Download entire folder from Version Control via TFS 2015 RestFul Apis

Question

Is there a way to get the download url for an entire folder from TFS 2015 Version Control using the RestFul apis?

I can get metadata about items via the /_apis//tf

Answer 1

There isn't any download url for items/folders with currently Version Control API.

To get an entire folder, you can zip it and download it with the Rest Api with following format:

[Get] https://xxx/defaultcollection/_apis/tfvc/items?path=<Folder Path>&api-version=1.0

And add following in the request header: Accept: application/zip
