Box Platform

I am developing using Box.V2 (5.8.0) in VB.Net. Dim downloadStreamRequest = objBoxClient.FilesManager.DownloadAsync(strBoxId)  downloadStreamRequest.Wait() When executing the above process repeatedly, an internal exception with "Request timed out" always occurs on the third attempt.Even if I restart the program and try again, it still happens on the third attempt.I am not sure what is causing this issue and am struggling to find a solution.If anyone knows how to resolve this, please let me know.

How do I programmatically move files from my app service account to user accounts? I need to distribute app-uploaded files between the users. I am using box.sdk.gen API. What is the allocated space limit for the service account with a business plus subscription?

Hello, I’m getting 104 errors when processing webhooks for Trashed files.The error only occurs in this specific scenario - I have no issues doing similar processing of webhooks for Uploaded or Restored files. I also have tested the same API calls I’m running here from a Jupyter notebook using the same app auth with no issues. Specifically, when I receive a webhook notification that a file has been trashed, I call box.trashed_files.get_trashed_file_by_id() with the ID from the webhook message. (This is all Python with the newer box-sdk-gen library.) This call throws the 104. When I make the same call from my notebook, it returns the file info I need with no errors.

oauth.get_authorization_url returns url that returns a 302 errorThe url starts with https://account.box.com/login/mfa?redirectUrl

I realize this is probably the wrong forum.  And I am sure I am overlooking something simple - but I am having an issue with new users view of folders within Box.  I haven’t had this problem in the 2+ years we have been using Box and I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to figure it out.  For the last two years my existing users will navigate to the folders in Box via the path - All Files>Salesforce Root Folder>Object Folder>Record Folder. All collaboration is granted via the Box for Salesforce integration. They don’t have collaboration rights granted to anything but the selected Record Folders - but they are housed in the above tree and makes their All Files page much cleaner.The issue is that my recent new users (last 2 months) are not getting this same tree.  Instead it is All Files>Record Folder.  And results in a cluttered mess on their All Files page.  Ultimately they can still get the folders and files they need to do their j

Hello,I am working on an integration between kintone and Box. When using a Box Starter account to create a shared link from kintone for internal use, I encountered the following error:{"type":"error","status":403,"code":"forbidden","context_info":{"errors":[{"reason":"invalid_parameter","name":"access","message":"Invalid value '1'. The item does not allow this access option."}]},"help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Forbidden","request_id":"h7yusxhze4s1svcd"}The issue does not occur when the access is set to 'open', but it appears when the access is set to 'company'.Could anyone help me understand the cause of this issue and how to resolve it?Thank you for your help!Best regards,Marie

I would like to clarify the API call limitations when using the CDATA JDBC driver. Specifically:1. Are there any restrictions on the number of API calls that can be made using this driver?2. It was mentioned on the Box website that Integration Partner API calls are not subject to usage charges. Can you confirm whether API calls made through the CDATA Box JDBC driver are also exempt from counting towards our client’s limit?Additionally, if API calls made through the CDATA JDBC driver are chargeable, could you provide details on:1. The cost structure once the API limit is exceeded.2. Whether the Business Plus plan (which includes 50,000 API calls per month) covers these API calls, or if they are treated separately.We understand that the final decision on API call charges rests with Box, but we would appreciate any clarification you can provide to ensure proper planning.

Is it possible to import information to documents in BOX via a metadata template using a CSV file? Or is it possible to add metadata to documents in BOX using a CSV file as custom metadata? And how to do that? What I want to do is to use a CSV file to add individual metadata to a large number of documents at once.I will need to use metadata templates from the UI and manually enter values for each attribute. Instead of doing that, I want to use a CSV file to apply them all at once and save time.Currently, a test metadata template has been created. I understand that it is possible to export metadata information.Extract metadata - Box Developer Documentation

Hi,I have multiple Co-Admin accounts, and each has created their own files and folders. However, I do not have an existing Admin account with access to all content. To resolve this, I created a new Admin account, and my goal is to have a single account that can access all files and folders across the organization.In the Admin Console → Content Management, I can see all users' data. However, when I use the Box API endpoint:https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items  the API response only returns the files and folders that the Admin account has direct access to, rather than all content from all users.Is there any way to retrieve all data across all users without explicitly adding the Admin account as a collaborator to each folder?

Is it possible to retrieve the names of all folders and files from a folder, including everything inside its subfolders, via the API?

We are looking to interact with millions of files. We have noticed on the box site that Enterprise business plan has a limit of 100,000 API calls per month. Can this rate be increased? If so, what can it be increased to?

In this article, learn how to recursively upload files to Box using Python, while taking advantage of Box API features such as pre-flight check, upload, update content, and chunked uploader. This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/how-to-recursively-upload-a-folder-to-box-using-python-446dd5ec6305?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4

Hi Everyone,Is there any behavior change in Get Token functionality recently? We are not able to get any token from Box.Regards

Hi,I’ve been going around in circles for the last hour and a half trying to figure out how to use a Limited Access App on a free account. Is this even possible? I’ve seen various posts from a year ago saying this feature had been “temporally” disabled, is it still “temporally” disabled? I’m up to the point of trying to authorize the app but none of the menus as described in this tutorial are visible for me. Cheers,Michael

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.
