Getting multiple thumbnails of multiple files at once ?
Is it possible to retrieve multiple thumbnails of multiple files at once ? I tried to make a request to https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch just like the guide from https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2014/01/retrieving-thumbnails/ but it doesnt' work and I'm not sure if I did it wrong or this end point is no longer supported.
I tried to make a get request to https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch?paths= /path/to/thumb0.jpg,/path/to/thumb1.jpg,[...],/path/to/thumbN.jpg but it showed 4xx error. Please advice if I missed anthing from this request.
Thank you

That isn't part of the public Dropbox API, which doesn't currently offer a bulk thumbnails call, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.- neunygphExplorer | Level 4Hi Greg,
Thanks for the quick response, I am aware that https://photos.dropbox.com/thumbnails_batch is not a public Dropbox API endpoint but is there a way or any public API end point to get multiple thumbnails at once ?
Thanks,- Greg-DB

No, the Dropbox API doesn't currently offer a way to get thumbnails in bulk.
