Box Platform

I tried to get all representations of a file like this:curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"I just get the message: no matches found. If I omit ?fields=representations I do get a response, so it looks like ?fields=representations is not working.I also tried getting a basic thumbnail:curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/thumbnail.png" \     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"I do get a file, but it’s just a generic image showing the file type.Is there any way to get a thumbnail that shows some of the actual content of a PDF file?

Hello, I have a question. I am currently integrating Box into my application using free account. I am wondering if I need any approval from Box or am I allowed to integrate Box into my own web application and use Read/Write rights? Thanks, Luka

Hello, This is less a question and more a suggestion. Could there be a way to see managed users in the share function so that a box could be ticked next to the username rather than typing each person’s name into the share box. This would be especially helpful given that we cannot share hubs with a group. If so, having a “share with all” button would also be very helpful. Thank you

After the signer signed, the field size becomes too big. Please check the picture： After signed: Box sign template:

I have a template which works just fine with prefill_tags and defined signature placement, etc. The moment I try to add other files i’ve previously uploaded (and captured id’s of) via source_files and additional_documents in the payload, the template becomes null and the signature request will only include those additional documents. That is to say, I cannot find a way to use both a template and add additional files to a signature request. I am using jwt authentication in python.

Hi Team,I am working on creating Box Wrapper Service that will be using Box SDK for various tasks like Create Folder, Assign permissions, memberships, etc. We are planning to use Box File Request for Upload and Box Preview(in modal popup) to Preview and Download files.I need deployment suggestion on whether to keep the Box wrapper service as Azure App Service vs Azure Function. What are the pros and cons on one vs other? What should be the conclusion.

The ID used in the Get Sign Requests by ID endpoint is a 36-character alphanumeric string; the same type as returned from “id” in the response from Create Box Sign Request. Where can I find this id in the UI?The only IDs I can find in the UI are an 8-character alphanumeric “Request ID” when viewing a Sign Request > See Details, or a 13-digit numeric ID on the in the sign request’s document URL. Neither of these work when trying to use the Get Sign Requests by ID endpoint. Alternatively, can I retrieve this elusive ID via an endpoint, using either of the two IDs I can see in the UI?

Hello,I am using the create sign request API with the following body to create a sign request:{"external_id": "id","parent_folder": { "id": "1234", "type": "folder" },"signers": [     { "role": "signer", "email": "email@email.com" },     { "role": "signer", "email": "email2@email.com" },    { "role": "final_copy_reader", "email": "email2@email.com" }],"source_files": [ { "id": "12233", "type": "file" }, { "id": "54321", "type": "file" } ],“is_document_preparation_needed”: true} The sign request successfully achieves the “Created” state. However, the prepare SR URL gives a 404 to the actual user, who is supposed to configure the SR before sending it out. I suspect this is happening because the service account is the actual owner of the SR. M

We are using Box to integrate file retrieval for clients. When searching for these files we are only provided with a folder name. We are using the api.box.com/2.0/folders/ endpoint passing in the parent folder Id. We are iterating over several pages to find the target folder name. When deployed to a production environment, we are noticing that we are unable to find the Folder through API. When testing locally we find the folder every time.We are investigating why this could happen and were hoping to get some insight from Box Support to see how things are moving on your end. Thank you 

I have access to both the Box API and MS Graph API to make edits to both systems however I am not sure if an API exists to change the Box Tab configuration to map a new channel to a specific box folder. Does anything how if endpoints exist for this functionality? 

I’m current working on a .NET project to deprovision or remove access of a user from all the enterprise’s box contents. I did some research and learn that the steps involved 1. move the toBeDeletedUser’s ’ contents to a service account, 2. delete the user. I was looking into how to move the toBeDeletedUser’s content to a different user but seems like the documentation and code samples are all using Box.Core.V2. Has anyone been able to do so using Box.Sdk.Gen? I would greatly appreciate any advice. 

I am trying to use box API( box upload file reference) in servicenow. This code below succeeds in uploading but the uploaded content is corrupted and unreadable.// Create a new RESTMessageV2 objectvar r = new sn_ws.RESTMessageV2();r.setEndpoint('https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content');r.setHttpMethod('POST');// Set the authorization headerr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', 'Bearer <dev auth code>');// Define the boundary stringvar boundary = '----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW';// Set the Content-Type header with the boundaryr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'multipart/form-data; boundary=' + boundary);// Define the attributes part of the multipart bodyvar attributes = '--' + boundary + '\r\n' + 'Content-Dispo

I configured a raspberry pi 4 to be a cellular modem using the SixFab cellular modem kit The kit includes a SixFabBase Hat, LTE modem, antennas and a Sixfab core. I am using a in house sim card. The pi runs a python code to find the RSSI, RSRQ & SINR values every 5 minutes using Cron. Then another code to upload the text file to box every day. The issue I am facing here is that is that the JWTAuth is not working for me. Apparently, it doesn’t recognize my folder. It says it is it uploading the files to the root folder but I don’t see the file there as well. The codes are given below.Modem Signal Loggerimport subprocessimport timefrom datetime import datetimedef get_modem_signal_info(): try: # Run the AT command using atcom and capture the output result = subprocess.run(['/home/genwave/.local/bin/atcom', '-p', '/dev/ttyUSB2', 'AT+QENG="servingcell"'],

Hi, I’m looking for a way to get all shared links in an enterprise using the API. All the answers I found on this topic are 1+ year old, and just wanted to confirm, is there still no ability to get all shared links in an enterprise in the Box API?And if so, could I be provided a bit more context on this workaround that I saw on an old thread:  “If you're using the SDK, you could always crawl through the entire set of users in the enterprise and check every file or folder they own for a shared link”How would we crawl the folder of another user, when the root folder just has id 0? And what kind of permissions would this require? 

I’m using cURL to access the API.  I’ve successfully been able to search for a file by passing the template name and querying the value.  What I’m looking to do is structure the query as such that I can find a list of files that don’t have any metadata assigned to them. For this application, every file needs this particular template assigned to them, and a file without it is a good indicator that it needs to be processed.

Hi all,We're having an issue with content uploader. In case when not all files were upladed successfully "onComplete" event is not triggered. I found in the source code that there is a "isPartialUploadEnabled" property which allows "onComplete" to be triggered in such cases.This property is not documented in the docs nor in content-uploader readme when describing properties , but it's present in the export

Hi Development Team,As part of our project we need to upload documents to one of the folder in Box CLI. We have folder ready in Box CLI and commands to be given in command prompt. Here we wanted to automate the commands which we are giving in Command prompt of our system using bat file. But it is not accepting the Client Id and Client Secret. Could you please help us to automate this process.Thanks and RegardsSravya Pericherla.

I have a single download API “https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content”  with this i can able to download only single file only. But i want to download multiple file separately using single download API. I dont to want “ZIP Download method” Because i want separate files(Eg: Sample1.pdf, Sample2.pdf, Sample3.pdf...). Can any one say How to implement this as a solution. Thanks in advance.  

I’m using the following call to retrieve events from Box. EnterpriseEventsRequest request = new EnterpriseEventsRequest().types(eventTypes).limit(10).after(null).before(null) eventTypes is an array of BoxEvent.EventType.  For all other events, DOWNLOAD, LOGIN, etc. the call is correctly returning only event types that match.  When I use ITEM_CREATE or ITEM_UPDATE, the filter is basically getting ignored and it’s returning random events.  I’m using the 4.11.1 version.  Any ideas of what could be wrong?
