What error are you getting? Be sure to check the response body, as it will contain detailed error information.

Based on your description though, it sounds like the issue is that you're calling /files/get_metadata for the root folder, which isn't supported, per the documentation:

"Note: Metadata for the root folder is unsupported."

If you want to list the files in the root, you should use /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue.
