    <title>topic Re: App Authentication in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;While the API v2 infrastructure itself does implement app authentication as one of the authentication types, it is supported (or not) on an endpoint-by-endpoint basis.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Currently the API v2 &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/A&gt; endpoint unfortunately does not support app authentication. (You can check which authentication type(s) an endpoint currently supports in the "AUTHENTICATION" section of the documentation for that endpoint. For example,&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;currently only supports "&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types#user" target="_self"&gt;User Authentication&lt;/A&gt;". For comparison, the only API v2 endpoint that currently supports app authentication is&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#auth-token-from_oauth1" target="_self"&gt;/2/auth/token/from_oauth1&lt;/A&gt;.)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'll pass this along as a feature request for app authentication support for &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-get_shared_link_metadata" target="_self"&gt;/2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata&lt;/A&gt;. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>App Authentication</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/App-Authentication/m-p/363058#M20632</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I have a question regarding authentication types. I tried to use App Authentication, but it seems that this method does not work with the v2 API.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;According to the documentation (&lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types&lt;/A&gt;), /1/metadata/link acts as the endpoint for App Authentication, which is a v1 endpoint. The API v2 version of this endpoint is /2/sharing/get_shared_link_metadata, but it is stated in the forum that this does not support App Authentication (&lt;A href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/Invalid-request-No-auth-function-available-for-given-request/td-p/208360" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/API-Support-Feedback/Invalid-request-No-auth-function-available-for-given-request/td-p/208360&lt;/A&gt;).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Am I correct in concluding that App Authentication is not possible with the v2 API?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/P&gt;</description>
