Formatting a Download Vault Export Request

[Steve - DynTech]

gam download vaultexport|export <ExportItem> matter <MatterItem> [targetfolder <FilePath>] [noverify] [noextract] [ziptostdout]
gam download vaultexport|export <MatterItem> <ExportItem> [targetfolder <FilePath>] [noverify] [noextract] [ziptostdout]

Looking at Download Vault Exports format I thought my first one below would match but no...

Then I was hoping I could send the export straight todrive but don't see that as an option so I'm wondering now if some super long command with ziptostdout then back to drive with  

https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD/wiki/Users-Drive-Files#create-files would even work.

I have no idea why I keep getting these message rejected emails but the post gets saved to the group web page. This is the 3rd time for me today.

Anyone familiar with how to use the Vault APIs with gam?

It also seems that a simple gam show vaultexports exceeds the default vault quotas quite quickly. Is there a way to better optimise this command (probably not)? if not, this seems to be a required step using gam and vaultexports: Google Vault API Quota Request

Try: gam config api_calls_rate_check true api_calls_rate_limit = N blah blah

The api_calls_rate_limit is number of calls per 100 seconds, so you may need a fairly small value N = 50?

Nice trick on the api calls. Hopefully the request to double the api value from 120 to 240 is accepted.

btw, thanks to ross, the correct command would be

gam download vaultexport id:exportly-abbe535b-0c2c-419b-9e1c-6596d8085ee1 matter id:06cdd73a-e6e4-484f-9ce4-7e2ac4dee2c4 noextract

Another thing that threw me for a loop was the download went to the default which is usually drive_dir = $HOME in the gam.cfg file. I'm so used to > sending to the directory I'm in that took a few minutes to figure out.

[Steve - DynTech]

I tried, but that makes sense why it doesn't accept it by default

It's the ziptostdout that's broken. Python 3 is whining. I'll get it.

From Wiki:

By default, the export file will be downloaded to the directory specified by `drive_dir` in gam.cfg.

* `targetfolder <FilePath>` - The export file will be downloaded to `<FilePath>`

By default, the export file has a long name made up of the matter name, export name and date.

This name is used for the top level Zip file, Zip files extracted from the top level Zip file will still have their long names.

* `targetname <FileName>` - Specify a name for the downloaded Zip file.

* `noextract` - Do not extract files from downloaded Zip file

Any chance we can explain how this works again for lil' ol' me ? 

Trying to get vault matters exported as zip directly to drive storage folder in same org. Will this work for this ? 

Can I see the full command, and is there any additional work i have do ? (ie. is it downloading to my computer first temporarily? )

[David Neff]

Hey Phil, I'm hoping your now an expert at GAM and Vault. I just made a post a few minutes ago in a new thread... maybe you're the golden ticket now?

Hello, I'm really hoping to find a template to manage the following.

A user "accidentally" deleted around 15000 files a month ago just before break.

Audit log confirms above and provides filenames and ID's but Vault is rather crude and it seems will be returning some 250000 files to sort through. 

It's been a few years since I last used GAM so with some encouragement I may dive back in. First, how feasible is it that I could use GAM to export only the deleted files? And of course if you just happen to have a template...

Thanks for looking,

David
