Dropbox V2 error 429 when creating empty folders using create_folder_v2 API
I am using dropbox business account for creating folders in dropbox using create_folder_v2 API. But sometimes it does not create the folder and gives the below error. This issue is intermittent.
response code when uploading a folder to dropbox[429] and response headers [{Connection=[keep-alive], Content-Disposition=[attachment; filename='error'], Content-Security-Policy=[sandbox; frame-ancestors 'none'], Content-Type=[application/json], Date=[Mon, 12 Oct 2020 01:13:02 GMT], Retry-After=[1], Server=[nginx], Transfer-Encoding=[chunked], X-Content-Type-Options=[nosniff], X-Dropbox-Request-Id=[f7703b59bd8aedca9686eb7c00570917], X-Envoy-Upstream-Service-Time=[433], X-Frame-Options=[DENY]}]
But if I use the same folder path and tries to create the folder using Dropbox API explorer https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer , it just works fine.
Please suggest what to do in this case.
Thanks
Richa

Can you print out the response body itself? (The output here is just the headers.) The body should contain a more useful error.
