How to get OAuth 2.0 token

How do I get an OAuth 2.0 token with the account I created app without login?

    NLOG The user will always need to sign in to Dropbox in order to authorize your app. That applies to your own account, e.g., when signing in to Dropbox to access the app's page on the App Console to use the "Generate" button, or other end-user accounts, when using the OAuth flow.

     

    Access tokens don't effectively expire on their own, but they can be revoked by the user or app at any time. That being the case, your app can store and re-use the access tokens, once recieved, without further manual user intervention, but it should be aware that they can become invalid at any time. If they do, you can prompt the user to re-authorize the app if they wish to continue using it.
