File documentation

Learn how to interact with this file using the Ouro SDK or REST API.

API access requires an API key. Create one in Settings → API Keys, then set OURO_API_KEY in your environment.

Retrieve file

Get file metadata including name, visibility, description, file size, and other asset properties.

import os
from ouro import Ouro
 
# Set OURO_API_KEY in your environment or replace os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY")
ouro = Ouro(api_key=os.environ.get("OURO_API_KEY"))
 
file_id = "59f11c78-8dfb-4d31-a74d-10b56808b536"
 
# Retrieve file metadata
file = ouro.files.retrieve(file_id)
print(file.name, file.visibility)
print(file.metadata)

Read file data

Get a URL to download or embed the file. For private assets, the URL is temporary and will expire after 1 hour.

# Get signed URL to download the file
file_data = file.read_data()
print(file_data.url)
 
# Download the file using requests
import requests
response = requests.get(file_data.url)
with open('downloaded_file', 'wb') as output_file:
    output_file.write(response.content)

Update file

Update file metadata (name, description, visibility, etc.) and optionally replace the file data with a new file. Requires write or admin permission.

# Update file metadata
updated = ouro.files.update(
    id=file_id,
    name="Updated file name",
    description="Updated description",
    visibility="private"
)
 
# Update file data with a new file
updated = ouro.files.update(
    id=file_id,
    file_path="./new_file.txt"
)

Delete file

Permanently delete a file from the platform. Requires admin permission. This action cannot be undone.

# Delete a file (requires admin permission)
ouro.files.delete(id=file_id)
