API Call using Integromat returns error
Hey there,
I want to create an automated API Call to our company's Dropbox that creates a folder with only select user groups having access. To do that I am using the Dropbox "Make an API Call"...

Dropbox Community ModeratorUnfortunately I don't have more specific error information add here beyond the message that the parsing failed. The data shown here does appear to be valid JSON, but it's unclear if/how this may be being transformed when being set in the actual HTTPS request being sent. When I try this value myself with this endpoint just using curl I do not get this error, so it does some it's getting malformed by the client somehow. The best way to debug this would be to print out the actual request being sent.
I presume the \ characters are just to escape the quotes and are not being sent to the API, but that may be good to verify. Likewise, the extra whitespace shouldn't matter, but it may be useful to remove it to eliminate that as a potential issue.
you're right it's all a bit pointless when we don't know what the flat HTTPS request is exactly. I suspect there's something weird happening on Integromat's side of things as well. I have reached out to their support and am awaiting response. I will post here once they tell me what they think the issue is. Until then: Thanks and have a good one!
