Distinction between Oauth 2 and PHP Core API (PHP SDK)
Hi, I'm from Softaculous Ltd and we are now starting to integrate with Dropbox for Backups upload and download. I want to know the difference between your PHP Core API or PHP SDK and OAUTH 2....
- If you want to use the HTTPS endpoints directly, that's possible using just curl.
Here are some basic examples using curl in PHP:

To get an access token for the end user's account, you need to implement the OAuth app authorization flow. You can find information on how that works here:

The documentation for those endpoints can be found here:

Hi,
>>Regarding the actual error you're getting, it looks like you're supplying a 'code' URL parameter, but that's not expected. As seen in the code you supplied, there is a 'response_type' parameter for which the value should be 'code'.
I didn't exactly understand you here. Don't we have to provide the 'code' parameter in the URL? Then how do we do that?
As you can see in the code snippet I provided previously, I've used 'response type' parameter as 'code' only.
The URL of the page where I'm writing the code is:
http://localhost/soft/softaculous/enduser/index.live.php
The URL to which Dropbox redirects after accessing this page is:
This asks for the Authentication permission on allowing which redirects here:
And get the error:
Error (400)
It seems the app you were using submitted a bad request. If you would like to report this error to the app's developer, include the information below.More details for developers
