User
This endpoint performs User Authentication, validating the supplied access token, and returns the supplied string, to allow you to test your code and connection to the Dropbox API. It has no other effect. If you receive an HTTP 200 response with the supplied query, it indicates at least part of the Dropbox API infrastructure is working and that the access token is valid.
Required scope: account_info.read
Endpoint format: RPC
Authentication: User
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 token issued to a specific user. Use Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Public clients should use the authorization code flow with PKCE (S256).
For background or offline access, send token_access_type=offline during authorization and use the returned refresh token to obtain new access tokens.
You can generate a short-lived access token from the App Console; see Testing with a generated token.
Headers

On failure the request returns 422 with a common.PathRootError.
