Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I am doing CI automation testing and using Dropbox for archiving documents. The test begins by performing OAuth authentication with static page objects: Login, Confirmation, Consent.

Anyway, as I covered somewhat there, the Dropbox website, including the login flow used during the OAuth app authorization process, does have a number of protections such as this, but we don't have any specific numbers documented for this, and it's subject to change over time. The Dropbox web site is not intended or supported for automations like this.
