    The /2/files/list_folder endpoint is an RPC-style endpoint, meaning it expects the API call parameters as JSON in the request body. In the code you shared, it looks like you're trying to pass the "path" parameter as a parameter to the "ajax" method itself.

    Instead, you probably want to do something like this:

     $.ajax({
         url: 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/list_folder',
         type: 'POST',
         processData: false,
         contentType: 'application/json',
         data: JSON.stringify({"path": "/MIG/Projects/Hippo content Watermark/4K"}),
         headers: {
            "Authorization": "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>",
         },
         success: function (data) {
            console.log(data);
         },
          error: function (error) {
            console.log(error);
         }
     })
