Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

Access token issued by the CDF project's configured identity provider. Access token must be an OpenID Connect token, and the project must be configured to accept OpenID Connect tokens. Use a header key of 'Authorization' with a value of 'Bearer $accesstoken'. The token can be obtained through any flow supported by the identity provider.

Body

application/json

The project name

Cursor for paging through results. In general, if a response contains a nextCursor property, it means that there may be more results, and you should pass that value as the cursor parameter in the next request.

Note that the cursor may or may not be encrypted, but either way, it is not intended to be decoded. Its internal structure is not a part of the public API, and may change without notice. You should treat it as an opaque string and not attempt to craft your own cursors.

filter
object
partition
string

Splits the data set into N partitions. The attribute is specified as a "M/N" string, where M is a natural number in the interval of [1, N]. You need to follow the cursors within each partition in order to receive all the data.

The maximum number of allowed partitions (N) is 10.

Cognite rejects requests if you specify more than 10 partitions. When Cognite enforces this behavior, the requests result in a 400 Bad Request status.

Example:

"1/3"

limit
integer<int32>
default:100

<- Maximum number of items that the client want to get back.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 1000
cursor
string
Example:

"4zj0Vy2fo0NtNMb229mI9r1V3YG5NBL752kQz1cKtwo"

Response

The response for a successful files/list operation

A list of objects along with possible cursors to get the next page of results

items
object[]
nextCursor
string

Cursor to get the next page of results (if available).
