Hi all, is there a way with only using BOX API call(s) to return all of the subfolders and subsequently all of the files within a parent folder. Would I have to recursively look through all folders to find the files? 

Basically what I would like to do is call the Box API and get a response back with what an entire directory looks like -> Compare it to a previous call -> download new files -> put them elsewhere.

    Hello, 

    Unfortunately this doesn't exist. You would have to recursively call the API. You can suggest this on Pulse. 

    Thanks,
