You need to use:
put fGetDropboxAPI2(tHeader,tPost,tURL)
You need to put hold the various inputs to the function in the variables: tHeader,tPost,tURL
You can put the file name selected into a variable then use that variable to replace the header text in another variable.

Replace "MyFilename" with the file name.
You can cut the file path as the last "/" in various ways.
eg. set the itemdelimiter to "/" then get item -1 of the file path.

eg.Header to include: Lets say the file name that you clicked on was testfile1.txt in the dropbox app folder. Authorization: Bearer <<AccessToken>> Content-Type: Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/testfile1.txt"} You might put into a variable the following and just replace MyFilename with the clicked text. ...

In my stack click on the top left check box to show the steps to get dropbox setup for use.
