Hi Michel,

Huma is right that there’s not a direct way to do this, but there’s a workaround that’s not too bad:

Find a top-level document (not nested in a folder) that’s in your Team Hub, and get its ID
Use the Get Document endpoint with the document ID to get metadata about the document
In the returned JSON, find the parent field. This is the ID of the top level entity within which all of your team’s documents and folders are found
Use the List Folder Contents endpoint with that ID to get the contents of your Team Hub

Note: the contents returned will be paginated, and will only include one “level” of contents. It will return documents which aren’t nested in folders, and any top-level folders. To get to documents stored in any nested folders (along with additional pages of results), subsequent queries will need to be made.

Hi @Michel L

You can retrieve documents your team owns or can access, but you currently cannot query specifically by Team Hub via Lucid’s REST API. The most practical workaround is to rely on search plus workspace/folder filters to approximate the hub’s content.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Thanks for your reply, but It is not usable.
I work for a customer that wants to retrieve information about the documents in a Teams Hub which is not possible.
The turn around for him was to provide me a list of the ID of the documents that are in a team hub which only available manually by the UI (which is quite weird and not user friendly).

Oh yes!! Good idea.

It is a bit strange to get the ID of the Team hub but it works.
It would be great have the id to the teams hub in the UI address bar when looking to its content.

Hi @Caden E
You said “Find a top-level document (not nested in a folder) that’s in your Team Hub”
How can I do that from a rest Api endpoint.
Did I need to do that manually?

Regards.

The most straightforward way would be to do it manually, yes.

There may be creative ways you could accomplish the same goal using Search Documents or Search Account Documents or something similar, but whichever way you choose, it’s just a one-time setup step.

At the end of the day, this isn’t something built into the REST API, so all solutions require some degree of creativity and/or manual tinkering.
