#tags in the Python API
Hey! Is it possible to add #tags to files and/or folders using the API? I had a quick scan of the docs but couldn’t find it and the search function doesn’t work.
Anyone know?
😁 Seems, you haven't read my previous posts. Take a look on them more careful. Can you find the link? 🧐🙂
Hi Nprice,
Take a look here: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-tags-add 😉 for API end-point.
Hope this helps.
For Dropbox Python SDK method take a look here.
- That’s helpful! Thank you
Maybe you can save me some time: would I get the file URL / access the file using Python and then throw each URL + tags into an API url and call it with requests?
I’m new-ish to Python so any pointers would be appreciated!To be honest, I'm not sure what you ask me actually. You don't need any URL neither actual file to add a tag. The only thing you need is a regular file path (aside of the tag itself), nothing else. This is the same both when using direct API endpoint access or the same through any Dropbox SDK (including Python). There is nothing Python specific. If you mean something else, clarify your question.
Lucky jump into the deep of programming. 😉
