missing file_ids

[wasnotrice]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the API in Ruby, and am having trouble getting
the file_ids for my files. When I call get_files, the response looks
like

<pre><code>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response status="1">
<files>
<file>
<file_name>snow_white.MOV</file_name>
<file_description></file_description>
<file_size>2.13</file_size>
<downloads>0</downloads>
<last_downloaded_at>0</last_downloaded_at>
<uploaded_at>1192600742</uploaded_at>
<folder_title></folder_title>
<folder_id></folder_id>
</file>
...snip...
</files>
</response>
</code></pre>

The API page says I should get a <file_id> element first, but it
doesn't show up for any of my files. I tried the slug from the url and
that doesn't seem to work in my code, or in the PHP library.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Eric

Please ignore the <pre><code> tags. That was just wishful thinking.

A correction: the output is from get_user_files, not get_files. I
can't get any results from get_files, since I can't find the file_ids.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for reporting this error, and sorry for the inconvenience. The bug is now fixed, so you should be getting file IDs in your responses now. Let us know if you have any more issues, and have a great day,
