Not sure if you want to fetch the images or the folders... You could try this

fetch('content','tree', hash('parent_node_id', '51', class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(5)))

51 is the node id of the image folder & 5 for images (check the id node of your install and change the array to the class you want to fetch. You also have to give access to
"Anonymous Users" to the media folder at "Roles and policies".

The site center there is banner for the site withe latest 5 articles, random showing, and also there is banners for advertising, also there is mix images use in the site.

I had create folder called site banners under images ... I couldn`t fetch this folder, until I moved to media/banners !

that was the problem .. solved by moving it folder banner ^^

I used following code in a site to get random images from "Media / Images / Sponsor Images" (the folder "Sponsor Images" has id 93):

{let randomised_array=fetch('content','tree', hash('parent_node_id', '93', class_filter_type, "include", class_filter_array, array(5)))|shuffle}
{section name=random loop=$randomised_array max=3}
<div class="side"><a href="{$random:item.data_map.image_url.content}"><img src={$random:item.object.data_map.image.content[banner125].full_path|ezroot} /></a></div>
{/section}
{/let}

It worked for me after giving anonymous access to the media folder, like I said before.

In theory this code should work with other content classes if you change the class_filter array.

Thank you for this example snippet of a way to provide a random image :)
This is worth documenting.
