# Overview

The Dropbox API v2 is a set of HTTP endpoints that help your app integrate with Dropbox. This reference covers everything you can do with the API.

We recommend that you use one of our [officially supported SDKs](/dropbox-api/docs/sdks/overview). However, the raw HTTP documentation is helpful if your language of choice isn't supported, or if you prefer not to use an SDK.

#### [User Endpoints](/dropbox-api/api-reference/user-endpoints)

Endpoints that act on behalf of an individual user — files, sharing, file requests, Paper, and account info

#### [Business Endpoints](/dropbox-api/api-reference/business-endpoints/overview)

Endpoints for managing a Dropbox Business team — membership, groups, team content, and the event log

* [OAuth guide](/dropbox-api/docs/oauth) — choose a flow, and pick the scopes each endpoint requires
* [Request and response formats](/dropbox-api/docs/technical-reference/request-response-formats) — how the API encodes arguments, responses, and errors
