Hello, I have been trying to extract Longitude, Latitude and Altitude from photos I have stored in a SharePoint library. I have been using the flow found here at github;

Office365Master/RenderListDataAsStream_MediaServicesMetadata: Surfaces Media Services Metadata autogenerated for SharePoint Library repositories (attached)

Which I got working but I want it to either run when a new file is created or on a schedule. the issue is I don't know how then to get the metadata from the file rather than the whole list. I tried get file properties, but I got a file not found error

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this without using 3rd part connectors?

Power Automate is'n the right tool to extract exif data from a photo.

Simply use an existing API, e.g., from https://rapidapi.com/search?term=exif&sortBy=ByRelevance
or create your own, e.g., with this: https://github.com/ianare/exif-py

However, I received data from a SharePoint API request like this:

https://<your-domain>.sharepoint.com/sites/<your_site>/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('Documents')/Items(183)/Properties

where 183 is the item ID from the Sharepoint list item.

In a flow this could look like this:

And each "Send an HTTP request" returns something like this:

Just an Update, just creating text columns with an internal name of

wic_System_GPS_Latitude

wic_System_GPS_Longitude

wic_System_GPS_Altitude

in the library seemed to automatically pull the data, no flow required

Very weird, but I'll take it.

Thanks for all the help and advice.

Cheers
