multiple calls of `files_get_temporary_link`
Hello, I just got stuck when trying to call dbx.files_get_temporary_link(path) multiple times in python. because I need to create a bunch of links for a dynamically fed input (different paths...

Well, if you uncomment the second call, and hence have both ones running, it doesnât work anymore at my side. With the exact code I posted before.
Is that what you also tried, too? You said »both calls, each generating a unique link to the same file.« but it should be two different files. Just saying.
Now that I wanted to create a simplified version of the code for you, this one actually works. It is very weird though, because it ainât too different from my actual code. Iâll post the now working one here (maybe also as a refernece for others). But I still donât understand why my other code doesnât work.#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import dropbox import os import traceback access_token = '*****' dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(access_token) def getTemporaryLink(dbx, folder, name): path = '/%s/%s' % (folder, name) try: link = dbx.files_get_temporary_link(path) except dropbox.exceptions.HttpError as err: print '*** HTTP error', err return None return link products = ["One.zip", "Two.zip"] temporaryLinks = [] for product in products: x = getTemporaryLink(dbx, "myFolder", product) temporaryLinks.append(x) for linkResult in temporaryLinks: print linkResult.link

I have an error regarding files_get_temporary_link, how to trouble shooting this?
dropbox.exceptions.ApiError: ApiError('4d0b8810a976a3c06b9f77f38464199c', GetTemporaryLinkError(u'path', LookupError(u'not_found', None)))

7 years agoaesanne You can find information on each of the errors in the documentation here.
The 'not_found' error means "There is nothing at the given path". You should check the 'path' value you're supplying to the call to make sure you're supplying a valid one.
One good way to check what is in the account is to call files_list_folder with path="". That will list the contents of the root that your app has access to. (I.e., the root of the Dropbox account, for full Dropbox apps, or the root of the app folder, for app folder apps.)
Anyway, this seems to be a different problem than what this thread was for, so if you're still having trouble, please open a new thread with more details so we don't spam the other people on this thread.
