Hi,

Is it possible to extract Document properties of a file and update library column using REST API?

T

Hi,

We can use the following REST endpoint to get document property:

http://site/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/Shared Documents/filename.docx')/<property name>

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn450841(v=office.15).aspx#bk_File

If you want to update document library column, the following blog for your reference:

So with this URI, is it possible to get File Last Modified Property? I am looking for a time stamp when the file itself was modified not necessarily the time stamp in sharepoint.

Hi,

We can use this:

http://site/_api/web/getfilebyserverrelativeurl('/Shared Documents/filename.docx')/TimeLastModified
