Get File Metadata

Return file metadata together with the nullable current public-share state.

GET/api/v2/files/{fileId}/metadata

Authorization

apiKey
X-API-Key<token>

Your Sim API key, personal or workspace-scoped. Generate one under Settings, then API Keys. Operations that reject workspace keys say so in their own description.

In: header

Path Parameters

fileId*string

File identifier.

Match^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$
Length1 <= length <= 128

Query Parameters

workspaceId*string

Workspace that owns the file.

Length1 <= length <= 128
scope?string

Which lifecycle set to read from: active (default) resolves live files only and returns 404 for a file a DELETE soft-deleted; archived also resolves soft-deleted files, so metadata stays readable before POST /files/{fileId}/restore. Authorization is identical for both.
