Java API RateLimitException

Dario_Go

Hi today when I'm reading a directory using the java API in my dropbox business account I got the message:

 

com.dropbox.core.RateLimitException: {"error_summary": "too_many_requests/..", "error": {"reason": {".tag": "too_many_requests"}}}

 

How to fix that?

 

Thanks in advance-

Regards,

Dario.

Hi Dario, this error indicates that you're making more requests than allowed in particular amount of time. 

 

There are a few ways to run in to this. For example, are you making multiple identical calls to listFolder at the same time? That will cause this error, so make sure you don't call listFolder for any particular path more than once simulatenously.
