So you could pass a file to the method too, but that’ll have to wait Metadata about any folder in your Dropbox. For example, you can get your account information or a bunch of Instantiated and you can extract all kinds of information about yourĭropbox. I tried to find a way to cache the request token, but IĪlways got an error about my token being expired, so this script willĪlways pop up a browser window asking you to “Allow” your applicationĪccess to your Dropbox. Then I use configobj to extract that information into a Pythonĭictionary. I put my key and secret into a config file that looks something like this: key = someKey Path = os.path.join(self.path, self.filename) Upload a file to dropbox, returns file info dict
Return a dictionary of information about a folderįolder_metadata = (folder)įolder_metadata = ("/") Returns the account information, such as user's display name, Self.client = (session)ĭef download_file(self, filename=None, outDir=None):ĭownload either the file passed to the class or the file passedį, metadata = _file_and_metadata("/" + fname) Please make sure this application is allowed before continuing."Īccess_token = session.obtain_access_token(request_token) Url = session.build_authorize_url(request_token) Request_token = session.obtain_request_token() Print "ERROR: config.ini not found! Exiting!" Self.base_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(_file_))Ĭonfig_path = os.path.join(self.base_path, "config.ini") Here’s what I came up with:ĭropbox object that can access your dropbox folder,Īs well as download and upload files to dropboxĭef _init_(self, filename=None, path='/'): Now we’re ready to start writing some code. Once you have that, you’ll need to name your application and choose your access level. You will also need to sign up for a key and secret. You’ll need to download their dropbox module to follow along or use “pip install dropbox” to install it. I ended up using their tutorial to design a simple class for accessing my Dropbox.
Yesterday, I stumbled on to Dropbox’s Python API.
