Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header from the Dropbox API
When I try a request to Dropbox API(v2), I am getting this error ,
"message": "Error in call to API function "users/get_current_account": Bad HTTP "Content-Type\" header: "application/x-www-fo...
Hi VijayKumar E,
The error message is descriptive enough, I think. For most API calls data are transferred in JSON form, not in urlencoded one. Seems you are trying to pass something in incorrect form. Even more, neither '/users/get_space_usage' nor '/users/get_current_account' require any parameters, so what are you actually trying to pass?! 🤔 In both cases authentication information would be enough. It's not an API call parameter, but independent header entry!
Try to post some code snippet reproducing the issue or raw HTTP headers for more details.
PS: May be useful try Dropbox API Explorer for get_current_account (for example). Click 'Show Code' button and select 'HTTP request' to see what has to be. 😉
Hi ,
For the mentioned APIs '/users/get_space_usage' and '/users/get_current_account' I am not sending any data in the request. So why should I set the content-type as application/json", "application/json; charset=utf-8", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack" for the request ?
In both cases we are just passing the authentication information by referring DropBox Documentation .
By seeing the error message I tried the APIs by setting those content-type as application/json", "application/json; charset=utf-8", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack" but still it was not working .
When I tried the API by passing the content-type as empty string ( Content-Type : “” ) it’s working fine.

You shouldn't set anything, actually.
