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

      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.
