Error in call to API function "sharing/list_folders"

amitsinha

Hi,

below is my code to get a list of folders, but when I run this code it throws an error. Please see this error.

Error in call to API function "sharing/list_folders": request body: could not decode input as JSON

 Please help.

 

 

// My Code
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_folders");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN'
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"limit=100&actions=[]");

This error message indicates that the request body, which is supposed to contain the API call parameters as JSON, could not be successfully read by the Dropbox API as JSON.

 

That error looks correct in this case, as you're supplying form URL encoded parameters instead of JSON. The JSON would instead look like:

 

 

"{"limit": 100,"actions": []}"
