Note in the Dropbox API explorer you need to click the Show Code button to see the other parameters - just in case you did not know - so you can copy and paste those values. I don't want to provide my app as it has my token, but you can use this to assist you.
Your query parameters are wrong it should look like this:
URL:

NOTE
{"path":"/data/gettingstarteddata.csv"} - you have [ ] - it should be { }
Authorization
Bearer <your token>

Hi Michael
Thank you very much for your patience with me. Now i still get below error msg. it mentioned that my Token access should be "Bearer ..... Instead of "buhChTY.......
Now Let me zoom into Token Access code issue. So first let look at my dropbox folder as below :-
/Data/gettingstarteddata.csv
Where i store my raw data file.
Now look at
Dropbox API Explorer • download using below link :-
Michael , pls advise me why my Token Access above show "buhChTY which is wrong. it should be Bearer. where did i go wrong ?
Paul Yeo
Actually the message is correct as you also need the word 'Bearer' to be present in your Authorization value - see mine below.
Hi Michael
One more question how to make it automatic data loading ? My objective is to have the cloud report automatic update the chart when raw data at dropbox is updated. May i know where i can set the schedule reload ?
Hi Paul - scheduled reload in Qlik Sense Cloud Business (only) is limited to the following:
Qlik Sense Cloud Business - Orientation Overview - YouTube - watch at this time-code - 10:38s
So you cannot have an automated update or trigger - when the dropbox data is refreshed. Please remember this whole thing you are going through is a proof of concept - to show you that you can have some sort of capability to automatically refresh the data in an app, without having to manually upload the data file to qlik sense cloud.
