Hi Asharaf,
To create shared link(s) to either file(s) or folder(s) you can use corresponding methods. For an idea in Python, you can take a look here. Every received link, in such a way, points to preview page (not the actual file or folder)! To download pointed content, you need to 'transform' preview link to download link. Just replace the ending parameter (dl) value from 0 to 1 (i.e. replace ending "?dl=0" to "?dl=1") and you can download using whatever method convenient for you. One more thing you should take in mind is that your web client should support redirection (codes 3XX - that Dropbox uses - not only 2XX)!
Good luck.
