Box Platform

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? 

I have been messing around a bit with metadata templates and Box API.  I found that I’m required to use the PUT method when updating a file or folder, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why I keep getting errors from the server.https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/instances/update/#:~:text=To%20update%20the%20metadata%20to,data%20on%20the%20template%20instance.Using the link above, I have been trying to get the payload to match this exactly, but to no avail.I have tried using “PUT” to post the payload, but I receive an unsupported media type, if I wing it and put POST, it says it’s a bad request.I use POST to apply the template in question, and it works just fine, but I seem to be missing the connection between Powershell,

Hello. I’m hoping someone can help with this…I am trying to set up an app, to support the migration of some files from Box to a different storage system.I’ve set up the app on the developer console and it is showing as ‘Pending authorisation’, waiting for our admin to approve.But I am the admin and I’ve not received any emails or contact about it.Any advice on how I can get authorised?Thank you!

Hello I need some help finding the email address value for a file uploaded from the embed widget in the API.  I’m using Box.Sdk.Gen.  Currently if a file is uploaded from the embedded widget, I cannot see fileUploadedBy (the value is null).  Also, file.CreatedBy, and file.ModifiedBy are tracked with an ‘Anonymous User’ value.  I can see the value displayed in the folder under the column ‘Updated’ on box.com.  Can someone help me get to the field for the email address that submitted the file?

Hello.Uploading is subject to the following limits　240 file upload requests per minute, per userWhen a service account acts on behalf of an App-User in an application using JWT authentication, is this limit per service account or per App-User?A service account is trying to act on behalf of multiple App-User.I want to know if the rate limitation is per App-User or total of App-User.

Let’s say i have a subfolder  like  parent/subfolder1/subfolder2. Is there any way i can use this relative path parent/subfolder1/subfolder2 in rest api for listing items under the folder? or to download a file under a folder parent/subfolder1/subfolder2/file1 ?

Is there a way to tell if a folder/file has been deleted from the /files/{file_id} endpoint? Should I be including a specific field in the fields query param to get this data? Was looking at the example API response and it looks like there’s a field called "trashed_at" that indicated when a folder was deleted but if it hasn’t been deleted will that field be null or not even be returned?  Same for Groups/Users? 

When displaying the attached image to users, I would like them to enter their Box-registered email address and password every time. How should I implement this? 

We want to use hosted box file picker as followinghttps://app.box.com/index.php?rm=box_select_view&client_id=123&link_type=folder&multiselect=false&picker_id=uniquePickerIdFile selection works fine but we cannot select folders. Is there an option that we can use to enable folder selection as well?

We need to extract a full list of all folders in our Box repository for external security analysis. We thought using a query of NOT XXX might do so, but NOT seems to require a predecessor criteria, How can we use the API to return a full list of all folders even if we need to do multiple iterations?

Hi All,  we had a box developer sandbox created from enterprise admin user to integrate box sign service. we accidently deleted that that sandbox, we want to recover that because sandbox admin was not a enterprise user eg. myName+boxsign@companydomain.com within that sanbox/ admin user there is many important data, how can we recover that recently deleted sandbox. Any help is appreciated.

Hi community - we recently implemented Box GxP for Box Sign and we are used to having DocuSign send us the signing log as an appendix to the signed document itself.  With Box Sign, the document is separated from the signing log though you can download the latter from clicking on the three dots inside the Box Sign details screen for the document.  To that end, I want to know if there is a way to download the Box Sign log as an API call or somehow magic it so that both documents can be downloaded simultaneously.  I don’t necessarily need them joined like DocuSign would do but I definitely need to be able to pull down that Box Signing log with each document.  If it exists in the details screen, my assumption is there must be a way to retrieve it via the API.  Any and all suggestions are welcome!! Nate

1. Data is available in reports but not via APIDespite being able to output data for events after December 13, 2024, using the BOX report feature, I am unable to retrieve the same data via the BOX API. The API consistently returns only events up to December 13, 2024. Could you help clarify why this is happening and how to resolve it?2. Scheduled executions do not save data after December 13When I set up scheduled executions of my script to fetch event data, no events after December 13, 2024, are saved in my system. Could you explain why the API is not retrieving or saving these events during automated runs, even though the data exists in the reports? // Function to fetch events from BOX API using the current stream_positionfunction fetchBoxEvents() { const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.g

I encountered a 500 error while using Postman to call the Box Sign API to create a sign request:Endpoint:https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requestsDetails:The same developer token successfully works for file uploads.

I use to be able to authenticate as the subject_type user on the client id app kox474mes4cugrj929i4kh5enokukmltThis is a free account and the app is authorized and enabled.However, now it seems that the subject_type is being required to be set to enterprise. The problem with this is that as the enterprise, I have to add the "Automationuser" to the folder I want the user to upload to. This is a problem because I have been shared several folders and it would be a large coordination effort to have everyone add the "Automationuser" as an uploader. And this would break for any new shares if the user wasn't added.Is there a way to still be able to upload as the user that has access to those folders? I tried using the As-User header, but then that returns the error like the folder doesn't exist.
