Hello,

 

Does the response include any other information than the code? There is likely an error message returned which should explain what the issue is.

    Hi Scott, thanks for the reply.

    I tested it locally on Postman, this is the error I am seeing (even though the link is shared and can be accessed by anyone)

     

    {
    "error_summary": "shared_link_access_denied/.",
    "error": {
        ".tag": "shared_link_access_denied"
    }
}

      idanarie Are you using an API app registered with the "app folder" access type? There's currently a bug that results in this error when using this method with an access token for an app folder app. That's still open with engineering, but I don't have a timeline on a fix.
