Temporary Links With Different Filename

Does the API provide an easy way to create temporary links to files so that the filenames have a different name from the repository? Example: /file.txt   To download as /someFile.txt

No, the Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to create a temporary link for a file but with a different name. I'll send this along as a feature request.
