Object Exists API – Verify File or Folder Presence in Aspose.Cells Cloud

Excel API: Object Exists

The Object Exists API lets developers determine whether a specific file or folder is present in Aspose.Cells Cloud storage. It returns a simple Boolean indicating existence and whether the path points to a folder.

Web API

GET https://api.aspose.cloud/v5.0/cells/storage/exist/{path}

{path} is the full path to the file or folder in storage.

Request Parameters

Parameter Name Type Location Required Description
path string Path Yes Full path to the file or folder.
storageName string Query No Name of the storage; defaults to the primary storage if omitted.
versionId string Query No Specific version identifier of the file (if versioning is enabled).

Response Codes

Code Meaning Description
200 OK The request succeeded; response body contains result.
401 Unauthorized Missing or invalid authentication token.
404 Not Found The specified path does not exist.
500 Internal Server Error An unexpected error occurred on the server.

Response Description

A successful call returns a JSON payload with two properties:

{
  "Exists": true,
  "IsFolder": false
}
  • Exists – true if the file or folder exists; otherwise false.
  • IsFolder – true when the path points to a folder; false for a file.

Notes / Limitations

  • Rate limits are applied per account; consult the Rate Limits page for exact values.
  • If storageName is omitted, the default storage configured for the account is used.
  • The API currently supports version 5.0; older version paths (/v4.0/) are deprecated.

OpenAPI Specification

The OpenAPI Specification defines a publicly accessible programming interface and lets you carry out REST interactions directly from a web browser.

Excel API SDK

Using an SDK is the best way to speed up development. An SDK takes care of low‑level details and lets you focus on your project tasks. Please check out the GitHub repository for a complete list of Aspose.Cells Cloud SDKs.
