Dropbox Business

Access the Dropbox Business API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage team administration including members, groups, team folders, devices, linked apps, and audit logs.

Quick Start

# Get team info
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/team/get_info', data=b'null', method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/{endpoint-path}

Replace {endpoint-path} with the actual Dropbox Business API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.dropboxapi.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.

IMPORTANT: Dropbox Business API uses POST for almost all endpoints, including read operations. Request bodies should be JSON (use null for endpoints with no parameters).

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key
