Dropbox connector

1. Install the SDK

   Node.js

   npm install @scalekit-sdk/node

   Python

   pip install scalekit

   Full SDK reference: Node.js | Python

2. Set your credentials

   Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.

   .env

   SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
   SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>

3. Set up the connector

   Register your Dropbox credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.

   Dashboard setup steps

   Register your Scalekit environment with the Dropbox connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. You’ll need your app credentials from the Dropbox App Console.

   1. Set up auth redirects

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection.

      • Find Dropbox from the list of providers and click Create.

        Note

        By default, a connection using Scalekit’s credentials will be created. If you are testing, go directly to the next section. Before going to production, update your connection by following the steps below.

      • Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

        

      • In the Dropbox App Console, open your app and go to the Settings tab.

      • Under Redirect URIs, paste the copied URI and click Add.

        

   2. Get client credentials

      • In the Dropbox App Console, open your app and go to the Settings tab:
        • Client ID — listed under App key
        • Client Secret — listed under App secret

   3. Add credentials in Scalekit

      • In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.

      • Enter your credentials:

        • Client ID (App key from your Dropbox app)
        • Client Secret (App secret from your Dropbox app)
        • Permissions — select the scopes your app needs

        

      • Click Save.

4. Authorize and make your first call

   Node.js

   quickstart.ts

   import { ScalekitClient } from '@scalekit-sdk/node'
   import 'dotenv/config'
   
   const scalekit = new ScalekitClient(
     process.env.SCALEKIT_ENV_URL,
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID,
     process.env.SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET,
   )
   const actions = scalekit.actions
   
   const connector = 'dropbox'
   const identifier = 'user_123'
   
   // Generate an authorization link for the user
   const { link } = await actions.getAuthorizationLink({ connectionName: connector, identifier })
   console.log('Authorize Dropbox:', link)
   process.stdout.write('Press Enter after authorizing...')
   await new Promise(r => process.stdin.once('data', r))
   
   // Make your first API call through the proxy
   const result = await actions.request({
     connectionName: connector,
     identifier,
     path: '/2/users/get_current_account',
     method: 'POST',
   })
   console.log(result)

   Python

   quickstart.py

   import os
   from scalekit.client import ScalekitClient
   from dotenv import load_dotenv
   load_dotenv()
   
   scalekit_client = ScalekitClient(
       env_url=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_ENV_URL"),
       client_id=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID"),
       client_secret=os.getenv("SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET"),
   )
   actions = scalekit_client.actions
   
   connection_name = "dropbox"
   identifier = "user_123"
   
   # Generate an authorization link for the user
   link_response = actions.get_authorization_link(
       connection_name=connection_name,
       identifier=identifier,
   )
   print("Authorize Dropbox:", link_response.link)
   input("Press Enter after authorizing...")
   
   # Make your first API call through the proxy
   result = actions.request(
       connection_name=connection_name,
       identifier=identifier,
       path="/2/users/get_current_account",
       method="POST",
   )
   print(result)

Common workflows

Proxy API call

Node.js

const result = await actions.request({
  connectionName: 'dropbox',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  path: '/2/users/get_current_account',
  method: 'POST',
});
console.log(result);

Python

result = actions.request(
    connection_name='dropbox',
    identifier='user_123',
    path="/2/users/get_current_account",
    method="POST",
)
print(result)

Execute a tool

Node.js

const result = await actions.executeTool({
  connector: 'dropbox',
  identifier: 'user_123',
  toolName: 'dropbox_list',
  toolInput: {},
});
console.log(result);

Python

result = actions.execute_tool(
    connection_name='dropbox',
    identifier='user_123',
    tool_name='dropbox_list',
    tool_input={},
)
print(result)
