#Python Dropbox API Examples

These are some examples of how you can use Python's Dropbox API in your projects.

Before we get started is necessary to do a few steps to configure dropbox and your environment.

First of all we need to create a new APP in your dropbox account https://www.dropbox.com/developers/apps. If you don't have an account you can register here.

Then you must install Dropbox Package in your environment. It can be done using pip command:

pip install dropbox

This command will install Dropbox API and all its dependency needed to get started.

Add your Dropbox information into your system variables to be more easy and quickly run the examples. Into a Linux the export command can handle it

export DROPBOX_APP_KEY=<your_app_key>
export DROPBOX_APP_SECRET=<your_app_secret>
export DROPBOX_APP_TOKEN=<your_app_token>

More information about environment variables in Linux systems can be found here.

These examples where run using Python 3.3
