Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
page	query	string	No	Opaque page cursor returned in a prior list response's `next_page`. Prefixed `page_`.
ids[]	query	string[]	No	Restrict the result set to Files whose `id` is in this list. At most 100 entries (after de-duplication). Mutually exclusive with `page` and `limit`. When supplied, the response is always a single page (`next_page` is null). IDs that do not resolve to a visible File — including deleted Files — are silently omitted.
