I am getting invalid_url again and again with /save_url, https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/save_url
Hi, I have an app that uses https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/save_url/save_url endpoint to save urls from my ecommerce store to my dropbox. It was working fine early on locally bu as soon as I ha...

ABDUL Salam, to be honest, I don't know why did you received exactly that error, but your path is definitely invalid (in the second case). In Dropbox whatever path you use must NOT end in slash and when we're talking for file path, it should include filename too - something missing in your case. Fix it.
Good luck.
Здравко It was a typo mistake (second case) I have fixed it.
Hm..🤔 I just checked it and everything seems valid. In first case I received:
{ ".tag": "complete", "name": "#1135_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps", "path_lower": "/2023/november/#1135/golf-p-we-au-black/#1135_golf-p-we-au-black.eps", "path_display": "/2023/November/#1135/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/#1135_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps", "id": "id:ElL7W-JPrdMAAAAAAABbFw", "client_modified": "2023-11-28T09:48:28Z", "server_modified": "2023-11-28T09:48:29Z", "rev": "60b335227a2e322ab554a", "size": 82890, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "e84f56b1b7802b8cc4be23d765222a27b7286852f672a077c918f82b9cbae0e7" }Of course, It appears as expected:
The same when talking for the second case (after your typo correction):
{ ".tag": "complete", "name": "#1134_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps", "path_lower": "/2023/november/#1134/golf-p-we-au-black/#1134_golf-p-we-au-black.eps", "path_display": "/2023/November/#1134/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/#1134_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps", "id": "id:ElL7W-JPrdMAAAAAAABbEg", "client_modified": "2023-11-28T09:42:34Z", "server_modified": "2023-11-28T09:42:35Z", "rev": "60b333d0821f622ab554a", "size": 251734, "is_downloadable": true, "content_hash": "80b133e0c090344bf04204c78b396fac3ef591122cd343ffd1722b7db8c82ab0" }To be able see "what is actually going through the wire" you need to inspect the actual queries (not just your logs). It's easy using netcat runing on your local machine and directing your queries there (replacing https://api.dropboxapi.com with http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:8080). Here "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" is you public IP address and 8080 appropriate port to listen on. I suppose you know how to redirect such a query. In such a way you can see exactly what's going out of your code and what's wrong (not just supposings).
Good luck.

ABDUL Salam Like Здравко, I just tried this using the values you provided and it also worked without issue for me. If you're still seeing this issue, please check the exact values you're sending as they mentioned, and if there's an issue on the Dropbox API side, share a sample we can use to reproduce it. Thanks!
Listening on 0.0.0.0 8080 Connection received on DN-12 57 POST /2/files/save_url HTTP/1.1 Host: MY_IP:8080 Accept: */* Authorization: Bearer sl.<tokenhere> Content-Type: application/json Content-Length: 174 {"path":"/2023/November/#1138/GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK/#1138_GOLF-P-WE-AU-BLACK.eps","url":"https://cdn.customily.com/ExportFile/pf-dev-3/a79b3bc0-80a1-4e48-aae7-eab0edd4b54d.eps"}this is what I got after running netcat on my local machine and redirecting queries to my local system.
