(Beginner) API to create file requests
Good afternoon, I am working on a project that uses Qualtrics (a web-based survey/forms) platform to create Dropbox file requests to allow the user to securely upload files to go along with their f...
DB-Des the next issue that I am having is how to format the command for the refresh token as the POST request (via the Form image that I submitted) since I cannot run a cURL command directly in the external platform.
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d refresh_token=${e://Field/DBX_AUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN} -u ${e://Field/DBX_AUTH_APP_KEY}:${e://Field/DBX_AUTH_APP_SECRET}
The connector prompt that Qualtrics is providing to access the external APIs
Asks for a URL ( which I am assuming is https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token)
Using the "POST" Method I am able to set Query Parameters, Body Parameters (either in application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded format) and Custom Headers.
I attempted to set the body parameters using application/json format
grant_type : refresh_token
refresh_token : {the Refresh Token issued by DBX}
user: {AppKey}:{AppSecret}
However the response I got was an error from DBX "The request parameters do not match any of the supported authorization flows. Please refer to the API documentation for the correct parameters."
I suspect that I am putting the values from the cURL statement in the wrong boxes could you please advise?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi GaryH_BAR01,
The /oauth2/token endpoint only accepts application/x-www-form-urlencoded format.
Additionally, based on the screenshot provided, there is a field being added with "user" as a parameter, which is not a parameter recognized by /oauth2/token — most likely why you are receiving that error.
When using Basic Auth (AppKey:AppSecret), the corresponding cURL request would look like this:
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
-d grant_type=refresh_token \
-d refresh_token=DBX_AUTH_REFRESH_TOKEN \
-u AppKey:AppSecretAbout Dropbox API Support & Feedback
