Implementation Notes

When a file is deleted, it is moved into the archive. It will remain in the archive until it is either permanently deleted (DELETE:archive/files/{fileid}) or restored (POST:archive/files/restore/{fileid}). While a file is in the archive, it cannot be modified.

C# Code Sample: Retrieve File Archive

The following code example retrieves a list of files in the archive:

Sample Code

Plug p = Plug.New("http://help.mindtouch.us/@api/deki");
p.At("users", "authenticate").WithCredentials("admin", "password").Get();
p.At("archive", "files").Get();
