Hi Lucidcharts
What is the preferred API method to get a list of folders IDs? I'm trying to pull together the list of users and collaborators and all of those calls require a folder ID; but I'm finding difficulty even fetching a list of folder IDs.


Is there an API call to GET /folders which returns a list of folder IDs?



Thank you

Hello Boris thank you for your question.


The https://developer.lucid.co/rest-api/v1/#list-folder-contents78 endpoint returns the folder IDs of any folders within it.  You can call folders/root/contents to get the user's root folders and iterate from there to get all folders.


One note.  The /root call does not currently return the team folders for a user. This effectively means its not currently possible to get the initial list of Team Folder IDs. This is a known issue and we are investigating a way to provide that functionality as well. I do not currently have a timeline for when this will be available.


Thanks I manually discovered all the folder IDs I needed and will hardcode them for now.


Thank you
