Unable to get long lived access tokens.

Hello there!

 

I'm trying to get an access token that doesn't expire. A long-lived access token. For now, when I generated an access token from the App Console, the session will expire after x hours and won't give me a refresh token either.

I've checked the authentication documentation: 

 

https://developers.dropbox.com/oauth-guide#implementing-oauth

 

But I can't find the Access Token Expiration like the documentation shows:

 

 

Mine is displayed like this: 

 

As you can see, the option for the Expiration is missing. 

So I kept looking and came across a similar question on the forums and I followed every step: 

https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Tokens-only-valid-for-4-hours-from-app-console/m-p/425358/highlight/true#M22718

 

Still can't get a long-lived access token.

 

Here's a test code: 

 

 

 

access_token = "sl-ABC" # I want a long lived one.
app_key = "xyz"
dbxTeam: dropbox = dropbox.DropboxTeam(oauth2_access_token=access_token, app_key=app_key)
print('Dbx Team is: ', dbxTeam.as_user('dbmid:MY_USER_ID').users_get_current_account())

 

 

 

output:

 

 

 

{
'_oauth2_access_token':'sl....',
'_oauth2_refresh_token': None,
'_oauth2_access_token_expiration': None,
'_app_key': 'xyz',
'_app_secret': None,
'_scope': None,
'_max_retries_on_error': 4,
'_max_retries_on_rate_limit': None,

'_session': <requests.sessions.Session object at 0x1083b1730>,
'_headers': None,
'_raw_user_agent': None,
'_user_agent': 'OfficialDropboxPythonSDKv2/11.28.0',
'_logger': <Logger dropbox (WARNING)>,
'_host_map': {'api': 'api.dropboxapi.com',
'content': 'content.dropboxapi.com',
'notify': 'notify.dropboxapi.com'},
'_timeout': 100}

 

 

Any ideas on how to get a token that won't expire?
