route_access_denied
Hi,
Would someone be able to help with the following error
401 route_access_denied.
I've encountered the above a couple of times now and would like some advice on best to handle it?
We use refresh tokens to obtain new access tokens, which appears to be working fine (did encounter and issue with tokens previously - tokens being truncated) but this has now been resolved.
We cache the tokens and obtain new tokens when they are due to expire.
What should we do when we encounter this error?
Thanks in advance
Hi Ashley B.15,
You're trying to access some endpoint that's not available or not accessible to you. Check what do you request to in your call and if needed dump your request to see what's there.
Good luck.

Ashley B.15 Thanks, that's helpful. The /2/files/list_folder endpoint should certainly be publicly available so we'll look into this and follow up here once we have an update on this.
