Python metadata help
In V1 as metadata was returned in a dictionary all i had to do was myMeta.get("name") to get the name of an item for examle.
Whats the best way to get direct info in V2
Do i have to regex the metadata object to get name or content hash or is there better way?
I'm glad to hear you sorted this out already. Yes, you can directly access those fields like that, no regex necessary.
For anyone else looking for this, here's that sample cleaned up:
import dropbox dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("<ACCESS_TOKEN>") myDir = dbx.files_list_folder("") for item in myDir.entries: if isinstance(item, dropbox.files.FileMetadata): name = item.name fileID = item.id fileHash = item.content_hash print(name, fileID, fileHash)
ok i think i sussed this.
so if i was was to do
myDir = dbx.files_list_folder() for item in myDir: if isinstance(item, dropbox.filemetadata): name = item.name fileID = item.id fileHash = item.content_hash
etc etc
