    yes!
    that was the problem
    my apologies I missed these arguments in the request URL

     

    however,
    i am now getting the error 

     

    {error: 'invalid_grant', error_description: 'invalid code verifier'}

     

     

    The URL includes both code_challenge and code_challenge_method
    and looks like:

     

    https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=<client_id>&code_challenge=<code_challenge>&code_challenge_method=S256

     


    and the parameters sent to oauth2/token are:

     

    client_id=<client_id>&grant_type=authorization_code&code=<auth code from dropbox>&code_verifier=<128 char verifier>

     

     

    i also made sure that <code challenge> is a SHA256 hash of <128 char verifier> by testing it at https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256.html

    what am i missing?

Hi ancso,

Where is 'redirect_uri' header in your call? 🤔 Did you forget it? 🧐 Review here again.

Good luck.
