App Folder permission - getting shared_link_access_denied for public shared link URLs?

Note: I just created a new App Key/Secret for my App to - I'm now using the App Folder permission instead of Full Permission (which I believe is way less scary for users to grant permission and appropriate for my App too). This flow used to work with my old App Key/Secret.

 

I have a shared_link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hyt61zo702g3c5c/AACT5_YdGoZiEyYt4yI6Oolaa?dl=0

I can access it without being logged in at all. You should be able to as well.

 

I have an access token, and make a request to https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder

 

I get the 4 files in that folder, one of which looks like:

1. .tag: "file"
2. name: "Amazing Grace.pro"
3. id: "id:zY8_f7IMoCgAAAAAAAE7EA"
4. client_modified: "2018-04-29T16:52:44Z"
5. server_modified: "2018-04-29T16:52:45Z"
6. rev: "3ca8a5fcf0"
7. size: 1239
8. is_downloadable: true
9. content_hash: "ec5e7fd14465c71b3979e64cd68cff300c3eecfd8cb1ef72c0d427743350d82f"

So next I make a request to https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file with args:{"url":"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hyt61zo702g3c5c/AACT5_YdGoZiEyYt4yI6Oolaa?dl=0","path":"/Amazing Grace.pro"}

 

And I get:

{"error_summary": "shared_link_access_denied/", "error": {".tag": "shared_link_access_denied"}}

 

[Note: the documentation on http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html is missing the type def for the arg to 

sharingGetSharedLinkFile]
