Hi all,

Is it currently possible to GET the “File usage” information on a given file via the Files or CMS v3 API (or at all)? Others have asked this in the Hubspot Slack channel multiple times and were never responded to. Or is this just an existing limitation right now?

Hey, @IPChris 👋 I do not see this as an option in the [Files API endpoints](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/api/files/files). Additionally, I located this [Ideas post](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Tracking-Documents-from-File-Manager/idi-p/8760/page/8#comments) asking for similar functionality that was updated by the Product Team to “Not Currently Planned”.

Best,

Jaycee

I was worried that’d be the case! Thank you for the extra legwork; here’s to hoping we get news of that kind of endpoint in the future.
