Urgent Dropbox API V2 2/files/list_folder/continue

[syedsaadabbasi]

Suddenly I am not getting any changed set details from server. I have uploaded new folders and files in once specific folder but 2/files/list_folder/continue always returning me null entries.

This is working properly for me. I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:

- the name and version of the platform and SDK/library you are using
- the steps to reproduce the issue
- the full text of any error or output
- the relevant code snippet(s)

Hello Greg 

Thank you for your prompt response. I am amazed that its working now. Can you please guide me how much time it would take to fetch changeset details from dropbox because sometimes it fetches quickly and sometimes it takes our breath away by not fetching files on time.
This is my piece of code which execute after every 5 minutes to get changes from server.

  var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://api.dropbox.com/2/files/list_folder/continue");
                httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
                httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization: Bearer " + GeneratedAccessToken);
                httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";

                using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
                {
                    string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(new { cursor = cursor_ });
                    streamWriter.Write(json);
                }
                string responseBody = "";
                var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
                using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
                {
                    var result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
                    responseBody = result;
                }

Did you set include_media_info=true on /2/files/list_folder (not /continue) when you called it to retrieved the cursor initially? If you requested media information, there can be a delay before new entries will be returned (including from /continue), while the media information is being extracted. If not, the entries should be available almost immediately.
