Create a Temporary Public Link to a DropBox File

See more Dropbox Examples

Get a temporary link to stream content of a file. This link will expire in four hours and afterwards you will get 410 Gone. Rust

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

let http = chilkat::Http::new();

// Implements the following CURL command:

// curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/get_temporary_link \
//     --header "Authorization: Bearer DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
//     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
//     --data "{\"path\": \"/video.mp4\"}"

// Use this online tool to generate code from sample JSON:
// Generate Code to Create JSON

// The following JSON is sent in the request body.

// {
//   "path": "/video.mp4"
// }
