    <title>topic Re: Dropbox V2 APIs in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hey,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So I have been looking into app authentication which can be found &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types" target="_self"&gt;here.&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;I was able to hit the APIs by using the Bearer token(OAuth token). But when I try the basic authentication using the App token base64(app_key:app_secret) in the header, I get the following error.&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#FF0000"&gt;Error in call to API function "file_requests/list:2": Invalid authorization value in HTTP header "Authorization": "Basic BASE64_ENCODED_STRING". Expecting "Bearer &amp;lt;oauth2-access-token&amp;gt;".&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Where am I going wrong?&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;
&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API uses a few different auth types, as you linked to, but each particular endpoint only supports a particular set of auth types. You can see which auth type(s) any particular endpoint supports in the documentation for that endpoint, under the "AUTHENTICATION" section.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For example, for&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#file_requests-list" target="_self"&gt;/2/file_requests/list_v2&lt;/A&gt;, only&amp;nbsp;User Authentication is supported, not&amp;nbsp;App Authentication. That being the case, it won't work if you send up a "Basic" value with the app key/secret. You need to send up a "Bearer" value being the access token for the user account for which you want to list the file requests.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
