Storage API : DropBox Listing

DropBox Listing

Script path: /storage/bin/api/dbox_list.cgi

Description: Returns the list of items dropped to the authenticated user. It can also list the items dropped by the authenticated user.

INPUT (via GET or POST)

   sid => the authenticated session id  (must be valid)

to_user = 0 | 1 (default is 1)
List out items dropped to this authenticated user (by others)
(This will be listed if to_user is specifically turned off.)

from_user = 0 | 1 (default is 0)
List out items dropped by this authenticated user to others

sortby = date | size | from | filename | expiry
(default is date i.e. date & time the drop was done NOT the file's date)

sorthow = acend | decend (default is decend)

Sorting parameters apply similar to both to_user and from_user lists at the same time.

ofmt => output format defaults to JSON format with minimal white spaces.
ofmt = jsonp means to produce JSON format in pretty printed way (easier to read)

OUTPUT (content-type: text/plain)


    JSON output object:

{
"status" : true | false,
// true only if the API completes successfully
// false if otherwise

"errmsg" : error message, if status is false,
"errcode" : internal error code (alphanumeric) only if in case of error,

"to_user" :
count => N, the number of items thislist
list => [
{ dropitem "sent" TO this authenticate user }, ...
],


"from_user" :
count => N, the number of items thislist
list => [
{ dropitem "sent" FROM (by) this authenticate user }, ...
],

}

-----

Each of the dropitem is a JSON object of this form:

{
id => the dropitem ID (alphanumeric)

date => the date/time when the drop was done (adjusted to user's timezone)
date_gmt => the date/time when the drop was done (GMT)

expiry => the date/time when the drop will expire (adjusted to user's timezone)
expiry_gmt => the date/time when the drop will expire (GMT)

to_email => the drop recipient's email address (or internal userid)
to_email_fullname => recipient's fullname, if any

from_email => the drop sender's email address (or internal userid)
from_email_fullname => recipient's fullname, if any

spath => the storage path to the item (could be a file or a folder)
itemname => the item's basename (the last component of spath)

is_folder => false | true

desc => the description of the item at the time of the drop

size => the size of the item at the time of the drop (if folder, the total file size it contains)

}

Examples:

An empty user's drop box looks like this:
{
"to_user" : {
"count" : 0,
"list" : []
},
"status" : true,
"errmsg" : ""
}

An example with a list of two items dropped to the user:
{
"to_user" : {
"count" : 2,
"list" : [
{
"from_email" : "user1@noc.afteroffice.com",
"expiry" : "2013-12-28 22:21:09",
"itemname" : "filename.txt",
"date" : "2013-12-23 22:21:09",
"is_folder" : false,
"to_email_fullname" : "SS Chan",
"expiry_gmt" : "2013-12-28 14:21:09",
"from_email_fullname" : "User One",
"to_email" : "sschan@noc.afteroffice.com",
"size" : 522,
