# Get Folder Items

This tutorial demonstrates how to get folder items via RESTful API.

Folder items contain the details about the folder, such as the folder ID, parent ID, job ID, sub-folders inside, 12d jobs, and files inside it.

The commands are provided in curl and can be run from the command prompt when the 12d Synergy Server is running (or in a batch script).

> [!NOTE]
> Additional API documentation
> 
> To get a list of most of the API requests available, with the 12d Synergy server running, browse [http://synergy.myserver.com/api-docs/ui/index](http://localhost:8080/api-docs/ui/index).
> 
> (Replace [synergy.myserver.com](http://synergy.myserver.com/) with the external server address and update the port numbers if necessary.)
