Hi Support Team,

We are using box.com APIs to download a file for this we are using https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/folder_id/items/ by passing folder id. Now this API returns 1000 files. Since we are having more than 1000 file we can search exact filename. Is there any API that we can search API with in the folder name?

Thank You

  Jeff,

  Have you had a chance to look at the Search endpoints in the REST API?  It looks like you may be able to tune it to look in a specific folder using the ancestor_folder_ids arg in the request.  If you know you are looking for specific item types you can also restrict results using type arg.  Also, if you know you only want to search by file name, a further refinement in the request can be to set content_type=name.
