How to get chatter file link?

Hi All,

 

I have a requirement where i need to get the link of the file shared/attached in chatter feed.

FeedItem does not have information related to this. FeedItem has RelatedRecordId which is a ID of a ContentVersion. But i could not able to get the link for that file. can someone please guide me or share the code how to get the link to that file. since i need to use that link in some custom object where the user should be able to go to that file on click on the link.

 

Thanks in advance

'ContentDocumentId' in the ContentVersion Object is the Id of the file.
If you want to share some files, the Id of ContentVersion is enough. Since the Content of Files is saved in the ContentVersion.

do you select contentUrl from contentVersion for the chatter file  'share via link'? I'm trying to get the URL for 'share via link'.

 

thanks.
