Re: Retrieve with a File limit and File count
I'm looking for a way to get the count of entries from this python api call:
e=dbx.files_list_folder('/myfolder').entries
None of the following work:
>>> print(e.count)
<built-in method count o...
The ListFolderResult.entries returned by files_list_folder is a 'list' so you can use Python's 'len' function to get its length, like this:
print(len(dbx.files_list_folder('/myfolder').entries))Please note though that you're not guaranteed to get all of the files/folders in a particular folder back in a single call to files_list_folder. If ListFolderResult.has_more is 'true' you need to call back to files_list_folder_continue for more entries. Check out the files_list_folder documentation for more information.
