You beat me to it!

Hi Mike (or anyone else)
Can you confirm that dropboxGetCurrentAccount (NOT dropboxGetAccount) is
working for you in LC 9.0.0 dp 9?
It consistently fails for me, and the problem seems to be precisely the lack
of a parameter other than the access token.
Dropbox returns a 400, AFAICT, precisely because the POST is empty. Fiddling
with this in curl, I find that
$ curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>"
works and returns the expected data; but
$ curl -X POST https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/users/get_current_account \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <Access Token>" \
--data-ascii ""
which is roughly what LC is doing, fails with 400 Bad Request.
In other words, it seems that Dropbox requires this call to be made as a POST
with no data at all; and that what LiveCode does when posting empty to a URL
is a post with a content-length of 0 - and Dropbox won't accept it.
So I'm puzzled as to how this is working for you. Are you using a different
version of DP9 with a different tsNet version perhaps?
TIA,
Ben

Hi Mike,
Thanks for checking. According to the Dictionary, dropboxGetCurrentAccount
only takes one parameter
dropboxGetCurrentAccount pAccessToken, [pCallback]
if it's supposed to take two, that would explain the 400 error! But how does
one obtain the account_id in the first place?
I'm really only wanting to make this call because it looked liked the
cheapest way to find out if the app has a valid token for Dropobox; I can
either display the account it's logged in to, or a button offering to log
in. Is there another way?
Many thanks,
Ben

It works for me in both 8 and 9.
The only way I get error 400 is if I enclose the arguments in parenthesis
(which tells LC that all of that goodness goes into the first parameter)
Remember, this is a command, not a function, so the arguments are not
enclosed:
dropboxGetCurrentAccount oauthToken, account_id
if the result is not empty then
answer the result
exit to top
else #the result is empty
answer it
end if #the result is not empty
