Dropbox access example in Server Code

Anyone have an example of using BOX or DROPBOX from server code? I want query the db and then store the results as a csv file to dropbox or box.

I a little confused on how to authenticate to Drobbox and not via an interactive prop up. I am not sure if this is even possible.

Thanks
Chris

Hello Chris,

There is no such tutorial. You can make such JS using Servercode XMLHttpRequest:

And dropbox API:

thanks. It ended up being easier than i realized. you can call the API and just pass the "access_token" that can be generated from the dropbox App console.

This then allows you to use the XMLHttpRequest. It was the part of getting authenticated that was not explained well on the dropbox API.

Thanks
