How to provide the Dropbox-API-Select-User HTTP header with python API
Hi ! I've generated access token for Business App, and tried to make simple request
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(my_token) dbx.files_list_folder(path).entries
But I got
dropbox.exceptions.BadInput...
Thanks for your reply. Everything works fine, but now I have another issue. All I need to list, write ... in TEAM shared folder, but when I use
self.dbx.files_list_folder(self.path).entries
I got ['Get Started with Dropbox Paper.url', 'Get Started with Dropbox.pdf'], which is my private folder content. So is there any way to access shared folder ?

Dropbox Community ModeratorBy default, API calls will operate in the private team member folder. It sounds like you want to access the team space though. To do so, you need to set the "path root" for the API call to be the team space.
I recommend reading the Namespace Guide, which covers this in detail.
In the Python SDK in particular, to specify a particular root, you should use with_path_root. For example:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")
or:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")
I got :: > dropbox.exceptions.PathRootError: PathRootError('2f7ac7e2ce9abb921272552f987f63b3', PathRootError('no_permission', None)),
when try to run this command, so for permission do I need to make business app?
self.dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("2")).files_list_folder("")
Actuall I have this structure, and all I need to do is work with shared ELEMENTS folder
Okay! I got that ! thanks for your support. Just in case someone has this issue too, here is my solution
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(my_token)
root_namespace_id = dbx.users_get_current_account().root_info.root_namespace_id
dbx = dbx.with_path_root(PathRoot.namespace_id(root_namespace_id))
