The standard way to download a file via the Dropbox API is the /2/files/download endpoint. That returns the file data directly in the response body.

If you do need a URL that you can use to download the file, you can call /2/files/get_temporary_link. That will return a link that you can use to access the file data later via a GET request. Note that these links are only valid for four hours though.

Thanks for your reply

How to get that link using API or PHP

If you need a non-temporary link, you can instead use /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings to get a shared link.

You can also modify those shared links for different behaviors as documented here.
