Trying to shared uploaded files so that third party eCommerce app can read them
I am stuck between WooCommerce and DropBox. WooCommerce can read a product image from a any public url.
code:
public async Task<string> GetUrl(string path)
{
var tl = await dbx.Files.GetTemporaryLinkAsync(path);
return tl.Link;
}
Returned Url (portions removed for clarity)
"https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/AfZz93nWrLwDH...wtTPaQ"
This URL will allow a browser to download the image, but is there a way to get a direct URL?
Such as "https://content.dropboxapi.com/folder1/ImageAAA123.jpg"?

Can you elaborate on what the issue is, or what functionality exactly you need? The "https://content.dropboxapi.com/apitl/1/..." kind of link is already a direct link to the specified file's data. It just doesn't happen to end in the file name/extension, but it does link to the file content. If accessed directly in the browser, it is configured to download the content, but another app can also just read from the link if desired.
Thank you Greg. Based on what you are saying, perhaps the problem is on WooCommerce's side. WooCommerce is giving me an error when I provide the URL generated by DropBox. I will do some more testing.
Thank you again for your help!
