Access and file upload using command line (RAW socket)

hello lucasromeiro,

As mentioned in the link you referenced, to begin the OAuth 2 flow you would just make a simple GET request, that should be made via the system browser, to:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize

And supply the parameters as listed, at a bare minimum your request URL would look like:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=abcdefg123

response_type can either be 'code' or 'token' and client_id is your app key from the developer console (as listed in the description of the /oauth2/authorize documentation).

In this case, if you use the code flow, the user will be presented with a page asking them to login, if they are not already, and then to authorize your application. If they allow it they will be presented a code they can enter back into your app.

Your app can then use:

https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token

to convert that code into an actual API token you can use to make calls against the Dropbox API. Pay attention to the authorization requirements of this endpoint (again documentation is covered in the link you referenced). This is a POST request vs. a GET for the previous step so adjust and encode parameters accordingly.

Hope that helps get you past this,

-Chuck
