    To retrieve the additional media information for a media file like this via API v2, call /2/files/get_metadata with include_media_info:true. If the media information is available for the file, it will be included in the FileMetadata.media_info in the response.

      No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't expose these additional fields, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. 

      If you want to retrieve this information, you'd need to download the file and parse out that data from the file.
