The Dropbox authorization URL returns always 500 error

gestionapp

The Dropbox authorization URL is specific to your app and is composed of your app key, redirect URI, response type, and state (it looks something like https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=...&redirect_uri=...). Each of the Dropbox SDKs contains a method that will help you generate this URL when you need it.

Then i build my own url:

https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fo7d5lzzuql1161&redirect_uri=https://localhost/test/dropbox

And i get this sad cat no matter what i do, i have enabled the 500 users for the development, added the icons and description to the branding section.

Thanks.

Thanks for the report! It looks like this is failing because you're missing the 'response_type' parameter. You can find more information on the parameters in the documentation for /oauth2/authorize.

We support "token" and "code" as the values for 'response_type', so for example you might use one of these:

• https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fo7d5lzzuql1161&redirect_uri=https://localhost/test/dropbox&response_type=token
• https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=fo7d5lzzuql1161&redirect_uri=https://localhost/test/dropbox&response_type=code

I'll ask the team to fix that up so it returns a better error message when 'response_type' is omitted though.
