How to get OAuth2 access token from OAuth1 token and secret with API v2
hi,
While creating an OAuth2 access token from OAuth1, I am getting error saying
Error in call to API function "auth/token/from_oauth1": Invalid value in HTTP header "Authorization": "Be...
Apologies for the confusion. The curl example in the documentation and API Explorer for /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 are unfortunately incorrect. I'll let the team know to fix that.
That endpoint actually uses app authentication ( https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/auth-types#app ), so a bearer access token isn't necessary. This is what the curl example should look like:curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/from_oauth1 \ -u "APP_KEY:APP_SECRET" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --data "{\"oauth1_token\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_KEY\",\"oauth1_token_secret\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_SECRET\"}"
curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/from_oauth1 \
-u "APP_KEY:APP_SECRET" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data "{\"oauth1_token\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_KEY\",\"oauth1_token_secret\": \"OAUTH1_TOKEN_SECRET\"}"Hello,
can anyone help me how to get the oauth1_token and oauth1_token_secret because when i hit this api it given me this error
{
"error_summary": "invalid_oauth1_token_info/.",
"error": {
".tag": "invalid_oauth1_token_info"
}
}

Dropbox Staffrishutiwari You should only use the /2/auth/token/from_oauth1 endpoint if you have old OAuth 1 access token keys and secrets stored, e.g., retrieved using OAuth 1 for API v1, which is now retired. If you don't already have any of those to convert, you shouldn't use this endpoint. Please refer to my earlier comment on this thread for more information.
ok thanks,
Could you help me with this endpoint :
curl https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/token \ -d code=<AUTHORIZATION_CODE> \ -d grant_type=authorization_code \ -d redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URI> \ -u <APP_KEY>:<APP_SECRET>
what we given in the <Authorization code>
and what we keep in the grant_type.because i couldn't find out what those parameter to be set and got the proper response.
I resolved it..Thanks
- Hi rishutiwari, Glad to hear about U resolved it. Could you please tell me how to deal with the 4XX error while using new end point "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token". That would be really helpful. Thank you.
