    <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks Taylor, that seems to do the trick! I see temporary links expire after 4 hours but new ones can be generated on demand. Works fine for me.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Direct link to image file</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Direct-link-to-image-file/m-p/352222#M20158</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I'd like to know if there is a way to create a direct link to a file using the API. My app requires sending an image link to a 3rd party's API for image recognition. When I test the link created using "create_shared_link_with_settings", I get something like&amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg&lt;/A&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But it is not recognised as an image. Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is the 3rd party API you're calling expecting a file or a URL to an image?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'd expect it to need the entire file, in which case you'll need to download (&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-download" target="_self"&gt;files/download&lt;/A&gt;) the file onto your server and upload the file to the other API for processing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, thanks for the reply. The API is expecting a URL to the image. You can actually see for yourself here&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://imagga.com/auto-tagging-demo" target="_blank"&gt;https://imagga.com/auto-tagging-demo&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Links generated via the Dropbox API do not work as I assume the URL given is a 'container' with meta data, download links and comments etc. I am looking for a direct link to the media. Is this possible with Dropbox? Thanks&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;To add some more information:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I created a link of an image and got something that looked like:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;But after downloading the image to my desktop, the actual link to the image file looked like:&lt;A href="https://uc16303a726d517a4932231f53ee.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/AjqdFl9BQdUPdRx5SUC83nDAmmblEed32xSG8mQqZdZzmQuzzl7tylLUExaBUG6blzESKf-QpaTZRsaL8SP-TLfY5ocst4aL5pbQQF8nAA3A/file" target="_blank"&gt;https://uc16303a726d517a4932231f53ee.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/AjqdFl9BQdUPdRx5SUC83nDAmmblEed32xSG8mQqZdZzmQuzzl7tylLUExaBUG6blzESKf-QpaTZRsaL8SP-TLfY5ocst4aL5pbQQF8nAA3A/file&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;This form of URL works with the API in question. So my question is...is there a way to generate this URL?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the link. Neat tool. I found a solution!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_temporary_link" target="_self"&gt;share/get_temporary_link&lt;/A&gt; is the one you want. You can test it out in the &lt;A href="https://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-api-v2-explorer/#files_get_temporary_link" target="_self"&gt;API explorer&lt;/A&gt; real quick to verify&amp;nbsp;before you write the code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Cheers!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Idk is it legit, but I found a solution here - &lt;A href="https://zapier.com/blog/generate-direct-dropbox-link/" target="_blank"&gt;https://zapier.com/blog/generate-direct-dropbox-link/&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It is just to replace "&lt;A href="http://www.dropbox.com" target="_blank"&gt;www.dropbox.com&lt;/A&gt;" in your url with "dl.dropboxusercontent.com". So in your case it would be &lt;A href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8um0tttqgbjq5c7/my_image.jpg&lt;/A&gt; .&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Whois tells that that domain belongs to the same company as dropbox.com so probably that's not a third-party website.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
