That `v1_retired` error does indicate that you're attempting to make an API v1 call, which is retired:

You should update your app to use API v2:

There's a migration guide here:

All Dropbox API calls, both API v1 and v2, must be made over SSL/TLS, though this doesn't mean that your site itself needs to be served over https.
The OAuth 2 app authorization flow doesn't allow http:// for redirect URIS though, so if you don't have an https:// redirect URI, you can omit the redirect URI entirely when using the 'code' flow:
