API rate limit error
Hi all, I'm using SwiftyDropbox in a Swift 3 app. I managed to get authentication working, I can get the details of the authenticated user, I can upload files, I can download files, I can create ...

Dropbox StaffHi, I'll be happy to help with this. Can you share the relevant code snippets and the error output you're getting specifically so I can take a look? Thanks in advance!
Hi Greg,
Sure: take the createFolder function from your API and call it a hundred times in a for-loop.
That's all the code you need to simulate.
- Greg-DBThere are a few different errors you might be getting depending on the specifics of the scenario, so please share the specific code and error output you are getting so I can offer help with the particular issue you're running in to. Thanks in advance!
Hi Greg,
You have all the information you need to know to reproduce the problem:
- SwiftyDropbox
- loop a couple of 100 times over your createFolder call
- log the errors from the response callback (response part will be nil, error part will be filled with the error)
- Again, the error = API RATE LIMIT ERROR with a retry_after = 1 in the json reply
That's it.
Storing files is your business, yes? Your API apparently won't let me do that without errors. Asking for source code for something that should be working out of the box in the firstplace is getting downright annoying.
You *know* how to simulate it because I've told you ... twice.
Right now the customer is considering moving away completely from Dropbox. So are we going to get a reply from you or do we move away?
