filesListRevisions on version 10.23.0 Javascript SDK throws 409 code error
I'm trying to get modified_by info for deleted file via filesListRevisions, after I get changes with filesListFolderContinue or filesListFolderGetLatestCursor. I sometimes get 409 code error. How can I figure this out? Or is there any alternative way to get modified_by info for deleted file. Thanks.
Javascript SDK Version = 10.23.0;

I see you're getting a 'path/not_file' error, which indicates that the path you're supplying to filesListRevisions is not for a file. The filesListRevisions functionality only supports files, not folders. Make sure you're only passing in file paths when calling filesListRevisions. (The filesListFolder* methods will list both files and folders.)
I got it. Actually, I want to get latest changes and if there is a deleted file (not folder), I need to learn who did it. I'm getting latest changes with filesListFolderContinue. After that, I'm trying to get modefied_by info with filesListRevisions because filesListFolderContinue doesn't return sharing_info and type (folder or file) for deleted . And also, I have noticed that filesListRevisions returns modified_by of deleted for lastest uploader/changer, not for deleter. How can I figure my case out?

Unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to look up which account deleted a file like that, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
