You can try accessing /api/assets/myFolder.json endpoint in postman with Basic Auth.

@shelly-goel Thank you for the comment. Yes, retrieving folder listing is possible. My question was regarding accessing assets in a collection. Do you know if there a way to fetch assets in a collection?

Since collection doesn't actually hold the assets but virtually groups them together, I don't think there's any API currently available to fetch assets in a collection
