team_log/get_events

I am trying to use team_log/get_events API and before using it in my code i was testing in Dropbox API explorer with my access token. I have already provided necessary permissions such as events.read and team_data.member. But it's showing me error?

Can anyone please help me with this?

 

 

  • A 'missing_scope' error indicates that while the app is permitted to use that scope, the particular access token you're using to make the API call does not have that scope granted. Also, be aware that just adding a scope to your app via the App Console does not retroactively grant that scope to existing access tokens.

    That being the case, to make any API calls that require that scope, you'll need to get a new access token with that scope.

    Refer to the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation for more information.
