Search Password Folder Documents ​

GET /winapi/searchdocuments/folder

Searching for documents in Password Folders can be achieved by passing a GET request, and the level of access to documents is the same as when the user is logged into the web User Interface.

  • You can search within a specific Folder by specifying the FolderID, or if you leave this blank, you can search across all Password Folders
  • If you want to return all documents in a Folder, or across all Folders, you can also leave 'searchcriteria' blank.
  • Searching is performed on the Document Name and Description, as well as the name of the Folder the document belongs to.
