Your guide to using the SideDrawer API

Sync your files from other cloud storage systems, including Google Drive, OneDrive, Sharepoint, and Dropbox.


API

Use our API reference to navigate our API collections and efficiently integrate SideDrawer into your organization. We have three main API collections:

  • Cabinets handles the front-end, the SideDrawer "app"
  • Blocks is used for more efficient file uploads
  • Tenants handles the SideDrawer "Console" that Tenants have access to

A note on versioning

You may notice that we have v1 and v2 endpoints. These denote different functions of similar endpoints. For example, many v2 GET endpoints have the same general function as v1 GET endpoints, but return the information in a paginated form, whereas the v1 endpoints do not have pagination. Some v1 and v2 endpoints also differ in the file identifiers they use: file names or file tokens.

  • In cases with such differences between the versions, we have kept both v1 and v2 endpoints to provide you with greater flexibility, so you can decide which version is best for you

We have compiled a list of endpoints for which both v1 and v2 versions exist, so you can easily compare their differences and determine which is best suited to your needs.

  • Where the v1 endpoint offers no benefit over the v2, we have only displayed v2 versions
  • Some endpoints have not had a second version and so you will only find a v1
