Did you read the documentation? What is the call /oauth2/token, you asked about previously for? 😉
Also, take in mind the above call is used in different situations, with different params (different results, of course) - when you are getting your refresh token and when you are using this token (to get refreshed access token)! Don't forget what are you doing in any particular situation (forgetting means error).
i compress the input file image to webp using canvas,
and uploaded using token
now due to short live tokens, i am getting unauthorised error while uploading blob
hence to i need unexpired token,
now as dropbox is not giveing legacy tokens,
i have to authorize app-> generate new token with code->upload blob to dropbox with token
as per my understanding,
i got the code, and when i made a curl request from terminal window received short live token and refresh token
i should keep refresh token and request for shorl live token using refresh token using curl to make api calls,
am i right
every thing is fine when run from terminal, but can you please correct paramenters, i am getting this error
{"error": "invalid_request", "error_description": "The request parameters do not match any of the supported authorization flows. Please refer to the API documentation for the correct parameters."}

bspindia wrote:...curl_setopt($cl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'{"****my_AppKey******":"***AppSecret*******"}');...What's this? 🤔 Why it's here? Authentication passes through BASIC authentication or passed as a independent parameter(s) (what's this post parameter that you are posting above actually 🧐). Can you point exact parameter matching in the description?
