How to get last modified date for folders in Dropbox V2 API ?

Hi, I am trying migrate from v1 to v2 and get to the user's root folder and view all the list of files and folders with last modified date. I am passing "https://api.dropbox.com/2/files/list_folder"...

It's meaningless if you are using direct API calls or some SDK. You should be able access the same features anyhow (to the discussed context, at least).

Regarding timestamps of folders, I just selected this folder and it shows me this info ...

😁Don't mess you local folder properties with those available throughout Dropbox website! 😉 What's on your screenshot?! Is it dropbox.com content?! 🤔😜 Your local folder will always have properties like any other local folder (either in sync by hand or using Dropbox app). Those properties are not in sync (they are no object of sync)! Till some future moment when this will change.

Hope this clarifies matter.

 

Edit: Oh... Sorry! There really are such "Modified" labels. You can easy see that they are incorrect. Looks like those moments are derived calculations... anyway - unusable.

I seems to be derived, indeed.
