I see you're trying to access the contents of a folder in your "team space". By default, API calls operate in the "member folder" of the connected account, not the "team space". You can configure API calls to operate in the "team space" instead though. To do so, you'll need to set the "Dropbox-API-Path-Root" header. You can find information on this in the Team Files Guide. With the Python SDK, you would do so using the with_path_root method.
