Recurse through all children in a node - Get all documents from a parent folder and sub-folders

Me Ra

My folder structure has 1 parent folder, 4 sub-folders and documents inside each of the 4 sub-folders. I need to get all the documents inside the parent folder through the REST API. The problem is when I do a get 'api/v1/nodes//nodes' I only get the 4 sub-folders return in 'data' and not the documents within each of these. Is there any way i can accomplish this without having to do the recursion manually? I would like to avoid making a separate get call to get the documents inside each sub-folder.

I am afraid that there is no such call. However, the recursive traversal is not complicated and you can use promises to return the result.

Also, if you wanted to get the folder contents recursively in general, you would need multiple calls anyway, because the number of items receivable from a single /nodes/:id/nodes call is limited. You will need to use the page and limit parameters to get all children. I am not sure if the limit is 100 or 200 items; you can test it.
