Folder REST API (Preview)

Workspace folders are an easy way for you to efficiently organize and manage items in the workspace. We’re pleased to share that Folder Rest API is now in preview. Create and manage folders in automation scenarios and seamlessly integrate with other systems and tools.

What APIs are new?

  • Create folder
  • Delete folder
  • Get folder
  • List folder
  • Move folder
  • Update folder

Updated existing APIs

  • The folder id is returned in the item object in these APIs:
    • Get item
    • Update item
    • List items in a workspace
  • For the List item API, we added a new parameter to support list items in a folder.
  • For the Create item API, we added the id in the request body to enable you to create an item in a folder.

What’s coming soon?

While the current public preview offers robust functionality, we are continuously working to enhance the Folder REST API.

Here are some APIs that will be available soon:

  • Move an item or items into a folder.
  • Updates to existing Admin APIs including Get item and List item, where the folder id is returned in the item object.

We encourage you to try out the Folder REST API and provide us with your valuable feedback. Your insights will help us improve and refine this feature to better meet your needs moving forward. To get started, check out the Folders documentation for more details and explore the possibilities! Submit your feedback on Fabric Ideas and join the conversation on the Fabric Community

Happy coding!
