Exchange the authorization code for a re-useable access token - OAuth 2.0 - /oauth2/authorize

achillis

When using OAuth 2.0 during  /oauth2/authorize while ommiting the redirect url:

 

https://api.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<key>scope=&state=<state>

 This is the [code flow]

the user then is directed to authorize the app, once the app is authorized the user is taken to a page that reads:

 

Enter this code into <app-name> to finish the process.

GooKWtwe54AAAAAAABABSUl_Ruv1COvpBBCuWQ5kv2g  (code changed)

 

it takes the user here: https://www.dropbox.com/1/oauth2/authorize_submit

 

1) please help me understand how I need to exchange this code for an access token.

I just posted an answer on StackOverflow, but in short, you can use /oauth2/token to exchange an authorization code for an access token:
