    <description>&lt;P&gt;That error indicates that you're hitting a rate limit, so you'd need to catch that error and have your app wait before trying again.&amp;nbsp;The Dropbox API has a rate limiting system in order to protect against high rates of calls.&amp;nbsp;Note that not all 429s and 503s indicate explicit rate limiting, but in any case that you get a 429 or 503 the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Get metadata for batch of files</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Does anyone know how to get metadata for a batch of files?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm querying the files via &lt;EM&gt;"list_folder" / "list_folder/continue"&lt;/EM&gt; but since December 2, 2019 it doesn't return &lt;EM&gt;"media_info"&lt;/EM&gt;. The question is how to get metadata for these files (especially &lt;EM&gt;"media_info-&amp;gt;time_taken"&lt;/EM&gt;)? E.g. if &lt;EM&gt;"list_folder"&lt;/EM&gt; has returned 500 files how can I get this data for all of them? 500 separate requests to "get_metadata" look a little bit overwhelming.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there is any other way?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately there isn't a batch way to get metadata&amp;nbsp;with media info,&amp;nbsp;but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for the information. But how to deal with &lt;EM&gt;`API rate limit error: too_many_requests`&lt;/EM&gt; in this case?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
