nil cursor never returned

Moved to the API forum.

Mark, can you share a sample response or two that's giving you trouble? Thanks in advance! 

Sure, this is what I get returned, again and again and again.

Body: Optional({"links": [{".tag": "file", "url": "https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2a989i8yfmmmvw/acme2048A.001.png?dl=0", "id": "id:piyP0EHNIGAAAAAAAAAAAQ", "name": "acme2048A.001.png", "path_lower": "/slidestack/acme2048a/acme2048a.001.png", "link_permissions": {"resolved_visibility": {".tag": "public"}, "requested_visibility": {".tag": "public"}, "can_revoke": true}, "client_modified": "2016-05-19T18:39:07Z", "server_modified": "2016-05-19T18:39:08Z", "rev": "1848bb52c3", "size": 62002}], "has_more": true, "cursor": "eyJwcm9nIjogIjE0NjM2ODQ4NzEiLCAic2lnIjogIkFaTTRTLUJ6ajE1Q1U2aUluRVJ6dUdjSXlWTkplVDdjYXd3Ty1BQW55bHdReVEifQ"})

The time shown here 18:39 is roughly the time it broke I suspect. My code resubmits list sharing links with this cursor and gets back the same cursor, we never move ahead?

Just tried it again this morning, now 06:27 so almost 12 hours later and it behaves the same way.

Thanks, that's helpful! We're looking into it.

I can't offer a timeline for a fix right now, so you may want to detect this scenario (e.g., based on the repeated cursor and has_more=true) to work around it for now.

Maybe a clue, was testing an app I written that uses shares; I had created around 800+ @ that point, changed the code yesterday morning to work around it, going to try it this morning perhaps, maybe put in your fix Gregory, a good suggestion. 

I started seeing this in my application. Can you please provide a timeline/date for this fix. 

No update or timeline for this right now.

Again seeing this feature. Wrote a PERL script that gets around it, using Greg's suggestion.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use JSON;

use Data::Dumper;

$preheat = `curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links  --header "Authorization: Bearer ab-YourAUTH"  --header "Content-Type: application/json"  --data "{}"`;

$pcursor = $cursor = ";

do {

$pcursor = $cursor;

$text = decode_json($preheat);

print  Dumper($text);

$cursor = $text->{'cursor'};

#print "[$pcursor] [$cursor]\n";

if ($cursor ne $pcursor) {

$paras = "\\\"cursor\\\":\\\"$cursor\\\";

$cmd = "curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links  --header \"Authorization: Bearer ab-YourAUTH\"  --header \"Content-Type: application/json\"  --data \"{$paras}\";

$preheat = `$cmd`;

} else {

$cursor = ";

}

} until ($cursor eq ");
