Hi

How to expire a shared link in 1 minutes? I'm trying but doesn't work, when i try with days works properly.

Sorry for my english

Thanks

Setting the expiration to 1 minute in the future is working fine for me. Can you share your code and the error you're getting? Thanks in advance!

Hi

I'm getting this error:

dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ('b5fdf345d4f997fe803468c16f5ceba0', CreateSharedLinkWithSettingsError('settings_error', SharedLinkSettingsError('invalid_settings', None)))

Code:

import datetime
import dropbox

dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(APP_TOKKEN)
expires = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=1)
shared_link_settings = dropbox.sharing.SharedLinkSettings(expires=expires)
shared_link_metadata = dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings("/test.txt", settings=shared_link_settings)
print(shared_link_metadata)

Thanks for helping me

Thanks Joel, that's helpful. The API expects UTC, so you should instead do:

expires = datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=1)
