get Auth token with AppKey and Appsecret error
Why did the freaks remove the possibility of eternal tokens? now we'll have to look for another service, redo all the applications.
Hi OLIM,
I'm not sure what you ask for actually, but your example has nothing to do about tokens. There Basic authentication is used and it's something specific to this type of authentication, not just something Dropbox specific, and has always been performing using base64 encoding. You can't just concatenate the things!
About tokens, new issued access token is always short lived. There was time when long lived access token used to issue and such tokens, if you have some, are still usable, but are deprecated currently. If you want long lived access you need refresh token. It doesn't expire automatically. Take a look here for more info.
Hope this helps.
give me a real example for getting a token if you are truthful. For example, in VBA. curl it is not possible to run on the client machine. It doesn't work with EncodeBase64 either, if that's what you're talking about.
does not take all values of grant_typeDon't make partial posting! 🤔 Where is the code actually?
Function gettoken(appkey, appsecret, accesscode) As String
Set http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
http.Open "POST", "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token", False
http.setRequestHeader "Authorization", "Basic " & EncodeBase64(appkey & ":" & appsecret)
http.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/json"
http.setRequestHeader "grant_type", "authorization_code"
http.Send ("{""oauth1_token"":""i dont now what is it"",""oauth1_token_secret"":""i dont now what is it""}")
gettoken = http.ResponseText
End Function
