File Listing in Directory - REST API

File Service
1

The directory contains 70 files and when I call the File Listing API, I only get 10 file listings returned.

Hi Roy!

You can use offset and pagesize in File Listing API. Example with pagesize:

curl -H 'application-id : xx' -H 'secret-key : xx' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -X GET [url=https://api.backendless.com/v1/files/web?pagesize=100]https://api.backendless.com/v1/files/web?pagesize=100[/url]

Regards,
Kate.

Previously I mentioned that the full listing of files wasn’t being returned but today all the 70 files are being returned.

The returned offset value is what I am questioning now.

Whether I specify the offset=0 or offset 8 for example, the response always returns the offset of 0. I think the offset would be the value that I specified in the URL parameters.

Are you saying that no matter what value of offset you send IN, you get the same listing of files every time?

No, I do get the correct expected file listing with setting the offset to different values. What I am questioning is the “offset” : 0 in all cases. I don’t know if I set the offset=9 in the URL params. then will I get the “offset”:9 in the resonse JSON?

I understand that you mean. It will be corrected.

The following problems with the file listing are happening:

  1. The returned file listing only contains 10 files even though I set the pageSize=1000 for example.
  2. Offset in the return response is always 0

  1. Please use pagesize, not pageSize.

  2. I already responded for this issue in previous message.

I made the change to use pagesize and I get all expected file lists in the response.

Thanks
