Re: Getting error by calling https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/sharing/list_shared_links

The Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system that applies to all account types, but we don't have specific rate numbers documented for that, and we cannot increase the limits for any particular app, user, or team. Apps should be written to handle these rate limit responses automatically. Also note that not all responses with a 429 or 503 status code indicate explicit rate limiting, but in any case that you get a response with 429 or 503 status code the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not. I recommend referring to the error documentation and Error Handling Guide for more information.

Also, for /2/sharing/list_shared_links in particular, make sure you set 'direct_only' to 'true' whenever possible as that reduces the load.
