How do I make apiError as a string
Hello, I am new in here
I try to develop a script that can auto email a Dropbox link to someone
I am using .sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings to determine does the file had been shared or not
However, now I encounter a new python exception which is "not_found",
my situation is, now I have 2 python exceptions, "not_found" and "shared_link_already_exists"
my question is, how do I let python know that the exception is "not_found" or "shared_link_already_exists" , so I can code some actions depends on the different exception

Here's an example of how you can tell apart different errors:
import dropbox from dropbox.exceptions import ApiError dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("<ACCESS_TOKEN>") try: print(dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings("/test222.txt")) except ApiError as err: if err.error.is_shared_link_already_exists(): print("Link already exists.") if err.error.is_path() and err.error.get_path().is_not_found(): print("File not found.") elif err.error.is_settings_error(): print(err.error.get_settings_error()) else: print(err) Oh~I see~!
Thank you for your help
