create_shared_link_with_settings randomly crapping out after several calls

[Gregory Q.]

I'm getting random returned path errors today making calls to: 

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings

These worked fine for the past 6 months - is there maintenance going on today?

[TaylorKrusen]

No maintenance currently going on. 

Could you please share the relevant code that is producing the errors and we can try to help solve the issue with you?

Hi @TaylorKrusen,

create_shared_link_with_settings is currently returning shared_link_already_exists error yet on listing the links it lists the file's parent folder as the already existing link.. This was working fine till I checked today and it has broken my app...Please look into why it is now not possible to create_shared_link_with_settings for a file whose parent folder already has a shared link, thanks

@Developer_ I just gave this a try and it seems to be working correctly for me. Can you share some sample calls/output showing the issue so we can take a closer look?

Also, so that we don't spam the original author on this thread (they seemed to be asking about different "path" errors anyway), please open a new thread with details, or if open an API ticket here if you'd prefer to share privately. Thanks in advance!
