Paper API - Create Paper Document
So I've found your API for Paper, however it doesn't include the ability to create paper document. Specifically with content in it.
I have a separate question/request around templates (https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-Paper/Customize-quot-Create-meeting-doc-quot-or-Custom-Templates/m-p/200016).
If we could have an API for creating documents with content in them, we could solve this problem ourselves, but unless I'm misssing it, I can't see anywhere in the API to create a Paper document.
- Thanks for the post! That's correct, the Paper API doesn't offer a way to create/upload documents.
I can't make any promises, but I'm sending this along as a feature request.

jondotcom No, unfortunately the Dropbox Paper API doesn't support creating new Paper documents from existing Paper templates, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
