Set expiration of streamble link via /media

Niko H.

Hey there,

I'm using the Dropbox PHP SDK to create a streamable link via the /media API reference, by calling createTemporaryDirectLink($path) in PHP.

Is there any chance to influence the lifetime of the link I get? Or at least something to doublecheck how long the created link will be available?

Would be awesome!

Thanks in advance,

Niko

Okay, so I found out myself how to GET the expiration date. A quick look and crawl through the code made me write this little snippet:

---

$response = $dbxClient->doPost(

$dbxClient->getHost()->getApi(),

$dbxClient->appendFilePath("1/media", $path)

);

if ($response->statusCode === 404) return null;

if ($response->statusCode !== 200) throw RequestUtil::unexpectedStatus($response);

$responseBody = json_decode($response->body);

echo $responseBody->expires;

---

So I learn, that expiration times are approx 4 hours. Fine! :-)

But can I influence this?
