Unable to fecth files and folders from Team folders

The exact number of entries you get back per /2/files/list_folder[/continue] page is not guaranteed. Sometimes the API may return more entries per page, and sometimes it may return fewer.

Hello Again,
A bit More:
Everything is working fine now, I am able to acess everything now,
The problem is : Records (Number of Folders and Files vary when I call the API).
When I call the API ( /2/files/list_folder and /2/files/list_folder/continue ) first time it shows exact no of files , but when I call it again it chages the no of files and folders, but when again I call the same, it shows exact no of records.
Means, to get exact no of Files , I will have to call then API around 3 to 4 times.
Actually , I called the API's at page load, when first time page loads it shows the records properly, when I again refresh/load the page records count not comes properm , when I load/refresh the page again, not comes the recods properly.
Somtime to get the exact no of records , I have to refesh tha page 4 to 5 times
Could you please tell me the reason behind it.
