Workspace Management Create, configure, and manage workspaces within organizations. Control members, assets, shares, and AI intelligence settings.

Base URL: https://api.fast.io/current/ Auth: Bearer {jwt_token} IDs: 19-digit numeric strings

Workspaces are shared project spaces within an organization. They support file versioning, search, AI chat, and member management. Most workspace endpoints also accept the workspace's folder_name (e.g., my-project) in place of the numeric ID.

Compact Responses (output=)

Every endpoint that returns one or more workspace objects (details, list, discovery) accepts an optional output query parameter that selects the response shape. A single detail-level token may be combined with modifier tokens; specifying two detail levels (e.g. ?output=terse,standard) returns HTTP 406. When output= is omitted, responses are full and byte-for-byte unchanged.

LevelFields returned on each workspace (cumulative)
terseid, name, folder_name, org_domain, user_status
standardterse + description, workspace_level, closed, archived, locked (admin-only), storage, created, updated, logo, accent_color, intelligence, capabilities
fullstandard + cloud_import, comments, chat, search, assets, remaining branding, perm_* blocks, platform, suspended, owner_defined, parents

Use terse for workspace switchers, autocomplete, and org-scoped navigation — it carries the identifier, display name, folder slug, parent org domain, and user_status so the two-column "Joined vs. Available" workspace list can render and the join button can enable/disable without a follow-up fetch. Use standard for workspace list views and the summary area of workspace detail pages — it adds lifecycle flags (including the locked admin-only chip), storage usage, timestamps, description, the workspace's visual identity (logo, accent_color), plus the intelligence feature toggles and the plan-gate capabilities bundle so list rows can differentiate "enabled but plan-locked" from "usable." Use full (or omit the parameter) for the workspace settings screen, branding editors, and any workflow that reads permission matrices or remaining feature blocks (comments, chat, search, assets). Unknown tokens are silently ignored. Add the markdown modifier (e.g. ?output=standard,markdown) to receive the response as GitHub-flavored Markdown (Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=UTF-8) instead of JSON — see the cross-cutting ?output= reference for the full contract.

Pending Members

When a user is invited to a workspace by email but does not yet have a Fastio account, they appear as a pending member in the member list.

How pending members appear in responses:

Example Member List Entry (Pending)

{
  "id": "5566778899001122334",
  "account_type": "human",
  "email_address": "newuser@example.com",
  "first_name": "newuser@example.com",
  "last_name": "",
  "permissions": "member",
  "status": "pending",
  "invite": {
    "id": "5566778899001122334",
    "created": "2025-01-15 10:30:00 UTC",
    "expires": "2025-02-15 10:30:00 UTC"
  },
  "notify": "Notify me in app",
  "expires": null
}

Account claim: When the invited user signs up or accepts the invitation with an existing account, their status transitions from "pending" to "active".

Removal: To remove a pending member, delete their invitation using the invitation endpoints (see Workspace Invitations below). Deleting the invitation removes the pending member.

Notifications: Pending members do not receive in-app or email notifications until they claim their account.

Workspace Invitations

List Workspace Invitations

GET /current/workspace/{workspace_id}/members/invitations/list/

Returns all invitations for the workspace.

File Shares (Durable Single-File Links)

A File Share is a durable, link-shareable view of one workspace file — the successor to the deprecated QuickShare. It is durable by default (an optional expiry can be set on create/update) and has no per-link transfer cap (bandwidth is metered to the owning organization). A File Share is bound to a single file node at creation and the binding is immutable. The public read endpoints (details, download, preview, versions) are documented in the Shares and Storage references; the management endpoints below require the caller to be an authenticated member of the workspace.

Comment visibility is one-directional (workspace ⊇ File Share). Because a File Share is just a view of a workspace file, comments left by File Share recipients also surface to workspace members — read-only on the workspace file's comment thread and in workspace comment search. The reverse is never true: a File Share recipient sees only the comments made under that File Share and never the workspace's internal comments.

