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!

Do I need to say (or rather repeat) that you have it done already? 🤔
Okay, still confused.
You said, "As I supposed you have skipped the refresh token" and then you said, "I have done it already". Did I skip the refresh token, or did I do it correctly?
Sorry, but your reply really didn't help.
Nobody can help you when you don't read your own writings!
Yes, you have requested and received refresh token (offline declaration is enough), but later skipped it. You have fetched from the result only access token, but not the refresh token! 🤦 Why?
I cannot say it clearer.
PS: The example here shows how you can do it - to initialize client object from oauth result.
