endpoint : "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_preview"
method : "POST"
response : system.HttpResponse[Status=Bad Request, StatusCode=400]
[Cross-linking for reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39016383/call-get-preview-http-method-returning-404-error ]
What's the response body? It should contain a more useful error.
Only : 'bad data'
Can you give me example for a working request of this type?
Are you sure that's the actual/entire response body? That doesn't look like an error from the Dropbox API.
Anyway, the documentation includes a curl example:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_preview
Yes, thats all.
Sorry i mistakes the error code is 400 which means bad argument value.
