how to generate short live tokens using fetch api

Dropbox Staffbspindia Apps can get long-term access by requesting "offline" access, in which case the app receives a "refresh token" that can be used to retrieve new short-lived access tokens as needed, without further manual user intervention. You can find more information in the OAuth Guide and authorization documentation. I don't have a sample for this with fetch in particular, but there's a basic outline of processing this flow in this blog post which may serve as a useful example so you can translate it to fetch.
- i am trying to take code in res please correct headers, right now i am having error as invalid_request"Content-Type":"application/json","Authorization":"Bearer "+dropBox.apiKey+":"+dropBox.keySecret,}}).then(req=>req.json()).then(res=>console.log(res)).catch(error=>console.log(error))
Hi bspindia,
The call /oauth2/token doesn't support Bearer authorization. It's used to receive such a token, not to use it. Can be used Basic authorization to pass application key and secret or pass them as parameters. Depending on exact step you are performing other parameters should be passed too, but you are skipping them in your code. Take a look on the documentation.
Hope this sheds some light.

bspindia Здравко is correct; your request is not formatted properly. You should use "Basic" authorization for that particular call, not "Bearer". Also, make sure you supply the necessary parameters as shown in the documentation. Check out step 5 in section 2 of this blog post for an example to translate.
- i am getting the code when i manually enter url in browser, but how to get using fetch api// authorizationlet dropBox = new Object();dropBox.apiKey = 'XXXXXXXXXX';dropBox.apiSecret = 'XXXXXXXXX';"Content-Type":"application/json","client_id":dropBox.apiKey,"response_type":"code","token_access_type":"offline","state":"",}}).then(authReq=>authReq.json()).then(authRes=>{// obtain tokenconsole.log(authRes)// store token in indexedDB}).then(calldBox=>{// call api})
