Re: APIs to get changes since some date or time

APIs to get changes since some date or time

Hello,

 

We are working on a requirement where we are looking to get the list of changes done in Dropbox account after a certain time.

 

Say for example: I want to get list of all files which are created or modified after 10th June. I had a look at the API documentation and also tried few APIs but couldn't achieve this behaviour. Please suggest if there is any way we can use the APIs to achieve this.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to do this exactly with the Dropbox API, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. 

 

The closest thing would be to process all of the entries from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] with path="" and recursive=true, and keep track of the server_modified values manually, but that would be more work and may not give you exactly the right values you're looking for.
