Which API do I use to get a link for embedding on a web page?
I'm using the API to make PDF files available on a web site. However, the get_temporary_link endpoint returns a Content-Disposition header creating an attachment, which <embed> tags don't like.
How do I get a direct URL to the PDF file--not as an attachment and not embedded in the Dropbox viewer?

Hi Seth, unfortunately there isn't another way to get a different kind of link that would work for that, or a way to control the Content-Disposition on these links, so I'm afraid I don't have a good solution for you. I'll send this along as a feature request though.
Whoa, that's a huge showstopper. Can I create a "shared link" of some kind that will work?

Shared links (modified for direct access) also give the same Content-Disposition unfortunately.
Please do add as a feature request. Thank you.
I also would like to embed the file request link.