Create a File Share

POST /current/workspace/{workspace_id}/create/fileshare/

Create a File Share bound to a workspace file node. Auth required. Permission: Member of the workspace named in the path.

Request Body (form-encoded)

NameTypeRequiredDescription
nodestringYesOpaqueId of the file node to share (must be a file, not a folder or note)
titlestringNoDisplay title (max 255 chars)
access_optionstringNoanyone_with_link, any_registered, or named_people (default: named_people)
passwordstringNoOptional link password (1-255 chars). Body-only — never accepted from the query string.
expiresintegerNoOptional expiry, RELATIVE: seconds from now (> 0). Mutually exclusive with expires_at. Omitted = durable (never expires).
expires_atstringNoOptional expiry, ABSOLUTE: a future datetime; a value without a timezone is interpreted as UTC. Mutually exclusive with expires. An expired File Share stops serving immediately (404) and is reaped automatically by the hourly cleanup (grants cascaded, file_share_deleted fires); the bound file is never touched.

List File Shares in Workspace

GET /current/workspace/{workspace_id}/list/fileshares/

Lists the workspace's File Shares (offset pagination). Scoped strictly to File Shares — never mixes with the Share list. Auth required. Permission: Member.

Each item additionally carries grant_count (the number of live named-people grants on the File Share — revoked / expired grants excluded) and grants_preview (the first few grants, in the same shape as the grants list endpoint, for rendering an avatar stack without a second call). Both are best-effort: if the grant read faults for an item, the two fields are omitted for that item (the rest of the list still returns). The full access list is the GET .../grants/ endpoint below.

Update a File Share

POST /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/update/
PATCH /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/update/

Update a File Share's mutable settings. The bound file node is immutable here (a rebind is a new File Share); only title, access_option, password, and the expiry change. Auth required. Permission: Member of the File Share's parent workspace.

Request Body (form-encoded)

NameTypeDescription
titlestringNew title (max 255). Send empty / null to clear.
access_optionstringanyone_with_link, any_registered, or named_people
passwordstringNew link password (max 255). Body-only. Send empty to clear.
expiresintegerNew expiry, RELATIVE: seconds from now (> 0). Mutually exclusive with expires_at.
expires_atstringNew expiry, ABSOLUTE: a future datetime (no timezone = UTC). Send null to clear the expiry (durable again). Mutually exclusive with expires.

Returns the updated File Share in the same shape as create.

Delete a File Share

DELETE /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/delete/

Delete a File Share. Revokes the link and cascades its grants. Auth required. Permission: Member of the File Share's parent workspace. Response: {"result": true}.

List / Manage Per-User Grants

GET /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/grants/
POST /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/grants/
DELETE /current/fileshare/{fileshare_id}/grants/

List or manage the named-people access list. GET lists the File Share's live grants; POST grants or raises a user's capability; DELETE revokes (idempotent). A grant raises an individual user's capability regardless of tier; the named_people tier consults this list directly. Auth required. Permission: Member of the File Share's parent workspace (all three methods).

List (GET) Response (200 OK)

Returns the File Share's live named-people grants — revoked and expired grants are excluded. There are no pagination parameters (the access list is small; the first 1000 grants are returned).

namestring | nullDisplay name. null when unknown (a pending invitee, or no name set).
emailstring | nullThe grantee's email address (the real invitation email for a pending invitee). null in the rare case a claimed account has no email on record.
capabilitystringview, download, or edit.
statestringactive (a real, claimed user) or pending (an invited address not yet claimed).
createdstringWhen the grant was created (Y-m-d H:i:s UTC).
expiresstring | nullFor an active grant, the grant's own expiry; for a pending invitee, the invitation's expiry. null when it does not expire.

Grant / Revoke (POST / DELETE) Request Body (form-encoded)

Supply exactly one of user or email (supplying both, or neither, is rejected as invalid input — 1605, HTTP 406).

