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

As Здравко mentioned, you'll need to make sure that token_access_type=offline is included in your request to /oauth2/authorize

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<APP_KEY>&token_access_type=offline&response_type=code

 

Once that is successful, you should see a refresh_token in the response.

 

Feel free to reference our OAuth guide for details on refresh tokens.
