Hello Box Gurus,

 

Trying to extract retention policies. But getting an error.  Is my API endpoint correct ?

 

sdk = JWTAuth(
client_id="myclientid",
client_secret="myclientsecret",
enterprise_id="12345",
jwt_key_id="myjwtkeyid",
rsa_private_key_file_sys_path="myprivate.pem",
)

client = Client(sdk)
retention_policies = client.get_retention_policies()

 

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'get_retention_policies'

   It looks like you're using the Box Python SDK — what version are you on?  That method was only added in v2.0.0, which was recently released.

  Awesome. That was it. Running an older version of sdk. Did a pip upgrade and error went away. I have a follow up question.

   

  How do I access/iterate through this object ?

   

   

  Thanks Again.

   The Python SDK docs have examples for how to use most of the functions of the SDK — please refer to those.  In general, for API endpoints that return a collection, the SDK returns an iterator that you can use in a for-in loop or manually advance by calling next() on it.

  I did try to iterate, but it was giving me an error. After closer inspection, I found my authentication needs higher privileges. 

   

  "error_description="The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token."'

   

  Thanks again for the quick response. Really appreciated.
