I am using this in vb.net with restapi
Dim link1 As String = "https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token"
Dim client = New RestClient(link1)
client.Timeout = -1
mToken = ""
Dim request = New RestRequest(Method.[POST])
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
request.AddParameter("refresh_token", "UF2xaUcddPOfkhAAAAyAAAIT0EEMOQHza-Gemg5atvn") -- token changed
request.AddParameter("grant_type", "refresh_token")
request.AddParameter("client_id", "xxxxxxx")
request.AddParameter("client_secret", "vvvvvvvv")
ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12
Dim response As IRestResponse = client.Execute(request)
Console.WriteLine(response.Content)
Dim xmld As String
xmld = response.Content
Dim jsonString As String = xmld
Dim jsonDynamic As Object = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString)
fieldValue = jsonDynamic("access_token").ToString() ' Replace "fieldName" with the actual field name you want to access

ok I could get the resolution.
The code which i was getting with offline mode i needed to use once for getting refresh token. using https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token
once i got refresh token now i can regenerate access_token multiple times.
