Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
We're upgrading from v1 to v2 and the new oauth2 is still not clear to me.
On the API documentation pages it says that the code authorization flow gives you the access token (after you used the given code) and there is also told about a refresh token? That implies that the access code now has a expiration date? I hope not.
I thought that the access tokens (for use as authorization bearer) were valid until revoked by user?
So where are the refresh tokens for or are they optional? Can we just use the access tokens and use that until our customer revokes access? If not, how does the refresh tokens work? Please give some PHP / cURL examples if the refresh tokens are required.
Thank you in advance!
Thanks, clear!
I don't know where the specific page is located (I just browsed the docs).
Another thing that isn't clear to me yet is the authorization page, the link differs in the doc.
This page says:
https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize?
Page: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide
While this page says:
https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize
Page: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation
What's the difference?
Thanks again!
