Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I want to create a folder as soon as the user login in the app,
i tried the following function to create folder but i can see no folder is created..
I am calling this function after the login..
CreateFolder() { let args={ "path": "/Homework/math", "autorename": false } let headers = new Headers(); headers.append('Authorization','Bearer'+this.accessToken); headers.append('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify(args)); headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json'); console.log("created folder"); return this.http.post('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2-beta-2/files/create_folder',{headers:headers}); } }
dropboxlogin() { this.dropbox.login().then((success) => { this.navCtrl.push(DropboxloginPage); this.dropbox.CreateFolder(); this.showToast("folder created"); }, (err) => { console.log(err); }); }
I made the changes,but still I cannot find any folder created..I am getting the toast as alert created,but when I am opening the dropbox,I cannot find the new folder created...
CreateFolder() { let args={ "path": "/invoice", "autorename": false } //this.dropbox.filesCreateFolder(args); let headers = new Headers(); headers.append('Authorization','Bearer '+this.accessToken); headers.append('Dropbox-API-Arg', JSON.stringify(args)); headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json'); console.log("created folder"); return this.http.post('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2',{headers:headers}); } }
What response are you getting from the API though? You need to check the API response to see if the call succeeded or not.
Also, another thing I notice is that you're sending your parameters in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' header, but /2/files/create_folder_v2 is an RPC style endpoint, so your parameters should be sent as JSON in the request body.
