How to make Dropbox curl API call using Meteor.js

Question

I am new to Meteor.js and want my web application to work with the Dropbox Core API. I can't get around the API call using the HTTP package in Meteor.js

How can I call Meteor, which is similar to calling Curl below:

curl https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info -H "Authorization: Bearer <access token>" 

I want to get a list of files in a directory, but at the moment I'm tied to Authentical Token.

You can use the HTTP package you specify

Add it with

 meteor add http 

Then use it (server side). This should result in a curl request being issued.

 var result = HTTP.get("https://api.dropbox.com/1/account/info", { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer <access token>" } }); console.log(result.content) console.log(result.data) //<< JSON form (if api reports application/json as the content-type header
