Box Platform

good morning, I would like some help, I'm trying to change my wife's account password but the email isn't arriving.

Goal : Try to fetch the retention policy on a file if there is one.When creating the App I enabled manage_data_retention scope and I am sure that there are files under retention policies.Even though File information in UI is giving retention policy information, GET Get file information This APi is not returning any retention policy information  I tried to fetch all the files under retention policies and use query like file_id to narrow down the retention policy on file.GET List file version retentions But the response I am getting is:  { "entries": [], "limit": 100, "order": [ { "by": "file_version_id", "direction": "ASC" } ] } I tried to fetch file_versions under retention policy assignment but that is giving API used : GET Get files under retention {"type": "error","status": 403,"code": "access_denied_insufficient_permissions","help_url": "http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors","message": "Access denied - insufficient permission","request_id": "---"} IN the scopes documentatio

It is possible to make API calls and create custom apps with a free account (Individual), but could you please answer the following questions?What are the API call limitations? What are the differences between free and paid accounts in terms of what can be done with custom apps created?

i have a customer that want me to download his files 100M how can i know my throughput , on how many request per min / per day , is it per client or per application.how can i know the maximum requests i can make per day ?

I have a question regarding rate limiting for license-based APIs. developer.box.com Rate Limits - Box Developer Documentation Explore the Box APIs and SDKs to use for app development, API documentation, developer support resources, and access the Box Developer Console Is the license-based API rate limit after publishing a custom app related to the plan that the party issuing OAuth (i.e., the developer of the custom app) has signed up for, which increases the count when making API calls from the app? Or does the contracted plan of the user of the app affect the API call limit?

I’m using OAuth 2.0 and I have verified that the program is making the API call with the correct folder ID beforehand. This program was working for me yesterday, so nothing has changed on my end. I am just a one admin user business account, so I’m pretty sure I have all the correct permissions. Any help would be amazing, thanks.

As the company uploads more zip files to help with document containment, it makes it harder to find individual files.  Is there a way for Box to index file names within the archive folder?  I know that if we click on an archive, it will preview the contents of the file, but that isn’t going to work long term as the number of archive files grow.  I am only looking to index file names, not the content at this point.

Hi,i am getting below error after entering client ID and key using BOX CLI commands, Could you please confirm if i am missing any prerequisites?  

By using node sdk , file is uploaded and then after uploading file ,  I would like to get that uploaded file id. File is uploaded successfully response code s200. Althought I try out , I cannot get that uploaded file id. I cannot understand how can I get data from return Promise<Object> data type.Therefore, could you support and find out solution for that issue. My code snippest is as below.  // Initialize the Box SDK              var sdk = new BoxSDK({                clientID: sdkConfig.clientID,                clientSecret: sdkConfig.clientSecret,                appAuth: {                    keyID: sdkConfig.appAuth.keyID,                    privateKey: sdkConfig.appAuth.privateKey,                    passphrase: sdkConfig.appAuth.passphrase                }            });              var appUserClient = sdk.getAppAuthClient('user',userId);              var stream =fs.createReadStream(newPath); // upload file’s path              var parentFolderId = parentFolderId             

I would like to preview content of file when searching, like actual box search screen.can anyone tell me how can I do this? 

Hi!I would know how the throttling/rate limit on a user basis (1000 API calls per minute) is applied when you use a JWT application (service account) to act on behalf of another user by leveraging the as-user header.The limit is applied to...The service account itself Or the impersonated user (as-user)And if I create another service account, the user based limit is reset for this new account (1000 API calls per minute)?

I’ve seen the example of how to use an app token for a limited access app in the original .NET SDK but have yet to figure it out for the .NET GEN SDK. Basically, I’ve got a Client ID and an App Token that need to create a BoxClient but none of the methods I’ve tried work. Both CcgConfig and JwtConfig objects want clientSecrets or other information. What am I missing?

