How to get oauth_access_token and oauth_access_token_secret for dropbox

[Gimerly]

hey I'm using dropbox delta API to make things easier to update local files with that of my files with my dropbox account, what I need help with is that I don't know how to get the oauth_access_token and oauth_access_token_secret for dropbox. If any one can help me that would be epic. For those wondering I'm using WinHttp UDF for uploading files

[trancexx]

API documentation explaines that. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs

It says the method is post, So how would I actually retrieve the oauth stuff with WinHttp.au3 or do I need something else cause I tried to get it using WinHttp but it returned nothing 

[trancexx]

So use POST verb with request. Show your code and I'll tell you what to change.

Note that I have only spent about 30 minutes in total (been really busy with work) so its extremely likely Im using the wrong structure

Remove file input from the form. Why did you add it there?

Or you could use WinHttpSimpleSSLRequest for now.

[Gimerly]

Even with the updated code I still have nothing returned. Is there something wrong with the URL im using. Do I have to integrate my app key and secrete into it.

p.s Im sorry these may sounds like dumb questions but this is the first time I have tried to do file upload and download and still am unsure of many of the parameters

You do have extra space character before the "https", but really, post your code. Pictures of it lame they are, Luke.

Here is the updated code

Ok then, is English your native language and how old are you?

...just to break the ice bfore continuing.

[Gimerly]

No its not. If you guys dont want to help thats cool. I just dont know what the problem is 

[JohnOne]

When you post your code in a picture, people have to type the whole thing out if they want to try to help you.

Post your code in autoit code tags.

[Gimerly]

Oh okay thank you. How do I post using autoit tags?

func _GetToken ()
      $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
      $sAddress = "https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token"
      Local $sLocalForm = '<form action="' & $sAddress & '" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">' & @CRLF & _
        ' <id="file" name="ouath" />' & @CRLF & _
        '</form>'
      local  $sRead = _WinHttpSimpleSSLRequest($sLocalForm, $hOpen, Default, "file", @ScriptFullPath)
      _WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen)
      ConsoleWrite($sRead & @CRLF)
      MsgBox(64, "", $sRead)

   endfunc

Thanks for the help JohnOne. My initial thought are that my form is wrong but I don't know. I get a return of 0 when running the script

[trancexx]

Remove the second line from your form for form-filling function.

Or use WinHttpSimpleSSLRequest correctly.

Lol sorry forgot about the parameters, I do still however get a return value of 0. 

[trancexx]

And your code is?

We are going in circles. The idea is you post the code and explain what happens, then someone tells you what you did wrong, then you correct it an post the code again together with the result. Then you add more code, etc, etc.

[Gimerly]

Sorry, this is my first time on forums. I'm pretty dumb so please bear with me. 

func _GetToken ()
      local $sType = "post"
      Local $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen()
      Local $sAddress = "https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token"
      Local $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, $sAddress)

      local  $sRead = _WinHttpSimpleSSLRequest($hConnect, $sType, @DesktopDir, Default)
    
      _WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect)
      ConsoleWrite($sRead & @CRLF)
      MsgBox(64, "", $sRead)
      

   endfunc
