Is there any way that I can find all subdirectories for one link? Should I get the permission? For example, in the lecture instructor opened the solutions by entering some keywords after www.site.com/keyword. Now I cannot remember the word, whatever I try, I cannot find, but I know there is a file. That's why I want to see the files, other pages for the link.
The only way to find out what resources are available on an HTTP server is to request a resource that tells you. There isn't anything particularly standard about web servers that will provide that, so you'll need to do something specific to the webserver you want the details from.
Note that not all servers will provide something like this.
The closest thing to a standard is that most servers, for a URL that maps on to a directory on their file system, if there isn't an index file in that directory, will generate an HTML document containing a list of links to the resources in that directory.

I have a publicly shared OneDrive folder with some various sub-folders and files. I.e. I have shared it via a link, so anyone with this link can access them.
Is there a way I can access these files from either client-side JavaScript or some server-side code via a REST API of some sort? Without having to use any sort of user-specific credentials?
What I've been trying
I've been looking at the Accessing Shared Content page, and it looks like what I want, but can't figure out how to use it.
I've taken something that looks like an id from the shared URL, which looks to be a long hexadecimal number (which seems to be an id pointing at me?), an !, and then a number (which I assume has to do with the shared resource).
I've then tried to stick it in this URL:
https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/<id>/root?expand=children
But I get back a 400 Bad Request, so something isn't quite right...
I'm thinking maybe some sort of authentication is missing, but since the shared files are public, I don't users to have to login with their credentials, and can't of course use my own in code.
I've tried to register an app, where I get an application id (guid) and can generate Passwords and Key-Pairs. Was hoping maybe I could use that, but don't see in the API how and where to actually use those...
Goal
The shared folder contains sheet music for a choir, that I'm responsible for keeping updated (and OneDrive syncing is super handy here).
Some members aren't very computer savvy, so I'd like to make seeing and downloading these files as easy as possible. The shared link with a "go here to this other strange site and find the files there"-text sort of works, but I would much rather like to list the files directly in a member-only area of our website. Basically just "here are the files, click on one to download it".
Yes, you can use the REST API to access the contents of a folder.
The API is the one you mentioned, the shares API. However, it sounds like you are perhaps using the wrong ID.
The most straightforward way to do this is to follow the instructions to encode the actual sharing URL into a token. This way you create a base64 encoded version of the sharing link, append a "u!" to the front of that string, and then make the exact call you already mentioned. You'll get back a list of the files in the shared folder and you can go from there.
Here's an example of this:
Here's a sharing link to a folder in OneDrive with some photos in it.
https://1drv.ms/f/s!AtuAM_NacwVahiFpuMGS_BiQCwWu
To convert this URL into the API, you first base64 encode the URL and append u!
u!aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL2YvcyFBdHVBTV9OYWN3VmFoaUZwdU1HU19CaVFDd1d1
Now you can use this URL as the sharing token, and expand children and thumbnails:
https://api.onedrive.com/v1.0/shares/u!aHR0cHM6Ly8xZHJ2Lm1zL2YvcyFBdHVBTV9OYWN3VmFoaUZwdU1HU19CaVFDd1d1/root?expand=children
Clicking on this bottom link should give you the JSON response, which includes the shared folder and the children inside the folder.
I use rmarkdown to create html pages. I would like to know how to publish, simply and efficiently, html pages.
Solutions that I know exist:
Web hosting: you can purchase a specific domain and host you your files. I have built some wordpress sites with this, but I don't know basics about web security, it is necessary to have a ftp transfer software.
With google drive, you can host html pages. It is quite simple, you can find the id the the shared document, and enter: googledrive.com/host/DocumentID. But you can not customise the domain name, and this url is redirected to a very complicated name.
It seems that github offers a lot of possilities. I think that some of you have already had the same problem and found the solution. So could you please share ? Thank you
you can host your html easily just check out this or this
Lets say I have a web URL to a file on a cloud storage (like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc). How do I convert that to the corresponding file path on my pc? On Android? On iOS?
Assuming of course I have the utilities/apps installed locally.
