How can I get the starred files via the API?

How can I get the starred files via the API?

I want to be able to copy starred files (mostly photos) into a new folder. Is there a way to access the data which represents the starred status of a file? I was assuming to find something like a boolean property is_starred: true but so far I can't find a way to do this.

I have thousands of photos and before I spend time starring them, I want to know if this is possible.

Any help would be much appreciated.

The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer the ability to get starred files, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

Any updates on this API. I need this as well (because there is no way to download all starred files or move them to one folder in one go).

@sparshgupta No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request.

Need more support?
