How do I fetch metadata for an Uploadcare file?

Short answer: You can get file info in Uploadcare by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Uploadcare Get File Info action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Get File Info.

What does the Get File Info action do in Uploadcare?
Returns metadata for an Uploadcare file by UUID (size, mime, image dimensions, processing status). Use to verify upload completion or to pull info for storage UI.
What inputs does Get File Info require?
Required: File UUID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Uploadcare returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Get File Info support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get File Info inside a Loop node to process arrays. TinyCommand handles Uploadcare's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
