File Download from Dropbox

Question

I am going to download file from Dropbox. they have provided their API for this but I am getting ERROR 400.

My code is:

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
RestCall re= new RestCall();
ClientHttpRequestInterceptor ri =  re.new LoggingRequestInterceptor();
List<ClientHttpRequestInterceptor> ris = new ArrayList<>();
ris.add(ri);
restTemplate.setInterceptors(ris);
PathEntity pathEntity = new PathEntity();
pathEntity.setPath("/Apps/DemoVivekApp/home/xpointers/Desktop/dmo/test");

ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

String jsonString = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(pathEntity);

HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
httpHeaders.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
httpHeaders.setAccept(Arrays.asList(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM));
httpHeaders.add("Authorization","Bearer ItdjL2a2ihAAAAAAAAAAFd3cJhYxpQhbtlXjgb6RleJ7xVQj_Pon");
httpHeaders.add("Dropbox-API-Arg",jsonString);
httpHeaders.add("User-Agent", "api-explorer-client");

HttpEntity<PathEntity> entity = new HttpEntity<>(httpHeaders);

ResponseEntity<byte[]> response = restTemplate.exchange(DIRECT_FILE_DOWNLOAD, HttpMethod.POST, entity, byte[].class, "1");

PathEntity.java :

public class PathEntity {

    private String path;

    public String getPath() {
        return path;
    }

    public void setPath(String path) {
        this.path = path;
    }
}

I tried to print my http request which is printed as below :

{Accept=[application/octet-stream, application/json, application/*+json, */*], Content-Type=[application/json], Authorization=[Bearer ItdjL2a2ihAAAAAAAAAAFd3cJhYxpQhbtlXjgb6RleJ7xVQj_Pon], Dropbox-API-Arg=[{path":"/newApp/ccJAR}], User-Agent=[api-explorer-client], Content-Length=[0]}

UPDATE:

My response body is :

Print out the response body. It should contain a more useful error message. — Greg, Apr 10 '17 at 16:51
Heyy Greg, I have added my response body in the question. plz check it. — Vivek, Apr 11 '17 at 04:35
You added the stack for the exception caused by the error response, but it doesn't include the actual HTTP response body. — Greg, Apr 11 '17 at 18:11

For download you have to use GET request instead of post.

ResponseEntity<byte[]> response = restTemplate.exchange(DIRECT_FILE_DOWNLOAD, HttpMethod.POST, entity, byte[].class, "1");

Change like below

ResponseEntity<byte[]> response = restTemplate.exchange(downloadFilePath, HttpMethod.GET, entity, byte[].class, "1");

Hope this will helps you.
