Box for Developers

Got an interesting question from a developer: I am accessing box to download an xlsx file, the file gets downloaded, yet it is corrupted, may you help ? thanks in advance file_id = '1234' download_file = client.file(file_id).get() transfer_file = open("/home/wsuser/work/" + download_file.name, 'wb') download_file.download_to(transfer_file)

Got an interesting question from a developer: I need to rename a file in Box using the Python SDK API. I know the filename, but I guess to rename it I need a file object. How do I create a file object when all I have is the name of the file? The file is located in the root folder.

Got an interesting questions from a developer: I’m looking to get video durations for a list of box.com files but can’t find anywhere in the API how to do it. I’m needing this for lots of videos uploaded to Box so I’m hoping to grab the video duration (you can see it on the video preview) instead of downloading the entire file. I’m working in Python.

Got an interesting question from a developer: I have been shared a Box folder via the following link: https://asmodeeuk.app.box.com/v/HobbyOrder I would like to programatically access these files in python or at least download them locally. I have set up a developer box account and I am just using the developer token for now. TOKEN = 'DEV_TOKEN' auth = OAuth2(None, None, access_token=TOKEN) box = Client(auth) I have also added this to my favourites in Box. favourites_id = 8166214818 items = box.collection(collection_id=favourites_id).get_items() for item in items: print(item.id) I can use the above code to see that the folder is in my favourites collection {'etag': '0', 'id': '20105505368', 'name': 'Asmodee Box', 'sequence_id': '0', 'type': 'web_link', 'url': 'https://asmodeeuk.app.box.com/v/HobbyOrder'} However I cannot figure out how to use the above to open the folder and list / download the items within. Can anyone help wit

In this article, we’ll discuss three ways that developers can use to upload content to the Box cloud. These include the normal upload, chunked upload, and manual upload. Each method has its own benefits and use cases, and we’ll explore how to implement them using the Box Python SDK. By the end of this article, you’ll have a better understanding of the different upload methods available to you and which one may be the best fit for your specific needs.

Get started with the Box Python SDK, using OAuth 2.0 in under 3 minutesI was looking for a way to get developers started using the Box platform as quickly as possible. This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/box-python-sdk-from-zero-to-first-request-in-3-minutes-b88599458df7?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4

Box has quite a broad range of SDKs, including Python, Java, .NET, iOS and Node.js. Let’s create a simple project using the Box Node.js SDK and create an app where users can authenticate with OAuth 2.0. The app will consist of a login page and a main page with basic Box user data, accessible after successful OAuth 2.0 authentication.
