Lockers are folders where users and groups can store files. When a user, or group, creates a folder in the locker or uploads a file into the locker, the folder structure gets rooted in a root folder named /. In the descriptions that follow of the routes that require you to provide a path, generally the root folder is assumed as part of the route (because the root / must always appear).

Each folder in the locker can contain files and other folders. All the items in a folder must have a unique name: a folder cannot contain both a file named Test and a folder named Test, nor can it contain two folders or two files named Test.

Items in the locker are identified not by ID, but by the path name to the item from the root folder. Path names use the slash as a name separator: the system understands a name with a trailing slash as a folder name; it understands a name without a trailing slash as a file name.

Lockers may have a maximum size for all contained items, and may also have a maximum size imposed on each individual item.

Warning

If you use the API to delete a folder from a locker, then the service will attempt to recursively delete all that folder’s contents as well.

Attributes

LOCKERITEM_T

The types of items that can appear in a user’s locker are organized into a discrete list. We use the term LOCKERITEM_T to stand in for an appropriate integer value.

Actions

DELETE /d2l/api/le/(version)/locker/myLocker/(path)

Delete a file or folder from the current user’s locker.

Parameters:
  • version (D2LVERSION) – API version.

  • path (string) – Locker path below the root folder.

Status Codes:
API Versions:
  • 1.67+ – Route first appears in LMS v20.23.1.

  • 1.61-66Deprecated as of LMS v20.24.1.

  • 1.60-Obsolete as of LMS v20.24.1.

Input. Provide a locker path at the end of your action’s route. If the path ends in a trailing slash (/), this action seeks to delete the folder named before the slash. If the path ends in a name, this action seeks to delete the named file.

DELETE /d2l/api/le/(version)/locker/user/(userId)/(path)

Delete a file or folder from the provided user’s locker.

Parameters:
  • version (D2LVERSION) – API version.

  • userId (D2LID) – User ID.

  • path (string) – Locker path below the root folder.

Status Codes:
API Versions:
  • 1.67+ – Route first appears in LMS v20.23.1.

  • 1.61-66Deprecated as of LMS v20.24.1.

  • 1.60-Obsolete as of LMS v20.24.1.

Input. Provide a locker path at the end of your action’s route. If the path ends in a trailing slash (/), this action seeks to delete the folder named before the slash. If the path ends in a name, this action seeks to delete the named file.

Note

The calling user context may not use this route to modify another user’s locker. The provided userId in the route must be the calling user’s user ID.

GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/locker/myLocker/(path)

Retrieve a specific object from the current user’s locker.

Parameters:

  • 1.60-Obsolete as of LMS v20.24.1.

Input. Provide a locker path at the end of your action’s route. If your locker path ends in a trailing slash character (/), the service assumes you want to retrieve a locker folder; otherwise, it assumes you want to retrieve a file stored in a locker folder.

Return. If the action retrieves a folder, it returns a Folder JSON block. If the action retrieves a file, it returns a file stream.

GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/locker/user/(userId)/(path)
