list_shared_links from folder
Hi.
On the API says "If a non-empty path is given, returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path"
I have a folder with 5 files and 3 of them has a shared link
When i ask for list_shared_links and pass the path to this folder the result is empty.
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer my-key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"path":"/myfolder"}'On the API it show this example
{
"path": "/Homework/Math"
}
So it is possible, but i get this.
{
"links": [],
"has_more": false
}
When i let the data empty show all the links that i have shared, in all folders.

That path parameter isn't a filter, exactly. Rather, the documentation also says:
"If a non-empty path is given, returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path. "
That means that calling for /myfolder won't list links for /myfolder/myfile. It will only list links for anything that allows access to /myfolder itself (either links for /myfolder specifically, or for parents of /myfolder.)
If you want to get the existing links for the contents of /myfolder, you'll need to iterate through the contents and call list_shared_links for each one.
ok, that's exactly what i ended up doing.
thanks.
