Thank you.
It's first time that i use this tools.
I changed the Metod in POST and insered the path ( looking other example ) but i have always error 401 not autorized.
this is new cod :
Dim _command As String
_command = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder"
Dim Request As HttpWebRequest
Request = HttpWebRequest.Create(_command)
Request.Method = "POST"
Request.KeepAlive = True
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls
Request.ContentType = "application/json" ' application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
Request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36"
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = CType(48, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(192, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(768, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(3072, SecurityProtocolType)
Request.AllowAutoRedirect = True
Request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " & token)
Dim payloadLiteral = "{""Path"": ""/files/list_folder""}"
Dim payload = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(payloadLiteral)
Request.ContentLength = payload.Length
Using dataStream = Request.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(payload, 0, payload.Length)
End Using
Try
Using response = CType(Request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)
Using reader = New IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
'Return reader.ReadToEnd()
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As WebException
Using response = CType(ex.Response, HttpWebResponse)
Using reader = New IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
Throw New Exception(reader.ReadToEnd())
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception

Are you sure the access token you're using is actual one and not expired? 🧐
Also, post the received result (either error or success) so it be clear what's going on exactly..

I have generate a new token and insered in my web app.
Additional information: Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: unknown field 'Path'

Yes, of course. it's case sensitive! Also, make sure the path is valid... you may start with just empty string - it's always valid.

Perfect, it looks right.
Just a question : i had my token , generate 1 or 2 days ago and that didn't work.
If i go in App console i didn't see it and o i generate again.
How is valid a token ?
should i generate a new one every time i use my web app ?
