Create shared link error tells me nothing

Hi, i'm doing a file search via dropbox.files_search("my folder path") and would like to create shared-links for each of the results via dropbox.sharing_create_shared_link(match.metadata.path_lower).  

It throws a CreateSharedLinkError and I'm not able to get any useful information out of this.  Trying to catch exception as ApiError, printing e.error or e.user_message_text tells me nothing besides "CreateSharedLinkError(u'other')".  

How can I get more information as to what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks for the report, and apologies for the unhelpful error message! This endpoint is temporarily unavailable as we finish up support for it in the API v2 preview.
