Hi John, can you elaborate on what you mean when you say it "fails to work"? What error are you getting?

The get_shared_link_metadata functionality in the API Explorer seems to be working for me:

Can you share the code and error, or a screenshot showing the issue?

Note that if you want to download the file content, you can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file if it's a link to a file, or modify the link as shown here and download from the modified link directly, for either folder or file links.
