Access Token Changes Every time I use it
Hi,
I'm working on a DIY motion detection project with a raspberry pi and I was able to save image files to my dropbox by using the generated access token (which is ridiculously long btw). My issue...
Originally I was using this code to upload to my dropbox folder...
---------------
from dropbox.client import DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect
from dropbox.client import DropboxClient
if conf["use_dropbox"]:
# connect to dropbox and start the session authorization process
flow = DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect(conf["dropbox_key"], conf["dropbox_secret"])
print "[INFO] Authorize this application: {}".format(flow.start())
authCode = raw_input("Enter auth code here: ").strip()
# finish the authorization and grab the Dropbox client
(accessToken, userID) = flow.finish(authCode)
client = DropboxClient(accessToken)
print "[SUCCESS] dropbox account linked"
---------------
With this, every time I ran the code, It would ask me to enter the dropbox link into my URL, enter my dropbox email and password, and then it would give me the access token.
I tried replacing the lines asking for the token with the token hard coded in...
print "[INFO] Authorize this application: {}".format(flow.start())
authCode = raw_input("Enter auth code here: ").strip()
with
authCode = ("ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE")
This worked once but then fails when I try to run the program again and I need to get another token.
