Is there a JavaScript Embedding API for Paper

We used to embed Hackpads using the JavaScript Embedding API. Is there a similar thing available for Dropbox Paper and/or is it something similar coming soon? Is there an alternative way of embedding Paper Docs?

No, we don't currently have an API for or way to embed Paper, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when we would have something like that though.

Thanks! Just a way of embedding would make it a lot more powerful. We really like the clear structure and functionalities beyond Hackpad

Hi.

I'd like to second the request for a means to embed paper docs as was possible in hackpad.

Ideally we could grab a list of folders then list documents comtained via an api and then embed the doc content.

Thanks!

me too, it was a very useful feature and one of the main reasons we used Hackpad, and now I am having to move away to Google docs because of this

For reference, we now have a Paper API:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#paper

It doesn't offer a way to embed documents, but we'll still tracking that in particular that as a feature request.

Would also like to embed Paper docs online.

One thing that keeps us from really dedicating our team's docs to Paper is the filing system. It would be great if Paper could integrate into Dropbox somehow, or store physical files in our Dropbox account for Paper. We lose stuff too easily in Paper even though the product itself is great.

I agree with you on this, its all a little clunky, the best way would be to have the paper docs in dropbox folders, for example, we have a main customers folder and inside we have one master folder for each customer, now we had to replicate this in paper separately.

This would be great to have!

We're currently in the process of migrating Paper documents to live in the Dropbox file system like other Dropbox files. You can find more information on that migration here.

For Paper docs as files in the Dropbox file system, you can use the Dropbox Embedder to embed them. To do so, you would get a shared link for the .paper file, and then use that as the shared link in the Embedder.
