Google Drive API - determine if a video file has finished processing

Question

Is there a way to programmatically determine if a video added to Google Drive has finished converting/"processing"? As far as I can see nothing changes in the files->get response before and after it has finished processing.

Answer 1

If thumbnailLink attribute exists, video file has finished processing. It's not truly the official way to see the processing status but, as a workaround you can depend on that.
