API: get list of files in the folder recursively

Is there an API call I can use to get list of all files and folders in a specific folder? I see there is a "search" call but it requires a "query" parameter and does not accept "*".

Hi ,

You'll want the List items in folder endpoint, that should give you the information that you're looking for.

It shows files/folders in *current* directory only. I need a recursive list.

The code below works for me. Here's my folder/file structure:

Folder1
* file1.1
* file1.2
Folder2
* file2.1
* file2.2
file1
file2

import os
import boxsdk

auth = boxsdk.OAuth2(
    client_id=config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
    client_secret='',
    access_token=access_token
)

client = boxsdk.Client(auth)

def get_recursive(dir_list):
    for item in dir_list[-1].get_items():
        file_info = item.get()
        if file_info.type == "folder":
            dir_list.append(item)
            yield from get_recursive(dir_list)
        else:
            yield "/".join([x.get().name for x in dir_list]) + "/" + item.get().name
    dir_list.pop()

print(os.linesep.join(list(get_recursive([client.folder('0')]))))

Which for my structure prints:

All Files/Folder1/file1.1
All Files/Folder1/file1.2
All Files/Folder2/file2.1
All Files/Folder2/file2.2
All Files/file1
All Files/file2

Hi I am new to box apis. Just one question to @Jason Friedman does it work for very large numbers of folders?

Yes ... but, the token times out after 60 minutes. You will need to add to my code try/except blocks to identify that situation and get a new token.

Indeed that is probably true. I no longer have my test setup but I believe something like this would likely fix the bug you have identified:

import os
import boxsdk

auth = boxsdk.OAuth2(
    client_id=config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
    client_secret='',
    access_token=access_token
)

client = boxsdk.Client(auth)

def get_recursive(dir_list):
    for item in dir_list[-1].get_items():
        file_info = item.get()
        yield "/".join([x.get().name for x in dir_list]) + "/" + item.get().name
        if file_info.type == "folder":
            dir_list.append(item)
            yield from get_recursive(dir_list)
    dir_list.pop()

print(os.linesep.join(list(get_recursive([client.folder('0')]))))
