Authorizations

​
Authorization
string
header
required

The access token received from the authorization server in the OAuth 2.0 flow.

Query Parameters

​
fields
string[]

A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response.

Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.

​
limit
integer<int64>

The maximum number of items to return per page.

Required range: x <= 1000
​
offset
integer<int64>
default:0

The offset of the item at which to begin the response.

Queries with offset parameter value exceeding 10000 will be rejected with a 400 response.

​
usemarker
boolean

Specifies whether to use marker-based pagination instead of offset-based pagination. Only one pagination method can be used at a time.

By setting this value to true, the API will return a marker field that can be passed as a parameter to this endpoint to get the next page of the response.

​
marker
string

Defines the position marker at which to begin returning results. This is used when paginating using marker-based pagination.

This requires usemarker to be set to true.

​
direction
enum<string>

The direction to sort results in. This can be either in alphabetical ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

Available options:
ASC,
DESC
​
sort
enum<string>

Defines the second attribute by which items are sorted.

Items are always sorted by their type first, with folders listed before files, and files listed before web links.

This parameter is not supported when using marker-based pagination.

Available options:
name,
date,
size

Response

Returns a list of items that have been deleted.

A list of files, folders, and web links in their mini representation.

​
limit
integer<int64>

The limit that was used for these entries. This will be the same as the limit query parameter unless that value exceeded the maximum value allowed. The maximum value varies by API.

Example:

1000

​
next_marker
string | null

The marker for the start of the next page of results.

Example:

"JV9IRGZmieiBasejOG9yDCRNgd2ymoZIbjsxbJMjIs3kioVii"

​
prev_marker
string | null

The marker for the start of the previous page of results.

Example:

"JV9IRGZmieiBasejOG9yDCRNgd2ymoZIbjsxbJMjIs3kioVih"

​
total_count
integer<int64>

One greater than the offset of the last entry in the entire collection. The total number of entries in the collection may be less than total_count.

This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.

Example:

5000

​
offset
integer<int64>

The 0-based offset of the first entry in this set. This will be the same as the offset query parameter.

This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.

Example:

2000

​
order
object[]

The order by which items are returned.

This field is only returned for calls that use offset-based pagination. For marker-based paginated APIs, this field will be omitted.

​
entries
(File (Full) · object | Folder (Mini) · object | Web link · object)[]

The items in this collection.

A full representation of a file, as can be returned from any file API endpoints by default.
