File6 capabilities
  • Create a file

    Create a file at the path given. Not an upsert: a path already holding a file is a conflict, never an overwrite.

  • Delete a file

    Delete a file. Its change history goes with it, so this is not reversible. A protected file, or one with changes in review, is refused.

  • Get a file

    Get a file by its ID, with its full content. A file in another workspace answers as not found, so existence does not leak.

  • Get many files

    List files. Cursor paginated, never offset: a short page does not mean the end, so page until there are no more.

  • Update a file

    Rename a file, move it to another folder, or change whether writes to it go to review. Exactly one of the three per request.

  • Update file content

    Replace the entire file content, based on the Base Change ID of the file. If the file changed first the two versions are combined when possible, so use the returned content for the next edit.

Folder5 capabilities
  • Create a folder

    Create one folder at a path, creating missing parents, or inside a parent folder when given a name. Not an upsert: an occupied path is a conflict.

  • Delete a folder

    Delete a folder. Refuses a folder that still has contents unless Recursive is on. The refusal changes nothing.

  • Get a folder

    Get a folder by its ID. A folder in another workspace answers as not found, so existence does not leak.

  • Get many folders

    List folders by path, path prefix or parent. Without a filter it lists root folders. Cursor paginated, never offset.

  • Update a folder

    Rename a folder in place or move it. A move takes the whole subtree and every ID survives; the paths below it change.

Search2 capabilities
  • Search files by meaning

    Find the files that match your query and return their content, best match first. Also matches on meaning, so it finds files that answer the query without using the same words.

  • Search file lines with a regular expression

    Find lines that match an RE2 regular expression, citing the file each came from. Results are not relevance-ranked.
