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:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide
The documentation for those endpoints can be found here:

A 405 error should indicate that you're using the wrong HTTP method. The /oauth2/token endpoint requires the POST method. It looks like you're using that (since you're setting CURLOPT_POST), but I notice that you're actually calling $url, when you set /oauth2/token to the $acc_url variable instead. Please make sure you're calling the right endpoint.
Also, we highly recommend against disabling SSL/TLS verification.
Hi,
Is it possible to get a faster response please?
