idanarie Are you using an API app registered with the "app folder" access type? There's currently a bug that results in this error when using this method with an access token for an app folder app. That's still open with engineering, but I don't have a timeline on a fix.
Hi Greg, there is some new about this error? It's affecting my project also.

Update: the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata and /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoints (and corresponding methods in the SDKs) should now work when using an access token for an app with the app folder access type.
