Dropbox API error with 500
Greetings,
I am encountering the following error while calling the Dropbox API:
InternalServerError('6c7329b49922471380831b2b3f2fb49c', 500, '{"error": "The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."}')
Below is the Python code for the API call:
self.dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(self.app_token).with_path_root(dropbox.dropbox_client.PathRoot.root('8297511184')) result = self.dbx.files_list_folder(path)
I would like to request clarification on the cause of the above error.
Best regards,
SangWoon Yoon
Yes, that error indicates an issue with the value passed to as_user. The as_user method requires a team member ID, not an email address. You can get team member IDs from team_members_get_info_v2 or team_members_list_v2 and team_members_list_continue_v2, for example.

Thanks, that's helpful. It looks like you're actually hitting a different issue now. It appears you're sending an improperly formatted Authorization header value. Please remove any leading or trailing whitespace from your access token string (self.app_token in this code snippet) and try again.
You're right! there's some whitespace in our token string. thank you for your help.
After removing the whitespace, we've encounter an error below:
('feefc7a078c647338e0c5381bc129ff8', 400, 'Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Invalid select user id format')
('61bd222a697c4c4586ec7954d87ae3bb', 400, 'Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Invalid select user id format')
('e809c790be5a4994a0612d593f8b1be5', 400, 'Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Invalid select user id format')
('89e8b8eb91904084824fb114ae56eaa3', 400, 'Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Invalid select user id format')
Here is the latest version of the code we are currently using:
some_id = 'example@pping.kr'
self.dbx = dropbox.DropboxTeam(self.app_token).as_user(some_id)
root_namespace_id = self.dbx.users_get_current_account().root_info.root_namespace_id
self.dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root(root_namespace_id)).files_list_folder(path)Is there a mistake while using user_id?

It works. Thank you!
Yet we have another issue with the refresh token, but we will ask about this in another thread next time.
Thank you again.
