Is there an API call to tell if a file/folder has been indexed?

When a new file or folder is added to Box it can take “up to 10 minutes” for the new content to be returned by searching (either via the UI or Search API). Is there an API call that will show if the file/folder has been indexed yet?

Hi @isprod , welcome to the forum!!

I’m afraid not.

Can you elaborate on your use case, i’m curious.

In theory, If you could check if a file was indexed then you know which file it is, so how would that help you with a search? It must be some other use case, I’m guessing…

Cheers
