Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
After successfully receiving an access token from the `oauth2/authorize` endpoint, I have attempted to submit the access token to `sharing/get_shared_link_metadata` along with the URL of a shared link. Several attempts have returned me with a 401 error. So I tried submitting an access token, which was generated from the app page, but with no success. However, when I copied/pasted my code to phpfiddle.com, the request returned successfully. So the issue seems to exist only in the request from my virtual server.
I have no clue what issue could exist in a request from a virtual server, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think I'm doing everything correctly. I think the issue is just due to the last request originitating from a local server without authentic SSL. The access tokens I'm receiving seem to work, just not from my local server.
Thanks for your help.
Sorry. I took the time to inspect the final request, which contains the access token in the request header. When I isolated the issue to the function, which contains the curl post/request, it came back with a successful response. So, to my embarrassment, there was actually just an issue somewhere else. I got really bogged down in this problem a couple days ago, and I think I just needed to step away from it.
Thanks for the persistent help.
