AssertionError: Expected content-type to be application/json, got 'application/grpc'
Hi, everybody! I have a simple Python script to create an archive and store it in Dropbox.
import subprocess
import os
import dropbox
import shutil
from datetime import datetime
class...
I just renewed the token, and all is good. Thank you for your time Greg-DB

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for following up. The API functionality you're attempting to use is available to all Dropbox plans/trials, and even if an API error is returned, it shouldn't be sent with that Content-Type.
It's unclear what would be causing this, so we'll need to look into this further. Can you please try running the following at least 5 times and send me the output? This will enable more verbose output which may be helpful for investigating this issue:
import http.client
http.client.HTTPConnection.debuglevel = 1
import dropbox
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox('ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE')
print(dbx.users_get_current_account())
Be sure to replace ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE with the access token you're using. As long as that access token starts with "sl." and it has been more than four hours since the access token has been created, please leave it in the output as it would be expired anyway and may be helpful for investigating this.
after multiple times

Well, I decided to create my own app for testing on my own current account.
Permission type - account_info.read - Scoped AppAnd
print(dbx.users_get_current_account())works just fine now.
Then I added files.content.write permission and tried my script from the first post and gotException has occurred: AuthError AuthError('1c1aa051ebc4408297c28154348ecaf8', AuthError('missing_scope', TokenScopeError(required_scope='files.content.write'))) File "/home/bazhin/dropbox/dropbox_backup.py", line 15, in upload upload_session_start_result = self.dbx.files_upload_session_start(f.read(self.CHUNK_SIZE)) File "/home/bazhin/dropbox/dropbox_backup.py", line 54, in <module> uploader.upload(archive_name, archive_size) dropbox.exceptions.AuthError: AuthError('1c1aa051ebc4408297c28154348ecaf8', AuthError('missing_scope', TokenScopeError(required_scope='files.content.write')))But I guess I have to wait for permission update or something, haven't I?
I just renewed the token, and all is good. Thank you for your time Greg-DB
