    <title>topic Access file(xlsx) data programmatically in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>
    <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Access-file-xlsx-data-programmatically/m-p/357956#M20409</link>
    <description>&lt;P&gt;What I want to do is acess data from an .xlsx-file stored inside my dropbox with the help of some javascript and then use that data inside a graph displayed on a website.&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;What I have done so far is to use the Dropbox API to gain access to a&amp;nbsp;SharedLink. This makes it possible for me to access the file manually when I click the link but I get errors when I try to access the xlsx-data with javascript from that link because it cant recognize it as en xlsx when in the preview format provided by the SharedLink.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is there a way to get a direct link to the file without having to download it the way dl.dropbox.com/..... does or can I access the data in another way?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;First, if you're not already, we&amp;nbsp;recommend using &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js" target="_self"&gt;the official&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API v2 JavaScript SDK&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Using that, if you want to directly access file data, the standard way to do so is using &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesDownload__anchor" target="_self"&gt;the filesDownload method&lt;/A&gt;. You can access the resulting file data via the 'fileBlob' field on the returned object, the same as shown in &lt;A href="https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-js/blob/master/examples/javascript/download/index.html#L53" target="_self"&gt;this example&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Or, if you need a URL directly to the file on the Dropbox servers, you can instead use &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/Dropbox.html#filesGetTemporaryLink__anchor" target="_self"&gt;the&amp;nbsp;filesGetTemporaryLink method&lt;/A&gt;. The resulting&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-js/global.html#FilesGetTemporaryLinkResult" target="_self"&gt;FilesGetTemporaryLinkResult&lt;/A&gt;.link will be a temporary direct link to the file data on Dropbox.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
