I am getting invalid_url again and again with /save_url, https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/save_url
Hi, I have an app that uses https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/save_url/save_url endpoint to save urls from my ecommerce store to my dropbox. It was working fine early on locally bu as soon as I ha...

As for why this works locally but not on your server, does your server have a different version of any libraries you're using? Or are you perhaps using a different URL value on the server?
in curl, I passed the payload as a json_encoded body which adds these slashes, but I have also hardcoded an HTTPS URL in the payload as
$payload= [
"path" => "myPathHere",
"url" => "https://abc.com/"
]
and then json encoded that in curl and it worked, but it's not working with dynamic url's
such as
$payload= [
"path" => "myPathHere",
"url" => $url, //my dynamic URL comes here
]
still figuring it out on my side why it's happening.
- payload:{"path":"/2023/November/#1135/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/#1135_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps","url":"https://cdn.customily.com/ExportFile/pf-dev-3/cfa42d7e-4418-47af-b120-83e9ca35b1c1.eps"}uploaded customily orders to dropbox: {".tag": "async_job_id", "async_job_id": "ruN7OyTfOucAAAAAAAAAAQ"} 200payload:{"path":"/2023/November/#1134/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/#1134_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps","url":"https://cdn.customily.com/ExportFile/pf-dev-3/a4da1953-2618-4e17-8f60-4c81e776f0a0.eps"}uploaded customily orders to dropbox: {".tag": "async_job_id", "async_job_id": "Tz3sCHoe4-EAAAAAAAAAAQ"} 200
these are logs of my cron job
and against these async_job_id's I am gettingalthough my URL in body seem valid{".tag": "failed","failed": {".tag": "invalid_url"}}ABDUL Salam, to be honest, I don't know why did you received exactly that error, but your path is definitely invalid (in the second case). In Dropbox whatever path you use must NOT end in slash and when we're talking for file path, it should include filename too - something missing in your case. Fix it.
Good luck.
Здравко It was a typo mistake (second case) I have fixed it.
