API v2 - Long polling

The docs for long polling seem to be wrong.

- https://api.dropboxapi.com/2-beta-2/files/list_folder/longpoll - 400: Incorrect host for API function "files/list_folder/longpoll". You must issue the request to "notify.dropboxapi.com".)

- https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2-beta-2/files/list_folder/longpoll - 400: Incorrect host for API function "files/list_folder/longpoll". You must issue the request to "notify.dropboxapi.com".)

It also doesn't work as shown in the second example. Were the docs updated before it's ready and it doesn't actually work yet?

Thanks for the report! You're right, it looks like we have this wrong in the documentation and validation. We'll look into it.

Another documentation thing I noticed was that the /download /upload end points have api.dropboxapi.com in the url structure but have the correct content.dropboxapi.com in the example.

Good catch, thanks!

No problem!

Should this be working now? I just get a 400 response with no data (with https://notify.dropboxapi.com/2-beta-2/files/list_folder/longpoll)

Thanks for the report. We're looking into it.

To follow up on this in case you aren't already aware, this endpoint is working now. (The generated curl example in the documentation is wrong though, as this particular endpoint doesn't take an Authorization header.)

Cheers, just gave it a quick try and it seems to be working.
