Dropbox Community ModeratorAre you seeing this for all accounts, or does this only seem to affect specific account(s)? If it's only affecting specific ones, please open an API ticket and share the account IDs for reference. Also, does the call eventually time out, and if so, what output do you get? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for your prompt reply.
It's not affect specific account(s) but for all accounts.
we use the same access token by
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_space_usage --header "Authorization: Bearer <access token>
The dropbox server return right result.
and we use upload API
https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload
The dropbox server return 200 ok.
but only use API
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_space_usage
The dropbox server have no reponse.
we wait for a long long time . there is nothing output .
PS. we use curl lib API send post.
- Greg-DBThanks for the additional information. Since this is affecting all accounts, and the same endpoint works when using curl directly on the command line, it sounds like this is specific to how it's being called in your script using the curl lib API.
Can you share that script that has the issue so we can use it to reproduce the issue here? Thanks!static const char *DROPBOX_GET_CAPITY = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_space_usage";
static int dropbox_get_capity(const char *access_token)
{
char buffer[BUFF_SIZE] = {0};
long httpCode = 0;
CURLcode res;
if(!access_token)
return -1;
if (curl) {
struct curl_slist *headers = NULL; /* init to NULL is important */
snprintf(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "Authorization: Bearer %s", access_token);
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, buffer);
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: ");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, DROPBOX_GET_CAPITY);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, get_capity_cb);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1L);
/* Perform the request, res will get the return code */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1L); // thread safe requirement
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl); // will block here!!!
/* Check for errors */
if(res != CURLE_OK) {
fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &httpCode);
printf(" \nerr code httpcode == %ld \n", httpCode);
}
if (res == CURLE_OK) {
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE, &httpCode);
printf(" \nhttpcode == %ld \n", httpCode);
}
curl_slist_free_all(headers);
}
return (int)httpCode;
}if you need more code . I will share it. Thanks.

Thanks! That's helpful. It looks like curl is waiting for the request body. Since this API call doesn't require one, you need to tell curl that, like this:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, 0);Or, you can send the JSON "null" in the body instead:
headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: application/json"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "null");
