      <description>You're missing a few parameters that are necessary for the /oauth2/authorize page. (You should be getting a detailed error message at the bottom of that page when you access it like this.)&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;You can find the full documentation for the required and optional parameters here:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-authorize&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;At a minimum, you also need the "response_type" parameter.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Also, this old blog post was written for the now-retired API v1 (a.k.a. Core API), but the OAuth 2 flow still works the same for API v2:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2013/07/using-oauth-2-0-with-the-core-api/" target="_blank"&gt;https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2013/07/using-oauth-2-0-with-the-core-api/&lt;/A&gt;</description>
