Hi,

How to know the childcount of a folder in Result(fetching by folder id)  ?

 

Ex:

Main folder id is 123.

inside main folder i have 2 folders i.e ABC folder and XYZ folder.

Now my question is how to know the child count of ABC and XYZ folders.

By using one api call i want both information of ABC and XYZ  along with child count.

     Unfortunately, there's no easy way to get the child counts for multiple different folders in one API call.  You'll need to make one call per folder to get each folder's information.
