Can we use wild cards in Azure data lake storage Gen 2 file listing Rest API?
According to this document : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/datalakestoragegen2/path/list
If I make a Rest call like this, it gives all the files in artists folder: https://storageaccount.dfs.core.windows.net/files?directory=files/artists&resource=filesystem&recursive=false
But I want only few files which match my search key word, so is there a way to do a wild card search ?
Currently, the Azure data lake gen2 Path - List does not support wild card search.
But if you enroll in the public preview of multi-protocol access on Data Lake Storage, then blob APIs and Data Lake Storage Gen2 APIs can operate on the same data. So that you can take use of the list blobs api for your ADLS GEN2, then you can use the prefix url parameter to filter out some files. Note that this link contains the limitation of blob api for ADLS GEN2.
Also, you can submit a feedback about this api on the Data Lake Feedback form
