(1) That's correct, in particular, it's the filesGetTemporaryLink method.

 

(2) The Dropbox API doesn't offer a way to customize the lifetime of temporary links from filesGetTemporaryLink in particular, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though. As you found, you can instead use sharingCreateSharedLinkWithSettings to create shared links with optional arbitrary expiration, as long as the account has access to that feature. The Dropbox API uses the ISO 8601 "combined date and time representation" format for timestamps.
