Hi!

I’m trying to get file contents from Dropbox, a reverse operation to the one in this topic: Export Rich Text Field as Markdown - kindly described by Bill French, a way to upload csv data from Airtable scripting app to a Dropbox file


I’m using download api method HTTP - Developers - Dropbox


> let dropboxEndpoint1 = "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download"

> let dropBoxApiArg = { "path": "/" + currFilename }

> let postOptions1 = {

>     method: "POST",

>     headers: {

>         "Authorization" : "Bearer " + appToken,

>         "Dropbox-API-Arg": JSON.stringify(dropBoxApiArg),

>     }

> }

> const postResults1 = await remoteFetchAsync(dropboxEndpoint1, postOptions1);

> const jsonPost1 = await postResults1.json()

I’m getting a reply like this one below (looks like success), but I can’t understand how to get the file contents from this Dropbox response.

“json()” method returns “undefined”.

The file is a simple text file and contents is plain text


{type: "basic", url: "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download", status: 200, statusText: "OK", ok: true…}

type: "basic"

url: "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download"

status: 200

statusText: "OK"

ok: true

headers: Object

redirected: false

Appreciate any ideas or recommendations!)

Hi @Sergei_RasKar - try this at the end of your script:


let response = await fetch(dropboxEndpoint1, postOptions1);

console.log(await response.text());

It requires text() rather than json()

Thanks a lot for help, Jonathan, it worked like charm.
