Can't get folders lists for Error 409 "path/locked"

I am developing application that sends files, lists folders to Dropbox via API.

When getting folders list by API as follows:

"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder" or

"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue" ,

I get error response as follows:

HTTP 409(Conflict)

{""error_summary"": ""path/locked/..."", ""error"": {"".tag"": ""path"", ""path"": {"".tag"": ""locked""}}} .

What this response means?

Folders or files has something wrong on Dropbox?

A failed call with the "path/locked" error from /2/files/list_folder[/continue] means the path can't be listed because it is a locked folder. This can occur if the app is attempting to list a Dropbox Vault, for instance.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any way to unlock the vault via API?

@rodri042 No, the Dropbox API does not offer a way to do so.
