files/list_folder and MANUALLY created shared link
Hello.
I have created the shared link to folder in my application directory, for example: Apps/AppFoldername/Foldername
And I want to get list of all files from this directory by API.
I made the request with parameters:
{
"shared_link":{"url":"https:\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/test\/test?dl=0"},"path":""
}
where
https:\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/test\/test?dl=0
is my shared link, which I created by WEB interface of dropbox.
But I received the response with error:
{
"error_summary": "path/not_found/",
"error": {
".tag": "path",
"path": {
".tag": "not_found"
}
}
}
How I can get the list of files? Thanks!
You don't need to escape the "/" characters in the the shared link URL you send to Dropbox. Are you actually sending those "\/" like that, or is that just some special escaping you need to do first in your environment? Even if so, you're missing one in the initial "https://".
The "url" value you send should look like:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/abc1234/ABCD1234efghi?dl=0
