What function in .NET SDK is for /oauth2/token
Hi
In our Website, written with ASP.NET and C#, we want to use .NET API in offline access manner. So I think we need to get access token by using refresh token. I read the documentation and find ou...
I think, you mean DropboxClient class instance will do this job.
I had to explain our goal more: We are adding Dropbox upload capability to our ASP.NET website. As a matter of fact, I have used java script SDK for achieving our goals , but I think I should not put app key or secret in java script, which will observable to all users.
so I think, we will generate access token in server side (aka .NET), and send that to java script side.
Is my assumption true? If yes, by reading the document I cannot find a way to get access token out of .NET SDK DropboxClient. how can I get it?
thanks in advance.
Hi again Esikhoob,
I see what you mean. Dropbox .NET SDK unfortunately is not designed in a way to be possible such things. The fields you're interested in are hidden/private. So no, you cannot use the provided SDK as is, but you can use the sources as a template and re-implement it (with some slight changes - expose needed access token with some method for instance) so you can get access token after you make sure it's actual (using the proper method). You don't need a client object if you don't plane make regular API calls server side. The only object you need, in such a case, is DropboxRequestHandler class instance (after the class modification or another derived class declaration). 😉
Hope this gives direction.
