POST get_temporary_upload_link

/files/get_temporary_upload_link

get_temporary_upload_link

scope: files.content.write

Get a one-time use temporary upload link to upload a file to a Dropbox location.

This endpoint acts as a delayed upload. The returned temporary upload link may be used to make a POST request with the data to be uploaded. The upload will then be perfomed with the CommitInfo previously provided to get_temporary_upload_link but evaluated only upon consumption. Hence, errors stemming from invalid CommitInfo with respect to the state of the user's Dropbox will only be communicated at consumption time. Additionally, these errors are surfaced as generic HTTP 409 Conflict responses, potentially hiding issue details. The maximum temporary upload link duration is 4 hours. Upon consumption or expiration, a new link will have to be generated. Multiple links may exist for a specific upload path at any given time.

The POST request on the temporary upload link must have its Content-Type set to "application/octet-stream".

Example temporary upload link consumption request:

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitul/1/bNi2uIYF51cVBND
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream"
--data-binary @local_file.txt

A successful temporary upload link consumption request returns the content hash of the uploaded data in JSON format.

Example succesful temporary upload link consumption response:
{"content-hash": "599d71033d700ac892a0e48fa61b125d2f5994"}

An unsuccessful temporary upload link consumption request returns any of the following status codes:

HTTP 400 Bad Request: Content-Type is not one of application/octet-stream and text/plain or request is invalid.
HTTP 409 Conflict: The temporary upload link does not exist or is currently unavailable, the upload failed, or another error happened.
HTTP 410 Gone: The temporary upload link is expired or consumed.

Example unsuccessful temporary upload link consumption response:
Temporary upload link has been recently consumed.

POST list_folder

/files/list_folder

list_folder

scope: files.metadata.read

Starts returning the contents of a folder. If the result's ListFolderResult.has_more field is true, call list_folder/continue with the returned ListFolderResult.cursor to retrieve more entries.
If you're using ListFolderArg.recursive set to true to keep a local cache of the contents of a Dropbox account, iterate through each entry in order and process them as follows to keep your local state in sync:
For each FileMetadata, store the new entry at the given path in your local state. If the required parent folders don't exist yet, create them. If there's already something else at the given path, replace it and remove all its children.
For each FolderMetadata, store the new entry at the given path in your local state. If the required parent folders don't exist yet, create them. If there's already something else at the given path, replace it but leave the children as they are. Check the new entry's FolderSharingInfo.read_only and set all its children's read-only statuses to match.
For each DeletedMetadata, if your local state has something at the given path, remove it and all its children. If there's nothing at the given path, ignore this entry.
Note: auth.RateLimitError may be returned if multiple list_folder or list_folder/continue calls with same parameters are made simultaneously by same API app for same user. If your app implements retry logic, please hold off the retry until the previous request finishes.

POST upload_session/finish_batch

scope: files.content.write

This route helps you commit many files at once into a user's Dropbox. Use upload_session/start and upload_session/append:2 to upload file contents. We recommend uploading many files in parallel to increase throughput. Once the file contents have been uploaded, rather than calling upload_session/finish, use this route to finish all your upload sessions in a single request.
UploadSessionStartArg.close or UploadSessionAppendArg.close needs to be true for the last upload_session/start or upload_session/append:2 call. The maximum size of a file one can upload to an upload session is 350 GB.
This route will return a job_id immediately and do the async commit job in background. Use upload_session/finish_batch/check to check the job status.
For the same account, this route should be executed serially. That means you should not start the next job before current job finishes. We allow up to 1000 entries in a single request.
