Re: Can I raise the maximum /list_revisions limit past 100?

Can I raise the maximum /list_revisions limit past 100?

I see in some places (maybe referring to API v1?) that the revision limit is 1000, but it appears to be only 100 now. Is there any way to raise the limit higher than 100?

Yes, you can set the `rev_limit` on the API v1 endpoint /revisions. The default is 10, max is 1,000. Documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers-v1/core/docs#revisions . Are you getting errors when trying to set the rev_limit to more than 100?

You can also do this with API v2's /files/list_revisions, using the `limit` parameter. Documentation: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_revisions

So, my understanding is, if I want to get over 100 revisions, I can't do it with API v2 (I get an error that it needs to be [1, 100]), but only with API v1?

That's correct, for API v2 /files/list_revisions, the max limit is currently 100. We'll make a note to add this to the documentation. There isn't currently a way to request more than that, but we'll consider that a feature request.
