List Shared links in Dropbox Business Java SDK

How to List Shared Links in a Dropbox Business account?

I am using dropbox Business (DbxTeamClientV2 client) to get all shared links but getting an error

DbxTeamClientV2 client = new DbxTeamClientV2(config, accessToken) // The access token was generated  for business account 
client.asAdmin(memberId).sharing().listSharedLinks().getLinks(); // fails right here

Error in call to API function "sharing/list_shared_links": This endpoint doesn't support "HTTP header \"Dropbox-API-Select-Admin\""

Although, it works fine in dropbox Personal account (DbxClientV2 client)

DbxClientV2 client = new DbxClientV2(config, accessToken); // The access was token generated  for personal account 
client.sharing().listSharedLinks().getLinks(); // this works

@abhinovClairvoyant Здравко is correct. For that method you should use asMember instead of asAdmin, as you're operating on the member account, not as an admin (whether or not the member happens to be an admin). Give that a try and let us know if you're still running in to any issues.

Hi @abhinovClairvoyant,

Take a look on the listSharedLinks method description. There you can see that it lists current user' links (not very clear; 🤔 certainly can be improved) which means member' links, not admin! 😉 That's where your problem comes from - change asAdmin to asMember.

Hope this helps.
