That was it, needed to add the app_secret along with the app_key and refresh token in order to get proper authentication. Now, just working to clear up some file conflict errors.

 

 

UploadError('path', UploadWriteFailed(reason=WriteError('conflict', WriteConflictError('file', None))

 

 

Will have to do after taking care of puppy dog.

 

AND, Done.
