title: Sharepoint API for Java
body: <p>Steps that I am trying to perform the following steps through Java:</p>
  
  <p>1) Connect to a sharepoint site with a given URL.</p>
  
  <p>2) Get the list of files listed on that page</p>
  
  <p>3) Filter the files using Modified date</p>
  
  <p>4) Perform some more checks using Create Date and Modified Date</p>
  
  <p>5) And finally save that file(s) into the Unix box.</p>
  
  <p>As of now, I am able to access a particular file and read through it.
  However I need to get hold of file's metadata before reading it.
  Is there an API or a way to do all these in Java.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
