Using new api v2 for getting property groups is asking for .tag field
I am trying to get the property groups metadata for a file in my dropbox. The problem is the include_property_groups parameter.
From the API example, I can't see any data with include_property_groups :
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata \
--header "Authorization: Bearer " \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"path\": \"/Homework/math\",\"include_media_info\": false,\"include_deleted\": false,\"include_has_explicit_shared_members\": false}"
But the data returned from the request has property_groups :
{
".tag": "folder",
"name": "math",
"id": "id:a4ayc_80_OEAAAAAAAAAXz",
"path_lower": "/homework/math",
"path_display": "/Homework/math",
"sharing_info": {
"read_only": false,
"parent_shared_folder_id": "84528192421",
"traverse_only": false,
"no_access": false
},
"property_groups": [
{
"template_id": "ptid:1a5n2i6d3OYEAAAAAAAAAYa",
"fields": [
{
"name": "Security Policy",
"value": "Confidential"
}
]
}
]
}
If am using include_property_groups in my API call, the response throws an error : "request body: include_property_groups: missing '.tag' key". I tried anything, for the '.tag' key, but I can't seem to get it work.
Can you help ?
Thank you.
The include_property_groups parameter on /2/files/get_metadata takes a TemplateFilterBase object, so specifying it would look like this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_metadata \ --header "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"path\": \"/PATH_TO_FILE_HERE\", \"include_property_groups\": {\".tag\": \"filter_some\", \"filter_some\": [\"PROPERTY_TEMPLATE_ID_HERE\"]}}"
