Regarding APIs for Team shared folder and non shared folders
Hi Team,
I am integrating CASB with dropbox. Previously we were using this condition to add the header in following API: https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/copy_reference/get
Dropbox-API-Path-Root = "#account_type == 'team' ? '{\".tag\": \"namespace_id\", \"namespace_id\": \"' + #root_namespace_id + '\"}' : ''"
where we were making this api call to get the "account_type-> $[''body''][''root_info''][''.tag'']" and "root_namespace_id-> $[''body''][''root_info''][''root_namespace_id'']" ,
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account
Earlier this approach was working fine for all type of events. Recently we are experiencing an issue when the events are generated in team shared space.
So for all the user we have currently the account_type is coming as business and that's why we are passing Dropbox API Path Root as null and we are getting error in copy ref api for shared file event.
Do you think this is the right way to handle the scenario for all the type of events that we received from team logs api?
Is there any other parameter in the team log api that we can rely on to distinguish between when to call copy ref api with that header or not? Or let us know if this use case(team log events for file/folder shared/non shared all) is achievable by hitting any other api?

The [''root_info''][''.tag''] returned by /2/users/get_current_account doesn't indicate the type of the account; it actually indicates the type of the root currently used by the account. A "team" value there indicates that the root is a shared team root, but it is possible for an account to be on a team but not have a shared team root (which is the "updated team space" configuration in particular). Refer to the Team Files Guide and this post (linked at the top of the guide) for more information on this.
For that reason, just checking for a "team" root isn't the right way to determine if you need to use the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. Please refer to the linked resources above for more information on when/how to do so.
