Get shared link already exists

 

Hello Dropbox,

                I am interesting to get a Share Url from file though Java Api 2.0.1. First of all I use

SharedLinkMetadata var =client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings("my path")

to create the share link for mypath file. How I can get the already exist shared url to this file? I am trying the same thing and I take Exception shared link already exists.

 

Appreciate your help.

    I think calling /sharing/list_shared_links with the path to the file you're interested in and direct_only=true is the best way to do this.

    In Java, I believe that would be:

    ListSharedLinksResult result = client.sharing().listSharedLinksBuilder()
        .withPath("my path").withDirectOnly(true).start();
