Account contacts through Dropbox API

Hello,

 

I want to know what is the meaning of scope "contacts.read". Is there any Dropbox API endpoint (officially supported) that uses that scope? Also, is there a way all contacts in Dropbox account to be listed (again, using officially supported endpoints)?

 

Thanks.

    The Dropbox API does not currently offer an endpoint directly using the "contacts.read" scope. The "contacts.read" scope exists as a dependency of the "contacts.write" scope (used by /2/contacts/delete_manual_contacts and /2/contacts/delete_manual_contacts_batch).

     

    The Dropbox API does not currently offer an endpoint for listing the contacts in a the account, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

      Yes, it's a good idea such option to be added Greg-DB. This will allow better organized and consistent looking Dropbox integrations as well as lowering like-hood for mistakes while user types already existing contact.

      Thanks again.
