Empty or Partial Response to list_shared_links

I was previously using get_shared_links to retrieve all shared links relevant to my dropbox. However this has started to return only a partial list of files. 

 

I've switched to list_shared_links (as get_shared_links is deprecated), however I have the same problem, and when then trying to create a shared link for a file it does not include in the response, I receive a 'shared_link_already_exists' error.

 

My code is:

 

    token = 'mytoken'
    url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links"
    headers = {
        "Authorization": "Bearer " + token,
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }

    dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(token)

    r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps({}), timeout=60)
    my_links = json.loads(r.content)

I'm aware that list_shared_links requires a path and will only provide the shared links within this directory (and not include files within subdirectories) however I am not receiving all of the files contained within the provided path (whether a path is supplied or not).

 

Is this an error on my side?

 

Thanks

  • Not sure what the problem was, but managed to solve by rewriting the whole thing using the python SDK.
