Can you elaborate on what the issue you're running in to with the URL is? Are you getting an error?
After getting the response from Dropbox. I insert that url into audio player and seems it's not playing. The URL is not valid. If I copy paste that url into address bar it's not playing. My safari audio player simply shows Error.
Codes:
// HTML
<audio id="awesome-player" controls="" autoplay="">
<source id="mp3" src="" type="audio/mpeg">
Your browser does not support the audio tag.
</audio>// Javascript
var awesomePlayer = document.getElementById('awesome-player');
awesomePlayer.src=json.url;
awesomePlayer.play();- Greg-DBThe API is returning a valid URL for me. Can you share a sample URL that's giving you trouble? Thanks in advance!
- Thanks for the reply. This is the url I'm getting in the response.
