How can I list all of my existing folders and subfolders?

Cloudinary allows you to list all of your existing folders and subfolders via the Admin-API.

For example, for listing all root folders, send an HTTP GET request to the following URL:

https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/<your_cloud_name>/folders

Or, listing all folders within a subfolder:

https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/<your_cloud_name>/folders/<subfolder>

Note that requests must first be signed with your credentials, as described in our Admin-API documentation.

Our client libraries provide helper methods to simplify the request, e.g. (PHP):

$api = new \Cloudinary\Api();
$api->root_folders();
$api->subfolders("my_folder");

    So, I'm trying to test this using the direct API as per the example above.

    For the signature hash, since there are no other parameters:

    timestamp=1529697857abcd (abcd is the api_secret value)

    I generate the hash and add it to call

    https://api.cloudinary.com/v1_1/my_cloud_name/folders?api_key=1234&timestamp=1529697857&signature=4b569a0f8322b3a285296b3b8c2908c2a1cb1937

    A dialog pops up "Authentication Required" / User Name: / Password: / OK

    Clear the dialog and JSON return says:

    {"error":{"message":"Invalid credentials"}}

    What am I missing?

    Hi Michael,

    What was the  Username/Password you provided in the dialog box? Username here should be the API key and password should be the API secret.

    Thanks,
    Aditi
