How to get list of folders from Management API

If you want to get only the folder associated with stories, you can do that using the Storyblok management API like this;

Firstly, you need to initialize the Storyblok client with a personal access token. You can do that by going to the MyAccount section {1} and Personal access tokens {2}. Click Generate new Token {3} button.

Copy the token immediately because once that page is refreshed, you won’t be able to do that again, and keep it in a safe place. Ideally, in a .env file.

Initialize the Storyblok client and fetch the folders from your space.

        
      const Storyblok = new StoryblokClient({
  oauthToken: {YOUR OAUTH TOKEN},
});

 const res = await Storyblok.get("spaces/126850/stories/", { //126850 is the space ID.
    folder_only: true,
  });
  
  console.log(res.data);

The response data contains an array of the folder each having the data structure below.
