Converting Shared Folder URL to an Un-Shortened URL

Question

Hi,

I want to integrate with the Subscription API of Sharepoint. I want to Subscribe to a particular Folder using the Shared Folder URL.

In order Subscribe, I will need the following:

1. Site URL
2. List Name/Title
3. Folder Path

I have been able to extract the Site URL from the Shared Folder URL using the API (https://pnp.github.io/pnpjs/sp/sites/#get-site-collection-url-from-page).

The Problem
Shared Folder URL Link is of the form https://{Vendor}.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/{Site_Name}/{Random_ID}?e={Random_Value}
There is no API that I have come across which can help me extract the other items (List Name & Folder Path).

Please help me with this query, thanks.

Hi @Anand Shende ,
I will recommend you rest api to get List Name and Folder Path. Please refer to the following url.

https://xxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('Document%20Lib/test')?$select=ServerRelativeUrl,Name

Hi @Anand Shende ,
You can refer to the following code to get Share Link.

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";  
import "@pnp/sp/webs";  
import "@pnp/sp/sharing";  
import { SharingLinkKind, IShareLinkResponse } from "@pnp/sp/sharing";  
import { dateAdd } from "@pnp/common";  
  
const result = await sp.web.getFolderByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/dev/Shared Documents/folder1").getShareLink(SharingLinkKind.AnonymousView);  
  
console.log(JSON.stringify(result, null, 2));  
  
  
const result2 = await sp.web.getFolderByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/dev/Shared Documents/folder1").getShareLink(SharingLinkKind.AnonymousView, dateAdd(new Date(), "day", 5));  
  
console.log(JSON.stringify(result2, null, 2));
