It sounds like you're referring to a private endpoint. Third party API apps should use the OAuth app authorization flow:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/oauth-guide

That will get your app an access token for the user that you can store and re-use for future API calls without further manual user intervention.
