Hello,

 

I am currently using the ajaz call below to achieve what I need but am still facing issues.

 

$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata',
data: "{\"include_deleted\":false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\":false,\"include_media_info\":false,\"path\":\""}",
contentType: "application/json",
beforeSend: function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer ***")
}, success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
})
