Get refresh token

The steps are as follows:
- If you create your own Client ID and Secret, remember to authorize them.
- First, click here to enter the Dropbox app management page and click "Create App".
- After entering the app, configure the app type as shown below.
- You can get the id and secret in the red box: the upper one is the id, the lower one is the secret.
- Configure the callback URL. If you are strict about permissions and do not want to use an external callback address, you can set a local address here, or use the one outside the red box.
- Finally, go to the permissions configuration page to set the app's permissions.
- Click here to enter the token acquisition tool. Select Dropbox, fill in your id and secret, and after authorization you can get the refresh token.
- In the Openlist configuration page, enter the refresh token, id, and secret to use. Note that the refresh token is about 40-50 characters long.
- If you are highly privacy-conscious, Dropbox supports local callback. You can use the following script provided by GPT to quickly implement it, communicating only with Dropbox servers.
- Note: Since the callback address is local and you have not set up a real local callback server, please manually copy the authorization code from the browser address bar.
- Please resolve Python environment issues yourself, or use the callback server provided above.

import requests
import webbrowser

# Please replace with your own Dropbox App information
CLIENT_ID = 'your_app_key'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'your_app_secret'
REDIRECT_URI = 'http://localhost:114514'

# Step 1: Get authorization code
auth_url = (
  f"https://www.dropbox.com/oauth2/authorize"
  f"?client_id={CLIENT_ID}"
  f"&redirect_uri={REDIRECT_URI}"
  f"&response_type=code"
  f"&token_access_type=offline"  # Required: key parameter to get refresh_token
)

print("👉 Please visit the following link to authorize:\n")
print(auth_url)
webbrowser.open(auth_url)

auth_code = input("\n✅ After authorization, paste the code after ?code= in the redirected URL here:\n> ").strip()

# Step 2: Exchange for access_token + refresh_token
token_url = "https://api.dropboxapi.com/oauth2/token"
data = {
  'code': auth_code,
  'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
  'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
  'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,
  'redirect_uri': REDIRECT_URI
}

response = requests.post(token_url, data=data)
response.raise_for_status()

tokens = response.json()

# ✅ Only output the refresh token
print("\n🎉 Success! Your Dropbox refresh_token is:\n")
print(tokens.get("refresh_token"))
