box api - Box.com Search API to retrieve all files in a determined folder -


i'm searching way obtain files of specific folder.

but can't find sufficient informations in official documentation

i think this: (i assume set custom header access_token)

https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=* 

this way doesn't work, , think query doen't accept regex...

any idea?


ps: real usecase understand question:

my folder:

folderone:  |  |_file1.jpg  |  |_file2.doc  |  |_folder1  | |_file3.jpg  | |_folder2  |  |_file4.pdf 

with search request expect file1.jpg, file2.doc , file4.pdf.

you can accomplish querying folder's contents , filtering client-side file items.

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/folder_id/items \ -h "authorization: bearer access_token" 

this return collection of items, can select type file.

{   "total_count": 4,   "entries": [      {         "type": "folder",         "id": "192429928",         "name": "folder1"      },      {         "type": "file",         "id": "818853862",         "name": "file1.jpg"      },      {         "type": "file",         "id": "818853843",         "name": "file2.doc"      },      {         "type": "file",         "id": "818853832",         "name": "file4.pdf"      }   ] } 

pagination

box return folder metadata before file metadata. can count these folders determine appropriate offset file-only paging. example, if box folder has 13 subfolders, , want page 25 files @ time:

/folders/folder_id/items?limit=25&offset=13 /folders/folder_id/items?limit=25&offset=38 /folders/folder_id/items?limit=25&offset=63 /folders/folder_id/items?limit=25&offset=...
