About the Folders API

The Folders API enables you to manage folders of collections for a Wix CMS.

With the Folders API, you can:

• Create, delete, update, or retrieve a folder.
• Create, delete, and retrieve collection references that connect a collection to a folder.
• Listen for events that trigger when a folder is created or updated.

Use cases

• Create folders to organize a site's content.
• Retrieve a list of all folders in a site.

Terminology

• Folder: Organizes collections into groups.
• Root folder: The default folder created with every Wix CMS. All collections are automatically grouped into the root folder. The root folder's ID is null and is the only folder in a site that may contain other folders.
• Collection: A group of data items stored together. See the Data Collections API.
• Collection reference: Connects a collection to a folder.
