# List folders and courses

> List your folders and courses with item counts



## OpenAPI

````yaml api-reference/openapi.yaml GET /api/preview/folders
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: DocuRise Public API
  version: preview
  description: >
    Programmatic access to DocuRise.


    **This is a preview API.** Every path is versioned under `/api/preview/`

    and carries no compatibility guarantee while it is in preview: fields,

    values and error codes may be added, changed or removed. Once the

    contract stabilizes it will be promoted to `/api/v1/`. See the

    [changelog](/changelog) for what changed and when.


    ### Access


    Every route requires:

    1. A valid API key (see Authentication below).

    2. The calling account's plan must be **Iconic or above**.

    3. During the preview the API is available to some accounts only, whatever
       the plan. Accounts without access get a `404` from every route below; if
       you expect access, check with your DocuRise contact.

    Generate and manage keys from **Settings → Developers** in the dashboard.


    ### Idempotency


    `POST` endpoints that create a resource require an `Idempotency-Key`

    header. Reusing the same key with the same request body replays the

    original response (same status code, same body) instead of creating a

    second resource — safe to retry on timeout or connection loss. A key is

    remembered for 7 days; after that the same key is treated as a new

    request. Reusing the same key with a **different** body is rejected with

    `IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_CONFLICT`. Generate a fresh key (a UUID or ULID is fine)

    per logical operation, not per HTTP attempt.


    One exception: `POST /api/preview/tags` takes no `Idempotency-Key`. Creating
    the same

    tag name twice changes nothing (the second call returns the existing tag
    with

    `created: false`), so a retry is always safe.


    Another exception: `POST /api/preview/segments/preview` takes no
    `Idempotency-Key`.

    It saves nothing, so repeating it is always safe.


    ### Response compatibility


    Responses may gain additional fields over time, and `type`/`code`-style

    enum values (for example a future `LeadFormQuestion.type` member, or a

    new error `code`) may gain new members. Always ignore fields and enum

    values you don't recognize rather than treating them as errors — this is

    what makes every additive change under `preview` non-breaking.


    A field absent from a response is not always the same as a field present

    with value `null`. A field whose type never includes `null` is omitted

    when it doesn't apply — it is never sent as `null` (for example,

    `retryAfterSeconds` is left out entirely when there's no backoff hint, not

    set to `null`). A field whose type explicitly allows `null` uses it to

    mean something real and distinct from "not present" (for example,

    `expiresAt: null` on a document means it has no fixed expiry date, not

    "unknown" or "not applicable").


    All field names use `camelCase` — `notionUrl`, `leadFormQuestions`,

    `collectName`, and so on — consistently across every request and

    response body.


    ### Identifiers


    `id` values are opaque strings. Store and compare them as unstructured

    tokens — don't parse them, validate their format, or assume anything

    about their length or character set.


    ### Errors


    Every error response has the same shape:


    ```json

    { "error": { "code": "STRING", "message": "human-readable", "retryable":
    false } }

    ```


    Switch on `code`, not `message` — `message` is free text for logs/debugging

    and may be reworded without notice; `code` is the stable contract.
    `retryable`

    tells you whether the same request is safe to retry as-is; when present,

    `retryAfterSeconds` is a concrete backoff hint.


    A request body that contains a NUL character (`\u0000`), in a string value

    or in a property name, is refused with `400 VALIDATION_ERROR` before
    anything

    is saved.


    ### Rate limiting


    60 requests/minute per account across all `/api/preview/*` routes,

    regardless of how many keys that account has. Exceeding it returns `429`

    with a `Retry-After` header.


    Separately, an account can have at most 10 requests running at the same

    moment across these routes, however many keys it has. A request that would

    be the eleventh returns `429` with `code: TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS` and

    `Retry-After: 1`; wait for one of your requests to finish and retry. This

    limit counts requests that have not finished, so it can apply even while

    you are under 60 requests per minute.

      summary: List folders and courses
      description: >
        Returns your folders and courses, newest first, with item counts. A

        course is a folder in course layout; both appear in one list and

        `kind` tells them apart. Needs the `documents:read` scope.


        Counts only: the response never contains the items themselves,

        viewers, leads, links or access settings.


        `documentCount` is the number of documents in the folder, including
        draft

        posts and forms. `itemCount` is

        `documentCount` plus the subfolders, links, linked folders and files in
        it.


        Courses are always listed alongside folders. Folders are returned as one

        flat list: each item has a `parentId` (`null` for top-level folders), so

        you can rebuild the tree.


        Results are paged with a cursor: pass `nextCursor` as `cursor` to get

        the next page (`null` on the last page). `limit` defaults to 20; a value

        above 100 is treated as 100. You only ever see your own folders.

        Unknown query parameters are rejected with `400 VALIDATION_ERROR`.

      description: |
        A server-side dependency is temporarily down (`RATE_LIMIT_UNAVAILABLE`
        or `SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE`). Not a problem with the request or key;
        always retryable — honor `retryAfterSeconds` when present. The group
        endpoints (`POST /segments`, `POST /segments/preview`,
        `GET /segments/{id}`) also return it when a very heavy rule could not be
        counted within about 10 seconds: simplify the rule or retry.

      description: |
        A key generated from Settings → Developers, sent as
        `Authorization: Bearer dr_live_<12 hex chars>_<64 hex chars>`. Keys
        carry explicit scopes — each endpoint states the one it requires.
        The full key is shown exactly once at generation time and cannot be
        retrieved again; only the `keyId` prefix is shown afterward. A
        revoked key fails auth on its very next request.
