events followed by api request

[Saar A.]

hey,

when I post download or get_preview request I get the content that I asked for, but I can't get event back. Is there anything to do about it?

[Greg-DB]

I'm not sure I understand your question. What "event" exactly are you looking for from these API calls?

[Saar A.]

I'm looking to get download file event for example as response when I use log\get_events after the request

[Greg-DB]

I see, thanks for clarifying. The /1/team/log/get_events endpoint doesn't return events for API calls like this. From the documentation, these events are only reported for the web app:

files    download_files        Download files from the webapp
files    preview_files        Preview files from the webapp

thanks for the clarification. What about edit file or restore file?
Any time I edit file I recieve add_file and for restore file I get revert to previous revision. Any idea what to do?

[Greg-DB]

Can you share the specific steps to reproduce these issues, and some sample output showing them? Thanks in advance!

[Saar A.]

Of course.

First, I realized that for editing a file I need to upload it with certain writeMode. I chose update(I assume that the rev is correct so I won't have any conflict).

Post https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload

Dropbox-API-Select-User: dbmid:AACQ8S3d39L9O3hcbMb9V1emEp31fZAwge8
Connection: close
Authorization: Bearer <redacted>
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Host: content.dropboxapi.com
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_101)
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/test1.txt"}

Next I will edit it by using upload with this arguments(got last rev by get_metadata):

Dropbox-API-Select-User: dbmid:AACQ8S3d39L9O3hcbMb9V1emEp31fZAwge8
Connection: close
Authorization: Bearer <redacted>
Content-Length: 4
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Host: content.dropboxapi.com
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.5.2 (Java/1.8.0_101)
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/test1.txt", "mode":{".tag":"update", "update":"e2e31fbcd7b"}}

This is the 2 events I get in return(I deleted irrelevant fields):

{\"event_type\": \"add_files\", \"info_dict\": {\"actor_app_id\": 706966, \"is_dir\": false, \"file_id\": \"id:iyTVkdn9p0YAAAAAAAAG-Q\", \"host_id\": 3469059452, \"path\": \"/test1.txt\"}, \"event_type_description\": \"Added files\", \"event_category\": \"files\", \"time\": \"2016-10-27T05:01:13+00:00\",},

{\"event_type\": \"add_files\", \"info_dict\": {\"actor_app_id\": 706966, \"is_dir\": false, \"file_id\": \"id:iyTVkdn9p0YAAAAAAAAG-Q\", \"path\": \"/test1.txt\"},  \"event_type_description\": \"Added files\", \"event_category\": \"files\", \"time\": \"2016-10-27T05:05:21+00:00\"}

Thanks, that's helpful! We'll look into it.

By the way, I've redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should revoke that access token. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirel, here:

https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/team_apps

(Note that that will revoke all access tokens for that team-app pair.)

Thanks!

By the way I have fimiliar problem with restore, I keep getting revert events
