    The /2/files/list_folder endpoint expects an object for 'shared_link', with a key 'url' and optionally a key 'password'. So, it should look like this:

    curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder \
        --header "Authorization: Bearer <<my_app_token>>" \
        --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
        --data "{\"path\": \"\",\"shared_link\":{\"url\":\"https://www.dropbox.com/sh/doxhqxkjtiahkns/AADHM1f9uaFGLQHgtERCiLcna\"},\"recursive\": false,\"include_media_info\": false,\"include_deleted\": false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\": false,\"include_mounted_folders\": true}"

    I recommend using the API v2 Explorer to help build these.
