Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header
Hello,
I am writing a simple app that creates some folders when we add a new client to our systems.
I keep getting an error:
Error in call to API function "files/create_folder_batch": Bad HTTP ...

It looks like you're just passing along a native object as the API call parameters, and curl is then applying the multi-part Content-Type. You should send up the parameters as JSON.
You can build your parameters as JSON like:
$params = json_encode(array( 'paths'=> $folders, 'autorename'=> false, 'force_async'=> false));

Error in call to API function "sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "application/json{\"path\":\"\\/1uawro.jpg\",\"settings\":{\"requested_visibility\":\"public\",\"audience\":\"public\",\"access\":\"viewer\"}}". Expecting one of "application/json", "application/json; charset=utf-8", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".
$share_link = array("path"=> $path, "settings"=> array("requested_visibility"=> "public", "audience"=> "public", "access"=> "viewer"));
$share_link_url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings";
$headers = array('Authorization: Bearer '. $token,
'Content-Type: application/json'.
json_encode($share_link)

eranga119 This error message indicates that instead of just sending the expected "application/json" value in your "Content-Type" header, you're instead sending that plus the JSON string for the API call parameters, as Здравко said. That JSON should be sent in the request body, not a header.
The code you shared does seem to show you are incorrectly appending those parameters to your "Content-Type" header value, so you should fix your code to put that in the request body instead.
