How to call it

A starting template for Dropbox. Replace ENDPOINT with the path from the official documentation, which we link above rather than guess at.

# Uses OAuth. Exchange your credentials for an access token first.
curl -s "https://www.dropbox.com/ENDPOINT" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

This API does not send CORS headers, so a browser will block a direct call from your front end. Call it from your server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

Where this listing comes from

Aggregated from 2 public sources (public-api-lists, public-apis), then normalised and checked by us. If something here is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.

Dropbox — common questions

Answered from what our own scheduled checks found, not from the provider's marketing.

Is Dropbox free to use?

Dropbox is listed in our free catalogue, but it requires OAuth, so you will need to register before your first call. Providers frequently reserve higher limits and commercial use for paid plans.

Does Dropbox need an API key?

Dropbox uses OAuth rather than a simple key, so you register an application and complete an authorisation flow before making calls. That is more setup than a key, and it is why OAuth APIs are harder to try quickly.

Can I call Dropbox from browser JavaScript?

Not directly. Dropbox did not return CORS headers when we checked, so the browser will block your page from reading the response even though the request itself succeeds. Call it from a server, or put a small proxy in front of it.

Is Dropbox still working?

Not at our last check on 2026-09-18. Dropbox did not respond successfully, which is why it is marked as down here. This may be temporary; we re-check on a schedule and the badge above reflects the most recent run.

Is Dropbox available over HTTPS?

Yes. Dropbox serves over HTTPS, so you can call it from a secure page without triggering a mixed-content block.
