Hi Greg,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you tell me where will I get authorization code?
As you can see in code I already have value for "code" variable before making any request to dropbox.
I already have app key and secret key and I can generate access key by clicking on generate access key button in app console but I don't know from where I will get authorization code.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe authorization code is given from Dropbox during the OAuth app authorization flow. It would either be returned on the redirect URI, if used, or directly to the user on the Dropbox web site, if not. Please refer to the links in my last post for more information on how this works.
The authorization code is a temporary code used to get an access token. Once you have an access token for the user, you no longer need an authorization code for the user.
Also, if you only need to connect to your own account, you can just use the access token retrieved via the "Generate" button on the App Console as you mentioned. That directly returns an access token for your app and account, without going through the OAuth app authorization flow and getting an authorization code.
