get_shared_link_metadata API problem with the new '/scl' folder links.
Hello, I think get_shared_link_metadata API has a bug with the new "/scl" links.
When I send it a link to a shared folder and path to a file inside it:
// https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sh...

Hi DragonWhisperer,
Yes, it's so unfortunately. But one thing, you state isn't so - the links have always included "&dl=0"! Something you can change it later. Let's see how long will take to becomes that fixed up. In meantime you can use workaround like the one I posted here. 😉 It works for all kind of links to folder and is much faster (no individual call for every link). The example is in Python, but you can use it as you like.
Good luck.
