curl --location 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team_log/get_events' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {token}' \
--data '{
"event_type": "file_edit",
"limit": 1000,
"time": {
"start_time": "2025-07-08T00:00:56Z"
}
}'Using cursor I navigate each page with the below API
curl --location 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team_log/get_events/continue' \
