API

 I only used Box and Practice questions with study guide to prepare for the exam for 2 weeks.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i5y-X-17RVirib6URVZOqzkIMd37Vw_6nBXuk07ahDc/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p6lesgmecr55

Specifically, I need to understand:If an app user or service account starts a pre-configured workflow through the API (POST /workflows/{workflow_id}/start) Can they add another app user as a task assignee at the time of starting this workflow? I've checked the Box Developer Documentation but couldn't find specific information about this capability. Any documentation references or real-world experience would be helpful.Thank you in advance for your help!

I am working on my first Box API calls. I am using Postman at the moment and was finally able to get the API to access a token to work and I have retrieved a token. I then take that token and send as authorization to the API to list the items in a folder. The Box application that was created for this purpose is a CCG application and I am passing the client ID and secret and the box subject type is enterprise.. When I call the API to get the folder items, it tells me “session expired” even though I had just retrieved the access token. What am I doing wrong?

Dear all, I like to create the applications that get the meta data, and enteprirse plus version already 100k PAI calls included. WHat kind of cost will be considered per a request? I would like to get the meta data of the each files, and folder, and structures, and i would like to search those through the app. I will implement the AI around this app. that extract some files contents, and display in the UI. Please help with this cost associated iwth the Box API

Can I change  Max File Size from the Account details?or configure it for an user? we need to decrease the max size limit of the uploaded file 

Iam trying to index the files to Open search using Box. I have a requirement for the incremental indexing. Whenever a file/folder is uploaded in Box, it should trigger the API and the files should be indexed into Opensearch.

Hello!  We’re a company exploring cloud storage solutions for a project we’re building for our clients, and Box is at the top of our list. Before moving forward, we want to confirm whether the platform can meet some specific requirements, particularly around user access and download control.Below, I’ve outlined our key needs, and we’d greatly appreciate any insights on whether these features are supported natively or can be achieved using the API. Storage Capacity: We require at least 10TB of cloud storage to share with multiple users (between 100 and 1,000 users). Access for Users: Users should be able to access shared folders via the desktop app without requiring local storage space (e.g., files remain in the cloud and download on demand). They will have view-only permissions, allowing them to open and preview files but not edit them. Download Control: It is critical for us to monitor and restrict downloads per user over defined time periods. For example: Users on a trial perio

Hello, I have a box standard account and want to upload artefacts/files from our Gitlab pipeline to the account. Since the upload is done from a pipeline, I decided I created a box app with client credentials grant authentication. When I execute the authentication command below, I get :  {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Grant credentials are invalid"} curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" \     -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \     -d "client_id=craxv9gzavoiyj5knhu88kot0yv3sej6" \     -d "client_secret=XXXXXXXXXX" \     -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \     -d "box_subject_type=enterprise"  \     -d "box_subject_id= 0"The client_id and client_secret are correct.  I tried providing “user” as box_subject_type and my user id but it didn’t succeed either.Additionally, I also tried to set the access level to “App + Enterprise Access”. I read that I need to create a service account. However, I can’t find any settings to do this. I read in oth

Hello,Please, anyone has some tips to solve this problem with images storage with BOX platform   

I’m a developer together with Coro Cybersecurity and we add a layer of security on top of box.  The customer gives us access to box, and we make sure there is nothing in this data layer that could compromise their security. One of our requirements is to get a list of all integrations that are active for a given customer.I’ve been playing around with the console and you can clearly see that there is a list of integrations both available and installed in distinct tabs. However, I cannot find an endpoint that allows me to query for them.I’ve got two questions:Is my assumption correct, that you do not allow to programatically get information about these integrations? If the answer to 1 is yes, will this ever be supported?The closest thing I’ve seen to what I want is here: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-integration-mappings-slack/ but the documentation is broken at some points and I’m not sure we would want to offer this feature to our customers without it being fully complete. I t

I have implemented the Box Content Viewer including the Content Sidebar showing activities. The sidebar contains a drop-down that should allow you to add a task. When clicking this I get two options, but when I select one of the options nothing more happens. It should open a dialog where you can enter your task.Anyone knows how to fix this?

Hello everyone,At work, I am often shared a box.com link and I have to download the files in those shared link as part of my day to day work. So I need to open the link in a browser, select the files and then download them.Due to the number of files I need to process, I am trying to automate these steps. Using AI tools, I have managed to come up with a VBA code that would download publicly shared files (For reference I am not allowed to install other programming language, so VBA is my only option).The problem is that it only works for publicly shared files, my company use an enterprise version of box.com and the url shared are like this:https://COMPANYNAME.ent.box.com/s/RANDOMNUMBERS&LETTERS The file links are then found and they are:https://COMPANYNAME.ent.box.com/s/RANDOMNUMBERS&LETTERS/file/FILEID Is there any way I can modify it to make it work with the API. If anyone is interested, I am trying the following code, I just cant download the correct file Sub DownloadFileFromBo

I tried to get all representations of a file like this:curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"I just get the message: no matches found. If I omit ?fields=representations I do get a response, so it looks like ?fields=representations is not working.I also tried getting a basic thumbnail:curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/thumbnail.png" \     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"I do get a file, but it’s just a generic image showing the file type.Is there any way to get a thumbnail that shows some of the actual content of a PDF file?

Hello, I have a question. I am currently integrating Box into my application using free account. I am wondering if I need any approval from Box or am I allowed to integrate Box into my own web application and use Read/Write rights? Thanks, Luka

Hello, This is less a question and more a suggestion. Could there be a way to see managed users in the share function so that a box could be ticked next to the username rather than typing each person’s name into the share box. This would be especially helpful given that we cannot share hubs with a group. If so, having a “share with all” button would also be very helpful. Thank you

Hi Team,I am working on creating Box Wrapper Service that will be using Box SDK for various tasks like Create Folder, Assign permissions, memberships, etc. We are planning to use Box File Request for Upload and Box Preview(in modal popup) to Preview and Download files.I need deployment suggestion on whether to keep the Box wrapper service as Azure App Service vs Azure Function. What are the pros and cons on one vs other? What should be the conclusion.

We are using Box to integrate file retrieval for clients. When searching for these files we are only provided with a folder name. We are using the api.box.com/2.0/folders/ endpoint passing in the parent folder Id. We are iterating over several pages to find the target folder name. When deployed to a production environment, we are noticing that we are unable to find the Folder through API. When testing locally we find the folder every time.We are investigating why this could happen and were hoping to get some insight from Box Support to see how things are moving on your end. Thank you 

I have access to both the Box API and MS Graph API to make edits to both systems however I am not sure if an API exists to change the Box Tab configuration to map a new channel to a specific box folder. Does anything how if endpoints exist for this functionality?

I configured a raspberry pi 4 to be a cellular modem using the SixFab cellular modem kit The kit includes a SixFabBase Hat, LTE modem, antennas and a Sixfab core. I am using a in house sim card. The pi runs a python code to find the RSSI, RSRQ & SINR values every 5 minutes using Cron. Then another code to upload the text file to box every day. The issue I am facing here is that is that the JWTAuth is not working for me. Apparently, it doesn’t recognize my folder. It says it is it uploading the files to the root folder but I don’t see the file there as well.
