How to get all shared links in a folder?
For example if I have 5 files in folder /images, how list all the shared links? And I dont want to share the folder.
/images
1.jpg
2.jpg
...
5.jpg
I tried https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_shared_links
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links \ --header "Authorization: Bearer xxxx \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{ \"path\": \"/images\"}"
It cannot list all the shared links, it returns:
{"links": [], "has_more": false}
Thanks!

The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a way to retrieve all shared links for items inside a specific folder, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.
Using /2/sharing/list_shared_links with a specific path only "returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path", so you'd need to either:- call /2/sharing/list_shared_links once for each specific file, or
- not specify a path, and then do the filtering client-side for items under that path

Hey! Does Dropbox API have any changes? I wanna get downloadable link of items inside folders, Is it possible to get it in one API request? Currently I'm using get_shared_link_metadata endpoint and it works really long for the big amount of records because i should make request for each item.

kuznetsovvl No, unfortunately I don't have any changes to report for this feature request.
