How to Tell if Dropbox API 503's are per-user or per-app -


i had user hit dropbox api @ high rate , caused large number of 503 responses. according dropbox api documentation 503 caused when 'your app making many requests , being rate limited. 503s can trigger on per-app or per-user basis.'

the json body of 503 response follows:

{"error": "service unavailable"} 

this doesn't give me information on basis i'm being throttled; per-app or per-user. important affect whether attempt back-off , throttle of applications requests dropbox, or specific user.

is there way detect basis such responses occurring on?

dropbox work around or increase rate limits if ask. think purposefully ambiguous rate limits means. rate limits exist reason , don't think dropbox, or anyone, wants give away secret circumventing them.

from core docs of july 8th, 2014

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs

you'll receive 503 if you're still using oauth 1.0a authentication. you'll receive 429 if you're using oauth 2.0. yea, unclear if per-app or per-user.

from best practices page mention should contact developer team if need work around these limits.
