Get(Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will find a folder by querying based on a folder name and return the JSON representations of the objects satisfying the query. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of folders.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.
Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

folderName={name}

Examples:
To search by name only:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/folder?folderName={name}
