Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Please let us know the equivalent for API v2 of /1/metadata/link.
There are countless reasons why this functionality is important for your API -- which you hopefully already know, otherwise I don't know how /1/metadata/link got made in the first place.
If you need stats, a more detailed request or whatever, please let me know.
June 28 is rapidly approaching and us native mobile developers need LOTS of lead time. Even if I could develop the API v2 version in a heartbeat, fastest release time is almost a week in my world.
@jczorkmid I don't have an update on this right now. This would certainly be a legitimate reason to ask for an exception though, so please feel free to do so, as above, if you haven't already.
Also, to determine if the result is for a file or folder, you can check the ".tag" value in the response from /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata. If you're using an SDK, that would be translated into the native type for the response object.
Thanks Greg. I submitted a request for an exception. Also, thanks for the pointer on the link type. I'm using python and I hadn't immediately noticed it was a different class based on if it was a file or directory.
@jczorkmid I don't actually see a ticket from you. Did you use https://www.dropbox.com/developers/contact and see the green confirmation banner when you submitted it? Would you mind trying again? Thanks, and apologies for the bother.
@Greg-DB I just now saw this comment from you. Since it had continued to work I figured I was in the clear. Whoops.
I filled out the form again, and I did see the green banner for sure this time.
@jczorkmid No problem, I see your ticket now, so we'll follow up there. Thanks!
