List files

List all documents, such as workbooks and folders, accessible from the parent.

Which files are returned by this endpoint

The documents and folders accessible through this endpoint match those returned when you search in the Sigma UI. Some documents that you can view in the Sigma UI are not returned by this endpoint.

• Returned documents and folders are limited to those that you have access to, such as through ownership, a document directly shared with you, a document link shared with you that you have opened, or access inherited through a folder or a workspace. This restriction also applies to users granted the Admin account type.
• Newly created files are not returned immediately after creation. Updated files are reflected immediately.
• If no typeFilters are set, only workbooks, folders, data models, datasets (deprecated), and reports are returned. To return other file types, such as a shortcut (symlink), specify a file type using the typeFilters option.

Usage notes

• Use the parentId to specify a folder and return details about the nested files and documents:
  • Retrieve the ID to use as a parentId by calling the /v2/files endpoint and reviewing the id field in the response for files with a type of folder.
  • To use the “My Documents” folder as the parent folder, call the /v2/members/{memberId} endpoint and use the homeFolderId included in the response.
  • If parentId is not specified, it is assumed to be the root.
• Use the available filters to return files that contain a specific keyword in the name, files with specific permissions granted to the user associated with the API credentials, or files of a specific type.
