Get Items From Folder

Retrieves a page of items in a folder. These items can be files, folders, and web links.

To request more information about the folder itself, like its size, please use the Get a folder endpoint instead.

Basic Parameters

Parameter	Description
Folder ID	The unique identifier that represent a folder.

Advanced Parameters

Parameter	Description
Box API	The URL, and optional password, for the shared link of this item. This header can be used to access items that have not been explicitly shared with a user. Use the format shared_link=[link] or if a password is required then use shared_link=[link]&shared_link_password=[password].
Direction	The direction to sort results in. This can be either in alphabetical ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
Fields	A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response.
Limit	The maximum number of items to return per page.
Offset	The offset of the item at which to begin the response.
Sort	Defines the second attribute by which items are sorted.
