# GetFolderList and GetFolderItems

## GetFolderList and GetFolderItems

The GetFolderList and GetFolderItem methods are used to retrieve the list of folders, including shared folders, and envelopes in the folders. Using these calls is a more efficient way to get a list of envelopes than using RequestStatuses to request individual envelope statuses.

For more information, see:
