I want to retrieve pages documents from the site pages library based on the language. right now I have the english documents on the root folder of site pages and spanish documents in es folder. I had my code working with this: await sp.web.lists.getByTitle("Site Pages").items.....getPaged() however now I want to make it dynamic based on the language, so I wrote this:
await sp.web.getFolderByServerRelativeUrl("/sites/mysite1/sitepages/es").files
but now i am unable to do getPaged like when we do with items

is this even the right way to query pages from multilingual folders?

Maybe renderListDataAsStream could be helpful?

Its RootFolder can be combined with pageToken.

Alternatively, a filter on FileDirRef and get paged method, thought throttling issues might be expected with too many pages in a library.

Haven't tried this so will have to experiment. I do know from looking at adding pages to folders the undocumented API we use doesn't support creating pages in folders (or we haven't been able to figure out how).

@koltyakov is there an example on using pageToken with renderListDataAsStream? isn't there a way to cast the files returned by getFolderByServerRelativeUrl to Items so then I can carry on with .filter .order .getPaged the same I do with items?

@koltyakov I ended up doing it like here: https://github.com/pnp/pnpjs/issues/1533 by adding a filter to the folder name for that specific language "es". thanks @koltyakov
