Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hey All.
I'm attempting to fetch an HTML preview for a CSV file using the `/get_preview` endpoint. Unfortunately I'm receiving back an `unsupported_extension` error. Maybe my understanding is wrong? Appreciate any suggestions.
Reviewed the following documentation:
Dropbox `get_preview` Documentation
Curl request using 'get_preview' resulting in error:
vagrant@vagrant:$ curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_preview \ --header "Authorization: Bearer [truncated]" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/items/24157/18365.catalog-items.csv\"}" {"error_summary": "unsupported_extension/", "error": {".tag": "unsupported_extension"}}
Curl request using 'download' resulting in success:
vagrant@vagrant:$ curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download \ --header "Authorization: Bearer [truncated]" \ --header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/items/24157/18365.catalog-items.csv\"}" "created_at", "currency", "description", "discountable", "id", "metadata", "name", "object", "taxable", "taxes", "type", "unit_cost" {...} "1546048185", "usd", "Overpayment on order after adjustments", "", "overpayment-reconciliation", "", "OVERPAYMENT RECONCILIATION", "catalog_item", "", "", "", "0"
My understanding is that the API should return HTML data when requesting CSV files from the 'get_preview' endpoint.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the report! This looks like a bug on our side. We're looking into it and I'll let you know when we have an update on it.
Morning @Greg-DB
Just following up to see if DB has had an opportunity to look into this issue.
Thanks

@ozdev This is open with engineering, but I don't have an update on it yet. I'll follow up here once I do.
This should be fixed now. Please try again and let me know if you're still seeing any issues.
Greg, thank you. I've just got this task moved into the pipeline. I'll report back when it's been re-evaluated (& hopefully pushed!)
Best
