List Shared links in Dropbox Business Java SDK

How to List Shared Links in a Dropbox Business account? 

 

I am using dropbox Business (DbxTeamClientV2 client) to get all shared links but getting an error

 

DbxTeamClientV2 client = new DbxTeamClientV2(config, accessToken) // The access token was generated  for business account 
client.asAdmin(memberId).sharing().listSharedLinks().getLinks(); // fails right here

Error in call to API function "sharing/list_shared_links": This endpoint doesn't support "HTTP header \"Dropbox-API-Select-Admin\""

 

Although, it works fine in dropbox Personal account (DbxClientV2 client)

DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, accessToken); // The access was token generated  for personal account 
client.sharing().listSharedLinks().getLinks(); // this works
  • abhinovClairvoyant Здравко is correct. For that method you should use asMember​ instead of asAdmin​, as you're operating on the member account, not as an admin (whether or not the member happens to be an admin). Give that a try and let us know if you're still running in to any issues.

    Hi abhinovClairvoyant,

    Take a look on the listSharedLinks method description. There you can see that it lists current user' links (not very clear; 🤔 certainly can be improved) which means member' links, not admin! 😉 That's where your problem comes from - change asAdmin to asMember.

    Hope this helps.
