Dropbox API suddenly malfunctionning
Hello,
We have been using the Dropbox api in our application for a couple years now and it has always worked flawlesly.
Since about last week, the list_folder endpoint is no longer returning ...
Greg...I connect to the DB API via Claris Connect.
I am experiencing the same problems as outlined in this post.
Do you have any information on how to update the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root Header" in Claris Connect?

Dropbox StaffJay P I can't offer support for Claris Connect itself, so I recommend referring to the documentation or support resources for Claris Connect. If Claris Connect doesn't already offer the ability to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header (or arbitrary headers such that you can specify "Dropbox-API-Path-Root"), the developer of Claris Connect will need to update it to support that.
Greg,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I am reaching out to Clairs about this now. However, I was hoping to elaborate a bit more to ensure the fix is with Claris.
I connect to the DB API (via Claris Connect) to automate a Folder creation and create a Share (on the newly created Folder). It has worked perfectly for years…until the new DB update. “Team Spaces?”
Using my current code, the folder gets created in the correct directory, but when I reference the newly created folder’s path (to create a Share) I get the “invalid_root/” error returned.
This is what I send to create the folder…(and it works)
"--request POST --header \"Content-Type: application/json\" --data @$$JSONdata"
--------------------$$JSONdata Below--------------------------
JSONSetElement ( "{}" ;
["action" ; "script" ; JSONString] ;
["Path" ; $DBPath; JSONString] ;
["Folder Name" ; $JobFolder; JSONString]
)
However, I get this result when requesting the Share from the folder’s path:
"body":{2 items
"error_summary":string"invalid_root/."
"error":{2 items
".tag":string"invalid_root"
"invalid_root":{4 items
".tag":string"team"
"root_namespace_id":string"2986277024"
"home_namespace_id":string"152637445"
"home_path":string"/Jay Pif"
Do you think this is a Claris Connect issue?

Jay P Since you are getting the "invalid_root" error, it seems you are already able to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header, but aren't supplying the correct value. Please refer to the Team Files Guide for information on how to retrieve the relevant value(s).
If that's still not working for you, please share the steps and code to reproduce the issue so we can take a look.
