Failed to set webhook

When I try to set a webhook URL to dropbox I got the folloing eeror mesage.

"in dropbox webhooks Operation timed out after 10000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received"...

And also I struggled alot to know the what is the exact format of the webhook URL and what are the perameters which I have to pass.

I request and suggest please post on your API what is the exact format of the webhook URL and what are the necessary parameters. This information will be helpful to others who are learn somthing more about DropBox.

Thanks.

Hi Ashok, where exactly are you seeing that message, and is that all of the output shown? It may be helpful to open an API ticket so you can share the actual webhook URI you're trying to set.

In any case, when registering a webhook URI, you don't need to specify any parameters beyond the URI itself.

There are two parts to webhooks, verification and notifications. The specifics of both are documented in the webhooks documentation. In short, a verification HTTP GET request will be sent by Dropbox to the specific URI with a "challenge" parameter that needs to be echoed back. After that, notifications will be sent as POST requests to the URI, with no parameters, and the JSON payload in the body.
