API

We want to avoid getting charged when moving some files from box to sharepoint. apparently there is the API issue where we have to manually download one file by one file vs using boxs ability to download and move but we wanted to make sure we knew the exact difference and options before we spent hours moving files for an important peoject. 

I'm having problems with API requests to my Box.com account. I'm trying to read the contents of an XML file in Box, but I'm getting a 403 error code. Is this because I only have a starter account on Box?

Hi,I have a question regarding OAuth authentication in Box. Currently, we are using the Splunk Add-on for Box, and I am trying to configure the account using OAuth to collect file and folder metadata.I have configured an account using OAuth in the add-on to collect file and folder metadata. I have created a Client ID and Client Secret from one Box account and added these credentials in the Splunk Add-on for authentication. During the authentication process, the add-on redirects me to Box to authorize the request.However, I noticed that if I log in with a different Box account during authorization, the add-on still allows me to save the account without verifying whether the provided Client ID belongs to the logged-in Box account. As a result, the metadata retrieved for files and folders corresponds to the account used during authentication rather than the account from which the Client ID

HiAs a service I need to scan files on box of Users. Since I will exceed the API limit under the quota given by Box as per purchase. My Client informed me the api calls made form Apps in Box integration are free. So, Is it true that If I make API calls from the clinet-id and client-secret that of APP published by us and added by our client will be free. Will this not be counted in quota.Since plan supports 100K API calls and can I make >100K API calls free.

What is the command to increase the storage quota for the Box platform account.How do we connect to other platform accounts from your own app.

We have one spring boot java service to scan events in an app create by users.One feature we have we download the zip of file uploaded and get the content of it and saved in our database as solr. Which will be access to that user only on our app.Previously there was no issue but now frequently service is halting on only when downloading zip and no further process is halted.When we restarted the service and scan again that event by start and end time it works fine.We checked the heap size that was not the issue.we are using now: 4.7 box sdk and java 8.Can anyone help if any issue and modification needed for this issue?

Hello,We use DocuSign for the signature of all our sales orders. With the support of DocuSign, we have created an integration (or Connect) between DocuSign and Box. This captures sales orders as they are signed. We are also hoping to use this connection to download a bulk history of a load of DocuSign signed envelopes.We have tried this a number of times - from different browsers, clearing cache & cookies etc - to sync these legacy envelopes to Box. The publish and sync works, but each time, it delivers a different amount of envelopes to our connected Box folder. DocuSign are saying that because the CSV publish worked on their end (and shows 514 envelopes), the issue is with Box. However, we’re not getting that many envelopes in Box - maximum is around 250, but varies between approx 130 and 290.What else can I try to ensure the integration works as expected?Many thanks,Tom.

Hello all, I’m trying to upload my first app on box. I’m coding in python, using JWT authorization and my company Admin has authorized the application. When I make my authorization call to box, I am returned the following error: {'error': 'invalid_client', 'error_description': 'The client credentials are invalid'} At the moment, I’ve bypassed it with a developer token, but would still like to know what is causing the issue.

We are using box sdk and we are facing issues in injecting data to our System as connector is taking a lot of time in retrieving the data from Box. We are investigating the performance issue.Need your help to check:1. Is there any API to check how many API calls are done and how many are remaining for a account? (Account having multiple users and groups) Is there any method in box sdk which we can use to log all the API calls so that we will be sure how many API calls are happening? We see there is an option of box report in console to check API calls. How is that working and is the API value shown there is per minute or total calls?  

for some reason, I can create a shared link on the site, but it is not displayed during API requests. I tried to create a shared link to the file through the api, however, I get the 403 Forbidden error. What could be wrong? Do I need any special permissions?

I found this out only through errors beginning to show up in API responses.Previously, the following token url worked for getting an access tokenhttps://www.box.com/api/oauth2/token However, that endpoint is no longer functional as of around 12pm Pacific 1/21/2025The endpoint in the current documentation however does work:https://api.box.com/oauth2/tokenJust wanted to share in case anyone else runs into this as well as Box provided 0 notification of this change

Hello Box Team! Couldn’t find this in the documentation so I figured I’d ask here! When a webhook is created, will it notify me when permissions on a file/folder has changed?
