Can you please try again now and let me know if you're still seeing this issue? Please start again from /2/files/search_v2 to get a new cursor though. Thanks in advance!

    Hey Greg,

    it seems to be fixed, thank you very much.

     

    In this API, is there an upper limit for acquisition per folder?

    It seems that 10000 or more cannot be retrieved files.

     

    Thanks.

      Thanks for confirming that.

      Yes, there is a limit of 10,000 search results. (I'll ask the team to clearly document this.) If you need to return many files like this, please use /2/files/list_folder[/continue] instead.
