Hi! I want to list files inside a perticular folder and filter them based on creation date. (Created after date). Also I want to search files based on given substring of file name.

Please Provide API query (or curl command) which can help me achieve above scenarios.

    Hi Dhruvin,

    Here you go:

    https://{{api.box.com}}/2.0/search
    ?query=jane
    &created_at_range=2022-10-11T12:27:01-07:00,2099-05-17T13:35:01-07:00
    &ancestor_folder_ids=172599089223
    &content_types=name
    &type=file

    The above will return files that have jane on the name inside the folder 172599089223 created after Oct 11th

    query: text string to look for

    content: where to look for the query string

    type: return only file objects

    For more information please take a look at the search query parameters on our documentation.
