Create Shared Link in Python

I'm trying to create a shared link for a file -- it returns the file object, so I assume it's working correctly, but the shared_link object in the file object is "none". Any thoughts on this?

 

    params = {
        'shared_link':{}
    }

    resp = client.make_put_request('https://api.box.com/2.0/files/{fileid}?fields=',params).json()
    print(resp)


class BoxClient(BoxClient):
    def make_put_request(self, url: str, params: dict = None) -> 
        headers = self._get_headers()
        return requests.put(url, params=params, headers=headers)

   The `params` keyword argument in `requests.put()` refers to query string parameters, but the `dict` you construct with `'shared_link': {}` in it needs to be passed via the body (which is called `data` in requests).  You should be able to do something like this instead:

   

  import json
  
  params = {
          'shared_link':{}
      }
  
      resp = client.make_put_request('https://api.box.com/2.0/files/{fileid}?fields=',params).json()
      print(resp)
  
  
  class BoxClient(BoxClient):
      def make_put_request(self, url: str, params: dict = None) -> 
          headers = self._get_headers()
          return requests.put(url, data=json.dumps(params), headers=headers)
