Why is "assets" field an array in v2 events API?
Hi There,
We are using v2 version of events api and I want to understand why the "assets" field is an array? Under what circumstances can it return more than one values and what are these values?
Example , I get below for file upload event:
"assets": [
{
".tag": "file",
"path": {
"contextual": "/Sales/100Files/200/dbx-new-bus--200.docx",
"namespace_relative": {
"ns_id": "5218920352",
"relative_path": "/100Files/200/dbx-new-bus--200.docx"
}
},
"display_name": "dbx-new-bus--200.docx",
"file_id": "id:tG_h5JeqH1AAAAAAAAAAfQ"
}
],Thanks,
Manish
The 'assets' field is documented under /2/team_log/get_events. Make sure you click through 'TeamEvent' > 'AssetLogInfo' for the full description:
Zero or more content assets involved in the action. Currently these include Dropbox files and folders but in the future we might add other asset types such as Paper documents, folders, projects, etc. This field is optional.
So, if a particular event involves more than one asset at once, 'assets' may be longer than 1 item long in order to identify all relevant assets. Each item in the array will be of type 'AssetLogInfo'.
For instance, a 'file_copy' event lists both the 'AssetLogInfo' for the source file, as well as the 'AssetLogInfo' for the new copy of the file.