NameTypeRequiredDescription
userstringOne of user/email19-digit user profile ID of the grantee (an existing account)
emailstringOne of user/emailEmail address of the grantee — lets you grant a person who may not have an account yet
capabilitystringYes for POSTview, download, or edit

A view grant can open the link and preview; download can also download the bytes (and historical versions); edit can additionally replace the file's content via an upload session (see the Upload reference). Re-granting the same capability, or revoking a non-existent grant, is a silent no-op. Response (POST by user, or DELETE): {"result": true}.

Granting by Email

Revoking by Email (DELETE)

Revokes an active grant for that address, and/or cancels a still-pending invitation for it. Cancelling a pending invitation confers nothing, so it does not emit an access-revoked event. A DELETE that matches neither is an idempotent success.

Response (POST by registered email): { "result": true, "user": { "id": "9876543210987654321" } }

Response (POST by unregistered email — invitation created). The pending grant is returned in the same shape as a grants-list row (user is null for an unclaimed invitee; the internal invitation/account id is never exposed):

{
  "result": true,
  "grant": {
    "user": null,

Provision Provider Identity

POST /current/imports/workspace/{workspace_id}/identities/provision/

Creates a service account, or starts a browser OAuth connection, for the specified cloud provider — then returns immediately either way. The four providers split into two families, and which family you are in decides what happens next.

Google Drive and Box — provisioned in the background. The endpoint returns immediately with status: "provisioning". Poll the identity detail or list endpoint until status is "active" (success) or "error" (failure). The identity_email field is "provisioning-pending" while provisioning is in progress, and the instructions returned at provision time say so rather than naming an address that does not exist yet. Re-fetch the identity after it activates to get the real identity_email; the sharing instruction text is a provision-time field and is not repeated on the identity response. When you share the remote folder with that address, grant a level that can WRITE if the source will be read_write — for Box that is Editor, not Viewer. Nothing verifies the granted level at connect time: the provider is the only thing that ever checks it, and it does so at transfer time, so a read-only grant connects, activates and syncs normally and then fails the source's first write-back permanently.

Dropbox and OneDrive for Business — connected by the user, in a browser. Nothing is provisioned in the background for these. The response carries status: "provisioning" plus an authorize_url, and the identity becomes "active" only once the user completes the consent screen and your app posts the result back — see Complete a Browser OAuth Connect below. There is no address to share a folder with, because the connected account IS the access: identity_email holds a placeholder (dropbox-oauth-pending / onedrive-oauth-pending) until the connect finishes, and is then the real account address. Each user connects their own account, so one workspace can hold several independent connections to the same provider.

An identity in error or revoked state can be re-provisioned. A provisioning OAuth identity is returned as-is, without a fresh authorize_url, while its consent could still be live — so a user who abandoned the browser tab cannot immediately retry. That row is reclaimable: provision it again after about 30 minutes and a new authorize_url is issued, or revoke it and provision to recover sooner.

Auth: JWT required. The identity is owned by the caller, and the floor depends on the provider: OneDrive for Business requires Member, because the resulting delegated grant is only ever useful for creating a source, which itself requires Member. Google Drive, Box and Dropbox accept any workspace member with view access.

Request Body (form-encoded)

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
providerstringYesgoogle_drive, box, onedrive_business, or dropbox. Which of these a workspace may actually connect is plan-dependent, and not every provider is offered on every plan — read the workspace's providers endpoint rather than assuming all four

Complete a Browser OAuth Connect

POST /current/imports/oauth/{provider}/complete/

Finishes a connection started by provision. {provider} is dropbox or onedrive. Google Drive and Box never use this endpoint.

