FolderExists1 API

Determines whether a subfolder with the given name exists inside the specified parent folder. Returns success if the subfolder is found, or an error if it does not exist. Use this variant when you have the parent path and the subfolder name as separate values.

Endpoint

/srv.asmx/FolderExists1

Methods

GET /srv.asmx/FolderExists1?authenticationTicket=...&FolderPath=...&FolderName=...

Notes

This variant accepts the parent path and folder name as separate parameters, which is useful when building folder paths programmatically.
Use FolderExists instead if you already have the full path to the folder.
The check is case-insensitive for folder names on most configurations.

FolderExists - Check folder existence using a full path
GetFolder - Retrieve folder properties
CreateFolder1 - Create a subfolder with parent path and name as separate parameters

`[901] Session expired or Invalid ticket`	The ticket has expired or does not exist.
