    I am using Python 3.11.   I finally figured out how to get to the url through trial and error.  Dropbox documentation on Python needs to be updated to explicitly state how the return values are processed.  Otherwise, it can be a nightmare.  I know you guys don't support language specifics on how to extract the parameter values but it would be nice to have this documented.  Thank you

     

     shared_link_metadata = sharing_get_shared_links(path=save_product_path)

            iterator = iter(shared_link_metadata.links)
            print(iterator)
            for item in iterator:
                shared_link = item.url
