Help downloading a non-image file using the API

Help downloading a non-image file using the API

I am trying to use the v2 API to to get a temporary link to a file.  JPG files work fine, but I have some .dcm files.  These are medical image DICOM format files.  I need to be able to create a temporary link to this file so that I can download it from my own web application.

I am calling the API with this message:

{"path":"/DICOM/13c76bf2914c6d87786d555f0994c531/1.dcm"}

I am getting this result: Invalid URL

I know the URL is good and I can see the file in my account.

Can you please let me know how to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks!
Bryan Whitaker

Thank you so much for your help.  I feel like an idiot, but I have two different DropBox accounts for testing and I was using the wrong token and once I corrected that it's working great.

 

Thanks again!

Bryan
