# camera.getMetadata

Returns file metadata given its URI. The [image header](https://developers.google.com/streetview/open-spherical-camera/reference/header)
lists the Exif and XMP fields. **This command was deprecated in API level 2.**

## Parameters

- **fileUri:** URI of the target file. Manufacturers decide whether to use absolute or relative URIs. Clients may treat this as an opaque identifier.

## Results

- **metadata:** Exif (including GPS information), Photo Sphere XMP in JSON format. Does not include image or thumbnail.

## Errors

- **missingParameter:** `fileUri` is not specified.
- **invalidParameterName:** The input parameter name is unrecognized.
- **invalidParameterValue:** The input parameter is recognized, but its value is invalid; for example, the `fileUri` doesn't exist, or its data type is incorrect.
