Showing images in an app folder

grahamjroy

I have a dropbox app that I create so that I can upload images via the api. I want to be able to show these images on a web page as a carousel. I can get the list of images using:

 

dbx.filesListFolder({path: ''})
  .then(function(response) {
  console.log(response.entries);
})
  .catch(function(error) {
  console.error(error);
});

 

but I want to be able to show the image on a web page. Is it possible to get the url of the image once it has been uploaded? It looks like, because it is in an app folder that I have to manually allow access to the image and then create a link for it.

Whether or not your app is using an app folder, you should be able to download or get a temporary or shared link for a file, e.g., using filesDownload, filesGetTemporaryLink, or sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings, respectively. 

 

If something's not working as expected, please share any relevant code and output. Thanks!
