How can I get images width and height values in pixel with API V2
I have created an api with PHP language, I can connect list folders and files etc.. But I cant get the images width and height with api, How can I do this with the latest api documentation ?

I have sent request with
"include_media_info": true
But there is no values depends on the width and height of images, How can I solve this ?

Hi dnaz,
To get image or video media info in metadata you need to call /2/files/get_metadata endpoint. The media info is not supported on other endpoints for number of years already.
Hope this helps.

I just tried for an arbitrary image and its as follows (a bit shortened for clarity):
> POST /2/files/get_metadata > Host: https://api.dropboxapi.com > User-Agent: api-explorer-client > Authorization: Bearer ***********valid*access*token******** > Content-Type: application/json > > {"path":"/IMG_20230616_150044.jpg","include_media_info":true} < HTTP/2 200 < content-type: application/json < server: envoy < content-length: 568 < < {".tag": "file", "name": "IMG_20230616_150044.jpg", "path_lower": "/img_20230616_150044.jpg", "path_display": "/IMG_20230616_150044.jpg", "id": "id:ElL7W-JPrdMAAAAAAABaqQ", "client_modified": "2023-06-16T12:01:28Z", "server_modified": "2023-06-16T12:01:29Z", "rev": "5fe3df1f1b42b22ab554a", "size": 1649795, "media_info": {".tag": "metadata", "metadata": {".tag": "photo", "dimensions": {"height": 4000, "width": 1840}, "time_taken": "2023-06-16T15:00:44Z"}}, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "a373008e6d8daf0d0823cd623d38a949548d26d08f42a779cbf8ebde12c213cc"}
As can be seen both width and height are there. What exactly doesn't work for you?
