what I'm currently doing is accessing the files in my Document Library through the REST API like this: [baseURL]/_api/Web/GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('[relativeURL]'). To collect these relativeURLs, I first need to crawl through the directories first, which is quiet clumsy.

I've noticed that there's also an option to access them through the GUID: [baseURL]/_api/Web/GetFileById('[guid]'). However this doesn't seem much easier.

I've noticed that every file gets assigned a numerically index ID by default. E.g:

Is there a way to access the files through this ID column via the REST API?

To query list items by ItemId, use REST API endpoint such as this:

/_api/web/lists/getByTitle('List Name')/items(" + ItemId + ")

  • Oh, I was under the impression that SharePoint considers Document Libraries as something completely different than Lists and as such this method of access was not available.
