List Folders

​

Overview

Understanding how folders work in your CAMB.AI workspace is essential for effective project management. Think of folders as digital filing cabinets that organize related tasks, transcriptions, audio files, and other assets. What makes these folders particularly powerful is their universal nature across the entire CAMB.AI platform - every task you create through any API endpoint, whether it’s audio separation, transcription, translation, voice synthesis, or any other processing service, can be organized within these same folder structures.

​

When to Use This Endpoint

This endpoint serves multiple strategic purposes in your workflow management. During initial application setup, you might retrieve all folders to populate navigation menus or project selection interfaces. As your workspace evolves, you’ll frequently use the search functionality to quickly locate specific project containers without manual browsing through extensive folder collections.

The filtering capabilities make this endpoint particularly powerful for building responsive user interfaces. Rather than overwhelming users with hundreds of folders, you can implement progressive loading strategies using the limit parameter, or provide real-time search functionality that helps users find exactly what they’re looking for as they type.

​

Key Parameters and Their Strategic Applications

​

Limit Parameter: Balancing Performance and Completeness

The limit parameter operates as your primary tool for controlling response size and optimizing application performance. When you specify a limit between 1 and 100, you’re making a strategic decision about how much data to retrieve in a single request.

​

Search Query: Intelligent Folder Discovery

The search functionality transforms how users interact with large folder collections by implementing intelligent partial matching against folder names. This case-insensitive search mechanism understands that users rarely remember exact folder names, instead supporting natural search patterns that match how people actually think about their projects.

Integration with Broader Workspace Management

The List Folders endpoint works most effectively when integrated with other workspace management features. Folder information often serves as the foundation for task creation workflows across every API endpoint in the CAMB.AI platform, where users select organizational containers before initiating any type of processing operation, whether that’s audio separation, transcription, translation, voice synthesis, or other specialized services.

This cross-service integration creates powerful organizational possibilities. Consider a multimedia localization project where you might use audio separation to isolate speaker tracks, transcription services to generate text, translation APIs to convert content into multiple languages, and voice synthesis to create dubbed audio. All of these interconnected tasks can be organized within a single project folder, creating a comprehensive workspace that tells the complete story of your content transformation journey.
