Documents

Documents are files placed in folders.

Documents do not have individual permissions, but inherit them from the folder, they are in. Hence, everyone, who can see a folder, can see all documents therein, and everyone, who can edit a folder, can edit documents in it.

Get Documents in a Folder

curl "https://example.ziik.io/api/folders/121/documents"
  -H "Authorization: Bearer aaaaaaaaa.bbbbbbbbb.cccccccccc"

The above command returns JSON structured like this:
