How to retrieve quota limit of a user via SOAP?

[jacky.cheung]

Hi,

I am trying to retrieve the quota limit of a user via SOAP. I found that I can retrieve user used quota with GetInfoRequest but not the quota limit. I can also retrieve used quota and quota limit of all users via the admin SOAP API.

However, I failed to find any SOAP API to retrieve the quota limit of one user.

Can anyone give me any hints? Thanks.

info from soap-admin.txt

<GetQuotaUsageRequest [limit="..."] [offset="..."] [domain="{limit-to-domain}"]
[sortBy="{sort-by}"] [sortAscending="{sort-ascending}"]]>
</GetQuotaUsageRequest>

<GetQuotaUsageResponse more="{more-flag}" [searchTotal="{search-total}"]>
<account name="{name}" id="{id}" used="quota-used" limit="quota-limit"/>+
</GetQuotaUsageResponse>

Notes:
GetQuotaUsageRequest
limit - the number of accounts to return (0 is default and means all)
offset - the starting offset (0, 25, etc)
domain - the domain name to limit the search to
sortBy - valid values: "percentUsed", "totalUsed", "quotaLimit"
sortAscending - whether to sort in ascending order (0/1), 0 is default, so highest quotas are returned first
more-flag = true if more accounts left to return
search-total = total number of accounts that matched search (not affected by limit/offset)
used = used quota in bytes, or 0 if no quota used
limit = quota limit in bytes, or 0 if unlimited

The target server should be specified in the soap header (see soap.txt, <targetServer>).

When sorting by "quotaLimit", 0 is treated as the highest value possible.

Hi Raj,

Thanks for your information. I came across this API before. However, this API will retrieve information for all users. If requirement is to get the limit of one user. If I have a thousands of user in a deployment, it will take ages to retrieve the limit of the user. Are there any API to retrieve quota limit by username or similar? Thanks again.

<BatchRequest xmlns="urn:zimbra" onerror="continue">
<GetAccountRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin" applyCos="0">
<account xmlns="" by="id">zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz</account>
</GetAccountRequest>
<GetMailboxRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraAdmin">
<mbox xmlns="" id=""zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz""></mbox>
</GetMailboxRequest>
</BatchRequest>

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz = zimbraId of the user
check the response you should get
"zimbraMailQuota" = user quota from GetAccountResponse
"s" = used quota from GetMailboxResponse

if you developing the please get firefox + firebug and check the console for POST and that is all you ever need.
