Get trashed file
Retrieves a file that has been moved to the trash.
Please note that only if the file itself has been moved to the
trash can it be retrieved with this API call. If instead one of
its parent folders was moved to the trash, only that folder
can be inspected using the
GET /folders/:id/trash API.
To list all items that have been moved to the trash, please
use the GET /folders/trash/items
API.
Request
Path Parameters
12345The unique identifier that represents a file.
The ID for any file can be determined
by visiting a file in the web application
and copying the ID from the URL. For example,
for the URL https://*.app.box.com/files/123
the file_id is 123.
Query Parameters
id,type,nameA comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response.
Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.
Response
Returns the file that was trashed, including information about when the it was moved to the trash.
Returns an error if the file can not be found directly in the trash.
Please note that a HTTP 404 is also returned if any of
the file's parent folders have been moved to the trash.
In that case, only that parent folder can be inspected using
the GET /folders/:id/trash API.
An unexpected client error.
