Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
I am hitting dropbox API rate limit and I can see 429 status code, I know that dropbox rate limit is per user basis.
I just wanted to know the number, How many API calls are allowed per user per day.
Thanks,
Murali
Are you using /sharing/get_folder_metadata to get information on each shared folder? If so, you can instead use /sharing/list_folders[/continue] to list them all more efficiently.
Thanks Gregory,
This should help my use case, will check that.
Hello,
I am also hitting the rate limit. My application searches for zip files in a folder and extracts them. They contain thousand of tiny files which are uploaded one by one. This takes some hours with fast internet. Any ideas? Should I wait some time between the uploads or zip files? How long?
That is the error message:
INFO:dropbox:Request to files/upload
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:https://content.dropboxapi.com:443 "POST /2/files/upload HTTP/1.1" 429 None
INFO:dropbox:Ratelimit: Retrying in 15.0 seconds.
Kind Regards,
Chris
