Browse the top level of a space’s media library: its root folders (no parent) and root media (not in any folder), returned together in one data array. Each entry carries a kind discriminant (folder or media); subfolders come first, then media. Drill into a folder with GET /v1/folders/{id}.

Media entries are lean references — type, format, media_type, ids and timestamps; fetch the full media (attributes, exports, signed download URL) via GET /v1/media/{id}.

The feed pages all subfolders before any media via an opaque cursor — treat next_cursor as opaque and pass it straight back.

Pass search to search the whole space by name instead of browsing the root level: folders anywhere in the space’s tree and library media whose name contains the term (case-insensitive), same shape and pagination.

Pass fields to trim the response to the properties you actually need — e.g. ?fields=name,html_url returns just those (plus id, always). Unknown names are rejected rather than ignored.

Required scope: media:read. Rate-limit cost: 5.

Parameters

Query Parameters

limit

integer

>= 1 <= 100

Max entries per page (1–100). Default 25.

cursor

string

Pagination cursor returned as next_cursor from the previous page.

space_id

required

string format: uuid

Example

6916bc3d-e1ab-425b-ac25-eefada01a9a2

Required. The single space to query, as a UUID. The API reads one space at a time — comma-separated lists and wildcards are not accepted, and there is no implicit default.

search

string

<= 200 characters

Search the whole space by name instead of browsing the root level: case-insensitive substring match (≤200 chars) against folders anywhere in the space’s tree and the space’s library media.

fields

string

Return only these properties of each entry, instead of the full object. id is always included. Omit for the complete object. Selectable: kind, id, name, parent_id, space_id, total_media_count, organization_id, created_at, updated_at, html_url, type, format, media_type, folder_id.

The request was malformed (invalid cursor, unknown type, validation failure, etc.). error.code is bad_request.

application/json

Canonical error envelope. code is stable across releases and intended for programmatic handling; message is human-readable. details only appears for validation failures and lists the offending fields.
