Easy way to list IPFS directory contents

Question

I have an image directory that I've posted to IPFS with a large number of images in it. When I try to query the directory using an IPFS HTTP gateway, I get a gateway timeout error as I assume the quantity of files is so high. I am using:

https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeiakb6sdfohwdw7dtdbe..../directory

Is there a simple way to CURL this directory easily into a json file, or some other method where I can get the file list? I also have IPFS downloaded and installed on my Ubuntu server, but can't figure out how to list the files within this directory through there either...

Might be worth checking if the cloudflare IPFS gateway works for you to get access to the directory.
