Dropbox API Support & Feedback
Find help with the Dropbox API from other developers.
Hello,
I want to implement Webhook functionality. I don't have server for my website right now. So created Webhook URI on other's server e.g " https://www.example.com/webhook_test_uri ". I created get & post method there. I verify the request by echoing value of challenge
parameter & my URI get enabled. My OAuth2 redirect API is "http://127.0.0.1:8000/dropbox_auth" & Webhook URI is "https://www.example.com/webhook_test_uri".
When I make any changes in dropbox, it is not sending me data on above Webhook URI.
I am not getting what is wrong in this? Please suggest me.
Thanks,
Do you have admin access rights to the other server?
The URI needs to be one publicly accessible over the internet. For example, 127.0.0.1
and localhost
URIs will not work, since Dropbox's servers will not be able to contact your local computer.

I have admin access rights to the other server. So I have added valid Webhook URI of other server not localhost. My Webhook URI is enabled.
Then also it is not giving response on that post method.
My Oauth redirect URL is localhost.
Webhook notifications will only be sent for changes in the accounts of users that are "linked" to your app. Can you check that you have linked your account to your app and that you are making changes in that account?
Thanks for reply.
I followed following steps:
1. I have created application on dropbox with full access.
2. I created web application & I follwed OAuth 2 Flow.
3. Then I was able to access my all dropbox files. I was able to upload, download, rename etc operation on the files.
4. I have created one Webhook URI on my other server(My Website code is not resides on this server). I have added this URI in application & this URI has enabled.
I am making changes in this same dropbox acccount(which I have chosen while OAuth 2 Flow). But I am not getting changed information on specified URI.
Please suggest me if I wrong.
Many Thanks,
