id)'
}
response = requests.get("https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", headers=headers, params=params)
print(response.json())
This returns:
{'files': [{'id': "6789"}]}
Now, I’m trying to get all file IDs in that folder:
folder_id = "6789"
query = f"'{parent_folder_id}' in parents and mimeType='application/vnd.google-apps.file' and trashed=false"
params = {
"q": query,
"fields": 'files(id)'
}
response = requests.get("https://www.googleapis.com/drive/v3/files", headers=headers, params=params)
print(response.json())
But this returns:
{"files": []}
It’s weird because this folder has two files. I’m not sure what’s happening.
What am I doing wrong? How can I correctly list all the file IDs in a folder?
Additional Information:
• I’m using Python and the requests library.
• The folder definitely contains two files.
• The authorization token is valid and working, as I can retrieve other data.
