## Description

GDataDocumentsService is a subclass of GDataService for communicating with the GData API of Google Drive. It supports querying for, inserting, editing and deleting documents, as well as a folder hierarchy. The API is named ‘documents’ rather than ‘drive’ as it used to use the Google Documents API, which has since been deprecated.

For more details of Google Drive's GData API, see the

online documentation.

Fore more details about the spreadsheet downloads handling, see the

online explanation about the problem.

## Functions

### gdata_documents_service_new ()

    GDataDocumentsService *
    gdata_documents_service_new (GDataAuthorizer *authorizer);

Creates a new GDataDocumentsService using the given GDataAuthorizer. If `authorizer` is `NULL`, all requests are made as an unauthenticated user.

#### Parameters

authorizer | a GDataAuthorizer to authorize the service's requests, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

a new GDataDocumentsService, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_documents_service_get_primary_authorization_domain ()

    GDataAuthorizationDomain *
    gdata_documents_service_get_primary_authorization_domain
                                   (void);

The primary GDataAuthorizationDomain for interacting with Google Documents. This will not normally need to be used, as it's used internally by the GDataDocumentsService methods. However, if using the plain GDataService methods to implement custom queries or requests which libgdata does not support natively, then this domain may be needed to authorize the requests.

The domain never changes, and is interned so that pointer comparison can be used to differentiate it from other authorization domains.

#### Returns

the service's authorization domain.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_documents_service_get_spreadsheet_authorization_domain ()

    GDataAuthorizationDomain *
    gdata_documents_service_get_spreadsheet_authorization_domain
                                   (void);

The GDataAuthorizationDomain for interacting with spreadsheet data. This will not normally need to be used, as it's automatically used internally by the GDataDocumentsService methods. However, if using the plain GDataService methods to implement custom queries or requests which libgdata does not support natively, then this domain may be needed to authorize the requests which pertain to the Google Spreadsheets Data API, such as requests to download or upload spreadsheet documents.

The domain never changes, and is interned so that pointer comparison can be used to differentiate it from other authorization domains.

#### Returns

the service's authorization domain.

[transfer none]

Since: 0.9.0

### gdata_documents_service_get_metadata ()

    GDataDocumentsMetadata *
    gdata_documents_service_get_metadata (GDataDocumentsService *self,
                                          GCancellable *cancellable,
                                          GError **error);

Gets a GDataDocumentsMetadata object containing metadata about the documents service itself, like how large the user quota is.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

the service's metadata object; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

    void
    gdata_documents_service_get_metadata_async
                                   (GDataDocumentsService *self,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
                                    gpointer user_data);

Gets a GDataDocumentsMetadata object containing metadata about the documents service itself, like how large the user quota is.

For more details, see `gdata_documents_service_get_metadata()`, which is the synchronous version of this function.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `gdata_documents_service_get_metadata_finish()` to get the results of the operation.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when the operation is finished, or `NULL` |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]

Since: 0.17.9

### gdata_documents_service_get_metadata_finish ()

    GDataDocumentsMetadata *
    gdata_documents_service_get_metadata_finish
                                   (GDataDocumentsService *self,
                                    GAsyncResult *async_result,
                                    GError **error);

Finish an asynchronous operation to get a GDataDocumentsMetadata started with `gdata_documents_service_get_metadata_async()`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
async_result | a GAsyncResult |
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

the service's metadata object; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

### gdata_documents_service_query_documents ()

    GDataDocumentsFeed *
    gdata_documents_service_query_documents
                                   (GDataDocumentsService *self,
                                    GDataDocumentsQuery *query,
                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GDataQueryProgressCallback progress_callback,

                                    GError **error);

Queries the service to return a list of documents matching the given `query` . Note that `query` has to be a GDataDocumentsQuery, rather than just a GDataQuery, as it uses the folder ID specified in “folder-id”.

For more details, see `gdata_service_query()`.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
query | a GDataDocumentsQuery with the query parameters, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
progress_callback | a GDataQueryProgressCallback to call when an entry is loaded, or `NULL`. | [allow-none][scope call][closure progress_user_data]
progress_user_data | data to pass to the `progress_callback` function. | [closure]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

a GDataDocumentsFeed of query results; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

                                    gpointer user_data);

Queries the service to return a list of documents matching the given `query` . `self` and `query` are both reffed when this function is called, so can safely be unreffed after this function returns.

For more details, see `gdata_documents_service_query_documents()`, which is the synchronous version of this function, and `gdata_service_query_async()`, which is the base asynchronous query function.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
query | a GDataDocumentsQuery with the query parameters, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
cancellable | optional GCancellable object, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
progress_callback | a GDataQueryProgressCallback to call when an entry is loaded, or `NULL`. | [allow-none][closure progress_user_data]
progress_user_data | data to pass to the `progress_callback` function. | [closure]
destroy_progress_user_data | the function to call when `progress_callback` will not be called any more, or `NULL`. This function will be called with `progress_user_data` as a parameter and can be used to free any memory allocated for it. | [allow-none]
callback | a GAsyncReadyCallback to call when authentication is finished |
user_data | data to pass to the `callback` function. | [closure]

                                    GError **error);

Uploads a document to Google Documents, using the properties from `document` and the document data written to the resulting GDataUploadStream. If the document data does not need to be provided at the moment, just the metadata, use `gdata_service_insert_entry()` instead (e.g. in the case of creating a new, empty file to be edited at a later date).

