Api key

I have a personal Dropbox account 

I need to get my api key and secret code to backup my KODI configuration and date from my Android device.

I have searched the Web for information but can't figure out how to access the information.

Do i need need to upgrade my accounr?  If so, what level do I need to be able to get the required information?

I have previously only used Dropbox as a shared file system between devices.

 

Thanks

    Hi jyoung0950​,

    As Rich mentioned, you will need to create an API app in order to obtain an API key. With that key you will be able to interact with the Dropbox API. 

    You can find everything you need to get started with the Dropbox API, including documentation, tutorials, and SDKs here:

    You need to create an app in the Developers App Console. Once you have an app created it will have an API key and secret.
