I am trying dropbox api. When i tried to list using 

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/list

i get empty response like 

{
"file_requests": [ ]
}

I tried using api explorer and postman. I verified that there are files in account. The app i am testing has full access. How do i get list of files using http api?

Hey @gauravsc,

It looks like you're using the "file_requests/list" endpoint - which will list any File Requests (a Dropbox feature that allows for content ingestion) but not any actual files.

The endpoint you're going to want to hit is files/list_folder:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-list_folder

Give that one a try - good luck!
