GET /

Returns a list of content files on a network.

Required Scope Token

bsn.api.main.content.retrieve

______________________________________________________________

Query String Parameters

filter string optional

An expression for filtering search results.

sort string optional

An expression for sorting the search results. The sort expression specifies the entry used for sorting and the ascending/descending (ASC/DESC) sorting order (see this page for more information). The default value is null.

marker string optional

A value specifying which page to retrieve. This value is useful if the isTruncated entry in the response body of the previous GET call indicates that the number of content instances exceeds the pageSize.

This parameter is only required if you need more elements in the paged list than the pageSize (100).

pageSize int optional

The maximum number of content instances that can be contained in the response body. This defaults to the maximum allowed page size (100).
