Get all the files and folders in the library of SharePoint Online site with one request

I am getting the files of a folder using this: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/driveitem-list-children?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http. This works fine for me.

But the endpoint can only get the files in the first level, it cannot get the files in the subfolders. I need to loop through all the folders to get the files, this is not an option.

My library is like this: foler ->subfolder ->sub subfolder ->files. All the folders have files and subfolders. I just want to get all the files using one request. Is it possible?

Hi @kelly-7927,

As a workaround, you could get all the list items in the library using this endpoint:

 https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items?$expand=driveItem

In the response, it would contaion all the files and folders in the specifice library.
