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

bash
# 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:

bash
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

Connection Management

Manage your Dropbox Business OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=dropbox-business&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'dropbox-business'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, 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

Response:

json
{
  "connection_id": "09062f57-98a9-49f2-9e63-b2a7e03a9d7a",
  "status": "PENDING",
  "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
  "app": "dropbox-business"
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
urllib.request.urlopen(req)
print("Deleted")
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Dropbox Business connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Continue Getting Events

Member File Access

To access files on behalf of a team member, use the Dropbox-API-Select-User header with the member's team_member_id. This allows admin applications to access member files, shared folders, and file requests.

List Member's Files

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({"path": ""}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/files/list_folder', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Dropbox-API-Select-User', 'dbmid:AAA...')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

List Member's Shared Folders

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/sharing/list_folders', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Dropbox-API-Select-User', 'dbmid:AAA...')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

List Member's File Requests

bash
python3 <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/file_requests/list_v2', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Dropbox-API-Select-User', 'dbmid:AAA...')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Note: The Dropbox-API-Select-User header requires the team_data.member scope. Use this to operate on user-level endpoints (files, sharing, etc.) on behalf of team members.

Pagination

Dropbox Business uses cursor-based pagination. List endpoints return a cursor and has_more field.

Initial Request:

bash
POST /dropbox-business/2/team/members/list
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "limit": 100
}

Response:

json
{
  "members": [...],
  "cursor": "AAQ...",
  "has_more": true
}

Continue with cursor:

bash
POST /dropbox-business/2/team/members/list/continue
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "cursor": "AAQ..."
}

Code Examples

JavaScript

javascript
async function listTeamMembers() {
  const response = await fetch(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/team/members/list',
    {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ limit: 100 })
    }
  );
  return await response.json();
}

Python

python
import os
import json
import urllib.request

def list_team_members():
    url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/team/members/list'
    data = json.dumps({'limit': 100}).encode()
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=data, method='POST')
    req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
    req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    return json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))

def get_team_info():
    url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/dropbox-business/2/team/get_info'
    req = urllib.request.Request(url, data=b'null', method='POST')
    req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
    req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
    return json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req))

Notes

• POST for Everything: Dropbox Business API uses POST for almost all endpoints, including read operations
• JSON Body Required: Even for endpoints with no parameters, send null as the request body
• Tag Format: Many fields use .tag to indicate the type (e.g., {".tag": "email", "email": "..."})
• Member Selectors: Use .tag with email, team_member_id, or external_id to identify members
• Async Operations: Some operations (like group member changes, member removal) may be async; check corresponding job_status endpoints
• Select-User Header: Use Dropbox-API-Select-User with team_member_id to access user-level endpoints (files, sharing) on behalf of members
• System-Managed Groups: Groups like "Everyone at..." are system-managed and cannot be modified or deleted
• V2 Endpoints: Use V2 versions of endpoints (e.g., members/list_v2, members/get_info_v2) for enhanced responses with roles information
• Deprecated Endpoints: The reports endpoints (team/reports/get_activity, get_devices, get_membership, get_storage) are deprecated
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments
