Response headers
Hi,
With API v2, we can be able to access/retrieve response header from get_thumbnail request in order to retrieve "etag" and "dropbox-api-result". I just start using Dropbox SDK from http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/global.html#FilesThumbnailArg__anchor and I was trying to get the response header but look like there is no way for me to access response header from "DropBox.filesGetThumbnail()".
Just wonder if there is a way to do it with the SDK
Thanks,
- Yes, if there have been any changes to the file, the rev will be different.

The JavaScript SDK doesn't expose these directly. Instead, the information from the filesGetThumbnail response is translated into a JavaScript object for you. Likewise, the etag value is available as the "rev" metadata.
- Hello Greg,
So that mean we can use the rev value as an etag to check if the file has been modified since the last request, is that correct ?
Thanks, - Greg-DBYes, if there have been any changes to the file, the rev will be different.
Oh I see, thank you.
