Error handling with /2/members/get_info and /2/team/groups/members/list

Hi,   Two distinct problems, but since they are similar, I figured I'd group them in the same post here.   /2/members/get_info If I supply a member id that doesn't exist this way: {     "membe...

    The 500 should also be fixed now. Please let us know if you're still seeing any issues.

Yeah sure, here's more details:

 

The Dropbox Business environment that we use for tests purposes has 3 groups as shown in the admin console or via the /2/team/groups/list API call.

 

One of these groups has "group_id": "g:57460cd2e2edd1cd000000000000001a". If I call /2/team/groups/members/list on this group id I get, as expected, a 200 with the members listed under the "members" token in the response body.

 

If instead, I use g:57460cd2e2edd1cd000000000000001b (which is not one of my three groups), I get this response:

Status 200 OK

{
    "members": [],
    "cursor": "someCursor",
    "has_more": false
}

 

In fact, I can change pretty much anything in last 16 characters of the group id and I get the same empty "members" list.

 

Hope this helps

    The issue of the incorrect 200 response with an empty members array should be fixed now. The issue of the 500 response is still being worked on, and should be fixed soon.

        Hello Greg,

         

        Just tested this and indeed I get a 409 every time, thanks for that. Strangely though, the body of the response is:

         

         

        {
  "error": "No matching groups found for g:57460cd2e2edd1cd00000000000001b."
}

         

         

        or 

         

         

        {
  "error": "Some groups are not on the team."
}

         

         

        Shouldn't it be in your standard format as specified in the APIv2 documentation?

         

        {
  "error_summary": "to/no_write_permission/..",
  "error": {
    ".tag": "to",
    "to": {
      ".tag": "no_write_permission"
    }
  }
} 

         Thanks for your input.
