Set expiration of streamble link via /media

Hey there,

I'm using the Dropbox PHP SDK to create a streamable link via the /media API reference, by calling createTemporaryDirectLink($path) in PHP.
Is there any chance to influence the lifetime of the link I get? Or at least something to doublecheck how long the created link will be available?
Would be awesome!

Thanks in advance,
Niko

    Ah I did no know that. I will try the share option and convert the URL to the long expiry one. Do you know how long they stay alive for? 

    I'm basically trying to get a direct URL for an image which will last longer than 4h. 6 months - 1 year trough your API.
