Re: [has_more] => 1 (but there are no more files to retrieve)

[has_more] => 1 (but there are no more files to retrieve)

Hello, i found a problem on calling shared links, that i've finally resolve, with a further check after, but it is not clear to me (maybe it is normal). The App type is an App folder, in the dropbox test account there are more files, but are out of the dedicated APP folder.

A curl to get shared links, return

[has_more] => 1

and relative cursor.

But there are not more files to retrieve in true in the APP folder. So after a loop that i was not understanding, i found out that to avoid this false positive (as i want only shared links inside the Apps -> MylinkedAPPfoldername) i had to check that returned array links[]  of the second call, isn't an empty array.

Well, i could also prevent the second fake curl call (as the first return that there are more links, but instead there are not in the app folder) counting that the first returned array, is almost 200.

 

I'm wrong  in something, as +- ever!?

Thanks for the report! This is a known issue, but I don't have a timeline for a fix right now.

p.s to be more precise for who can read this:
a dbx curl call in this case (shared links), should return [has_more] => 1 if there are more than 200 files to retrieve. If there are not more files to retrieve, but the array contain by the way the
[has_more] => 1
by counting first returned result, checking that it contain at least 200 keys, we can be sure there are more files to retrieve ... well not completely sure because ....
we'll check that the next call, will not be maybe empty, in the case files to retrieve was exactly 200 ... mh maybe this can happen rarely ... but of course can happen, so better expect it. In this way, nothing can fail.

Hello Greg, it's not a big bug, as we can count with easy the first returned array!
It's really easy to fix. Thank you 😉
