The following is a sample ArcGIS Online request URL used to access the user content resource:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith?start=11&num=50&f=pjson

The following is a sample ArcGIS Enterprise request URL used to access the user content resource:

Use dark colors for code blocksCopy
https://machine.domain.com/webadaptor/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith?start=11&num=50&f=pjson

Description

The user content resource returns information on the user's owned items. A user's content are items either in their root content folder (e.g. /content/users/<username>) or in a subfolder of the home folder with the given folder ID. Multilevel folders are not supported. Items in a folder are stored by reference and are not physically in a folder. Rather, they're stored as links to the original item (e.g. /content/items/<itemId>).

Request parameters

Parameter	Details
`[Common Parameters]`	For a complete listing, see Common parameters.
`start` (Optional)	The number of the first entry in the result set response. The index number is 1-based. The default value of `start` is `1`. Example: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 start=11`
`num` (Optional)	The maximum number of results to be included in the result set response. The default value is `10`, and the maximum allowed value is `100`. Note that the actual number of returned results may be less than `num`. This happens when the number of results remaining after `start` is less than `num`. Example: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 2 //Returns a max of 50 results in the response num=50`
`foldersContent`	Return items from all user folders. If `false`, only items from the root are returned. Values: `true` \| `false`
`ignoreTypes`	A filter used to ignore or exclude item types that are specified by the user. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 Example: https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith/1851c185888a43fcb3d6fffb78ae7c94?f=pjson&ignoreTypes=Web Map,Feature Service`
`inRecycleBin`	Returns all items from the recycle bin. The default is `false`. This parameter was introduced in the ArcGIS Online June 2024 update. Values: `true` \| `false` Example: Returns all items in recycle bin for a user under root folder Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith?foldersContent=true&inRecycleBin=true` Returns items in recycle bin for a user with filter Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith?foldersContent=true&types=Web Map,Feature Service&inRecycleBin=true` Returns items in recycle bin for a user with ignore filter Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith?foldersContent=true&ignoreTypes=Web Map,Feature Service&inRecycleBin=true` Note Available only for ArcGIS Online organizations. For a list of unsupported items in the recycle bin, see here.
`types`	Filter by item type. Multiple types can be filtered using commas. Item type is case sensitive. See items and item types for reference. Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 Example: https://org.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/users/jsmith/1851c185888a43fcb3d6fffb78ae7c94?f=pjson&Types=Web Map,Feature Service`

Response properties

Property	Details
`username`	The username of the content.
`total`	The total number of results found for the whole query.
`start`	The number of the first entry in the result set for this response. The index number is 1-based. Note If the `start` or `num` parameters are not provided, the results are paginated and will display 1000 items per page.
`num`	The number of results included in the result set for this response. Note If the `start` or `num` parameters are not provided, the results are paginated and will display 1000 items per page.
`nextStart`	The next entry index if the current result set doesn't contain all results, or -1 if it is the last batch.
`currentFolder`	The current folder listing the user's items.
`items`	The list of the user's items. See Item for response properties for more details.
`[folders] username`	The username of the owner of the folder.
`id`	The folder ID.
`title`	The folder title.
`created`	The date the folder was created. Shown in UNIX time.
`contentStatus`	Item content status. Organization members, as well as public members for verified organizations, can search for items that have these badges using the `contentStatus` filter. Authoritative items are automatically protected to prevent accidental deletion and are boosted in search results to increase visibility and encourage use. Example: Use dark colors for code blocksCopy `1 "contentStatus": "org_authoritative"`
