Why are there no methods for bulk fetching file info from a root folder that drilldown into subfolders? This can be implemented but degrades performance when multiple calls need to be made.

 

Also why is there no method to fetch multiple file infos by providing a list of file ids? Same as above, it would be very beneficial to have these methods on the API.

  You didn't provide a ton of details, but you can probably use the Search API to do that.

  Can you explain how would I search by fileId. So the use-case is: I have a list of fileIds that I got from the event stream and I want to fetch the file info by using this list of fileIds. 
  I tried using the search API, searching by keyword doesn't seem to be possible, since that is reserved for name, description, tag. I tried searching by metadata(mdfilters), by specifying the metadata filter request, which after running for a bit returns: 

  "The API returned an error [InternalServerError | rrn0rrg37yh3087i.0m472jbfivqald4h2t6uv0qc3qd] path_missing - An internal server error occurred."

   

  It doesn't seem obvious what I did wrong from the response. Could you give me some insight as to how this could be done?
