Dropbox Community Moderatorbspindia Здравко is correct; you can use a refresh token to get new short-lived access tokens when needed without having the user manually re-authorize the app each time. Please refer to the resources linked earlier in this thread for more information on that.
as per my understanding,
i got the code, and when i made a curl request from terminal window received short live token and refresh token
i should keep refresh token and request for shorl live token using refresh token using curl to make api calls,
am i right
every thing is fine when run from terminal, but can you please correct paramenters, i am getting this error
{"error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "The request parameters do not match any of the supported authorization flows. Please refer to the API documentation for the correct parameters."}
$headers[]="Accept:application/json";$headers[]="Content-Type:application/json";$cl = curl_init();curl_setopt($cl, CURLOPT_POST,true);curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'{"grant_type":"refresh_token"}');curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'{"refresh_token":"****refresh_token_generated_from terminl******"}');curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'{"****my_AppKey******":"***AppSecret*******"}');curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);$clRes = curl_exec($cl);echo $clRes;curl_close($cl);
bspindia wrote:...curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'{"****my_AppKey******":"***AppSecret*******"}');...What's this? 🤔 Why it's here? Authentication passes through BASIC authentication or passed as a independent parameter(s) (what's this post parameter that you are posting above actually 🧐). Can you point exact parameter matching in the description?
