For my current project I’m stuck working with ColdFusion. My question is, how much work will I have to put into re-writing library functionality before I can retrive “public on the web” files from a given folder on Google Drive? In other words, I have a folderID predefined and need to retrieve all public files within it.
This would be the only functionality I need, so I don’t want to code full functionality for the GD API if I only need a small segment.
I know there is a ColdFusion implementation of OAuth, though I haven’t yet looked into what it is capable of. My main concern is whether I can completely avoid authentication with the given circumstances I’m working with.
Anything pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
I don’t know Coldfusion, but you can retrieve the list of public files in a folder by sending an authorized GET request to
where ‘1234567’ is the folder ID.
Remember to URL-encode the query parameter so that it looks like the following when is sent to the API:
You can also try the same requests using the OAuth 2.0 Playground.
