    <title>topic get_current_account API is strange and does not work with common-sense. in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/get-current-account-API-is-strange-and-does-not-work-with-common/m-p/155621#M5210</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;1. Content-Type header&lt;BR /&gt;Why does get_current_account API require 'application/json' as Content-Type header?&lt;BR /&gt;Even if there is no body to deliver.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As document mention that, get_current_account does not have any parameters.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-users-get_current_account" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation-users-get_current_account&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Moreover, POST method could configure Content-Type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' or else.&lt;BR /&gt;Thus, Dropbox does not return 400 status code and can handle Content-Type header depending on Content-Length header.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. null value of content body&lt;BR /&gt;Why does get_current_account API work with body contains "null" string value?&lt;BR /&gt;I don't understand why clients MUST deliver "null" value to call the API.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In the bottom line, Dropbox APIs have some points to improve.&lt;BR /&gt;First of all, APIs can accept any Content-Type values if the APIs do not require any contents.&lt;BR /&gt;Lastly, APIs do not require null value explicitly.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Here is debugging history in details.&lt;BR /&gt;================================================================================&lt;BR /&gt;POST &lt;A href="https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account" rel="nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Accept-Encoding:identity&lt;BR /&gt;Authorization:Bearer&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;REDACTED&amp;gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Connection:Keep-Alive&lt;BR /&gt;Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded&lt;BR /&gt;User-Agent:LibHttp/1.3.8&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;You can omit both the Content-Type header and the body when a method takes no argument. I just tested it:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;$ curl -v -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account -H "Authorization:Bearer &amp;lt;REDACTED&amp;gt;"&lt;BR /&gt;* Trying 108.160.172.205...&lt;BR /&gt;* Connected to api.dropboxapi.com (108.160.172.205) port 443 (#0)&lt;BR /&gt;* TLS 1.2 connection using TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384&lt;BR /&gt;* Server certificate: api.dropboxapi.com&lt;BR /&gt;* Server certificate: Go Daddy Secure Certificate Authority - G2&lt;BR /&gt;* Server certificate: Go Daddy Root Certificate Authority - G2&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt; POST /2/users/get_current_account HTTP/1.1&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt; Host: api.dropboxapi.com&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt; User-Agent: curl/7.43.0&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt; Accept: */*&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt; Authorization:Bearer&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;REDACTED&amp;gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;lt; HTTP/1.1 200 OK&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;lt; ...&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My guess would be that whatever tool/code you're&amp;nbsp;using to make the request is attaching a&amp;nbsp;non-empty body. If a body is present, it must be valid JSON (with a&amp;nbsp;correct Content-Type header).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Dear Steve,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for your quick reply!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And I think it is more compatible with RESTful concept that get_current_account and get_space_usage APIs support GET method, not POST.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Best regards&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Agreed. The Dropbox API, however, is not a RESTful API.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Gajanan, I'm not sure I understand your question. You shouldn't change anything in the URL... see &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation" rel="nofollow noreferrer"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http#documentation&lt;/A&gt; for details about the endpoint.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Really, why it does not support GET method?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It does not make any real sense to POST nothing.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Jan, API v2 isn't a REST API, and so doesn't conform to many REST patterns. You can find some more information on the design in the following blog posts:&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;This is not about REST.&amp;nbsp;Someone writes about "principle of least astonishment" in the blog but your new API was worst pain ever.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is like if&amp;nbsp;you went&amp;nbsp;to a post office to GET a package but you were&amp;nbsp;requested to POST some empty package to receive one.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>I had the same problem, I ended up setting ContentType to json and body to "null" and it worked. Strangely the same "netstandard" code was working on UWP and failing in Android, it looks the underlying http client is making something different.</description>
