unable to get all Image details information from Metadata (media_info)
how to get all the Image details information from metadata using api v2. In api v1 we were able to get below information but now how we can able to get these kind of infromation from V2.
example:
"contents": [
{
"size": "2.3 MB",
"rev": "38af1b183490",
"thumb_exists": true,
"bytes": 2453963,
"modified": "Mon, 07 Apr 2014 23:13:16 +0000",
"client_mtime": "Thu, 29 Aug 2013 01:12:02 +0000",
"path": "/Photos/flower.jpg",
"photo_info": {
"lat_long": [
37.77256666666666,
-122.45934166666667
],
"time_taken": "Wed, 28 Aug 2013 18:12:02 +0000"
},
"is_dir": false,
"icon": "page_white_picture",
"root": "dropbox",
"mime_type": "image/jpeg",
"revision": 14511
}
],
To retrieve the additional media information for a media file like this via API v2, call /2/files/get_metadata with include_media_info:true. If the media information is available for the file, it will be included in the FileMetadata.media_info in the response.

Greg-DB Thanks
Yes I am able to get the additional info like location, dimension, timetaken. Can i get other information too ? like shutter speed, aperture etc we can get this infromation from Dropbox UI but i need to get it from API Is that possible?- Greg-DB
No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't expose these additional fields, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
If you want to retrieve this information, you'd need to download the file and parse out that data from the file.
