Hi dnaz,

To get image or video media info in metadata you need to call /2/files/get_metadata endpoint. The media info is not supported on other endpoints for number of years already.

Hope this helps.

      I just tried for an arbitrary image and its as follows (a bit shortened for clarity):

       

      > POST /2/files/get_metadata
> Host: https://api.dropboxapi.com
> User-Agent: api-explorer-client
> Authorization: Bearer ***********valid*access*token********
> Content-Type: application/json
> 
> {"path":"/IMG_20230616_150044.jpg","include_media_info":true}

< HTTP/2 200 
< content-type: application/json
< server: envoy
< content-length: 568
< 
< {".tag": "file", "name": "IMG_20230616_150044.jpg", "path_lower": "/img_20230616_150044.jpg", "path_display": "/IMG_20230616_150044.jpg", "id": "id:ElL7W-JPrdMAAAAAAABaqQ", "client_modified": "2023-06-16T12:01:28Z", "server_modified": "2023-06-16T12:01:29Z", "rev": "5fe3df1f1b42b22ab554a", "size": 1649795, "media_info": {".tag": "metadata", "metadata": {".tag": "photo", "dimensions": {"height": 4000, "width": 1840}, "time_taken": "2023-06-16T15:00:44Z"}}, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "a373008e6d8daf0d0823cd623d38a949548d26d08f42a779cbf8ebde12c213cc"}

       

       As can be seen both width and height are there. What exactly doesn't work for you?

}
