DocumentExists1

# DocumentExists1 API

Checks whether a named document exists within a specified folder and returns CRC32 checksums for the latest version and the published version. This is an alternative to DocumentExists that accepts the folder path and document name as separate parameters instead of a combined full path.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/DocumentExists1

Methods

  • GET /srv.asmx/DocumentExists1?authenticationTicket=...&FolderPath=...&DocumentName=...
  • POST /srv.asmx/DocumentExists1 (form data)
  • SOAP Action: http://tempuri.org/DocumentExists1

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
authenticationTicket string Yes Authentication ticket obtained from AuthenticateUser.
FolderPath string Yes Full infoRouter path of the folder containing the document (e.g. /MyLibrary/Reports).
DocumentName string Yes Name of the document within the folder (e.g. Report.pdf). Do not include a leading slash.

Response

Success Response

<response success="true" CRC32LASTVERSION="a3f1c29d" CRC32="b7e4d80c" />
Attribute Description
success true if the document was found.
CRC32LASTVERSION CRC32 checksum of the latest version's file content.
CRC32 CRC32 checksum of the published version's file content. Empty string if no version has been published.

Error Response

<response success="false" error="Error message" />

Required Permissions

Any authenticated user may call this API. The folder and document must be accessible to the authenticated user.

Example

GET Request

GET /srv.asmx/DocumentExists1
  ?authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301

  &DocumentName=Report.pdf
HTTP/1.1

POST Request

POST /srv.asmx/DocumentExists1 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

authenticationTicket=3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301
&FolderPath=/MyLibrary/Reports
&DocumentName=Report.pdf

SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:DocumentExists1>
      <tns:authenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:authenticationTicket>
      <tns:FolderPath>/MyLibrary/Reports</tns:FolderPath>
      <tns:DocumentName>Report.pdf</tns:DocumentName>
    </tns:DocumentExists1>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

  • Unlike DocumentExists, this variant does not accept short document paths (~D{id}.{ext}). Both FolderPath and DocumentName must be plain string values.
  • The lookup resolves the folder first, then searches for the document by name within that folder. If either step fails, an error is returned.
  • The CRC32 attribute (published version checksum) is an empty string when no version of the document has been published.
  • Use the returned CRC32 checksums to verify document content integrity without downloading the file.
  • DocumentExists - Check document existence using a single combined path (also supports short ~D paths)
  • GetDocument - Get full document properties
  • FolderExists - Check whether a folder exists at a given path

Error Codes

[900] Authentication failed Invalid or missing authentication ticket.
[901] Session expired or Invalid ticket The ticket has expired or does not exist.
Folder not found The FolderPath does not refer to an existing folder.
Document not found No document named DocumentName exists in the specified folder.