This performs a non-resumable upload, unlike `gdata_documents_service_upload_document()`. This means that errors during transmission will cause the upload to fail, and the entire document will have to be re-uploaded. It is recommended that `gdata_documents_service_upload_document_resumable()` be used instead.

If `document` is `NULL`, only the document data will be uploaded. The new document entry will be named using `slug` , and will have default metadata.

The stream returned by this function should be written to using the standard GOutputStream methods, asychronously or synchronously. Once the stream is closed (using `g_output_stream_close()`), `gdata_documents_service_finish_upload()` should be called on it to parse and return the updated GDataDocumentsDocument for the document. This must be done, as `document` isn't updated in-place.

In order to cancel the upload, a GCancellable passed in to `cancellable` must be cancelled using `g_cancellable_cancel()`. Cancelling the individual GOutputStream operations on the GDataUploadStream will not cancel the entire upload; merely the write or close operation in question. See the “cancellable” for more details.

Any upload errors will be thrown by the stream methods, and may come from the GDataServiceError domain.

#### Parameters

self | an authenticated GDataDocumentsService |
document | the GDataDocumentsDocument to insert, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
slug | the filename to give to the uploaded document |
content_type | the content type of the uploaded data |
folder | the folder to which the document should be uploaded, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
cancellable | a GCancellable for the entire upload stream, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

a GDataUploadStream to write the document data to, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

### gdata_documents_service_upload_document_resumable ()

    GDataUploadStream *
    gdata_documents_service_upload_document_resumable
                                   (GDataDocumentsService *self,
                                    GDataDocumentsDocument *document,
                                    const gchar *slug,
                                    const gchar *content_type,

                                    GCancellable *cancellable,
                                    GError **error);

Uploads a document to Google Documents, using the properties from `document` and the document data written to the resulting GDataUploadStream. If the document data does not need to be provided at the moment, just the metadata, use `gdata_service_insert_entry()` instead (e.g. in the case of creating a new, empty file to be edited at a later date).

Unlike `gdata_documents_service_upload_document()`, this method performs a

resumable upload which allows for correction of

transmission errors without re-uploading the entire file. Use of this method is preferred over `gdata_documents_service_upload_document()`.

If `document` is `NULL`, only the document data will be uploaded. The new document entry will be named using `slug` , and will have default metadata.

If non-`NULL`, the `query` specifies parameters for the upload, such as a GDataDocumentsFolder to upload the document into; and whether to treat the document as an opaque file, or convert it to a standard format. If `query` is `NULL`, the document will be uploaded into the root folder, and automatically converted to a standard format. No OCR or automatic language translation will be performed by default.

If `query` is non-`NULL` and “convert” is `FALSE`, `document` must be an instance of GDataDocumentsDocument. Otherwise, `document` must be a subclass of it, such as GDataDocumentsPresentation.

The stream returned by this function should be written to using the standard GOutputStream methods, asychronously or synchronously. Once the stream is closed (using `g_output_stream_close()`), `gdata_documents_service_finish_upload()` should be called on it to parse and return the updated GDataDocumentsDocument for the document. This must be done, as `document` isn't updated in-place.

In order to cancel the upload, a GCancellable passed in to `cancellable` must be cancelled using `g_cancellable_cancel()`. Cancelling the individual GOutputStream operations on the GDataUploadStream will not cancel the entire upload; merely the write or close operation in question. See the “cancellable” for more details.

Any upload errors will be thrown by the stream methods, and may come from the GDataServiceError domain.

#### Parameters

self | an authenticated GDataDocumentsService |
document | the GDataDocumentsDocument to insert, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
slug | the filename to give to the uploaded document |
content_type | the content type of the uploaded data |
content_length | the size (in bytes) of the file being uploaded |
query | a query specifying parameters for the upload, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
cancellable | a GCancellable for the entire upload stream, or `NULL`. | [allow-none]
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

a GDataUploadStream to write the document data to, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`.

Update the document using the properties from `document` and the document data written to the resulting GDataUploadStream. If the document data does not need to be changed, just the metadata, use `gdata_service_update_entry()` instead.

This performs a non-resumable upload, unlike `gdata_documents_service_update_document()`. This means that errors during transmission will cause the upload to fail, and the entire document will have to be re-uploaded.

                                           GError **error);

Finish off a document upload or update operation started by `gdata_documents_service_upload_document()` or `gdata_documents_service_update_document()`, parsing the result and returning the new or updated GDataDocumentsDocument.

If an error occurred during the upload or update operation, it will have been returned during the operation (e.g. by `g_output_stream_splice()` or one of the other stream methods). In such a case, `NULL` will be returned but `error` will remain unset. `error` is only set in the case that the server indicates that the operation was successful, but an error is encountered in parsing the result sent by the server.

In the case that no GDataDocumentsDocument was passed (to `gdata_documents_service_upload_document()` or `gdata_documents_service_update_document()`) when starting the operation, `GDATA_DOCUMENTS_SERVICE_ERROR_INVALID_CONTENT_TYPE` will be thrown in `error` if the content type of the uploaded data could not be mapped to a document type with which to interpret the response from the server.

#### Parameters

self | a GDataDocumentsService |
upload_stream | the GDataUploadStream from the operation |
error | a GError, or `NULL` |

#### Returns

the new or updated GDataDocumentsDocument, or `NULL`; unref with `g_object_unref()`.
