Get List of files
I am using the DropBox API to retrieve the list of files in my account.
But it returns the following:
{"file_requests": [], "cursor": "AADerDxM8V_QQRJQgZRYpGTqYBnD8wSl2InNNU0QJnXZgPapKCqPSJIurqgKVUSCSeixo2HSYVRqM-KAs_FrYmeJ8XPOe67op6xH95mDljNf56FIcs-jD1XDYjHi1ARHhAbS6G89E7ir_BrHZIF5rwZIY94cKTR6yMSio1VLx5eqLg", "has_more": false}
This despite having multiple files.
This is the code (I'm using PowerBuilder 2019 R2):
Thanks in advacne
The /2/file_requests/list_v2 endpoint is for listing 'file requests', not actual files. (A "file request" is a way to receive files from other people.)
To list files, you should instead use /2/files/list_folder[/continue].

Maybe I didn't explain myself, I'm trying to retrieve all the file list from my account.
It changes to the instruction files/list_folder but it marks the following error:Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": This function requires its argument in the HTTP request body, but your request body is empty.

Yes, using /2/files/list_folder[/continue] is the right way to list the files in an account. To list every file, you would set the 'path' parameter to the empty string "" (not "/"), and set 'recursive' to true.
The error you're getting indicates that the call failed because the HTTPS request body was empty, instead of containing the expected parameters. I see from your code that you are attempting to set the body via the 'SetBody' method, but that's apparently not actually getting sent to the server.
I can't provide support for the Appeon PowerBuilder environment or OAuthClient/OAuthRequest/ResourceResponse classes themselves as they aren't made by Dropbox though, so I recommend referring to the documentation for those for information on how to configure/debug HTTPS requests like this.
