      <title>Wildcard search</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Wildcard-search/m-p/432784#M22883</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm writing an app where I'd like to be able to search for all video/image files in a particular folder.&amp;nbsp; For example, for the root I was imagining that I'd be able to post something like this to&amp;nbsp;files/search_v2 :&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;{
   "options" : &lt;BR /&gt;   {
      "file_categories": ["video", "image"]
   }
}&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;but that fails because I haven't supplied a 'query' parameter.&amp;nbsp; If I supply this :&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;{
   "query" : "*",
   "options" : 
   {
      "file_categories": ["video", "image"]
   }
}&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;then there are no matches (presumbly because I have no files with an asterisk in the name).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is it possible to search for files (or folders) without having to specify a 'query' (in order to find all files which match the supplied 'options' criteria)?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;No, unfortunately, the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to do a wildcard search like this,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;While not ideal, as a workaround, you could list the full contents of the folder using&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] and filter based on the file extension.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Isn't this the proposed solution for getting all files that have changed since a given date? I'm unclear how we can do that without being able to supply a wildcard. Is there another recommendation for achieving that?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/continue&lt;/A&gt; endpoints do not restrict you to listing files that have changed since a certain date (nor do they offer date filters exactly). They can be used to list the full contents under any path, such as a specific folder or the root folder (identified by the empty string "').&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder/continue&lt;/A&gt; endpoint can also be used to keep track of further changes over time.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I recommend reading &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/dbx-file-access-guide" target="_self"&gt;the File Access Guide&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="https://developers.dropbox.com/detecting-changes-guide" target="_self"&gt;Detecting Changes Guide&lt;/A&gt; for more information.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
