API Call using Integromat returns error
Hey there,
I want to create an automated API Call to our company's Dropbox that creates a folder with only select user groups having access. To do that I am using the Dropbox "Make an API Call"...
Hey there,
thanks for the detailed reply! Now I definetely understand why it's throwing an error. I am not making the app however it is a web-based integration software (https://www.integromat.com/) so it looks like the problem is that their app doesn't request "enough" access when you connect it to Dropbox.
UPDATE: I made some progress. The problem here is that integromat doesn't ask for the extended permissions until it needs them for one of the Dropbox preset modules they offer. As soon as you try to use one of them (e.g. Create Folder) it allows you to update the permissions of the app. It's a bit cumbersome but it might have worked (now I am getting a 409 instead of a 401 error which is probably due to missing permissions my account has)

Dropbox Community ModeratorThat's correct, a "missing_scope" error indicates that the access token being used isn't authorized with the particular scope needed to access that endpoint, and so the call is not allowed. You'd instead need to get an access token with that scope authorized.
A 409 error would indicate a different kind of endpoint-specific error. You should check the response body for more specific error information.
