Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say you "are not having success retrieving the information on the post back"? Are you getting some error or unexpected output that you can share? You should be able to use the /2/team_log/get_events[/continue] endpoints to list events for your team. For logins in particular, you…

@"AdnanL" Yes, as Здравко requested, it would probably be helpful if you indicated what you're getting in the log. As a matter of security though, please don't share any actual full access/refresh token value. It would likely also be helpful if you could share some more context, such as: * the rest of the relevant you're…

The Dropbox API v2 JavaScript API v2 SDK doesn't offer the ability to cancel an individual request, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. For upload sessions though, since it involves multiple calls, you can stop the process in between any of the…

@"justindaw" Thanks for the note. I'll check in with the team.

That's correct, Dropbox is in the process of switching to only issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here. Apps can still get long-term access by requesting "offline" access though, in which case the app receives…

@"justindaw" I don't have an update on that yet. I'll let you know once I do.

You can find an example of processing the app authorization flow using the Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK in Node here: https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/main/examples/javascript/simple-backend/code_flow_example.js

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say you are "having issue getting correct results"? What are you trying exactly, and what incorrect results are you getting? Please feel free to share whatever code/output you want to help show the issue, but don't include any access/refresh tokens.

@"Здравко" Thanks! That sounds like it may be a bug on our side as well. I'll ask the team to check on that.

@"rdee" I don't have an updated timeline right now. The original plan was to revert on 3/1, but I'll post if/when there are any changes.

@"Rolana" Thanks for the feedback. This thread is sufficient; there's no need to additionally vote elsewhere.

@"Здравко" Your code does work for me, as long as I add "-n", and plug in my own app key/secret and shared link. That "not_found" error should indicate an issue with the shared link in this case. Make sure you're supplying a valid and accessible shared link value and are encoding it correctly. For instance, it appears your…

@"Здравко" You need to use "echo -n " instead of just "echo" in this case. When you don't set "-n", echo includes a trailing newline character which will corrupt your encoded app key/secret value.

@"Здравко" Thanks! That's helpful. I just checked on this, and it looks like that failure is due to an invalid app key and/or secret value, so please double check your values. Additionally, there seems to be a bug on our side with how we handle that error case, resulting in the 500 Internal Server Error being returned,…

Thanks for the report. We'll need to look into this specifically. Can you open an API ticket and share the affected account ID, and and some output showing the loop, including a few cursors? Be sure to redact any access/refresh tokens though. Thanks in advance!

@"FoxyLoxy" That's correct, /2/files/get_thumbnail_v2 technically can return thumbnails for PDF files. It doesn't officially document support for PDF files in particular though, so I can't officially recommend relying on that. I will send this along as a request to consider that officially supported, but I can't promise if…

@"rdee" The rollback has been started. It will take some time before it's fully deployed though.

@"justindaw" The rollback has just been started. It will take some time before it's fully deployed though. I've sent your feedback about the timeline along to the team, but I don't have an update on that right now.

Dropbox does offer an API you can use for programmatically listing, uploading, and downloading files, among other operations. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers This would generally need to be…

No, unfortunately Dropbox doesn't offer an API for accessing comments, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

@"Rolana" There's no particular guarantee on that. Can you clarify if something isn't working for you? For example, are you are seeing delays of 10 minutes in practice?

(1) That's correct, in particular, it's the filesGetTemporaryLink method. (2) The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to customize the lifetime of temporary links from filesGetTemporaryLink in particular, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. As you found,…

@"justindaw" I don't have an update right now. I'll follow up once I do.

@"AlexLefty" That's correct, commenting requires an account.

@"justindaw" Thanks for the feedback! The rollback is still planned, but was delayed for unrelated reasons.

@"rdee" The rollback is still planned, but was delayed for unrelated reasons.

@"Rolana" There isn't a documented guarantee on this for /2/files/get_thumbnail_batch, but changes should be reflected more or less immediately.

From this description, it sounds like this is due to recent updates to the server back-end for some Dropbox functionality to use "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" (and accordingly not return the "Content-Length" response header) on HTTP/1.1. HTTP clients are supposed to automatically handle this, but it's possible yours…
