Dropbox Video information using only Dropbox Video public URL

Hi Dropbox Community,

I'm working on a React base front-end application. In which I've to send the Dropbox Video Details ( dropbox video id, created at etc... ) to the back-end just only using the Dropbox Video URL. We'are using only public URL's. But I'm unable to handle it from front-end side. As I was going to use access token on the front-end side but I've realized it's expiring.

 

Can someone resolved the same issue or faced this it'll be great help

 

Thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you clarify?

     

    Regarding access token expiration, for reference, Dropbox is no longer offering the option for creating new long-lived access tokens. Dropbox is switching to only issuing short-lived access tokens (and optional refresh tokens) instead of long-lived access tokens. You can find more information on this migration here.

    Apps can still get long-term access by requesting "offline" access though, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. There's a basic outline of processing this flow in this blog post which may serve as a useful example.
