      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi all&lt;BR /&gt;We need clients store files, so dev team can get the url of those images and consume them in our event sites&lt;BR /&gt;we make a bunch of requests to get that resource (for medium or large events)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;These are our questions:&lt;BR /&gt;1.- can we the files with certain prefix using the api?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2.- can we use the url of those files we get using the api in our websites?&lt;BR /&gt;(like background images, icons, etc) in other words storing in dropbox and calling the images in our sites? something like:&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;lt;img id="session-image" src="some-dropbox-url/resources/clientid-eventid-pageid-2022.jpg"&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3.- Will dropbox start to meter or cut off those requests?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4.- Is there a difference between individual and corporate accounts using the Dev API?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

&lt;P&gt;1.- can we the files with certain prefix using the api?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm not sure I understand this question. I think you may have accidentally left out a word or two in this sentence. Can you clarify? Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2.- can we use the url of those files we get using the api in our websites?&lt;BR /&gt;(like background images, icons, etc) in other words storing in dropbox and calling the images in our sites? something like:&lt;BR /&gt;&amp;lt;img id="session-image" src="some-dropbox-url/resources/clientid-eventid-pageid-2022.jpg"&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API offers the ability to get temporary links to files via &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link" target="_self"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;/2/files/get_temporary_link endpoint&lt;/A&gt;, but these are not meant for displaying content in the browser directly. I'll pass this along as a feature request for some sort of thumbnail link functionality, for instance,&amp;nbsp;but I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. That being the case, you'd probably want to download the content or a thumbnail to your server, via&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/download&lt;/A&gt; or&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_thumbnail" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/get_thumbnail_v2&lt;/A&gt;, respectively, and serve the data from there.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3.- Will dropbox start to meter or cut off those requests?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but we don't have any specific numbers documented. Also 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;
&lt;P&gt;There are also bandwidth limits on links. You can find &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/banned-links" target="_self"&gt;more information on that here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4.- Is there a difference between individual and corporate accounts using the Dev API?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Any kind of&amp;nbsp;Dropbox account can use the&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API file endpoints. Note that some&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Business plans are subject to data transport limits on uploads though, as &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/data-transport-limit" target="_self"&gt;noted here&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for clarifying! The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to search/list files with names containing a certain prefix in particular, but you could use the&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/list_folder&lt;/A&gt;[&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder-continue" target="_self"&gt;/continue&lt;/A&gt;] and/or&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-search" target="_self"&gt;/2/files/search_v2&lt;/A&gt; endpoints to list or search for files, and filter the results client-side as desired.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