I'm looking for a way to optimize my current Box folder scanning function to reduce the number of API calls made to Box.Currently, I have a desktop application that scans specific Box folders within my organization. Below is the scanning function in Java:private static BoxItem getBoxItemRec(BoxFolder initialFolder, Path locations, int index) throws NotFoundException {    Path currentPath = locations.subpath(0, index + 1);    String location = locations.getName(index).toString();    for (BoxItem.Info info : initialFolder.getChildren()) {        if (info.getName().equalsIgnoreCase(location)) {            if (locations.getNameCount() == index + 1) return (BoxItem) info.getResource();            else return getBoxItemRec((BoxFolder) info.getResource(), locations, index + 1);        }    }    throw new NotFoundException(currentPath + " not exist!");}  Is there a way to retrieve only the new files that were added within the last X days without scanning the entire Box folder? Ideally, instead

Is there a more efficient way to retrieve a BoxItem (either a Folder or File) directly by its path in Box?Currently, my approach involves starting at the root folder and recursively scanning through the items, matching each part of the path until I reach the desired item.For example, with the path "Logs/Ben", I start at the root, iterate through its children until I find the "Logs" folder, then iterate through its children until I find the "Ben" folder.This method works, but it involves multiple API calls, which I believe could be optimized.Is there a way to directly access a BoxItem using its full path, thereby reducing the number of API calls my application needs to make?Any guidance or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated.

I am working on a PowerShell script to automate archiving files that are 5GB each. I am working directly with the API in PowerShell since BoxCLI does not utilize chunked uploads. When running the “POST Upload Part of a File” command for the final chunk of a file, I am getting an error that the content-range is invalid. The final part of the file is not the same length as the rest of the parts, and the documentation states that is an allowed exception. All initial parts upload without error, and return the expected values for the upload. When I run the final part using a content-range header value of “83886080-95925607/95925607” I get the following error:{ "code": "range_out_of_bounds", "message": "Part with offset 83886080 and size 12039528 exceeds limits of file size 95925607", "request_id": "8642639592d5d19e401d2d252ba83641"}It looks like the API is ignoring the higher bound value provided in the content-range and using the higher bound that would be set if using the full pa

I have upgraded my box SDK version (2.32.0 → 4.11.1)In 2.32.0 there is a way to create shared link to BoxItem object:private String createSharedPath(BoxItem item) {if (Objects.isNull(item)) return null;BoxSharedLink.Permissions permissions = new BoxSharedLink.Permissions();permissions.setCanDownload(true);permissions.setCanPreview(false);BoxSharedLink sharedLink = item.createSharedLink(BoxSharedLink.Access.COMPANY, null, permissions);return sharedLink.getDownloadURL();}In 4.11.1 BoxItem does not include createSharedLink function.How can I perform the same thing in the new version? I could not found anything familiar in the docs   

Hello!If anyone has worked or have been working on retrieving the Collaborations Report using Box API in Python and not from the Admin Console? If yes, I’m looking for possibilities to create the report and your knowledge/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!Thank you,Suvidha Vaddula

I have some Python code that has successfully been making API calls for months (to specifically start a Workflow). It suddenly stopped working the week before last. When I went to investigate, the code that gets me an access token has suddenly stopped working, returning the normal error of {'error': 'invalid_grant', 'error_description': 'Grant credentials are invalid'}My question is, is there some kind yearly “account refresh” I need to do? Or is there a backend token I am not aware of that needs a refresh? I did check and my client secret, client id, and service account id are all correct. Here is a simplified version of the code. def get_access_token(client_id_var, client_secret_var, service_account_id): #This URL gets us our access token # Define the URL url = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" # Define the request parameters payload = { "client_id": client_id_var, "client_secret": client_secret_var, "grant_type": "client_credentials", "box_subject_type"

I'm the developer of an online logbook for pilots.  For years, I've had oAuth2 support to allow users to back up their data to Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive.  I'd like to add Box.com as an option.  The technical piece of this is pretty straightforward - but one thing I need is a Box.com logo that I can use in the UI where people set up the oAuth connection.  Dropbox, Onedrive, and Google Drive all grant permission to use - and provide approved logos! - for this legitimate purpose (with conditions, of course!). I can't find anything about how to do this with Box.

For the search interface,  Search for content - API Reference - Box Developer DocumentationI am wondering how to know the folder layers from the response. I see there is a property named Path_Collection, which seems has all folder names, but the sequence_id property is always 0 or null. How can we know which is the direct parent folder, which is the second level? Can we relay on the item sequence of the collection? For example, for below response, can we consider the folder path is All Files/B/A ?  "path_collection": {                "total_count": 4,                "entries": [                    {                        "type": "folder",                        "id": "0",                        "sequence_id": null,                        "etag": null,                        "name": "All Files"                    },                    {                        "type": "folder",                        "id": "230155851619",                        "sequence_id": "0",
