Unable to retrieve pages within folders using the REST API

Question

I am using folders to organise my pages.

I also use the REST API to retrieve all the pages in the space using the endpoint  /wiki/rest/api/content/search

Howwver this endpoint does not retrieve the pages within folders. Is this a bug, or am I doing this the wrong way?

You can find the pages (or any content type) within a folder, using https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-children/#api-folders-id-direct-children-get - this will give basic info, you can then get more info with further REST calls.

Hi @Thomas Kerman ,

In order to get folders, you need to use the v2 version of the Confluence API: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/confluence/rest/v2/api-group-folder/#api-folders-id-get

Hope this helps.
