Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hi,
I really would like to use the save_url endpoint to save user created data from a server to the user's dropbox account.
Alas, I can't. In my case, and I am sure in many other applications too, access to the user data at the specified url requires inclusion of an authorization header in the GET request.
The current save_url parameters contain only destination pathname and origin url.
It would be nice to have an optional additional field in the parameters for the save_url enpoint that specifies the authorization header to include in the GET request.
Something like:
"authorization_header_to_include": "Authorization: urlspecificbearer some_access_token",
The value of the "authorization_header_to_include" field would then literally be included in the GET request header.
Thanks Greg,
What in addition would be REALLY great if there were also an optional "url_method" member with the possible values GET (default), PUT and POST. That would make the save_url endpoint a great feature to save and restore server based user data to DropBox.
