(Python SDK API Help) Some folders are not listing
I am writing a helper app with the python sdk to iterate through folders within a team folder and add certain child folders within specific folders that have a name matching a list of names I have.

Hi mjmt,
As seems, you observe only the first page of your list. Did you try continue listing? Keep in mind that list metadata are provided on pieces and every piece size is NOT guarantead (despite controlable). You have to check for more results waiting and continue when needed. Don't rely that entire list will get back as an only page (in spite possible)!
Hope this claryfies matter.

Dropbox Staffmjmt Здравко is correct; it appears you are only calling files_list_folder, but that is not guaranteed to return everything. You should implement both files_list_folder and files_list_folder_continue. Refer to the documentation linked there for more information on how to use that.
Yes they are correct. I ended up just using the cursor to continue listing and that got all my queries. My program is now up and running 😁
