Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I just got my application approuved for production, in the email, they told me to use a 'key' ? what is this key?
The application works with : dropbox_consumer_key and dropbox_consumer_secret, but now that I got approuved, if I try to access to the application with another browser (or logged out from my dropbox) I get a login page for dropbox?!
What do I need to make the application dont ask for credential for anyone accessing to it?
Yes, I use environement variables (hosted at Openshift), so they will not be clear in the code in case someone got the script (python).
And I guess they will not get the HTTP request when the client sends it?
You need to make sure you make the API calls from your server only, not from the user's web browser. If you make the call from the user's browser, the call will need to include the access token, which you don't want to expose to them.
Yes, I will go with this solution,
Thank you again.
BTW, I am using this excellent wrapper https://github.com/bdarnell/async_dropbox
Ok, here is the code for people that lands on this question:
curl -X PUT https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put/auto/hello.txt?overwrite=false -H 'Authorization: Bearer PUT HERE YOUR LONG TOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: text/plain' -d 'Hello, World!'
now what you need, is just transform the code into an http request from your programming language ![]()
