Yes, reindexing the directory adds (and optionally removes) files wich were/were not present when the asset feed was setup.

We have an existing directory of files which are downloadable by another service. We would like to make (and have made) that directory available as an asset feed in Proget.

It's easy enough to point Proget to the existing directory for the feed, and have it index it. This creates the metadata within your system, making the files available to those users who are valid to download them.

If I were to add files via a drop directory, it would work, but it would not necessarily add them in the structured manner we have setup in the base directory. Although TBH I haven't tried dumping a directory tree into a drop directory to see what happens. I'll try that. Thanks.

Great, thank you for the confirmation that it does not exist within the API.

This question is in reference to an asset feed which points to a local directory, which is updated externally and needs to be (infrequently) re-indexed to pick up changes. How would you suggest I do this in an automated way?

On Version 2023.16 (Build 3)

I am attempting to hit this URL of our server: https://progetserver.company.com/administration/feeds/verify-feed?feedId=15

to perform a refresh of an asset feed (equivalent to Manage Feed / Storage and Retention / Storage Properties/ Storage / Re-Index in the GUI = this url as a base - https://progetserver.company.com/feed/manage/storage?feedId=15) .

I am redirected to a login page in a browser, and get a 302 when using CURL (which isn't honored by CURL, presumably it's redirecting for credentials too). I have provided a valid api key or username:password credential headers (CURL) or URL parameters (browser).

I can't find any mention in any API of an "administration" section, nor find any reference to verify-feed. I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do isn't supported.

I have tried numerous permutations but here are two simple versions I tried:

Browser, 302 redirect to login page...

https://progetserver.company.com/administration/feeds/verify-feed?feedId=15&key=API_KEY_VALUE_HERE

and a CURL examples:

curl -d "" -X GET --header "X-ApiKey : admin:ADMIN_PASSWORD" https://progetserver.company.com/administration/feeds/verify-feed?feedId=15

Any suggestions or observations are appreciated.
