curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \
    -d code=AUTHORIZATIONCODEHERE \
    -d grant_type=authorization_code \
    -u APPKEYHERE:APPSECRETHERE​

I tried using this to getting refresh token using this. The json doesnt contain refresh code in it. Is there any settings I need to change

Hi Vineeth1,

Did you denote offline access in your authorization URL? 🧐 If I have to bet, No. 👈

Take a look on this example. You don't need the last step there, just get the refresh token.

Hope this helps.
