Error in call to API function "files/list_folder": request body: could not decode input as JSON
Good morning, I do this request with Arduino: client.print(String("POST /2/files/list_folder HTTP/1.1\r\n") + "Host: api.dropboxapi.com" + "User-Agent: ESP8266/Ard...

FOUND!
I used static IP:162.125.5.7to access the server.
Probably Drobbox changed the IP a few days ago.
Now I switched to
api.dropboxapi.comand everything works like a charm.Thank you for the support! :)

The /2/files/list_folder endpoint is an "RPC"-style endpoint, meaning it expects the parameters in the request body (not in a request header).
Please move your parameters to the request body instead of the "Dropbox-API-Arg" header and try again. (The "Dropbox-API-Arg" header is only used for content-upload and content-download -style endpoints.)

Good morning.
I go right with this call for about 1 year:
request = String("POST /2/files/list_folder HTTP/1.1") + "\r\n" + "Host: api.dropboxapi.com" + "\r\n" + "User-Agent: ESP8266/Arduino_blabla"\r\n" + "Authorization: Bearer MYTOKENxxxxx\r\n" + "Accept: */*" + "\r\n" + "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" + "\r\n" + "Content-Length: " + request_data.length() + "\r\n\r\n" + request_data ;
With this request_data:
request_data = "{\"path\":\"" + MYPATH+ "\"}";Now, days ago I started getting this error:
Error (4xx)We can't find the page you're looking for.
So, probably some logic is changed serverside...
May you please tell me what do I need to change in my API call?
Thank you.