After the user consents, the provider redirects the browser to a route on the app origin — https://go.{host}/imports/oauth/{provider}/callback — which is a front-end route, not an API one. That route reads code and state out of its own URL and posts them here, on the signed-in user's session. Both providers work exactly this way; there is deliberately no public callback endpoint for either, and the previous Dropbox one (GET /current/imports/oauth/dropbox/callback/) has been removed.

The session is what binds the flow to a person. A state token identifies the connection, not the human holding it, so an authorize_url that gets forwarded to a colleague would otherwise attach their cloud account to your identity — whose owner could then read, and on a read_write source write, their files. Requiring the completion to arrive on the originating user's session closes that: anyone else gets 1680 (Access Denied).

Post the decline, too. When the user refuses consent the provider sends back an error instead of a code; post { "state": …, "error": … } so the identity is marked. Without it the identity sits provisioning with nothing coming to finish it.

Authentication is checked before the state is consumed, so a session that lapsed during a slow consent returns 401 with both the state and the code still redeemable — refresh the session and post the same pair once more. State tokens are single-use and short-lived (about ten minutes, matched to the provider's own code lifetime); a replayed, expired, tampered or unknown one is rejected.

Auth: JWT required. The caller must BE the user who started the connection.

Request Body (JSON)

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
statestringYesThe state value the provider handed back
codestringConditionalThe authorization code. Required unless error is sent
errorstringConditionalThe provider's error value when the user declined. Required unless code is sent

Response (200 OK)

  },
  "connected": true,
  "connect_error_code": null
}

connected and connect_error_code report the outcome directly, so the result does not have to be discovered by polling the identity afterwards.

connect_error_codeMeaning
nullConnected; identity is active
declinedThe user refused consent
exchange_failedThe provider would not exchange the code
credential_store_failedThe credential could not be stored
activation_failedThe identity could not be activated
insufficient_scopeOneDrive only — consent omitted a permission the importer cannot work without. The response also carries an admin_consent_url a tenant administrator can open

Request faults — a bad state, the wrong caller, an unknown identity — are ordinary 4xx errors, not a connect_error_code.

A completion that arrives for an identity already active is treated as success and returns the identity rather than an error — a double-posted callback is safe.


Revoke Provider Identity

POST /current/imports/workspace/{workspace_id}/identities/{identity_id}/revoke/

Begins revocation of a provider identity. The provider-side deletion happens in the background; the endpoint returns immediately with status: "revoking". Poll the identity detail or list endpoint until status is "revoked". If a revocation is already in progress for this identity, the endpoint returns an error.

List Identity Drives

GET /current/imports/workspace/{workspace_id}/identities/{identity_id}/drives/

Lists the document libraries this identity can reach — the connected user's own OneDrive, plus the SharePoint libraries their account has access to. OneDrive for Business only — every other provider returns an error, because no other provider makes the caller choose a drive.

A OneDrive for Business identity is one connected Microsoft work or school account, and that account can usually reach several libraries with no meaningful default among them. Which library an import uses is therefore a per-source choice, made from this catalog and fixed when the source is created.

This endpoint answers from stored rows and never contacts the provider. To rebuild the catalog, call the refresh endpoint below.

Auth: JWT required. The identity owner only — for OneDrive there is no workspace-admin override, because this catalog enumerates one person's own Microsoft content. Admins keep every removal power (revoke the identity, disconnect or delete a source); what they cannot do is browse it. The other three providers' catalogs are a workspace-level service account or a shared folder, so those stay owner-or-admin.

  "pagination": { "limit": 50, "offset": 0, "total": 1 }
}

site_name is worth rendering: nearly every SharePoint site has a library called “Documents”, so the library name alone is often ambiguous.

