Get temporary links of multiple files at once
Hi,
Actually I'm trying to display the list of all images of a user that are available in dropbox. For this i'm now doing /files/list_folder to get all the files in the root and then /files/get_temporary_link to get the links of each files.
But the process is becoming so slow that i have to call the/files/get_temporary_link API for each image available. Is there any way to get all the temporary link of the images at once.
Thanks in advance

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to do this in bulk, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Hi Greg,
I am aware that this thread is about getting multiple templiks at once, and I'm assumming this also apply to getting multiple thumbnails as well, correct?
Thanks,

This thread was about getting temporary links in bulk, and didn't mention thumbnails. I see you've posted a new thread about this so I'll follow up there:
