Error: options: expected array, got string - but it is an array?
I'm having trouble with an API call. It claims I send a string, but it seems to me to be an array.
This is the full error:
Error in call to API function "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/search_v2": options: expected array, got string
This is what was sent to cURL:
method:"POST"
header:"Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 86"
content:"{"query":"test","options":{"path":"","max_results":100,"file_categories":"folder"}}"
ignore_errors:true
Anyone know what's wrong?
Found the problem... the option file_categories needs to be an array as well.

Hi,
I'm trying to do a search. I use a PHP library to handle the cURL calls. It works fine for creating a folder for instance.
Since the error is specifically about "options" parameter, I assume the call is done correctly, if it wasn't I assume I would get an error about something else, or even a missing "query" parameter?- ЗдравкоLegendary | Level 20

Seems you have posted in OP your HTTP query. 🧐 Is this correct? If so, there are multiple errors! I'm guessing most of them are copy/paste errors when you prepared the post.
To be sure, what we're talking about, post exact structure of your HTTP request/response and/or the code you are using (not something like, as is posted now). Better catch your HTTP request/response, so we would be sure exactly what's going on and what's the error. 😉
