get_shared_link_file returns HTTP error 503
Hello,
I got a list of received files from list_received_files.
Then I'm trying to download a received file by using preview_url via get_shared_link_file :
import requests
import json
url = "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file"
headers = {
"Authorization": "Bearer ***********************************************",
"Dropbox-API-Arg": "{\"url\":\"https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dmy73e4jb4356xpe02hd7/simpleFile-3.txt?dl=0\"}"
}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers)Bur for some reason this request always returns HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable).
Could you please clarify what is the reason?

This is a known issue on our side when attempting to download from this kind of link using the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint.
I don't have a timeline for a fix unfortunately, but I'll follow up here once I have any news.
Hi,
I have the same issue, any update on the resolution?
Thanks- Greg-DB
No, unfortunately I don't have an update on this.

This should be fixed now. Please try this with /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file again and let me know if you're still seeing any issues.
