The response will contain entries for the changes since you last called. Check out the /2/files/list_folder documentation for more information on how to process these entries.
Exactly how you write your code will depend on what exactly you need your app to do of course, but I imagine other people have implemented things like this. Perhaps others on the forum can offer some insight on their experience when doing so if they see this thread.
Endpoints to use:
- Initial sync: download to zip (then extract)
- Thereafter syncs:
- Check for changes trigger: Use a webhook
- Check for changes: Use a cursor
