Pull a list of Shared folders and it's permissions

Hello all, 

 

I'm trying to create a Python script using the API to pull a list of all shared folders and it's permissions as this feature doesn't exist on the Admin Console.

 

I'm on a Business account. 

 

I've created the APP and generated the API key with the correct permissions, but I'm not able to list all the root/parent folders and it's members.

 

Can someone help?

 

Best

 

Gus

    Hello Здравко, thanks for your input.

     

    Initially, if I'm able to pull only the shared folders list I will be happy. Permissions/Owners/Members would be a plus.

     

    I will try to use the method you mentioned and give you a feedback.

     

    thanks

    Hello Здравко,

     

    I was able to pull the shared folders list... but I'm struggling now to pull the metadata to get the owners, as well... do you have any idea on how the script would look like?
