I would like to clarify the API call limitations when using the CDATA JDBC driver. Specifically:

1. Are there any restrictions on the number of API calls that can be made using this driver?

2. It was mentioned on the Box website that Integration Partner API calls are not subject to usage charges. Can you confirm whether API calls made through the CDATA Box JDBC driver are also exempt from counting towards our client’s limit?

Additionally, if API calls made through the CDATA JDBC driver are chargeable, could you provide details on:

1. The cost structure once the API limit is exceeded.

2. Whether the Business Plus plan (which includes 50,000 API calls per month) covers these API calls, or if they are treated separately.

We understand that the final decision on API call charges rests with Box, but we would appreciate any clarification you can provide to ensure proper planning.

Hi, I will try to cover your questions here 

Other than standard rate limits there are no restrictions on using Box API with CDATA drivers or any other integrations, the question is more around pricing. 

Integrations that are part of our partner eco-system are generally not subject to API calls charging whereas custom apps build by customers and vendors who are not partners, generally are chargeable. From what I can see the CDATA JDBC drivers are part of our partnership with CDATA so these would not be charged.

The licence allowance you reference can be used for any API calls. 

If you exceed the monthly allowance more API calls can be purchased.
