    I see you're trying to call the /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 endpoint. This endpoint is only meant for use if you already have pre-existing OAuth 1 access tokens.

    OAuth 1 access tokens were a feature of an old version of the Dropbox API, API v1. If you're just starting now, you wouldn't have any, and should just use OAuth 2 with API v2. Are you just developing your app now, or are you migrating from API v1?

    If you don't have pre-existing OAuth 1 access tokens, you should send the user through the normal OAuth 2 app authorization flow. You can find information on how that works in the OAuth guide here:

    https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide

    The documentation for the OAuth 2 app authorization flow can be found here:

    Weare i can get some data as 

     "account_id": "dbid:AAH4f99T0taONIb-OurWxbNQ6ywGRopQngc", "uid": "12345"

    i send request in java code

    {\"access_token\": \"xxxxxxxxxxxx\", \"token_type\": \"bearer\"}

    and get a
    HttpResponseProxy{HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request [Server: nginx, Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 22:13:46 GMT, Content-Type: application/json, Transfer-Encoding: chunked, Connection: keep-alive, Content-Security-Policy: sandbox; frame-ancestors 'none', X-Dropbox-Request-Id: 6a18347a584a219d1e1d092b6eefb883, X-Frame-Options: DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Content-Disposition: attachment; filename='error'] ResponseEntityProxy{[Content-Type: application/json,Chunked: true]}}
    I need to use only HTTP request's without java dropbox API :)

    These 'account_id', 'uid', 'access_token', and 'token_type' values are returned by the Dropbox /oauth2/token endpoint.

    You would call the the Dropbox /oauth2/token endpoint if you're using the Dropbox OAuth 2 "code" flow. You can find information on what your request should look like in the documentation for the Dropbox /oauth2/token endpoint.

    In any case, make sure you print out the response body for a more specific error message when you get an error like that.

    You can see a live demo of the OAuth app authorization flow in this sample app which runs this code.
