API to automate the upload side of file request?

when using the "file request" feature there are two parts for the process: The owner of the account creates a new file request and share the link with the people he wants to let them upload files...

I too have this need. I've put together a working example of an IOS api to originate a file request. You can find it at: https://github.com/tjdhome/DropboxFileRequester.git.

It's a bit of a hack (uses a hidden webview), but it gets the job done. I have automated the second part (actually, the easier part) and will post that code in a day or so.
