HTTP request to dropbox APIs

The app authorization process is handled via OAuth 2. The documentation for the OAuth 2 page and endpoint can be found here:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize

There's a blog post here that shows how to implement OAuth 2:

https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2013/07/using-oauth-2-0-with-the-core-api/

There's also an OAuth guide here that may be helpful:

And here's a simple example of uploading a file (from text) in JavaScript using jQuery:

 var data = new TextEncoder("utf-8").encode("Test");
 $.ajax({
 url: 'https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload',
 type: 'post',
 data: data,
 processData: false,
 contentType: 'application/octet-stream',
 headers: {
 "Authorization": "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>",
 "Dropbox-API-Arg": '{"path": "/test_upload.txt","mode": "add","autorename": true,"mute": false}'
 },
 success: function (data) {
 console.log(data);
 }
 })

<ACCESS_TOKEN> should be replaced with the OAuth 2 access token.

And here's a simple example of getting the user's account information using jQuery:

 jQuery.ajax({
 url: 'https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account',
 type: 'POST',
 headers: {
 "Authorization": "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
 },
 success: function (data) {
 console.log(data);
 },
 error: function (error) {
 console.log(error);
 }
 })

<ACCESS_TOKEN> should be replaced with the OAuth 2 access token.
