Get temporary links of multiple files at once

Hi,

Actually I'm trying to display the list of all images of a user that are available in dropbox. For this i'm now doing /files/list_folder to get all the files in the root and then /files/get_temporary_link to get the links of each files.

But the process is becoming so slow that i have to call the/files/get_temporary_link API for each image available. Is there any way to get all the temporary link of the images at once.

Thanks in advance

No, unfortunately the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to do this in bulk, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

Thankyou Gregory. Is there any way that I can get to know about it once it is done?

I can't guarantee that this will be implemented and released, but I'll make a note for us to follow up on this thread if/when it is.

Hi Greg,

I am aware that this thread is about getting multiple templiks at once, and I'm assumming this also apply to getting multiple thumbnails as well, correct?

Thanks,

This thread was about getting temporary links in bulk, and didn't mention thumbnails. I see you've posted a new thread about this so I'll follow up there:

Hello,

Any updates on this possible feature? I think I may be in the same boat as OP and this feature would increase our pageload times.

@bhoward No, I'm afraid I don't have an update on this request.

About 3 years have passed - has this "feature" been impleneted? (Note: This question was asked prior to scanning the API docs)

Greg-DB

@JosephGarza No, unfortunately I don't have any news on this request.

Any updates on this to get temporary links in a batch? It's been almost 7 years from the original request!

Thanks,
