http api to restore a deleted folder

Hi.

I am trying to restore a deleted folder with HTTP APIs.

It seems Dropbox WebUI provides folder restoration, preserves the IDs including all sub items.

But i can't find any in v1 or v2 HTTP API Documnet.

Where can i find folder restoration APIs? I need help or a link.

Thanks

    The API currently only offers the ability to restore specific files, and not entire folders, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this. You'll need to use /2/files/restore (or a corresponding native method in an SDK/library) to restore individual files as desired.
