/files/v3/files/import-from-url/async returns link which is not valid

[UmairKhan]

I've been trying to attach a file from a URL in file manager and from file manager to deal through engagement. Previously, I was trying to do this process using this endpoint 

            /filemanager/api/v3/files/upload

but I wan't lucky enough to do my thing using that endpoint and posted a separate question for it on forum.

Now I'm trying to upload files from a url to file manager using this endpoint

           /files/v3/files/import-from-url/async

In response I'm getting

{"id":"AAAADKf-yqU","links":{"status":"https://api.hubspot.com/files/v3/files/download-from-url/AAAADKf-yqU/status"}}

Now I'm confused about this response because of two reasons

1. status link in the response is not working and returning 404 Not Found
2. If I've to attach this specific file with the engagement how can I do it because engagement takes attachment id of file not the id I'm getting in the response.

This is my code 

var options = {
  "method": "POST",
  "hostname": "api.hubapi.com",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/files/v3/files/import-from-url/async?hapikey=demo",
  "headers": {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "content-type": "application/json"
  }
};

var req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  var chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {
    var body = Buffer.concat(chunks);
    console.log(body.toString());
    console.log(body)
  });
});

req.write(JSON.stringify({
  access: 'PUBLIC_INDEXABLE',
  ttl: 'P3M',
  name: 'test image',
  url: "https://app.arrivy.com/api/files/AMIfv95pvfFG9Yvgxx2LVLTv7BFfIwsfRjeGXeQjUQYhlB3ul32Bwc86NYYR2uKcUXfv0KRoVwIwPCDy3sAaww3Msra-Kg4oZJsa9GgYVQIxjgNPMi1vRmmlnRQswrHQ2IDq3cRfGHY0Fcp62ocnsdq-d_772HWono9AyWYd6NOiAKbBhCUi95TYC0S74OPY6itN6owPt6MxU8TkuV1WR7UOgsVFVPjmjrt8ZVdHE1gF3Wi9epodApJ7Vgtswhhrfy7hqrCdXO5hsY2uTQtiXuTbu2SqYEurO8fOLBIbePjhjy4gmAyEiJuGgLYHcexNlUdRdWwwbjP68tgVgCanSDCfTmvWPhmwh9JPlykbunb194kfX2XQtWk",
  folderPath: 'docs',
  duplicateValidationStrategy: 'NONE',
  duplicateValidationScope: 'ENTIRE_PORTAL',
  overwrite: true
}));
req.end();

Thanks @Teun @dennisedson @TiphaineCuisset for your response. I've resolved my issue. It was related to filename not the folder path. If you don't mention extention(like .csv, .jpg, .txt) in your filename, you'll get an error on the status link found in response of /import-from-url/async Api.

Thank you for the update! Didn't even notice it, so good to keep in mind.

Hey @Teun I tried with folderId and still the url I got in the response giving me 404. Though my file get attached in the file manager by running the above mentioned script but the problem is to get the exact id of that file to attach it with the engagement.

[Teun]

@UmairKhan I think @dennisedson is giving you the answer, if you look at the docs the "folderPath" contains a / before the folder name. If that isn't working, could you try swapping the folderPath for a folderId parameter? That way, you know for sure that you have no issues with the relative path.

Hey guys @himanshurauthan @DanielSanchez did you get a chance to look into my problem ? Actually I'm blocked and I'll be thankful if you suggest me some kind of solution to my problem. And thankyou @TiphaineCuisset for mentioning daniel and himanshu.

@UmairKhan , wondering if the problem is as simple as the folder path needing a / in front of docs?

@Teun 👋, any thoughts here?
