Unable to generate token
I tried to generate the token using "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token" post method API. I am getting the response as
"error_description": "No auth function available for given request",
"error": "invalid_request"
I have including the parameters client_id as app_key and client_secret as app_secret. What have I missed? Why am I getting this error?

It sounds like you're not formatting this request properly. For reference, you can find the documentation for it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#oauth2-token
There's also a sample in this old blog post that may be helpful:
https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2013/07/using-oauth-2-0-with-the-core-api/
(It was written for the now-retired API v1, but the OAuth part works the same way.)
If you're still having trouble, please share your code so we can take a look.
