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:

Dropbox EngineerHi there,
Thanks for the report! We're investigating this API issue. I'll follow up here once I have an update.

Yes, DragonWhisperer - not officially supported. 😁 But works! In this context, does the API access point you tried work? 😉 Here supported and unsupported are relative things. The access point I posted works for years and stays unaffected by any "stresses" throughout. You can choose to use non working but supported, of course. 🤫
The choice is yours. Good luck.
PS: Dropbox definition of supported and unsupported (if any) is very funny sometimes. The statement you saw (and pointed) is definitely NOT the most absurd one.
