Hi, you can't download folders via the API just files. You can however download all files in a Dataiku folder via the GUI:

Thank you!

I want more details on that subject, what can we actually download with the API ?

I have the impression that we are forced to use the GUI to download something.

You can download all the files in a Dataiku Managed Folder, you just have to use the folder.list_paths_in_partition() method to get all the files and loop through the list to download them. Below is a post with some sample code:
