Error Listing Contents of a folder

dungun

Hi , I am making an api call to 

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder to list the contents of a folder named "images" .  

 

here is my code 

 

$res = $client->request('POST', 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder', [

'headers'=>[

'Authorization'=> 'Bearer '.$access_token,

"Content-Type"=> "application/json"

],

'json' => [

"path"=>"/images",

"recursive"=> false,

"include_media_info"=> false,

"include_deleted"=> false,

"include_has_explicit_shared_members"=> false,

"include_mounted_folders"=> true

]

]);

 

I've tried giving and removing forward slash in path like "/images"  which gives me path not found error and other "images" which gives me " did not match pattern '(/(.|[\r\n])*)?  " error . What's wrong in my code ?

The leading slash is required when identifying non-root paths, so "/images" would be the correct format.

The not_found error indicates that there is nothing at the specified path in the connected account. That being the case, make sure that:
- you're using an access token for the account you mean to interact with.
- you're using the right path and that there is something at that path in that account. (You can use dropbox.com to check.)
- if you're using an app with the "app folder" permission, that the path exists inside the special app folder for the app in the connected account. (Apps with the "app folder" permission only have access to the app folder automatically created for them, so paths are automatically interpreted relative to that app folder. For example, "/images" would actually point to /Apps/<app folder name>/images" by default.)
