OAuth 2.0 API Error

[Amit1]

Hello,
I wanted to try out the OAuth API and hence I created a test app. When I make a GET request at the first authorize endpoint (for token flow) I get an error - This app is not allowed to use OAuth.

Can you guide me on how to resolve this?

Thanks,
Amit.

It sounds like you registered a "Drop-ins" app, which is only allowed to use the Drop-ins functionality, and not the full OAuth app authorization flow. You can find more information about the different permissions here:

You can register a new Dropbox API app with the desired permission here:
