(I asked this on superuser but got no response ...)
I'm trying to follow the tutorial for the Dropbox API at http://taught-process.blogspot.com/2012/05/asdlasd-asda-sd-asd-asdasd.html
But when I get to the last part
#Print the token for future reference
print access_token
What I get back is
<dropbox.session.OAuthToken object at 0x1102d4210>
How do I get the actual token? It should look something like:
oauth_token_secret=xxxxxxx&oauth_token=yyyyyyy
(I'm on a Mac)
Look around in the properties and methods of the object, to do so apply "dir" on the object. In your case:
dir(access_token)
I'm pretty sure you're gonna find in this object something that will give you the token you need.
access_token.key and access_token.secret values.You've got the right object, yes. But you're dealing with an instance of a class.
<dropbox.session.OAuthToken object at 0x1102d4210>
This is an instance of the OAuthToken object the Dropbox SDK created for you. This token appears to have two attributes: key and secret. These would be your token key and secret. This is what you're after.
You can access them like this:
print access_token.key
print access_token.secret
Using the same tutorial for the Dropbox API at http://taught-process.blogspot.com/2012/05/asdlasd-asda-sd-asd-asdasd.html
Ended up with the following script that worked for me
# Include the Dropbox SDK libraries
from dropbox import client, rest, session
# Get your app key and secret from the Dropbox developer website
APP_KEY = '3w7xv4d9lrkc7c3'
APP_SECRET = '1v5f80mztbd3m9t'
# ACCESS_TYPE should be 'dropbox' or 'app_folder' as configured for your app
ACCESS_TYPE = 'app_folder'
sess = session.DropboxSession(APP_KEY, APP_SECRET, ACCESS_TYPE)
request_token = sess.obtain_request_token()
url = sess.build_authorize_url(request_token)
# Make the user sign in and authorize this token
print "url:", url
print "Please visit this website and press the 'Allow' button, then hit 'Enter' here."
raw_input()
# This will fail if the user didn't visit the above URL
access_token = sess.obtain_access_token(request_token)
#Print the token for future reference
print access_token.key
print access_token.secret
