How to get refresh token without User interaction
Hello Team,
As Drop Box Access Token is invalid after 4 hr. I want to implement refresh token mechanism at Backend Java code without User Interaction i.e fully automated. so I have a requirement to...
Thanks, I am using Authorize URI with Token Access type as Offline
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=xxxxxx&token_access_type=offline&response_type=codeI want to read Auth Code Internally in Java Code return by above URI. suggest a way how to read the Auth Code by Java code only
Hi makrand kulkarni,
As result of your request, on confirmation, new request will be directed according to then redirect URI with only parameter 'code' inside. It would look like:
<Your redirect URI>?code=<code to be used in /oauth2/token>You can use any code able to handle your URI (either provided by Dropbox or no). Some sort of service need to be provided that serve as a callback (no direct response is possible). Typically it's a some sort of web server (local HTTP handler) or something else, depending on the URI type (is it URL or something else). You can take a look here for some web example.
Hope this gives direction.

makrand kulkarni Здравко is correct. Please refer to the documentation they linked to for information on how this is passed on the redirect, and the example they linked to for a sample of how to handle this with the Java SDK.

makrand kulkarni Dropbox doesn't offer a Spring Boot sample in particular, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
I am following Drop box documentation
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize
I am not able to get the "Code" embedded in Redirect URI. Sample request is
GET Method
In response getting Html Code /Website in Postman
As Per Documentation it should provide me Query response with Code
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi makrand kulkarni,
As can be seen on documentation (and on your screenshot) "Because /oauth2/authorize is a web site, there is no direct return value". What is a web site? 🧐 Ooo... it's HTML. 😉 Read more carefully.

makrand kulkarni As Здравко indicated, /oauth2/authorize is a web page, not an API call, so you should not be accessing it programmatically. You should send the user there in their own system web browser to interactively click the button to authorize your app to access their account. If you specify a redirect URI, the user will be redirected to it upon authorizing the app and the app can parse that resulting redirected URI to retrieve the authorization code.
