# List the contents of a playlist folder

`GET /playlist-folders/{playlist_folder_id}/items`

The playlists, smartlists and collections filed in one folder. Use 0 as the id for the root, which is not a stored folder: it holds every list you can see that has not been filed elsewhere, so a newly created playlist appears there without anything having been written for it.

## Path parameters

- `playlist_folder_id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `offset` integer
- `limit` integer

## Response `200`

The folder and the lists filed in it

- PlaylistFolderItemsResponse
  - `playlist_folder` object, required
    - `id` string, required
    - `name` string, required
    - `parent` string, required
    - `sort_order` integer, required
    - `items` integer, required
    - `contents` PlaylistFolderItemObject[], required
      - `sort_order` integer, required — position among its siblings; 0 when never placed
      - `object_type` string, required — The kind of object referenced, as a bare string. The set is intentionally open so a new media type is not a breaking change; values seen today include `song`, `album`, `artist`, `playlist`, `podcast`, `podcast_episode` and `video`.
