Error Summaries

[Naga Abhinaya T]

Hi,

Is there any documentation available, for list of error codes and the sample error responses? This will be helpful to handle errors and Exception. Thanks in advance

Yes, we have documentation for each of our official SDKs, as well as the HTTP interface itself.

Hi Greg,

That was useful. However I am using REST APIs only to access Dropbox data of the authenticated users. I need sample error responses like

{  

   "error_summary":"path/malformed_path/",

   "error":{  

      "reason":{  

         ".tag":"malformed_path"

      },

      "upload_session_id":"",

      ".tag":"path"

   }

}

This is one possible error response and there are many such error responses that can happen. Is there a complete docuemntation of possible errors and their error response?

[Greg-DB]

The documentation covers every possible error, but it doesn't include full sample JSON for each one. I'll be sure to pass this along as feedback.

Greg,

The documentation covers every possible error codes and not errors. I could not find the "malformed_path" error in any of the documentations. Is there any documentation listing the possible errors and their error_messages. If possible, can you add these details to the documentation?

[Greg-DB · Accepted solution]

The documentation does cover each error message, but note that errors are nested, so you need to click through to expand the ones you want to read about.

For example, to see the `malformed_path` error (and others) for /2/files/get_metadata, click on the `LookupError` type listed for the `path` error in the "ERRORS" section.
