Dropbox StaffPlease clarify what you mean when you say you are "still facing issues". For example, share any unexpected error or output.
Sorry about that!
The issue that is appearing now is
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 () https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata
The entire code I have is this:
<script>
$.ajax({type: 'POST',data: "{\"include_deleted\":false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\":false,\"include_media_info\":false,\"path\":\"}",contentType: "application/json",beforeSend: function(xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer ***)}, success: function(data){console.log(data);//process the JSON data etc}})</script>- Greg-DB
What's in the response body for that response with the 400 status code? It should contain a more specific error message.
Is this what you mean?
