Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi! I am migrating to APIv2, and stuck with this:
Error in call to API function "files/save_url": Must provide HTTP header "X-Dropbox-Uid"
In the documentation I only find that the Authorization token is needed, so there should be no changes from v1 here.
This is the request:
Hi Győző, are you making the request to www.dropbox.com by any chance? RPC API calls like /2/files/save_url should be made to api.dropbox.com or api.dropboxapi.com.
Also, you should be using application/json not application/x-www-form-urlencoded. There's a curl example in the documentation. The API Explorer may also be helpful.
You're absolutely right. Thanks for helping!
