restore item end point

I trying to use the restore item endpoint to restore a version of the file that was trashed. I am passing the "files" endpoint along with the version id that I want to restore (see below).

https://api.box.com/2.0/files/***number removed for privacy***281

I have confirmed that the version id is correct, but I keep getting the following result...

{"type":"error","status":404,"code":"not_found","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"items","message":"Invalid value 'f_300131061281'. 'items' with value 'f_300131061281' not found"}]},"help_url":"http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors","message":"Not Found","request_id":"sb892efs0u2f71wt"}

I have tried making the request via code and also using the Box developer API portal with the same results. I have also tried using the

RestoreTrashedAsync

method of the .Net API and get the same results. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? The error invalid parameter seems to refer to the user name but that is not part of the call.

Thanks. Chris Eddy.

Unfortunately, there is not currently an API endpoint for restoring a specific file version from trash. The version ID is distinct from the file ID, which is why the current endpoint (for restoring whole files) returns a 404 error when you pass it the ID of the version.
