Dropbox /1/team/log/get_events is giving events except category "files"

[Sophia S.3]

Before V1 deprecated API user to give information about all the categories. After it is deprecated I am not able see events for files category. Please provide more information about the same. Is the API /1/team/log/get_events call restricted to provide events on files or some bug is stopping me to get information about files.

My request does not has any category filter.

request body:

"start_ts" : 1469603296000
}

Thanks,

Thanks Gregory,

Yes for the first time I am still using '/2/files/list_folder' to list all the files. If I want to get any changes done later in the app, using API /2/files/list_folder/continue, for each user in the team I have to do a API call to get list of files modified and '/1/team/log/get_events' to get all other changes.

With the API /1/team/log/get_events, If we get all the changes it would really help to reduce API calls I am doing.

Hey,

I checked it today for the files uploaded by a non team member. I am seeing events for the files. Thanks for the update.

The response I am seeing here for the file event is

{
"event_type": "add_files",
"member_id": null,
"info_dict": {
"host_id": 1,
"is_dir": false,
"file_id": "id:*********PAAAAAAAAAABw",
"path": "/external/test.txt"
},
"ip_address": "*********",
"user_id": null,
"name": "***@gmail.com",
"country": "IN",
"event_type_description": "Added files",
"event_category": "files",
"time": "2016-09-15T13:09:18+00:00",
"email": "***@gmail.com"
}

Here both member_id, user_id is null, How do I get file's metadata here?

If you know what team member's account has the shared folder, you can use member file access to call /2/files/get_metadata for that file ID.

The event log unfortunately doesn't currently indicate which member(s) have that shared folder though, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request too.

Thanks you,

Here I am firing API call across the team, So I have no clue which team member have that shared folder.

Thanks,
