Dropbox Webhooks to get group changes notifications
I'm using the Dropbox Business API. I've been successful at experimenting for a while with webhooks for file changes and having an understanding of the documents getting uploaded/deleted from Dropbox...
Thank you for your quick reply.
Is there any other alternative that I could use?
I tried a similar approach using cursors and different methods such as
team_groups_list
team_groups_list_continue(cursor)team_groups_members_list
team_groups_members_list_continue(cursor)
and I was expecting to obtain when calling the continue with the previous cursors, an empty list if there wasn't any changes in the groups or the members within a group but it doesn't seem to be working that way as it does with other methods such as
team_members_get_info
team_members_get_info_continue
however in team_members_get_info, I don't get new information when a member gets added to a group.
Does my problem make sense?

Dropbox Community ModeratorI'm not sure I quite follow your latest post. Using team_groups_list and team_groups_list_continue is the right way to list the groups on a team, and using team_groups_members_list and team_groups_members_list_continue is the right way to list the members of a group, but "team_members_get_info_continue" isn't a Dropbox API method. Was that a typo?
Perhaps you could share the relevant code snippet(s) of what you have so far to help illustrate?
Hi, I'm referring to the following API endpoints:
/members/list
/members/list/continue
/groups/list
/groups/list/continue
/groups/members/list
/groups/members/list/continue
At the moment I can call /members/list to get a list of all the members within Dropbox Business, and if I call /members/list/continue with the latest cursors and hasn't been any changes, it returns with a new cursor and has_more false, so my code can interpret that if there are no members returned when calling /members/list/continue, there hasn't been any changes to the list of members.
However this is not the case when I call the other endpoints (that considering that it is based on a cursor, I was expecting similar behaviour). I.e. when I call /groups/members/list giving it a group id, it returns a list of the members of the group and a cursor. When I use that cursor to call /groups/members/list/continue, it returns the same list even if there hasn't been any changes.
And same happens when calling /groups/list and /groups/list/continue.
Does it make sense now? Thanks in advance!
PS: in my posts before I was referring to the Python SDK

Thanks for following up and clarifying. The behavior of "use that cursor to call /groups/members/list/continue, it returns the same list even if there hasn't been any changes" doesn't sound like the expected behavior. It looks like that's a bug on these /2/team/groups/list/continue and /2/team/groups/members/list/continue endpoints. I'll ask the team to look into it and I'll follow up here once I have any updates to share.
Thank you Greg, this is almost a relief, as I wasn't sure if it was an issue with my understanding of the documentation.
I'll wait here for the answer 🙂
