Python implementation for shared link metadata

I was not able to find the Python implementation of the "shared link metadata" endpoint to do what is listed here: https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/08/new-api-endpoint-shared-link-metadata/ ...

We definitely should improve the documentation around this. I've sent this along to the team to do so.

I imagine there may be several use cases for retrieving metadata about a file it already has access to, e.g., if it doesn't know and needs to look up the original file path. 

Anyway, please give it a try, but I don't think your exact use case is currently supported on that endpoint. I can't make any promises, but I've sent this along as a request.
