Hi @Kaya , welcome to the forum!
I’m not really sure I understood your message, can you elaborate on your use case and include some examples?
Consider this shared folder from an external entity:
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items' \
--header 'boxapi: shared_link=https://nihcc.app.box.com/v/ChestXray-NIHCC' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer u1...S' \
results in:
{
"type": "folder",
"id": "36938765345",
"sequence_id": "0",
"etag": "0",
"name": "CXR8",
"created_at": "2017-09-01T11:33:07-07:00",
"modified_at": "2023-09-11T08:31:28-07:00",
"description": "",
"size": 45132995251,
"path_collection": {
"total_count": 0,
"entries": :]
},
"created_by": {
"type": "user",
"id": "1972882659",
"name": "Summers, Ronald (NIH/CC/DRD) )e]",
"login": "RSummers@cc.nih.gov"
},
"modified_by": {
"type": "user",
"id": "1972882659",
"name": "Summers, Ronald (NIH/CC/DRD) )e]",
"login": "RSummers@cc.nih.gov"
},

"login": "RSummers@cc.nih.gov"
},
"shared_link": null,
"folder_upload_email": null,
"parent": null,
"item_status": "active"
}
Now if I get the items for the folder:
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/36938765345/items' \
--header 'boxapi: shared_link=https://nihcc.app.box.com/v/ChestXray-NIHCC' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 7O...DIz' \
It returns:

With a total count of 14, but these would include files and folders.
Help us understand your use case a bit better.
Best regards
I’m so sorry @Kaya , seems I’ve completely missed your point.
Having said that, you are kind of stuck, the only way to get that information using the API is via the shared link it self, when explicitly created.
Not sure what your exact use case is, however, in the administration console there are quite a few reports related with content:
Perhaps you can explore some of them and see if any fits your needs.
Here is some documentation on the admin reports.
Let us know if this helps
Best regards
