webhooks to listen for changes in specific path rather than whole dropbox of user account
Hi Team
Is there possibility to listen for changes in only specific paths in dropbox through webhooks?
Thanks in Advance.
The result from "list_folder/continue" on call in webhook is same like in any other call in any other condition. There is JSON result example, also. In a real situation result will be changed entries - all files and/or folders. As a example - you can find can find current last cursor/iterator for you account using:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/get_latest_cursor --header "Authorization: Bearer <your token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{\"path\": \"\",\"recursive\": true}"Change something inside your account content and call following:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue --header "Authorization: Bearer <your token>" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data "{\"cursor\": \"<the cursor from previous call>\"}" | jq '.entries[] | {name, id, path_display}'Result will point just made changes, if any (little bit filtered for improved readability). Without the filter, "cursor" could be used next time. This same result is the delta!

Thank you for posting about webhooks and Dropbox.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to configure webhooks for specific actions or paths in particular.
If there is anything else I can help with, please let me know.
Thank you!
