When trying to list folder contents, error happens
Hello,
New to Dropbox API.
I can create folders and files, but when I try to list the contents of a folder, I get an error message. I'm particularly interested in getting the contents of...
I see you're supplying a folder path and not a shared link and are using app authentication on this /2/files/list_folder call, which can cause this 'path/unsupported_content_type' error.
When using app authentication, that is, with the app key and secret instead of an access token, you do not have access to an account directly. Using app authentication with /2/files/list_folder is instead meant for accessing the contents of a shared link.
So, you would need to either supply ashared_linkon the /2/files/list_folder call, or switch to using user authentication, that is, with an access token for an account.
Yes rohitkmk, by default your user folder could be accessed only. Did you set 'Dropbox-API-Path-Root' header to change this? (your headers stay invisible on the screenshot) If not, try it. 😉
Good luck.
Hi Здравко, I am using automated connector in a 3rd Party Application which uses these APIs . I cannot add Dropbox-API-Path-Root in request header in the actual connector, so I wanted to check if we use App created by Admin to call this API, would I get to see all folders present in the workspace using list folder API call. Could you please help?
