This error is indicating that the value you're sending in the "Dropbox-API-Arg" header isn't valid JSON. In your code, you're setting "Dropbox-API-Arg" to "response.data.entries[i].id", which isn't JSON. It's just a string with the ID for a file.
You can see an example of what this is supposed to be in the documentation for /2/files/get_thumbnail. You probably mean to do something like this:
'Dropbox-API-Arg': JSON.stringify({"path": response.data.entries[i].id}) - I got this response

Exactly what you do with that is up to you. For example, you may wish to save that somewhere, or display it to the user, etc.
JSONM stringify? .What the heck is that?. You cannot use that value in all languajes, please correct JSON decoding
- Greg-DB
tridejur JSON.stringify is a method specific to JavaScript. This thread is about proper client-side handling of this API call in JavaScript, so this code is only relevant to JavaScript. Plese refer to the documentation for whatever language you're using for information on how to parse/write JSON.
There wasn't an issue with the server-side JSON decoding discovered in this thread. If you believe you've encountered an issue with the the server-side JSON decoding, please report the details in a new thread.
It was ust a missundrstanding in your json compiler.
Since it is working as expected, please test
