I am not able to get the "Code"  embedded in Redirect URI. Sample request is

 

GET Method

 

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=xxxxxx&token_access_type=offline&response_type=code&redirct_uri=https://eofynre1btpc2ny.m.pipedream.net&state=xyz

 

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
