As given in https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dn499819.aspx#bk_WebCollection, recyclebin is a web property which we can get using

http://<site url>/_api/web/RecycleBin.

But i am getting empty results but there are items in my recycle bin. I followed some blogs and found out that this has not been yet implemented in rest calls. But i am not sure if that is the case. Can we get recycle bin items using API given above? If yes then how as i am getting empty results in my case, or can someone verify if it's not implemented yet.

SharePoint has two recycle bins one at site level and other at site collection level. All my deleted data was going to site collection's recycle bin and i was actually looking into site's recycle bin. When i said i had data in recycle bin, it was actually the data in site's collection recycle bin. But in my rest call i was trying to get data from sites recycle bin, which actually has no data so i was getting empty response. When i changed my API to access site collection recycle bin i got the data.

REST
Method: Get
Url: http://<site url>/_api/site/RecycleBin # notice **site** instead of web to access site collection recycle bin.

This returned the expected results.

http://<sitecollection>/<site>/_api/web/lists(listid)/items(itemid)/recycle()

  • Hi Viabhav, I think this api will move the item to recycle bin as written in provided reference. But what i want is to get listing of items which are there in recycle bin. – viky.pat May 10 '17 at 06:19
  • My apologies.. I found this article on stackoverflow which resonates with your need : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25792930/is-there-a-way-to-retrieve-the-meta-for-a-deleted-item-file-folder-for-office3 – Vaibhav May 10 '17 at 11:03
