    You can find information on how to encode parameters on download calls here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/json-encoding

     

    If that doesn't help, please share the steps/code to reproduce the issue, including a sample parameter value that causes it to fail, and whatever unexpected error/output you get so we can take a look.
