# List folders

> Returns a paginated list of Knowledge Hub folders (also called Spaces or
Hubs) in the workspace.

Folders group pages and sources, and can be nested to form a hierarchy.
Pass `parent` to list the direct children of a folder, or omit it to list
every folder in the workspace.

API keys are workspace-scoped and admin-created, so the response includes
every non-archived folder regardless of its visibility scope.
