Clio API v4; Endpoint for getting list of documents within one folder

Question

Problem: Getting a list of documents that exist in a specific folder

Tried solution:

• endpoint /api/v4/folders/list.json seems to be working exactly the same as /api/v4/folders.json

• Something similar to this - similar endpoint doesn't seem to exist

• Filtering documents by parent_id, however this functionality doesn't exist

Is there some kind of example of the endpoint to perform such operation?

Reading the documentation, it appears as though /api/v4/folders/list.json returns the contents of a folder. If you are trying to get a list of all the documents within the folder 1425540709 (using your example above) then your GET would add a parameter "parent_id = 1425540709". According to the documentation, if you don't send a "parent_id" it defaults to the root folder for the account.

Your request url should look like this I believe:

https://app.goclio.com/api/v4/folders/list.json?parent_id=1425540709&limit=25

The response will be a json array of the items within that folder.

Make sure you send it a parameter for what fields you want back too because otherwise the api defaults to just id and etag.
