9 years agoThe endpoint you mentioned is part of API v1, which is deprecated, so you should no longer use it.
Instead, you should use API v2. To download a file via API v2, you should use the https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download endpoint. You can find the documentation for that here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download
There is a curl example in the documentation there.
There are also corresponding methods in the official SDKs, if you're using one. We do recommend using an SDK if one is available for your platform.
