GetFoldersAndDocuments1 API

Returns the immediate sub-folders and documents in the specified infoRouter path in short form. This is a lightweight, high-performance variant of GetFoldersAndDocuments that uses abbreviated element names and a minimal attribute set. Folder items contain only their ID and name; document items contain a small set of essential fields. No optional enrichment flags are available — use GetFoldersAndDocuments when full document or folder metadata is required.

Parameters

Response

Success Response

The root element is <response> (not <root>). It carries metadata about the queried folder as attributes. Folder items are returned as <f> child elements; document items as <d> child elements. Both item types use short, abbreviated attribute names. Folders appear before documents.

Notes

• The listing is not recursive — only the immediate children (sub-folders and documents) of the specified Path are returned.
• The root element is <response>, not <root>, which differs from most other infoRouter APIs. Parse the response accordingly.
• Folder items use the abbreviated element name <f> and carry only id and n (name). To retrieve full folder metadata, use GetFolder or GetFoldersAndDocuments.
• Document items use the abbreviated element name <d> and carry a minimal attribute set. To retrieve full document metadata, use GetDocument or GetFoldersAndDocuments.
• All items are returned in a single response with no paging. For large folders with hundreds of items, consider GetFoldersAndDocumentsByPage or GetFoldersAndDocumentsByPage2 to page through results.
• Folders appear before documents in the response.
• The Path parameter is case-insensitive and leading/trailing slashes are normalized automatically.
• If the path does not exist or the user has no access to it, an error response is returned (the error attribute is set on the <response> element and success="false").
• Date fields use yyyy-MM-dd format.
• This API is significantly faster than GetFoldersAndDocuments for large folders because it avoids loading full document and folder objects. Use it when only identity, name, size, date, or checkout information is needed.