EDIT: I interested in file name the reverse direction too. (I.e. when I have the local file path, what is the web path?)
EDIT 2: #Greg just made me realize that the problem with file name is much worse on Google Drive than on Dropbox.
And that is very bad. :-(
The reason? Google has good search capabilities on Drive and therefor I and many, many others have put their documents on Drive. However, once I found it I must locate it on my on computer/device. (If I want to edit a pdf for example.)
EDIT 3: #Dan McGrath kindly asked what parts remain unsolved.
Short answer: All. ;-)
Long answer: My actual use case, see below.
My actual use case is a Zotero web app. Zotero is a reference database where you store references to scientific articles, web pages, etc. The items stored in Zotero may include PDF files or - which I prefer - links to PDF files.
I just want to be able to easy access (read) this PDF files from any computer through the web app. And on my own computer I want to be able to edit the files with my local PDF editor. (Be it Android, Windows or whatever.)
By using a cloud storage I do not have to download/upload the files myself. The cloud storage takes care of that part.
For the "reverse" scenario, that is, you have a file and you want the Dropbox shared link, you can use this API endpoint, assuming you're connected to the account via the API:

I am making a chrome extension which needs to add/delete/modify file in any location in our hard drive. The location can be temporary folder. How is it possible to make it. Please give comments and helpful links which can lead to me have this work done.
You can not, but adding a local server (nodejs/deno/cs-script/go/python/lua/..) to have a fixed logic (security) to do file stuff and providing a http server to answer back in an ajax/jsonp request would work.
The extension will not be able to install the software part.
edit: if you want to get started using nodejs, this could help
edit2: With File and Directory Entries API (this could help) you can get hold of a FILE OR complete FOLDER (getDirectory(), showDirectoryPicker()).
Thankfully, this is impossible.
Google or any other company wouldn't have many friend if their extension(s') installation caused compromise including complete control over any files(ie. control over machine) on your hard drive. The extension can save information to disk in a location that is available for storing local information as mentioned. You will not have any execute permission on the root or anywhere nor will you have any read or write permission outside of the storage location.
However, extensions can still be malicious if they gather information from a user of a web page (I am sure that Google can filter some suspicious extensions).
If you really need to make changes on your hard drive you can store information on a server and poll for changes with a windows client application or perhaps you can find where the storage information is kept and access it from there from a windows app.
I am trying to add extra buttons for my wiki editor page and I came across to this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MarkS/Extra_edit_buttons#Simple_Install
In the simple install section, I need to add extra code in monobook.js.
However, I cannot find monobook.js in my wiki folder. Can anyone give me some direction?
The "simple install" you linked to is for Wikipedia users who want to enable the gadget from their personal script file.
The correct topic would be #Installing XEB on your own Wiki, however I don't fully agree with that (importScript is deprecated, for example). Your alternatives are:
let your users just import the script from //en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript. That's a possible XSS risk, but imported userscripts always are. Bonus: The will always get the latest version.
copy the script, the css and the images to your domain - which means you are in charge to maintain them. You could locate them anywhere in your server's file system, on a wiki page in the MediaWiki: namespace (only admins can edit) or on a user subpage that ends in .js (only that user and admins can edit). The last one was recommended in the help file, but I suggest not to use User:MarkS for that. Ensure nobody whom you don't trust could log into that account.
Then promote that location to your users, so they can import the script from there.
Even better: Install the Gadgets extension and migrate the script to a gadget, which users can easily enable in the settings.
Notice the script is deprecated and might not work with current MediaWiki versions. It depends heavily on script loading order, which needs some hacks to integrate well with the ResourceLoader.
See also Manual:Interface/JavaScript; there are similar customisations at Manual:User group CSS and Javascript and Manual:Page customizations.
The page you linked to talks about a user's monobook.js, which is a page called User:UserName/monobook.js.
If you want to do the same for all users on your wiki, you can use the site-wide monbook.js, which is not a file, but a page called MediaWiki:monobook.js.
Keep in mind that those scripts only apply if you're using the Monobook skin. If you want to have some script for all skins, use User:UserName/common.js or MediaWiki:common.js.
