Currently I am using REST in order to get item titles in the Pages directory. The problem is that it is pulling all the elements that are in the pages directory and I only want it to pull from a certain subfolder in the pages directory.
var moduleServiceUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/lists/getbytitle('Pages')/Items?$select=ID,Title,FileRef,Modules";
This is what the call currently looks like.
Try to use this endpoint GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl to return all files and folder at a specific folder URL
https://server/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(<folder url>)?$expand=Folders,Files
To return only all files at a specific folder URL
https://server/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl(<folder url>)?$expand=Files
For more details check get all the files and folders contained inside a SharePoint folder in one rest API call.
Also if you need work with CSOM check How to get all the files inside the folder in list
The query you are using will return all items irrespective of type (folder/file). You can use change to below syntax.
_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('<<folder relative path>>')/Files
Example for folder relative path is
/[subsite]/<<library name>>/<<folder name>>
You can try using:
_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('{listTitle}')/Items?$filter=FileDirRef eq '{serverRelativeUrl}'
However it will only give items from the specific folder.
This query:
_api/web/Lists/GetByTitle('{listTitle}')/Items?$filter=startswith(FileDirRef, '{serverRelativeUrl}')
should return items from other sub folders also.
I don't fully understand what you need but in order to get attributes of a subfolder you need to access the folder first through this endpoint GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl.
Here is a Microsoft documentation regarding Files and folders REST API call.
_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/Lists/getbyTitle('" + LibraryName + "')/Items?$select=FileLeafRef,FileRef,Id&$top=5000
This URL will Resolve ur all problems
