Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi Dropbox,
Based on the V2 docs for files/list_folder, it appears that passing
"include_media_info": true
should enable the MediaInfo photo metadata for image files. However in my tests so far I've only been able to see this metadata exposed in the API JSON response for JPEG files, not for PNGs or other image formats. (They lack any metadata entry at all, even the most basic information such as height/width.)
Is this a deliberate limitation of the API or is there some additional step needed to expose the MediaInfo photo metadata for PNGs, GIFs, etc.
Thank you
HI Matt, there's nothing additional you need to do beyond setting include_media_info parameter as you mentioned. Unfortunately, not all files/file types will yield media information though. I'll pass this along as a feature request for support for more types though.
