Issue with userinfo API (400 Error)
Hello,
The userinfo API, which was working fine until yesterday, has suddenly stopped functioning. Every time I send a request to the API, I receive a 400 error.
Specifically, I am using the following endpoint:
Request URL: https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/openid/userinfo
Error message: 400 Bad Request
Response content: Error in call to API function "openid/userinfo": expected object, got null
I would like to know if this API has been deprecated or if there has been a change in its specifications. If there is any information regarding changes or deprecation, it would be very helpful. Additionally, any guidance on alternative methods or new API usage would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks for the report. We'll look into it.
It looks like sending "{}" (instead of "null") still works. Can you try sending "{}" instead of "null"?
Thank you for your reply.
I posted because I was unable to retrieve the username using the .Net SDK, which was previously working fine, and also could not retrieve it using the Dropbox API Explorer.

We've updated this to support passing in "null".
