get media_info with listFolder
Hi,
I I call listInfo with includeMediaInfo parameter. How can I extract the media_info as per the reference document:
includeMediaInfo |
If true, :field:‘FileMetadata.media_info’ is set for photo and video. |
Code extract:
client.files.listFolder(path: path, recursive: false, includeMediaInfo: true, includeDeleted: false).response { response, error in
if let result = response {
for entry in result.entries {
....
}
}

You could do something like this:
client.files.listFolder(path: ", recursive: false, includeMediaInfo: true, includeDeleted: false).response { response, error in
if let result = response {
for entry in result.entries {
print(entry.name)
if let fileEntry = entry as? Files.FileMetadata {
if ((fileEntry.mediaInfo) != nil) {
switch fileEntry.mediaInfo! as Files.MediaInfo {
case .Pending:
print("Media info is pending...")
case .Metadata(let mediaMetadata):
print("dimensions: \(mediaMetadata.dimensions)")
print("location: \(mediaMetadata.location)")
print("timeTaken: \(mediaMetadata.timeTaken)")
}
}
}
}
} else if let callError = error {
print(callError)
}
}Apologies for the poor formatting.

Thanks Gregory. This works great. Does includeMediaInfo have any negative impact on the performance of listing files?

I don't believe there should be any performance impact. The media information is prepared separately, and if it isn't ready, you'll just get the .Pending case.
