How do I extract the url from sharing_get_shared_links?
I am stuck in getting the url from sharing_get_shared_links? Been trying all day with no success. I had no issue with the create_link but that also returns a slew of data which it has the url but ...

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

The sharing_get_shared_links method returns a GetSharedLinksResult object which contains a 'links' field which is a list of LinkMetadata; on each of those you can access the 'url' field to get the URL.
So, the code to print out each URL would look like this:
for link in shared_link_metadata.links:
print(link.url)
By the way, /2/sharing/get_shared_links is deprecated in favor of /2/sharing/list_shared_links, so please use sharing_list_shared_links instead of sharing_get_shared_links. The code for reading the URLs would work the same way.
