get_shared_link_file returns HTTP error 503

RGDev

Hello,

I got a list of received files from list_received_files.

Then I'm trying to download a received file by using preview_url via get_shared_link_file :

 

import requests
import json

url = "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/get_shared_link_file"

headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer ***********************************************",
    "Dropbox-API-Arg": "{\"url\":\"https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dmy73e4jb4356xpe02hd7/simpleFile-3.txt?dl=0\"}"
}

r = requests.post(url, headers=headers)

Bur for some reason this request always returns HTTP 503 (Service Unavailable).

Could you please clarify what is the reason?

This is a known issue on our side when attempting to download from this kind of link using the /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file endpoint.

I don't have a timeline for a fix unfortunately, but I'll follow up here once I have any news.
