Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
I deployed my Ruby app in GAE, and browsed it with url: https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.appspot.com/.
After directed to https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize, I click the Allow, the the page was directed to
https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.appspot.com/auth, and only showed: Internal Server Error
Part of my code is pasted below:
def authenticator # Create dropbox session object and serialize it to the Sinatra session authenticator = DropboxApi::Authenticator.new(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET) end enable :sessions get '/' do @loggedin = (session[:dropbox] != nil) erb :index end get '/login' do session[:dropbox] = 'init' # redirect user to Dropbox auth page redirect authenticator.authorize_url :redirect_uri => URL #= dropbox_session.get_authorize_url(URL) end get '/auth' do redirect 'login' unless session[:dropbox] == 'init' auth = authenticator.get_token(params['code'], :redirect_uri => URL) token = auth.token session[:dropbox] = token redirect '/write' end
This is the log:

The '"code": must not be empty' comes from the Dropbox API /oauth2/token endpoint, and indicates that the client did not supply the required "code" parameter.
You'll need to debug your app to see why you're not sending up the expected code value, which seems like it's supposed to be in the 'params['code']' in your case. I can't offer help with Ruby or your web framework itself though.
