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.

Dropbox Community ModeratorEsikhoob As it is best not to leak your app secret to users, you can instead use the "PKCE" app authorization flow with the JavaScript SDK itself. The PKCE flow is intended for client-side applications and does not require the use of the app secret. You can find an example of using it with the JavaScript SDK here.
Thanks all for these helping answers.
Greg-DBI read PKCE documentation, but I don`t understand the purpose of eliminating app secret, since others also can call the API without it.

Esikhoob PKCE is a feature of the OAuth 2 specification. For more information on it, in addition to our own OAuth Guide and authorization documentation, you may be interested in reading the OAuth 2 PKCE specification and resources.
