We don't have any resources for VBA in particular unfortunately.
In general, we recommend developers use one of the official SDKs, if possible, or if not, one of the community SDKs, or call the HTTPS endpoints directly.
For example, to create a shared link for any file or folder, you would use the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint. If a shared link already exists, you would use /2/sharing/list_shared_links to retrieve it.
Thanks a lot for reply
So there is no way using API to do such tasks .. or even similar tasks
I need the technique of using API in excel VBA .. May be I can finish it up if I have start point
- Greg-DBThe API does offer the ability to create and retrieve shared links for files and folders, using the endpoints I linked to in my previous reply.
Please try using those and let us know if you run in to any issues. In fact I already have a look at those links and tried to make use of it but I couldn't at all
If you can help me with that, I would appreciate that a lot
Give me code example of how to use API in the excel VBA .. and I will try to study it to make use of it
- Greg-DBI don't have a sample for VBA unfortunately. If you can't use an SDK/library, I recommend translating the curl examples in the documentation for whatever HTTP client you can use in your app.
Thanks a lot anyway for your response .. I will try and if I could reach a solution I will post it here
Regards
