POJOs representing the Webhook event.

Question

Hi there,

I am developing an integration with Dropbox and using Java SDK. While adding the webhooks based event notification functionality, I couldn't find the POJOS out of the SDK representing these. I could see this com.dropbox.core.v2.webhooks.DropboxWebhookEvent on internet, but couldn't spot the same in SDK, please clarify.

Can clarify where you saw "com.dropbox.core.v2.webhooks.DropboxWebhookEvent" online"? That's not part of the official Dropbox API v2 Java SDK, for which you can find the official documentation here.

In any case, using Dropbox webhooks actually does not require using any of the official Dropbox SDKs, and there are no objects provided for webhook events in the Dropbox Java SDK. Dropbox webhook notifications are sent as HTTP(S) requests from the Dropbox servers to your specified webhook URI server. You should use your web framework to receive those requests and handle them however you want. For instance, you can then perform calls to the Dropbox API using the Dropbox Java SDK as a result of the webhook notifications, but that's not required.
