This error message indicates that your app does not have the required scope for accessing that endpoint. For /2/file_requests/count, the required scope is "file_requests.read".

 

Also, note that the /2/file_requests/count endpoint is for getting the count of "file requests", not actual files. The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to just retrieve the total number of files in an account, but you can list and count them using /2/files/list_folder[/continue].
