What kind of Cloudinary API should I use?

I am trying to use Cloudinary with Flask.
How can I get a batch of photo files from Cloudinary's subfolders containing photos? Can I get it in bulk with the CloudinaryImage method? Or do you use other methods?

  Hi,

  This isn't specific to Flask, but you can use our Python SDK to fetch a list of images using our rate-limited Admin API:
  https://cloudinary.com/documentation/admin_api#browse_resources
  
  To fetch all images of type 'upload' in a folder called 'test' you can do this:

  cloudinary.api.resources(
    type = "upload", 
    prefix = "test")

  
  The response will be a list of matching resources.

  Because this API is rate-limited, it's suitable for administrative tasks, but not a replacement for having your own database which contains a list of the images you want to show on each page. An alternative, if you need to show images from a 'live' request to our system is to use a Client-Side Resource List which is a JSON list of images that are tagged with a specific tag: https://cloudinary.com/documentation/advanced_url_delivery_options#client_side_resources

  Please let me know if that helps and if there's anything else I can help with

  Regards,
  Stephen
