Problem with share links

Problem with share links

Hello.

 

I have some issue using the API and the Shared link

 

  • list_shared_links always return "true" for hasMore
  • Exception in 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings: {".tag":"shared_link_already_exists","shared_link_already_exists":null} is raised but the shared link (I want to create) wasn't in the retrieved links I got with list_shared_links

Hi @DavidG11,

Did you continue with the cursor returned? 🧐 Or, just every single time you start, it's from beginning anew. 🙂

Hope this gives direction.

 

PS: By the way, to avoid processing long list of links, you can pass the path (or id) and request direct only link. In such a way you're going to receive single link - the desired one. 😉

Yes I continued with the cursor returned.

The last time, the hasMore return true but the links array is empty.

 

I'll try with the id, if the java integration supports this.

It's possible. In such case, you have to continue! Empty array is NOT end criteria.

Take a look here. Don't forget to set direct only too.

Hope this helps.

I had a "rate limit" if I continue following the cursor.

 

Anyway, it worked using the file id as path parameter.

Need more support?
