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.
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

...Me too... 🤷 Where came "oauth1_token" and "oauth1_token_secret" from? Do you have some outdated v1 tokens and want to transform them to v2 (the actual one)? You need to provide the temporary code to confirm the authentication - token provided as result of authorization. Did you read carefully the referred topic I linked to? I (or somebody else) haven't posted there anything similar!
By the way... "grant_type" is parameter, not header!
This call can be performed with GET request, so, I hope, you can make you life easy. 😉
