# List Folders

> List the folders directly inside a folder, or at the root of the library, ordered by name. A team API key works on the team's folders as the team member who created the key; a personal key works on the user's own folders. Page with limit and the next_offset returned by the previous response.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Minimum required API key scope: `Read`

# Use Cases

* **Browse the Library**: List top-level folders, or the subfolders of a folder with `parent_folder_id`.
* **Find a Folder by Name**: Use `name_contains` to find the folder an agent should file content into.
* **Check Folder Size**: Each folder returns an `item_count` of the queries and dashboards inside it.
