SharePoint 2013 working with file and folders: How to get SharePoint files of a particular folder using REST Services

In one of my article we saw how to fetch files from SharePoint Root folders using SharePoint RESTservices. Now In this article we will see how to fetch the files from a particular folder using SharePoint REST services.

Following is the SharePoint REST API:

"/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/LIBRARY_NAME/FOLDER_NAME')/folders"

Following is the sample code:

<html>
<head>
<script src="/Site%20Assets/js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
<script>

function GetAllFoldersofRootFolders()
{
$.ajax(
{
url: "/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/testdoc/testfolder')/folders",
method: "GET",
headers: {
"ACCEPT": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose"
},
success: function (data) {
var htmlStr = "";
$.each(data.d.results, function(){

if(htmlStr === "")
{
htmlStr = "<li 'ServerRelativeUrl="+ this.ServerRelativeUrl + "'>" + this.Name + “</li>";
}
else
{
htmlStr = htmlStr + "<li 'ServerRelativeUrl="+ this.ServerRelativeUrl + "'>" + this.Name + “</li>";
}

});

$("#foldersDiv").html(htmlStr);
},
error: function (data) {
alert("Error occured." + data);
}
});

}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<div>
<input type="submit" onclick="GetAllFoldersofRootFolders()" value="Get All Files of folder"> </input>
</div>

<div>
<ul id="foldersDiv">
</ul>
</div>
</body>
</html>
