Hello all,
I am using the Box API to upload files, which is working fine. But I would like to know is there a way to retrieve the “direct link” from the same api? And how would I set the sharing permissions so that my web app can access the file?
My use case is:
1- Upload an image using the box API.
2- Retrieve the image URL.
3- Use the image URL in a web app. (as an image source)
Current issues:
1- No clear way to generate the direct link from the API. It seems I have to share it in another API call. Or download it every time a user wants to preview it on the web app.
2- No clear way to set CORS/viewing permissions without authenticating each user. (I would like to use my service account).
What I’m looking for:
-Add a property that automatically shares the file when it’s uploaded in the same API.
-Have a whitelist for the web app domain or a way to allow it to preview without making the links public.
Thank you!
