Hello, I don’t know of a WSE REST API call that would do that. You could probably write a module to extend the REST API to do it. Sorry, but no endpoint to list the contents of the content directory.

@sneha_vishwakarma, To followup on what @Rose_Power-Wowza_Com said 🙂

1. create a custom module (for the purpose of building a jar)

2. Create an [HTTPProvider](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-create-an-http-provider) to hook that function to the browser call.

3. Optionally add some security to the HTTP call

I see a lot of asking around about this and it seems there used to be a module for this long time back, so here is [something](https://github.com/connessionetech/rtmpworld-wse-plugin-videonamelist) for anyone looking for this functionality. You can use it out of the box or even modify it as you want.

It is an [opensource implementation](https://github.com/connessionetech/rtmpworld-wse-plugin-videonamelist) of an HTTP provider via a module to let you list out media files in the `content` directory.
