how to translate this code, this was taken from The DropBox API Explorer but a don't know how to translate it to a powershell code specifically using Invoke-RestMethod or another way, the thing is that i need list the content of a folder store in dropbox, all this using powershell and security token
POST /2/files/list_folder
Host: https://api.dropboxapi.com User-Agent: api-explorer-client Authorization: Bearer dropbox_token
Content-Type: application/json
{
"path": "/documentos"
}
REST API's are easy to work with in PowerShell. You just need to pass an ordered hash table containing the headers and a string containing the body. If the body is a json
string, which appears to be the case, you can create an ordered hash table and pipe it to ConvertTo-Json
to produce the string.
Use the following:
$BaseAPIPath = "https://replaceWithDropboxBaseApi.com/"
$headers = [ordered]@{
"Host" = "https://api.dropboxapi.com"
"User-Agent" = "api-explorer-client"
"Authorization" = "Bearer dropbox_token"
"Content-Type" = "application/json"
}
$body = [ordered]@{
"path" = "/documentos"
} | ConvertTo-Json
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Header $headers -Body $body -Uri "$BaseAPIPath/2/files/list_folder"
You will need to replace $BaseAPIPath
with the path to the dropbox api (as it was not provided in your question).