Branch on drives_state, not on the length of drives. An empty catalog is the NORMAL state on a first connection — nothing is enumerated until a refresh is asked for — so drives: [] on its own cannot say whether nobody has looked yet, an enumeration is running, access was refused, or the account genuinely reaches no libraries.

drives_stateMeaningWhat the caller does
never_refreshedNobody has enumerated this identity yetCall the refresh endpoint
refreshingAn enumeration is queued or runningPoll until it changes
readyThe catalog holds at least one libraryLet the user pick one
emptyThe enumeration completed and found no librariesThe connected account reaches none; check the account, or name a site
requires_site_pathThe enumeration could not prove it saw everything reachable, and found nothing to offerRefresh again with site_path
permission_deniedSomething the enumeration NAMED was refusedA site path will not fix this; the account needs access, or reconnect with fuller consent
failedThe enumeration itself failed (provider outage, token error)Retry; drives_error carries the detail

requires_site_path is not a permission error. There is no Microsoft API that lists every site a signed-in user can reach — only a search that is permission-trimmed and not guaranteed exhaustive. The state means “we cannot prove this list is complete, and it is empty; name a site and we will look there”. It is raised only when nothing was refused, so it is genuinely distinct from permission_denied, which is always a refusal of something specific and is not fixed by supplying a path. A scoped refresh never produces it.

requires_site_path is a convenience alias of drives_state === "requires_site_path".

A partial consent is not an error. If the user grants access to their files but withholds the SharePoint permission, the connection succeeds and the identity becomes active — the catalog simply covers their own OneDrive and no site libraries. Treat that as a working connection with a smaller catalog, not a failed one.

drives_error is normally null on success, with ONE exception: a ready catalog that was cut off at an internal ceiling carries a truncation note. Those libraries are real and selectable — the list is merely incomplete — so show it as a warning beside a usable list rather than as a failure.

Note that ready and empty are derived from the rows returned in the same response, so the state and the list can never disagree. The other five describe how the last enumeration ENDED and are reported as recorded.

Refresh Identity Drives

POST /current/imports/workspace/{workspace_id}/identities/{identity_id}/drives/refresh/

Re-enumerates the drive catalog from the provider. OneDrive for Business only.

Asynchronous, and it returns no job id. The response comes back immediately with drives_state: "refreshing"; poll GET .../drives/ until the state leaves refreshing. The state is recorded before the work is queued, so a client that reloads mid-refresh still sees refreshing on a cold read.

One refresh at a time per identity: a second call while one is genuinely in flight is rejected. That block expires on its own, so an interrupted refresh cannot lock the catalog permanently.

A refresh scoped with site_path replaces only the libraries belonging to that site and leaves the rest of the catalog alone, so an account whose sites have to be named one at a time can build its catalog across several calls. An unscoped refresh looks at the connected account's own OneDrive first, then the SharePoint sites it can find; it replaces only what it actually covered, so a run that found no sites does not delete the site libraries an earlier scoped refresh recorded.

An enumeration that fails part-way — a provider outage rather than a denial — leaves the previous catalog in place rather than replacing it with a partial one.

Auth: JWT required. The identity owner only — same rule as the list endpoint above, and for the same reason.

Selecting a Drive on a Source

drive_id is required when creating or discovering against a OneDrive for Business identity, and is not accepted for any other provider.

Pass drive_id exactly as the drives endpoint returned it — it is an opaque provider string, not a Fastio id, and must not be reformatted or validated client-side.

Who may do this. Creating a source is restricted to the identity owner for every provider, with no workspace-admin override: only the person whose cloud account is connected may graft its folders into a workspace, and they must hold Member on that workspace. For OneDrive for Business, discovery is owner-only as well — it browses that person's own Microsoft content. Admins are refused here on purpose, and keep every removal power: revoking an identity, and disconnecting or deleting a source, remain owner-or-admin.

Browsing Below the Provider Root

POST .../sources/discover/ accepts an optional remote_path: the remote folder to enumerate. Omit it — or send an empty string, or null — to enumerate the provider root, which is the historical behaviour and stays the default.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
remote_pathstringNoRemote folder to enumerate, e.g. /Clients/Northwind. Omit for the provider root. Maximum 2048 characters

Discovery returns folders only, one level down. It does not walk the tree: a client expands a level at a time, passing the folder it wants to open back as remote_path on the next call. The response shape, the job id, and the polling endpoint are unchanged.

