Is it possible to configure the non-private custom URL in Shared Link Settings using the BOX API? I want to automate the process of linking files from local storage to BOX and setting a non-private custom URL using the BOX API. Since I couldn’t find information in the API reference, I would appreciate your guidance.

Hi @user193 , welcome to the forum.



It should be possible using the vanity name.



Something like this:



curl --location --request PUT 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/1147571642464?fields=shared_link' \


--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \


--header 'Authorization: Bearer 1!lf...oLw.' \


--data '{


  "shared_link": {


    "access": "open",


    "vanity_name": "about_box_platform",


    "permissions": {


      "can_download": true,


      "can_preview": true,


      "can_edit": true


    }


  }


}'


This requires that the enterprise administrator enables this feature in the admin console:

Let us know if this helps.
