How to automate API connection and authentication for Dropbox?

Question

I have created an API connection for Dropbox and manually authenticated it through the consent page that popped up. I want to automate this process using Azure CLI, deploying ARM template, Python SDK, or REST API, but I'm having trouble understanding the documentation. How can I automate the authentication process? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@Gary Kim Thanks for reaching out.

The authentication process for Dropbox API connection requires user interaction to grant consent for the application to access their Dropbox account. This is a security measure to ensure that the user is aware of the application's access to their data.

You could partially automate the process by using the Azure CLI or PowerShell to create the API connection and configure the necessary settings. Once the API connection is created, the user will still need to manually authenticate the connection through the consent page that pops up.

For more details on ARM template connection you can refer to this.
