title: How to get the link of a file using Dropbox python API?
body: <p>So the Dropbox API is weird when "Downloading a file" with the Python version. It gives metadata about the file, but it doesn't actually download the file. Which is <em>weird</em> considering their API documentation says files_download(path) says it will download a file from a Dropbox when it just gets metadata. </p>
  
  <pre><code>k = dbx.files_get_temporary_link('/' + str(message))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is a line of code that will bypass the files_download but where Metadata stops, more begins. When ran, it will throw out this class:</p>
  
  <pre><code>GetTemporaryLinkResult(metadata=FileMetadata(name='buiEKTw.png', id='id:8ZPbLGM5GIAAAAAAAAAACg', client_modified=datetime.datetime(2016, 11, 22, 1, 26, 27), server_modified=datetime.datetime(2016, 11, 22, 1, 26, 27), rev='e5047428b', size=905, path_lower='/buiektw.png', path_display='/buiEKTw.png', parent_shared_folder_id=None, media_info=None, sharing_info=None, property_groups=None, has_explicit_shared_members=None), link='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/apitl/1/AAAzE5ljMmZZ8jxjcKAh_uIym9Hy7tfC4Z67zvzMpakZDqhoje2BgXE9bTz1-dyy2QIuQJbJKiVfD1RvY4PI4AS1sPhTDRSgqpXMU7XBasZ_gw5lNEpyGiYM-m5lQDozXf6oP7WAJjb1NqwRlQuPfRHpsJq7PRn4alBddVdzb6MZTyBdlvzd55hcxqhbU3d9o84mOR9qGh3zl6rSzYUWbhr7RoQVscpq2qug-lnTelc9eQ')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I just want the link at the end of the class/metadata and I can't seem to get it. The link itself is 280 characters and with the quotes is 282. And the metadata is subject to change everytime it gets the metadata.</p>
