list_shared_links from folder

Suporte S.

Hi.

On the API says "If a non-empty path is given, returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path"

I have a folder with 5 files and 3 of them has a shared link

When i ask for list_shared_links and pass the path to this folder the result is empty.

<SPAN><SPAN>curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/<SPAN class="hljs-number">2</SPAN>/sharing/list_shared_links \
</SPAN><SPAN><SPAN>  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Authorization: Bearer my-key'</SPAN> \
</SPAN><SPAN>  --header <SPAN class="hljs-string">'Content-Type: application/json'</SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN><SPAN>\
  --data <SPAN class="hljs-string">'{"path":"/myfolder"}'</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>

On the API it show this example

{
    "path": "/Homework/Math"
}

So it is possible, but i get this.

{
  "<SPAN class="hljs-attribute">links</SPAN>": <SPAN class="hljs-value">[]</SPAN>,
  "<SPAN class="hljs-attribute">has_more</SPAN>": <SPAN class="hljs-value"><SPAN class="hljs-literal">false</SPAN>
</SPAN>}

 

When i let the data empty show all the links that i have shared, in all folders.

That path parameter isn't a filter, exactly. Rather, the documentation also says: 

"If a non-empty path is given, returns a list of all shared links that allow access to the given path - direct links to the given path and links to parent folders of the given path. "

That means that calling for /myfolder won't list links for /myfolder/myfile. It will only list links for anything that allows access to /myfolder itself (either links for /myfolder specifically, or for parents of /myfolder.)

If you want to get the existing links for the contents of /myfolder, you'll need to iterate through the contents and call list_shared_links for each one.
