Get list of all file changes

[michael34254]

When I used the list_folder/continue API, I noticed that it returns the file changes for only that particular folder whose cursor has been used. If I want the changes that have been made in a different folder, I have to get the cursor of that folder and make an API call again.  Unlike getting list of changes of a particular folder, is there a way through which I can get a list of changes for all the folders through one API call.

Hi @michael34254,

Have you used the "recursive" parameter in initial request (before /2/files/list_folder/continue)? "continue" will just follows the "rules" set in initial call ("/2/files/list_folder" or "/2/files/list_folder/get_latest_cursor").

Hope this helps.

As Здравко mentioned, /2/files/list_folder/continue will behave according to the parameters used on the initial call to /2/files/list_folder for the used cursor.

It's not possible to change the parameters on an existing cursor. 

If you want to receive nested entries, you'll need to set 'recursive:true' on the initial /2/files/list_folder call. Likewise, if you want to get entries/changes for all files/folders under the root, as opposed to just a specific folder, you'll need to set the 'path' parameter on the initial /2/files/list_folder call to the empty string "".

Thank's Greg, to you and Здравко. Totally ignored recursive for the initial request. Work's fine now.
