Not tested, but I would try it with:

$path = 'path/to/the/directory/';
$resourceFactory = 
GeneralUtility::makeInstance(TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceFactory::class);
$folder = $resourceFactory->retrieveFileOrFolderObject($path);
$files = $folder->getFiles($start = 0, $numberOfItems = 0, $filterMode = 
self::FILTER_MODE_USE_OWN_AND_STORAGE_FILTERS, $recursive = false, $sort 
= '', $sortRev = false);

Then you have an array of file objects and I assume that you can get the 
data you want from the files.

You can get a lot of inspiration from the filelist sysext.
