How to get list of files recently modified within 24 hours through Dropbox API V2

Hi all,

 

I have an scenario where I need to find out the recently modified files in a day through Dropbox API v2 in Java. 

Right now I am scanning through each and every file in the Dropbox through ListFolderBuilder to check the server modified date to find out whether the file has been modified. 

Is there any way I could find only the recently modified files in a day through code in Dropbox API v2? Is this feature availble?

Appreciate your help here.

 

 

Thanks,

Sindhu.

    The Dropbox API unfortunately doesn't offer a better way to do this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request.

      Hi Greg. Have there been any updates on how to obtain the most recently modified files in a Dropbox account? I noticed the web UI supports a Recents view.

        Kloudless V. No, I don't have any updates on this feature request for exposing recent file information on the API.
