How to use the REST API to recursively download each file in a folder in Powershell

[freedbygrace]

See my example below that is working well enough to get a response and give me a list of files. What I do not understand is why the returned data does not have direct links to download each file or do I need to tie this together with another endpoint in order to conduct the download. Also, when wanting to get a folder that contains other folders recursively with an unknown folder depth, how could one approach this. I don't need the actual code, but even just which endpoints to use and maybe a simple example or pseudo code, then I can abstract my code from that! Thanks in advance!

Also, how can we have the server return hash data for the files so that I can validate if a download is even needed on the client side?

PS - This app is sooooo awesome and very much needed! I look forward to seeing how it will evolve and am glad to contribute also!

$InvokeRestMethodParameters = [Ordered]@{}
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.Method = [Microsoft.Powershell.Commands.Webrequestmethod]::Get
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.UseBasicParsing = $True
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.Uri = "https://yoursubdomain.yourdomain.net/api/fs/list"
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.Headers = [Ordered]@{}
    $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Headers.Authorization = "YourAPIKey"
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body = [Ordered]@{}
        $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body.'path' = "/YourFolderPath"
        $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body.'password' = ""
        $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body.'page' = "1"
        $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body.'per_page' = "0"
        $InvokeRestMethodParameters.Body.'refresh' = $True
	$InvokeRestMethodParameters.ContentType = "application/json"

$InvokeRestMethodResults = Invoke-RestMethod @InvokeRestMethodParameters

ForEach ($Result In $InvokeRestMethodResults.data.content)
  {
        $Result
  }

This is an example of some results.
