How do I make apiError as a string

chunchk

Hello, I am new in here

I try to develop a script that can auto email a Dropbox link to someone

I am using .sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings to determine does the file had been shared or not

However, now I encounter a new python exception which is "not_found",

my situation is, now I have 2 python exceptions, "not_found" and "shared_link_already_exists"

my question is, how do I let python know that the exception is "not_found" or "shared_link_already_exists" , so I can code some actions depends on the different exception

Here's an example of how you can tell apart different errors:

 

import dropbox
from dropbox.exceptions import ApiError

dbx = dropbox.Dropbox("<ACCESS_TOKEN>")

try:
    print(dbx.sharing_create_shared_link_with_settings("/test222.txt"))
except ApiError as err:
    if err.error.is_shared_link_already_exists():
        print("Link already exists.")
    if err.error.is_path() and err.error.get_path().is_not_found():
        print("File not found.")
    elif err.error.is_settings_error():
        print(err.error.get_settings_error())
    else:
        print(err)
