Hey there @ravindra007, thanks for checking in with us. 

Are you trying to do this via the web or a third party app?

If it's through the web, could you clarify the browser you're using and which part of the web you're having this issue with?

Let me know and we'll go from there, cheers!

Hi @Lusil Using chorme browser web application. I am getting json data whenever i call listfolder endpoint,  But i want show those content into paganation i don't want show all the folder content at time. Is there any endpoint to call limitted data from dropbox api(Ex: Endpoint with start index and limit for endpoint data).

Ah, I see, thanks for clarifying that for me.

I moved your posts here, to the Develop & API section, where other like-minded users might be able to offer more input on this. 

In the meantime, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to give us another shout. Cheers!

@ravindra007 To list the contents of a path via the Dropbox API, you should use the /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue endpoints. Those are already paginated, meaning that you may need to make multiple calls in order to retrieve all of the results. The exact page size isn't guaranteed though. You can specify the "limit" parameter on /2/files/list_folder to request an approximate maximum on the number of entries that would be returned per page. Please refer to the documentation linked above for more information.
