List items in 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.
Request
Path Parameters
0The unique identifier that represent a folder.
The ID for any folder can be determined
by visiting this folder in the web application
and copying the ID from the URL. For example,
for the URL https://*.app.box.com/folder/123
the folder_id is 123.
The root folder of a Box account is
always represented by the ID 0.
Query Parameters
ASCThe direction to sort results in. This can be either in alphabetical ascending
(ASC) or descending (DESC) order.
Value is one of ASC,DESC
id,type,nameA 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.
Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.
10001000The maximum number of items to return per page.
JV9IRGZmieiBasejOG9yDCRNgd2ymoZIbjsxbJMjIs3kioViiDefines the position marker at which to begin returning results. This is used when paginating using marker-based pagination.
This requires usemarker to be set to true.
10000The offset of the item at which to begin the response.
idDefines the second attribute by which items are sorted.
Items are always sorted by their type first, with
folders listed before files, and files listed
before web links.
This parameter is not supported for marker-based pagination
on the root folder (the folder with an ID of 0).
Value is one of id,name,date,size
trueSpecifies whether to use marker-based pagination instead of offset-based pagination. Only one pagination method can be used at a time.
By setting this value to true, the API will return a marker field
that can be passed as a parameter to this endpoint to get the next
page of the response.
Response
Returns a collection of files, folders, and web links contained in a folder.
Returned when the access token provided in the Authorization header
is not recognized or not provided.
Returned if the folder is not found, or the user does not have access to the folder.
Returned if the folder_id is not in a recognized format.
An unexpected client error.
