Test Dropbox webhooks implementation with self-signed certificate?

Tag: dropbox-api,webhooks

I'm setting up use of Dropbox webhooks in a web application. I'd like to do the development on my local machine. I can access my local machine via https from the Internet, but when I try to add the URL as a webhook URI in Dropbox App Console I found that it seems to require the SSL certificate to not be self-signed. Is there a way to do testing on a local machine with a self-signed certificate? The error message is below. After complaining about the cert it also says there is no response body, but I'm guessing this is because it didn't even get as far as checking the body (I've tested my URL by loading it directly in a browser and via wget from a remote server and the response contains the desired content).

Error: SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate

Request: GET https://my.domain.com/dropbox-webhook?challenge=urFYi8g-jCkVM7aP676BAyYlH7Z3u04RAJH5Lu0AYLg

Response:(No headers)

Response Body (First 256 bytes):(No response body)

Best How To :

For local development, I leaned on https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox_hook pretty hard to test everything. It's what I would recommend for local development of dropbox webhooks.

iOS Dropbox Datastore API: WebKit Exception + Unsupported URL

It turns out that the errors given by Xcode were a bit of a red herring in this case.

The Dropbox Drop-ins API doesn't have any way of automatically adding domains, or registering any sort of wildcard, but we're tracking this as a feature request.

Hosting images on Dropbox

As the other comments and answers say, a normal CDN is probably a better choice for this. For reference though, the Dropbox API does let you get publicly shareable links to files: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#shares You can also modify these links as desired: https://www.dropbox.com/help/201 There's also a direct and temporary version: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#media...

You don't say what you're trying to write to Cloud Storage, so I will assume you already have some content that you want to write, in which case the Google Cloud Storage Client API (javadoc) should give you what you're looking for. In particular, GcsOutputChannel. This allows you to write...

Stripe Cashier Webhooks

With respect to the URI the local/test and production URIs are something like (assuming ngrok is used): Local/Test: http://3a4bfceb.ngrok.com/laravel/public/stripewebhooks Production: http://website.com/stripewebhooks The route in both cases would be: Route::post('stripewebhooks','Laravel\Cashier\[email protected]'); WebhookController.php (which is part of the Cashier package) handles all of the incoming events, so there is no need to create...

Dropbox Core API Java - cannot get folder size in metadata

java,dropbox,dropbox-api

To get the rest of the metadata, you'll want to cast to a DbxEntry.Folder: DbxEntry entry = client.getMetadata("/testFolder"); if (entry instanceof DbxEntry.Folder) { DbxEntry.Folder folder = (DbxEntry.Folder)entry; System.out.println(folder.toStringMultiline()); } But as Olivier pointed out, folders themselves do not have sizes in Dropbox.

Dropbox API Token flow - no token in response

c#,oauth-2.0,dropbox-api

In the implicit flow, the access token is part of the fragment of the URL (the part after the hash). URL fragments aren't sent to the server.

If you're embedding a WebBrowser control anyway, there's no need to redirect to localhost at...

Check if file exists on Dropbox using Android Dropbox API

java,android,dropbox-api

Calling metadata and looking for an exception with a 404 response is probably the best way to check the existence of a single file in Dropbox. Depending on what you're trying to do, there are likely better approaches: If you're enumerating all files anyway (e.g. using delta), then there's no...

Sending a buffer to the client to download

node.js,express,dropbox-api

It looks like the dbox module you're using has a stream() option which is probably better suited for file downloads. You should also make a call to metadata to look up the file's mime type. For example: var middleware = function(req, res, next) { var client = DBoxApp.client(req.session.dbox_access_token); var file...

Thus you have to use the input itself. The true-parameter in json_decode is needed to get an associative array. Without it I only...

To increase the file upload limit in Heroku while uploading to Dropbox, follow these steps: Create a file named custom_php.ini, preferably.

Reading Jira Webhook POST data

In the Dropbox iOS Core SDK, the result of asynchronous calls like this get delivered via a delegate.
