8 years agoThe Dropbox API now offers the ability to get, list, create, and update file requests:

If you're using an official SDK, there will also be corresponding methods for these endpoints.

8 years agoChrisGrahamMast Apologies, it appeared you had duplicate replies, and I tried to remove one, but it seems I somehow managed to remove them both.
Anyway, to answer your question:
"""
THAT IS AMAZING!!!! Woo. I'm super excited about this.
So question with this- with our scripts, we'd need to hit the API with a single URL with a query string instead of headers. (We're using AppleScript, and you can't add a header stuff o the curl script.)
Is there a way to take this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create \
--header "Authorization: Bearer " \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"title\": \"Homework submission\",\"destination\": \"/File Requests/Homework\",\"deadline\": {\"deadline\": \"2020-10-12T17:00:00Z\",\"allow_late_uploads\": \"seven_days\"},\"open\": true}"
and make it look something like this:
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create/?authirization=abcdefg&Content-Type=application/json&data=audio&destination=/uploader/Customer_email@website.com&deadline=ten_days&open=true
"""
No, unfortunately that's not possible. These are RPC style endpoints, which only accept headers and parameters in the request body. I'll pass this along as a feature request, but I can't make any promises. Apologies I don't have better news!
