Python API Short-lived access token for Dropbox
I may not be fully understanding this, but here's the issue. I'm trying to get a short-lived token that can be used repeatedly. The first time through, I am prompting through the command line. I can ...
Okay, I see the problem, and now realize that it's time for me to retire from this business😔!!
I was pasting the initial code from the Dropbox authorization section, which is used to obtain the access token instead of the actual access token. That's where the confusion was. I'm familiar with what the access token should look like, so I'm not sure why I didn't recognize that earlier.
It's working now. Thanks for your help and patience!
PHAnetwork, What is the meaning of word "short" (either about token or whatever else)? 🧐
Of course, I hope you know. In the same context why are you surprised that a short-lived access token expires?
Your code is wrong (the second part) of course. As I supposed you have skipped the refresh token (part of the result also). In addition you have to add the applications key and secret (needed for automated token refreshing).
Hope this gives direction.
Actually, it's the Refresh Token process that I'm struggling with. I can't seem to find out how to request a refresh token using the Python API.
