How could I get the all revisions of one file with API v2

How could I get the all revisions of one file with API v2, the v1 could get the recent 1000 revisions v2 the parameter limit range is [1, 100] so how should I get the all revisions or how many revisions about the file?

Thanks.

Unfortunately there isn't a way to list more than that using API v2, but I'll pass this along as a request.

No pagination or even a way to specify a datetime range within which we are looking for 100 revisions? It's disappointing to have months of version history available in the Dropbox web UI and unavailable via the API.

@HaPsantran Thanks for the feedback. I don't have an update on this request but I'll add your note and follow up here if/when I have any news.

Any further update on this, I have the api proceedure running, but cannot get more than 100 updates.

I am trying to replicate the version history option that is available on the web by right clicking on a file.

Short of running a twice daily procedure going forward (can easily be more than 100 updates on a file during a day), not sure what else I can do.

@Excelmate No, unfortunately I don't have any changes to report on this.

Hi @CooperLiu, @Excelmate, and @HaPsantran,

There has been a recent enhancement to the Dropbox API’s /2/files/list_revisions endpoint that may be helpful for your implementation. The endpoint now supports two new capabilities:

before_rev (optional request parameter): This allows you to request revisions that occurred before a specific revision ID. It can be set using the rev of the last entry from a previous response. Currently it is only supported when using path mode in your request.
has_more (response field): This boolean indicates whether additional revisions are available. If true, you can continue retrieving older revisions by making another call with the before_rev request parameter. If false, it means all available revisions have been returned, and there are no more entries to fetch.

These updates have improved the pagination functionality for file revision history. However, this functionality is not yet available in the Dropbox SDKs. To use the new capabilities, you’ll need to make direct HTTP requests to the /2/files/list_revisions endpoint.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Best regards,
