How to get metadata for folders in Dropbox REST API v2?
In Dropbox API v2, you can get the metadata for an item using /files/get_metadata. You can list the files and folders under a particular path using /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue.
By the way, I redacted it from your post, but for the sake of security, you should disable that access token that you posted. You can do so by revoking access to the app entirely, if the access token is for your account, here:
https://www.dropbox.com/account/security
Or, you can disable just this access token using the API:
v1: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#disable-tokenv2: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-revoke
Hi Greg, I have a code in vb.net to access the list of files in the folder in v1, I am using this url "https://api.dropboxapi.com/1/metadata/auto{0}?access_token={1}" I supply the {0} for the folder path and the {1} for my token. do you have an updated uri that I can use to still populate and get the result for v2? Thank you
@mrramos If you need the file listing under a folder, you should use /files/list_folder and /files/list_folder/continue. API v2 isn't a drop-in recplament for API v1, so you'll need to make code changes. There are curl examples in the documentation for those showing how to call them.
can have a sample example of code to get metadata in angular 7??
@djomoutresor1 I don't have a sample to share for Angular in particular. Please refer to the HTTP documentation for whichever method(s) you need, e.g., /files/get_metadata, /files/list_folder, or /files/list_folder/continue, for information on how to call them, including curl examples, so you can write the relevant code for whatever HTTP client you're using.
