I'm using the /_vti_bin/listdata.svc endpoint in the SharePoint 2010 REST API to update file metadata. At the moment I'm referencing the file by ID, but I'd like to use the file's path or filename instead.

Is there a method I can use to reference a file directly by it's path, similar to getFileByServerRelativeURL() from SharePoint 2013 onwards?

  • Neither - I'm making direct HTTP requests to the REST API.

You can use $filter query string and a property called "Name" like

/_vti_bin/Listdata.svc/myList()?$filter=Name eq 'Task3'

to get only the item which has its name as 'Task3'

  • That's not to grab the file, but a list item.

  • I tried this and it does also work for libraries, where Name refers to the filename.
