Generated access token
Hello, for unknown reason this chunk of code is not working for me (PHP). I used the "Generated access token" button to get me one.
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Authorization: Bearer IFwO9iV...";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$out = curl_exec($ch);
I always get this output: HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request Server: nginx Date: Wed, 06 Apr 2016 13:20:28 GMT Content-Type: application/json Transfer-Encoding: chunked Connection: keep-alive X-Dropbox-Request-Id: d72abf... {"error_description": "No auth function available for given request", "error": "invalid_request"}
Please assist.

It looks like you have the wrong curl option name for setting headers. It should be CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER instead of CURLOPT_HEADER.
Hello Gregory, many thanks for your help, it worked seamlessly. If you could also look into this code, as I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" when trying to upload a file (png) from a url:
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Authorization: Bearer IFwO9iVNUF...';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://api.dropbox.com/1/save_url/auto/downloaded.png');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "url=\"http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5BRZLo7rynA/UzLTXxHNO5I/AAAAAAAAAOE/43_jWGpYcNc/s1600/bmw_logo_vector_by_celinah006-d66yn5l.png\");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$out = curl_exec($ch);Thank you.

It looks like the issue is that your url parameter isn't properly form URL encoded. For example it should look like this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "url=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-5BRZLo7rynA%2FUzLTXxHNO5I%2FAAAAAAAAAOE%2F43_jWGpYcNc%2Fs1600%2Fbmw_logo_vector_by_celinah006-d66yn5l.png");
We'll look into returning a better error in this case though.
Many thanks, worked like a charm.
