File ID
A file's ID is its unique identifier. It is a read-only property.
It's good practice to save all of a file's properties in your code when you retrieve them.
There are several endpoints that include fileId
in their response:
File ID as a parameter
There are several functions that accept a file ID, or an array of file IDs, as a parameter. The parameter is called fileId
, fileIds
, or file.id
.
In addition to the file ID, these parameters accept the file's Wix media URL. For example, wix:image://v1/0abec0_b291a9349a0b4da59067f76287e386fb~mv2.jpg/leon.jpg#originWidth=3024&originHeight=4032
.
This is useful when using other Wix APIs, such as Wix Data, that return a media file's Wix media URL, not its ID. For example, if you are retrieving a CMS collection that contains an image field, the image files' IDs aren't returned but their Wix media URLs are returned.
