Get a folders public link using the dropbox API in Azure logic apps
We use Dropbox to store pictures from every jobsite we work on. The estimator puts his pics in the folder for the crews to view and later the crews put their images in the same folder. I have been ...

Hi Jeff B.63,
You can add -v option (verbose) in every curl command and you'll get entire HTTP request in the console output as is. 😉
Jeff B.63 wrote:... I have my AppKey and AppSecret but what is the authorization code and do I need a redirect URI since I want the response to come right back to the HTTP request?
The authorization code is something you should receive from the authorization page where you (or your application user - whoever is) grant permission to access account resources. It can be copied by hand or received automatic using redirect URI - the choice is yours. So, no, it's not mandatory usage of redirect URI. Take a look here how you can perform the same without redirect URI.
Hope this helps.

The Dropbox API does offer the ability to create and retrieve shared links programmatically.
To create a shared links for a file or folder, you should call the /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings endpoint. To retrieve existing shared links, you would call /2/sharing/list_shared_links.
By the way, those are links to the documentation for the HTTPS endpoints themselves, but we recommend using one of the official SDKs if possible. Those have corresponding native methods for the HTTPS endpoints.

This is a little outside my wheelhouse but I am giving it a go. This is what I have tried but something is wrong and I am not sure if I am on the right track or not. Some guidance would be appreciated.
Here is the raw input:
{
"method": "GET",
"queries": {
"direct_only": "true",
"path": "/~ Pictures - All/2023/236056 - 459 Jellicoe Cres/"
},
"headers": {
"Authorization": "*sanitized*",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
And here is the raw output:
{
"statusCode": 404,
"headers": {
"Date": "Mon, 24 Apr 2023 20:37:35 GMT",
"Server": "envoy",
"Vary": "Accept-Encoding",
"X-Dropbox-Response-Origin": "far_remote",
"X-Dropbox-Request-Id": "43295fb3e28a44578e11c9600a9e2579",
"Transfer-Encoding": "chunked",
"Content-Type": "text/html"
},
Error (404) We can't find the page you're looking for.

Jeff B.63, Take a look on documentation! There POST request is always used. 🙋 GET is not for listing. The call parameters have to reside in request body, JSON encoded (as you correctly have specified in a header). Where is this JSON right now? 🧐😉

Jeff B.63 As Здравко noted, your request is not formatted properly. You can find information on how to call the endpoint in the documentation. The API v2 Explorer can also be useful for prototyping these calls; you can click "Show Code" to see how the call would be constructed in a few different clients.

After a long while I am finally getting back to this issue.
I have tried the API v2 Explorer and can get the call to work but when I view the code for HTTP, my logic app has all the same content with the exception of User-Agent which in the Explorer shows as
User-Agent: api-explorer-client
Do I need to insert my own API name in there for the app that I created and has the same API Key?
