You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

list_shared_links
The following cURL command works:
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download \
--header "Authorization: Bearer myAccessToken" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/Public/086d3dd999a7abab.mp3\"}" \
-o "./086d3dd999a7abab.mp3"
--header "Authorization: Bearer myAccessToken" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/Public/086d3dd999a7abab.mp3\"}" \
-o "./086d3dd999a7abab.mp3"
The following cURL command does NOT work:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links \
--header "Authorization: Bearer myAccessToken" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"path\": \"/Public/086d3dd999a7abab.mp3\", \"direct_only\": true}"
--header "Authorization: Bearer myAccessToken" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"path\": \"/Public/086d3dd999a7abab.mp3\", \"direct_only\": true}"
Result => {"error_summary": "path/not_found/...", "error": {".tag": "path", "path": {".tag": "not_found"}}}
Why doesn't this cURL command work with the same file /Public/086d3dd999a7abab.mp3?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Greg, I figured it out.

Thanks for the report. We'll need to look into this more specifically for you. Please open an API ticket here, and also include a few sample 'X-Dropbox-Request-Id' response header values for these failures.
