I am working with SharePoint and I wanted to know if there is an API to provide folder label access based on a particular role?

For example : Let’s suppose I have created a folder called “MANAGER” and I want to provide read-only to “DEVELOPER” through the API.

Kindly suggest some API .

Thanks in Advance !

Regards, Pallavi .

You would have to do this manually. You’d need to get access to the folder object using the API, then BreakRoleInheritance on the item, and then re-apply the correct permissions.
