Export legacy paper via python sdk does not work
Hi, I am using the latest dropbox-sdk-python. Here is my python code:
import os
import dropbox
from dropbox.paper import ExportFormat
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(os.getenv('DROPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN')...
jianliao I just tried this out with an account on legacy Paper and I was able to get the body of the document using paper_docs_download_to_file and ExportFormat.markdown. Can you double check that the particular document for the doc ID you're specifying has a non-empty body, e.g., on the Dropbox web site?
As for using paper_docs_download, that returns a (dropbox.paper.PaperDocExportResult, requests.models.Response), you can access the data like this, for example:
metadata, response = dbx.paper_docs_download(DOC_ID, ExportFormat.markdown) print(response.text)
