Get thumbnail API issue for the last 24 hours

Hi,

Our app is using the dropbox node.js SDK v10.32.0 to get a thumbnail of an image.

Usage example:

this.dbx.filesGetThumbnailBatch({ entries }).then((response) => {
// response.result.entries must be an array but it randomly returns empty string
});

For the last 24 hours, we started experiencing an issue with this API method which randomly returns an empty string instead of an array of thumbnails while the status code is 200.

Here is an invalid response example:

 

I would really appreciate it if anyone can help with resolving the issue
