# List

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

Since potentially there could be thousands of folders, 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 folders will be returned in the response.

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

```bash
curl --request GET \
  --url https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/libraries/45d125d8-bac9-43a5-a6a8-311a5433239d/folders \
  --user YOUR_TEAM_ID:YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;
import java.util.Base64;

String TEAM_ID = "YOUR_TEAM_ID";
String DEVELOPER_KEY = "YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY";
String authorizationHeader = "Bearer " + Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((TEAM_ID + ":" + DEVELOPER_KEY).getBytes());

//Put your library id here - this value is just an example
String libraryId = "45d125d8-bac9-43a5-a6a8-311a5433239d";

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
  .GET()
  .uri(new URI("https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/libraries/" + libraryId + "/folders"))
  .header("Authorization", authorizationHeader)
  .build();

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());

System.out.println("Status code: " + response.statusCode());
System.out.println("Body: " + response.body());
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

#### Response (200 OK)

```json
{
    "total_count": 6124,
    "data": [
        {
            "id": "1fc95d41-5358-4a81-adb4-5cd8c12e8308",

        },
        ...............99 more folders...............
    ]
} 
```

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