Calling /2/file_requests/create with fetch, for instance, would look like this, again building on the original example here:
var headers = {
'Authorization': "Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN",
'Content-Type': "application/json"
};
var params = JSON.stringify({"title": "file request title", "destination": "/file request destination"});
fetch('https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create', {
method: 'POST',
body: params,
headers: headers,
})
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => console.log('access data =>', data))
.catch(err => console.log('access err =>', err));
Thank you so much Greg for your quick reply, I really appreciate it.
It seems that I had formatted my fetch request correctly, but the issue I was having was working with the response data. I checked my code using the .ok property and I can confirm that the request is successful. In the example you provided, there were 2 .then() statements. I was wondering if you could provide some guidance on how to access properties of the response, such as the file request URL. For refernce, this is what the HTTP Documentation says should be returned.
