Reducing API Bandwidth Consumption by Limiting Requested Fields

paulzakin

Hello! 

 

First-time poster, I've never used the Dropbox REST API before! I was curious if anyone knew the answer to this question. 

 

When making a request to https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder you get back a JSON object obviously. However, I only need a subset of those fields in the result object, namely content_hash and path_display. Is there any way to ONLY get those fields back in the API (much like GraphQL). The goal is to save bandwidth, both for myself and Dropbox.

Thanks for the post! The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to request only specific fields like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
