box.net API oauth refresh token without coding

I have the box.net API client_id and client_secret . I want to get a refresh token for some box account but i don't want to create the app for it.

what is easiest way to get the API refresh token and start using the API? maybe there is some app where i can enter my client_id, client_secret keys and then do the oauth process and finally copy my refresh token?

If you're just looking to play around with the API and prototype something, then you can create a developer token really easily. A developer token is identical to an access token except it can't be refreshed after it expires and it's only valid for your own Box account.

You can find it in your Box application settings under "OAuth2 Parameters":

You can use the Box Token Generator app to generate an access/refresh token pair for your client id/secret.
