Yes, the Dropbox API offers the ability to get information about shared links.

You can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata to get the information about the link itself. You can use /2/sharing/get_shared_link_file to get file data that the link refers to. You can use /2/files/list_folder to list the contents of the folder, if the link is for a folder.

There are respective native methods in the official SDKs.
