sendCustomRequest (method)

Sends a custom request to the Dropbox API.

Syntax

- (void)sendCustomRequest:(NSString*)httpMethod :(NSString*)requestPath :(NSString*)requestBody;
public func sendCustomRequest(_ httpMethod: String, _ requestPath: String, _ requestBody: String) throws -> Void

Remarks

This method can be used to send arbitrary requests to the Dropbox API.

Valid values for HttpMethod are:

  • GET
  • POST (default if empty)

The value passed for RequestPath must already be URL-encoded in a manner acceptable to the Dropbox API. The RequestBody parameter may be empty if not needed.

Usage

When this method is called, the class does the following:

  1. Builds a request URL, including query parameters, as follows:
    • The specified RequestPath is appended to the Dropbox API endpoint, https://api.dropboxapi.com/2.
    • All query parameters in the QueryParam* properties are added to the request URL.
  2. Sends the request using the specified HttpMethod, the request URL build in step 1, the header information held by Authorization and OtherHeaders, and the given RequestBody (if non-empty).
  3. Stores the response headers in the ParsedHeader* properties, and the response body in the specified LocalFile, or ResourceData (using the same logic as DownloadFile).

If the response body is JSON data, the XPath, XText, and other X* configuration settings can then be used to navigate and extract information from it.
