Python: An example of sharing_get_shared_link_file() in the dropbox API

Can anybody share an example of using sharing_get_shared_link_file() method in the dropbox API? I cannot seem to be able to get it working.

I keep getting the error:

'_io.TextIOWrapper' object has no attribute 'request'

Thank you.

Here's an example of using the sharing_get_shared_link_file method in the official Dropbox API v2 Python SDK to download a file from Dropbox shared link:

import dropbox

ACCESS_TOKEN = "<redacted>"

dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(ACCESS_TOKEN)

shared_link = "https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1emirfeqbnu8tu/hello.txt?dl=0"

metadata, res = dbx.sharing_get_shared_link_file(url=shared_link)

print(metadata)
print(res.text)  # or res.content, or iter_content, or iter_lines, etc. as needed

metadata is the SharedLinkMetadata for the file, and res is the requests.Response that you can use to download the file content.
