Query Dropbox API with `select_user` URL parameter
Hi there!
So what I'm trying to do is query Dropbox using python's from dropbox import DropboxTeam's request_json_object API. I want to query the API path: files/list_folder.

First, note that you don't need to use `request_json_object` directly. You generally should use the native methods provided for each endpoint. In the official Dropbox Python SDK, for /2/files/list_folder, that would be `files_list_folder`.
And to set the the"Dropbox-API-Select-User" HTTP header when using the official Dropbox Python SDK, you should do so via the `DropboxTeam.as_user` method.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe methods for calling the API in the Dropbox Python SDK like files_list_folder don't offer the original JSON, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
You can transform the information in the returned native object, such as ListFolderResult for files_list_folder, however you wish. You'd need to write the code to do so though, e.g., to build some JSON.
Thanks, Greg for the clarification.
Will proceed accordingly. Hoping that the API is updated to return JSON serializable object soon!
