500 internal Server Error https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder/continue
I've using the following endpoint to retrieve files and folders:

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?

Dropbox StaffHi 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.
- Thanks for the reply.
X-Dropbox-Request-Id: 7c19057695051c5944f59c0644e3ae1a- Greg-DBThanks! That's helpful. That's the same issue as reported by thedeck earlier in this thread. I'll follow up here once I have an update.
Hi,
Is there any update to the orginal post made by Cynthia back in August last year? I have been asked to follow up on this?
Thanks

Regarding the errors reporting by thedeck and sfbrad, these 500s can be caused by certain file metadata not being available yet, at the time of the API call. The team has been working on improvements around this. When this information is still not available, Dropbox will now be returning 429s, to instruct the app to call back later, when the metadata will be available.
