Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
I want to create a file retriever on my website that is a simple input text box. My clients can enter a particular code I provide them with and if their code matches the filename of one of the files in that folder, the file will download to their computer.
I am a photographer and am trying to automate the way that clients get their digital files from me. Each client is already assigned a unique identifier and my software is capable of outputting their photo as their-code.jpg. So, if I could write a web app of some sort that takes their-code and searches my dropbox folder for any files with that filename and if found, starts a download. It would be a lifesaver.
Anybody ever heard of anything like this? Any ideas on how to accomplish it?
Thanks!
Here's the documentation for /search
, which should help you find all the right files.
Then you can call /files (GET)
to fetch the contents of each file.
