# List

To list the existing files you need to execute a **GET** request against the **/libraries/:id/files** endpoint. 

Since potentially there could be thousands of files, pagination is supported with **limit**, **order** and **after** arguments. Read about [pagination](/reference/rest-api/pagination.md) to learn the details of it. By default maximum 100 files will be returned in the response.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want to retrieve the details of one concrete file execute a **GET** request against the **/libraries/:libraryId/files/:fileId** endpoint
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The **total\_count** is the total amount of files  you have in the library. It is **NOT** the amount of files  in the current page returned in the **data** array. In the above example you have 6124 files  in total, but in the data array there will be maximum 100 files (the default limit argument value).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.digitalsamba.com/reference/rest-api/content-library/files/list.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
