Check if a given path is file or folder
Hello
I am trying to use your API and to check if a path is a file or a folder. For folders works ok but when I find in my path a file the request crashes with {".tag":"path","path":"not_folder"} (...

You can catch that not_folder error directly from the listFolder call to detect and handle that. If you do wish to make another call to check it first though, you can do so by calling getMetadata and checking the subtype of the returned Metadata.
