Program for generating direct download links

Question

If I create a program that will generate automatic download links for direct downloads, will there be any problems with the company's policy?
&nbsp;
and what needs to be done for this

Hi there Igor6 - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!&nbsp;
There shouldn't be an issue or conflict with the Dropbox ToS and you can start by taking a look at this page.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
I hope this helps!

thanks for the help, but here I didn’t send the documentation only for a temporary link. Is it possible to create a permanent download link for each file?

Hey Igor6, sorry to jump in here.
&nbsp;
You'd actually have to use a third party app for something like this.
&nbsp;
Otherwise, you're welcome to take a look at these resources about our API solutions:

thank you very much for helping me, I appreciate itI have one more question if I use /get_temporary_linkwill the link have any restrictions on the time of use of this link will it be valid forever or after some time it will not be valid?

Greg-DB · Answer

Igor6 The links returned by /2/files/get_temporary_link are only valid for four hours. Attempting to use one of these links more than four hours after the link was created will fail. You can find more information in the documentation for /2/files/get_temporary_link.
