Hello Greg!
Thanks for the answer!
I have already registered the application and have token, app key and app secret.
I already used it in the model I posted above. But nothing changes ...

To solve my problem, I would like your help.
Can you send me 2 complete POST examples (what will the server receive, all the characters) ??
- An example for authentication.
- Another example, to send a file or to list the existing files or folders.

With these 2 examples I can modify and create a library for Arduino!

But I need the FULL information. The whole structure of POST done. (what the server will receive)
Because in Arduino we have to do everything at hand ... I need to know all the characters sent, understand?

Kindly help me ... These 2 examples will help me a lot and other people too!

 

Sorry to ask you that. I hope you can help me.

If you need to see what the actual HTTP requests would look like, I recommend running the curl examples included in the documentation for each relevant endpoint, e.g.,:

 

You can add the "--verbose" flag to the curl command to see the actual request.
