PHP: get direct link to every file in a folder

hb-dev

Hi,
So we are handling DICOM images to be shown in a web viewer.
The problem now is that there are 3000+ files  that need to be loaded in the viewer.
The JS viewer takes direct links for files as array to load and display them.
Is there a way to get list of files with direct links using https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder

Hi @hb-dev,

2/files/list_folder lists a folder content (as the name suggests) and returns files and folders residing within directly or recursively (depending on "recursive" parameter). Most probably you will need 2/files/list_folder/continue to complete the list retrieval.

To receive links to the files inside, you can use 2/files/get_temporary_link for temporary link on every single file of interest (i.e. DICOM image) or call 2/sharing/list_shared_links to list in one call all available shared links (or in fewer calls at  least). In case of list shared links, the links should exists in advance and created using 2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings (at addition moment for example). Links created in such a way are permanent (if not set something else explicitly) and listed links are preview links, not raw! Most probably your viewer needs raw links and you have to replace ending "?dl=0" to "?raw=1" for every single link before adding it to the viewer array.

Hope this gives direction.
