Creating and getting shared links through the API is way too slow

said1296

Hi,

 

I'm using Dropbox API v2 to generate and get shared links for thousands of files.

 

Both requests are taking in average 1.7 seconds so the process is taking way too long (28 minutes per 1000 files). This is what I'm using:

 

CREATE:
resourceSharedLink = client.sharing().createSharedLinkWithSettings(resourcePath).getUrl();

GET:
resourceSharedLink = client.sharing().listSharedLinksBuilder().withPath(resourcePath).start().getLinks().get(0).getUrl();

 

My app is useless with these speeds, what can I do?

 

Thanks!

I'm afraid there isn't a way to speed up these calls unfortunately, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be improved on though.
