Resfresh Token using c# code for Oauth2.0
Hi,
I need assisstance in Oauth2.0 usage.
After I generated token I have following properties

Hi Ivan_,
You don't have to perform any of the actions shown. Whenever such action has shown in some example, it's just to show how the refresh works (not that you have to use it)! Once you initialize/construct a client object using the credentials provided, the object itself will take care to refresh whenever needed. 😉 You don't need to do anything explicitly by yourself (other than just properly construct client object, together with the refresh token, and use it).
Hope this clarifies matter.
Hi Здравко
Thank you for the quick response
Can you suggest how properly construct client object with refresh token ?
Currently I transfer only access token and it works

🤓 Really?! If it works, what actually you are asking for?! 🧐😁
You cannot expect when object is initialized with just access token it be able refresh somehow. 🤷 How such thing can happen? Impossible of course - the refresh token is required, at least! Even more, once refresh token is provided, the access token and expiration date become optional. Take a look here for instance. 😉 Depending on how exactly you have performed authentication flow (PKCE or not), you may need to add the application secret too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
So, basically I need to this, am I right ?
var config = new DropboxClientConfig("SimplePKCEOAuthApp") { HttpClient = httpClient
};
var client = new DropboxClient(Settings.Default.RefreshToken, ApiKey, config);
I have performed authentication flow without PKCE.
I need to clarify 2 moments :
1) What is that parameter for config object : "SimplePKCEOAuthApp"?
Is that application console name ?
2)Is it enough to transfer only refresh token ? It looks strange, because we do not use access token with such approach
That is the way how I get access token
It is same way how I described it in that topic https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/How-to-programmatically-get-the-Authorization-code-without/td-p/626621 with which you helped me
