API search access to shared folder
Hey there,
I'm working on a small utility using the dropbox API.
So far, I've been able to set up an App and used the files/search_v2 endpoint to locate specific files in the scoped app's...
The search endpoints don't support searching within a shared link, but you can use /2/files/list_folder[/continue] to list the contents (and filter client-side as needed) as you mentioned, so I suggest trying that to see if it would be sufficient for your use case.
To do so, you would specify the shared link URL in the 'shared_link.url' field. When doing so, the 'path' field would only be needed if you want to list a relative path for a specific subfolder inside the folder for which you're supplying the shared link.
I suggest trying the API v2 Explorer, as it's helpful for building calls like this.

Thanks for that!
I'll filter the list locally, which should be fine. Just more network traffic 🙂
