No, unfortunately there isn't a way to make the API return folders only, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

Can you elaborate on what exactly isn't working for you? What data specifically are you looking for?
The /2/files/list_folder endpoint is expected to returned the metadata for the files and folders located under the path you specify.

Hi There Greg,
Sorry I figured out the problem it was something to do with my end of the configuration, quick follow up question which is:
Is there a way to set the parameter so it only will return folders?
I see in the data that is returned using that call you mentioned that there is a field called '.tag', is there a way to make it so '.tag' = 'folder' and only return that data?
Thanks Greg
