Couldn't find API's or SDK methods to create/update/delete dropbox paper template and shortcuts
Hello Dropbox team!!
I have 2 queries here to discuss. Could you please help me with your inputs.
1. I'm using dropbox trial version and I couldn't see any API's to create/update/delete dropbox paper template and shortcuts. Is there a way that drop user can create his own api's?
2. I couldn't find any SDK methods also to create/update/delete dropbox paper, dropbox paper template and shortcuts. Is it something like you are providing api's/sdk methods for all the features in Licensed version but not in trial?
1. No, Dropbox doesn't offer a way for user to define their own APIs.
2. No, this doesn't depend on the type of Dropbox plan. The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to interact with Dropbox Paper templates or shortcuts programmatically, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. You can find the Paper functionality that is available, such as for creating and exporting documents, in the documentation and Paper Migration Guide.
