Google drive api Files: get doesn't list full metadata - google-drive-api

Question

I tried using the example get method on the google drive api documentation, however what is returned is not the full metadata of the file, only this:
"kind": "drive#file",
"id": "1vbLiXALYOYoVev1KD_ajVBfh5_CgvGgP",
"name": "3.png",
"mimeType": "image/png",
"result": {
"kind": "drive#file",
"id": "1vbLiXALYOYoVev1KD_ajVBfh5_CgvGgP",
"name": "3.png",
"mimeType": "image/png"
}
}
What should appear is something with many more fields:
{
"kind": "drive#file",
"id": "1vbLiXALYOYoVev1KD_ajVBfh5_CgvGgP",
"etag": "\"MTU4Njg3NTU3MjUxOQ\"",
"selfLink": "",
"webContentLink": "",
"alternateLink": "",
"embedLink": "",
"iconLink": "",
"thumbnailLink": "",
"title": "3.png"
// ... and so on
I get the full response when I use the "try api" screen on the api docs, but not when calling it from javascript:
function printFile(fileId) {
appendPre(fileId)
var request = gapi.client.drive.files.get({
'fileId': fileId
});
request.execute(function(resp) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(resp, null, 2))
});
}
I used the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file scope, which is listed as a scope sufficient for the request to be completed. Help!

How about this modification?
At Drive API V3, when fields property is not used, a part of fields is returned. So in your case, for example, you can retrieve other parameters using fields: "*". When your script is modified, please modify as follows.
From:
var request = gapi.client.drive.files.get({
'fileId': fileId
});
To:
var request = gapi.client.drive.files.get({
'fileId': fileId,
'fields': "*" // Added
});
