python SDK - Create file requests
I would like to create a file request through the python API. I am however puzzled as to how to do that. Should I use the class EventCategory? Reading the documentation I dint understand what to put to the parameters 'tag' and 'value'. Or maybe teh EvenDetail using this method:
dropbox.team_log.EventDetails(tag=?, value=?).file_request_change_folder_details(val=?)
But once again, I fail at guessing the expected and available tags and values.
Any hint?
Thanks for your time!

The Dropbox API doesn't offer the ability to programmatically create file requests unfortunately, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.- Greg-DB

The Dropbox API now offers the ability to get, list, create, and update file requests. In the Python SDK, this is available via the file_requests_* methods:
