I'm switching to the Google drive V3 apis and I'm not able to retrieve the stream to the document.
Goal: I want to push a google drive document to another location and I need to retrieve the stream of the file in order to use it to push it to the target.
I can't find a way to do it using Google Drive API V3 !
In V2, I used:
downloadUrl = file.ExportLinks[(string)ExportTable[file.MimeType]];
And then I could use something like:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(downloadUrl));
I don't find the equivalent in V3. I tried:
var getfile = _service.Files.Get(file.Id).Execute();
var request = _service.Files.Export(file.Id, getfile.MimeType);
System.IO.Stream stream = request.ExecuteAsStream();
And the content of the stream is:
{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "fileNotExportable",
"message": "Export only supports Google Docs."
} ],
"code": 403,
"message": "Export only supports Google Docs."
}
}
Of course, we don't want to download it to a local file and then generate a new stream from the file cached locally. We want to remain entirely in memory.
Thanks for your help
