Box api v2 "folders" response is too limited
===

I'm integrating Box into an iOS app using the Box v2.0 api.

The first problem I've hit is that the metadata provided for "entries" by the "folders" api request is too limited. What the api currently returns for each folder "entry" is something like:

    "entries" : 
    [
        {
            "sequence_id": "0",
            "type": "file",
            "id": "2631999573",
            "name":"IMG_1312.JPG"
        },
        {
            "type":"folder",
            "id":"2305623799",
            "sequence_id":"1",
            "name":"a child folder"
        }
    ]

This means that to retrieve basic metadata (size, modification date etc) for a child entry I have to issue a REST request for *each* item. This is clearly very inefficient.

It would be much, much better if the 2.0 api allowed richer metadata in the "folders" response. It could be filtered by providing a suitable query in the request. e.g.

    GET /folders/980980989?fields=name,id,type,size,modified_at

Unless I'm missing something in the 2.0 api it looks like I will have to revert to the v1.0 "get_account_tree" api call for now.
