Dropbox Paper API - Get doc URL given a doc ID

    It looks like the following works

     

    https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/{{doc_id}}


    I thought I tried that earlier but must have mistyped something. Apologies for the unnecessary ask.

    Hey there ajwaxman - glad to hear you managed to resolve your concern :wink:

     

    I've moved your post in the Developers & API section of our Forum too in case you have any further inquiries or additions on this. 

     

    Thanks for using the Paper API and have a lovely day!

    While this works, note that it isn't officially documented with the API, so it may change and stop working in the future. I'll send this along as a feature request for an officially supported way to retrieve the URL via the API.
