500 internal Server Error https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue
I've using the following endpoint to retrieve files and folders:
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder this returns 2000 entries and then get hasmore = true and the cursor. I then user this for the following endpoint :
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue
Everytime it returns internal server errror with no error detail. Can you help?
Thanks

Hi Cynthia, thanks for the report! Can you share a sample X-Dropbox-Request-Id response header value from the error response? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I ran it again and since this post it comes back with this:
"The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."
and this is the X-Dropbox-Request-Id: af74e496fa3618b6ec154ecc80d07387
Thanks

My https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder and the first 257 https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue requests all return a valid response, but on the 258'th list_folder/continue, I get a 500 erorr with an empty response body. At this point, I have downloaded 470,090 file entries and an additional 38,878 folder entries.
Is there some limit (500k?) to the number of entries that can be returned via a single cursor?
- Greg-DBDropbox Staff
Hi sfbrad, no, there's no entry limit for a cursor. This error just indicates something happened to go wrong for that particular call. If you share a X-Dropbox-Request-Id response header value, I can look this up for you.
- sfbradExplorer | Level 4Thanks for the reply.
