Slow response using Dropbox for Python
Hello, My python code has been working well for months. Within the past 48 hours, the files_download command in the snippet below (with tokens obfuscated) has started to take about 45 seconds while previously it was instantaneous. It is the last line that is the culprit. import dropbox DROPBOX_APP_KEY = "?????" DROPBOX_APP_SECRET = "?????" DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN = "????" dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(app_key=DROPBOX_APP_KEY, app_secret=DROPBOX_APP_SECRET, oauth2_refresh_token=DROPBOX_REFRESH_TOKEN) metadata, f = dbx.files_download('/alerts.csv') Any suggestions? With thanks, DavidError reading file async
I had a problem to download a file ( an Image ) and someone recommended to me to do asynchronously. I changed my code so : Async Function _take_file(ByVal _file As String) As Task .... Dim client As HttpClient = New HttpClient() Dim _Request As HttpRequestMessage = New HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download") _Request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + _token) _Request.Headers.Add("Dropbox-API-Arg", _parametro) Dim _response As HttpResponseMessage = Await client.SendAsync(_Request) Dim _responseStream As Stream = Await _response.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync() Dim myStreamReader As New StreamReader(_responseStream) I have an error on the last line : System.NullReferenceException was unhandled Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in mscorlib.dllDownload file by Api ( Files/download ) , no error no file
I try to dowload a file by a Api . I have no error and a response with "OK" but i don't see the file. Have i donwloaded it ? where ? can i set up the local directory where save it ? This is my code : ( a big doubt is in content-Type ) Dim _command As String _command = "https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/download" Dim Request As HttpWebRequest Request = HttpWebRequest.Create(_command) Request.Method = "POST" Request.KeepAlive = True ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Ssl3 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls11 Or SecurityProtocolType.Tls Request.ContentType = "application/octet-stream" Request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.154 Safari/537.36" ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = CType(48, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(192, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(768, SecurityProtocolType) Or CType(3072, SecurityProtocolType) Request.AllowAutoRedirect = True Request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " & _token) Request.Headers.Add("Dropbox-API-Arg", _parameter) Try Dim Response As HttpWebResponse = Request.GetResponse() Catch ex As WebException Using response = CType(ex.Response, HttpWebResponse) Using reader = New IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()) _error = reader.ReadToEnd() End Using End Using Catch ex As Exception Throw End Try
I can't download files by command
Download files with wget Hello gentlemen of the community. I have a problem. I've been using "wget" since June 2021 to download a file and since then everything has been fine. But this morning the command does not respond and gives clues as to what may be happening. Below is the command I use and it was working: wget -q --no-check-certificate https://www.dropbox.com/s/4mf0awazg0z0ols/TESTE.7z -O TESTE.7z It simply skips a line without any message. I thank you in advance for your support. Marcos
