I seem to be struggling to retrieve all the subfolders of a root folder by parentid of root, i only get returned a few results. how should the pagination be set? if needed. thx

base_url = “https://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v2/folders”
i have 600+ folders to retrieve from the parent folder.

Hey @karien :waving_hand: What happens when you use the V3 endpoint?

I set up a quick test:

  • I have a folder
  • I added 20 sub folders (but not 600 :blush:)

Request

curl --request GET \
 --url 'https://api.hubapi.com/files/v3/folders/search?parentFolderId=92105487368' \
 --header 'authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
