oc.share_file_with_link() raising 996 error #284
Description
Hi all,
I'm trying to automatically create share links to videofiles stored on my owncloud account (see script further down). Connection to the ownCloud server and extraction of filenames stored in the directory of interest work fine. Now when I run the oc.share_file_with_link() function (on a file path that is recognized on the server), I run into the following error message:
"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\Users..\pyocclient\owncloud\owncloud.py", line 904, in share_file_with_link
self._check_ocs_status(tree)
File "C:\Users..\pyocclient\owncloud\owncloud.py", line 1740, in _check_ocs_status
raise OCSResponseError(r)
owncloud.owncloud.OCSResponseError: OCS error: 996
"
I'm aware of similar issues, namely #218 #259 and #263, yet nothing in these threads could help me (I tried) probably coz the error they address is a 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text', while mine is this 'raise OCSResponseError(r)
owncloud.owncloud.OCSResponseError: OCS error: 996'.
I've spent days trying all I could but am stuck, any help would be SUPER appreciated! Thanks much in advance.

PS1: maybe unrelated but in case that speaks to anyone, I get a 'WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -yocclient' when running the 'pip install requests' of the manual installation procedure. Then the rest of the procedure (
$ git clone https://github.com/owncloud/pyocclient.git
$ cd pyocclient
$ python setup.py install
) runs fine.
PS2: The script in case that helps:
python
import owncloud
import csv
ownCloud server credentials
server_url = 'https://owncloud-bigdata.fibl.org'
username = 'myname'
password = 'mypwd'
Folder path and public link base URL
folder_path = 'Test_Videos_SchweinErleben'
public_link_base_url = 'https://owncloud-bigdata.fibl.org/index.php/s/uD6pNUE0U9Om8Pn'
Connect to the ownCloud server
oc = owncloud.Client(server_url)
oc.login(username, password)
Get the folder contents
folder_contents = oc.list(folder_path)
Define the path to save the CSV file
csv_file_path = 'C:/Users/../Desktop/test.csv'
Create a CSV file
with open(csv_file_path, 'w', newline='') as csv_file:
writer = csv.writer(csv_file)
writer.writerow(['File', 'Public Link'])
# Iterate through files in the folder
for file_info in folder_contents:
if not file_info.is_dir():
file_name = file_info.get_name()
file_path = folder_path + '/' + file_name
print(file_path)
# Generate public link for the file
public_link_url = oc.share_file_with_link(file_path)
# Write file name and public link to the CSV file
writer.writerow([file_name, public_link_url])
Disconnect from the ownCloud server
oc.logout()