Two paths are two different questions, and they do not collide. A discovery already in flight blocks only another discovery of the same workspace, provider, drive and path — so /Clients and /Clients/Northwind can be browsed at the same time, while asking the same question twice is still deduplicated into the first.

Only the length is checked when the call is accepted. A path the provider cannot resolve is reported by the discovery job, not by this endpoint: the call returns 200 with a job id, and that job finishes failed with the reason in its error_message. Check the job, not just the HTTP status.

remote_path is also an input on POST .../sources/create/, where it names the remote folder the source imports. On discover it names the folder to browse; the two are separate calls and neither implies the other.

Choosing Where an Import Lands

POST .../sources/create/ accepts an optional destination_node_id: the workspace storage folder the source's imported folder is created under. Omit it — or send an empty string, or null — and the import lands in the Imports system folder at the storage root, which is the historical placement and unchanged for every existing caller. A client that always sends the key can therefore leave it null here — but not on the update endpoint below, which rejects the key whatever its value.

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
destination_node_idstringNoStorage node id of an existing folder in this workspace. Omit for the Imports system folder

Pass the node id exactly as a storage endpoint returned it; the formatted (dashed) form is accepted.

Reading the destination back. Every source object — from create, list, and details alike — carries two top-level fields, alongside drive_id. Both are also present inside properties.

FieldTypeMeaning
destination_node_idstring | nullThe folder the caller chose at create. Null means the default Imports folder
destination_fallback_atstring | nullUTC Y-m-d H:i:s. Set when the chosen folder could not be used at graft time and the import landed in Imports instead. Null means no fallback happened

Read them as a pair. destination_node_id on its own is the folder the user asked for, and it reads as a successful placement — which is exactly the wrong conclusion when the import actually fell back. A non-null destination_fallback_at beside it means "you asked for that folder, you got the default, at this time". A client that renders only the first will tell the user their choice was honoured when it was not.

destination_fallback_at describes placement at graft time, not current location. The imported folder is freely movable afterwards, so treat it as a record of what happened when the import landed, not as a live assertion about where it is now. It is written once and never cleared.

A destination that does not resolve is deliberately indistinguishable from one that is not yours. A malformed id, a node that does not exist, a trashed node, and a node in another workspace all answer with the same message, the same code and the same reason — "The chosen destination folder was not found in this workspace" — so the endpoint cannot be used to probe which node ids exist elsewhere. Only "the node is a file, not a folder" answers differently, and that branch is reachable only for a node the caller can already list.

Error CodeHTTP StatusReasonCause
1605 (Invalid Input)400destination_unknownThe id is malformed, or names a node that is missing, trashed, or in another workspace
1605 (Invalid Input)400destination_unknownThe node is a file, not a folder ("The chosen destination must be a folder, not a file")
1605 (Invalid Input)400destination_unknownThe value is not a string (an array or object was sent)
1605 (Invalid Input)400destination_nestedThe folder is itself part of an import ("That folder is already part of an import. Choose a folder outside it.")
1605 (Invalid Input)400destination_immutabledestination_node_id sent to the update endpoint
1610 (Internal Error)500(none)The nesting check could not complete ("Could not verify the chosen destination; please try again"). Undetermined, not nested — retry

Every 1605 rejection above is field-scoped: the response carries a detail naming destination_node_id, with kind: "invalid", the human message, a support code, and the stable reason. Branch on reason, never on the message text. The 1610 case is the one exception — it is a plain error with no field detail and no reason, because it reports that the destination could not be evaluated, not that it was bad. For that branch alone the numeric code 138825 is the discriminator, and it is contract-stable — it will not be merged into another call site. Treat it as retry the same request, never as pick a different folder.
