Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Greetings. Our company has Dropbox Business. We would like to get Dropbox HTML links, e.g. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/{long string}/{long string}, for each subdirectory in some folder. There are many (> 100) folders in this subdirectory, so I would like to automate the process. Is there a way to accomplish this? Any program or programming language (C++, Perl, Python, etc.) is fine. Many thanks!
Yes, Dropbox does offer an API you can use for programmatically interacting with Dropbox lke this. You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers
Specifically, to create a shared link to any file or folder, you can use the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint:
Or, to list existing shared links, use /2/sharing/list_shared_links:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-list_shared_links
Those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation
Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.
