Box Platform

Can anyone suggest the latest way to  get shared file Download url? I got next js 13  with react 18 project . There is no JS SDK currently so  using CDN v21.0.0. I need to get picked file download url from the file picker window and send it to the Back End to be downloaded there and fetch it then from different endpoint to my project. I tried some urls for that inside shared_link but it does not work as it should and seems like i need to do it through fetching it including access token with request . Thanks.

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is your go-to for cloud computing solutions. With powerful tools and global infrastructure, it simplifies app development, machine learning, and infrastructure management.

While perusing the Box web app, you may have noticed that if you click on the ellipsis button to the right of a file or folder, there is an option in the dropdown labeled integrations. Hovering over that selection reveals another dropdown with a list of built in actions that can be triggered off the content selected. For example, a user can simply click “Send with Gmail” and a shared link for the content can be emailed to another party.

Hello,I tried to use box webhooks to catch a new collaboration acceptation after having created it with box API. I notice that it works perfectly when the account already exists for this new collaboration on a folder. But if the account doesn't exist, there is no trigger on "COLLABORATION.ACCEPTED".I’m looking for a solution for the webhook to let me know when a user creates his box account and accept the collaboration at the same time.Thanks a lot.Christophe

Hi, I want to set up a webhook or event detection whenever we request signature via Docusign on a Box file.We are using the Docusign integration where you can click into a PDF file, open up the Activity Sidebar, and then click on “Send with Docusign”. I’ve attached a screenshot below displaying how we are currently doing this. Anytime this happens, I would like for a Box Webhook or the Events API to detect this event. 

Hi everyone,I'm seeking assistance with configuring a Box application to retrieve files from a specific folder using their API. I have an admin account on Box.com where the files reside.My goal is to achieve this using Client Credentials Grant authentication. However, when I create a new app in the Developer Console, it requires authorization before I can obtain an access token.Here's the challenge: I want to deploy a script on my WordPress website that automatically downloads a file daily from the Box folder and utilizes it for specific tasks. However, the Developer Console currently identifies me as an admin, not a developer. This restricts my app from accessing the files via API.Previous Attempt:I tried creating a separate developer account and adding it as a collaborator to the main (admin) account. This allowed me to verify and authorize the app, obtaining an access token. However, I'm concerned that a developer account wouldn't grant access to the specific files within the folder

I heard there may be the ability to connect my own LLM to Box via API.  Is that on the roadmap or a known feature coming?  

Hello community, Need your help i’m always getting this error when hitting that api

While using the Box .NET(Gen) SDK I noticed that the TemplateSigner class is missing the label field. However when calling the Box API via curl to get sign templates the label field is a part of the signer objects in the signers array on sign templates. I assume it is supposed to be accessible as this forum post describes the signer object as having the label field. https://community.box.com/topic/show?tid=477&fid=9 Unfortunately, the label field is missing on the Signers object on this page Box Sign template - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation of the Box Developer Documentation. Upon closer inspection it also appears to be missing on all of the SDKs TemplateSigner classes.

Previously, the Get Box Sign request by ID endpoint at https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/**:sign_request_id** would return a filled in document_tag_id if one existed, as shown at https://developer.box.com/reference/get-sign-requests-id/ e.g. "inputs": [ { "document_tag_id": "1234", "text_value": "text", "checkbox_value": true, "date_value": "2021-04-26", "type": "text", "content_type": "signature", "page_index": 4, "read_only": true } However, now document_tag_id is always null for all inputs on sign requests made June 13th and after. Prior to that (June 12th and before) those requests seem to be functioning correctly still and returning document_tag_id as expected. My assumption would be this is just a bug that was introduced in the API endpoint? Expected behavior: document_tag_id is not null Actual: document_tag_id is null

I’ve integrated box with my dotnet application, I’ve created folder via our application in box and after uploaded few files in the particular folder. After I tried to search that specific file with file name and parent folder id it returning empty result at the time of file uploaded, after few minutes(around 5-10 minutes) later when we try with the same API call, it bring the expected results. Please find the used code in below and suggest or share your thoughts.  Client.SearchManager.QueryAsync(                    fileName,                    ancestorFolderIds: new List<string>() { parentFolderId },                    fields: new[] { "id,name,type,path_collection,size,created_at,modified_at" },                    limit: 30)

I’d like to apply a metadata template from another enterprise (let’s call it Enterprise B) to files from my enterprise (Enterprise A). When I attempt to do so via the Box API, I receive 403 Forbidden. I’ve tried a number of variations, to get an idea of what responses I can expect: If Enterprise B doesn’t exist - 400 Bad Request, Invalid metadata scope. If Enterprise B does exist but the metadata template does not - 404 Not Found, Specified Metadata Template not found. If Enterprise B does exist and the metadata template does exist - 403 Forbidden. I suspect that the user making the call needs permissions that they don’t have, but it’s not clear to me what permissions that user needs - there don’t appear to be any permissions specific to metadata. What must I do to allow a user from Enterprise A to apply a metadata template from Enterprise B to files in Enterprise A?

I am Searching For File Which Have Keyword “Disposition”  I am Getting the Files Which have Keyword “Disposition” But Getting files Which Have Keyword “Dispositive” Which is not appropriate or match the keyword .Check This For Reference..  

I know that calls to api.box.com count against an API limit of 50k to 100k calls. Do requests to `dl.boxcloud.com` count against that limit as well?  e.g., if I call `https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id/content`, is that two chargeable requests counting the redirect, or one?

I’m an admin trying to transfer files from one user who has left our organization to her supervisor… however… I am getting an error "Source User is locked" with the API or “...is in another operation” when attempting to move files or change the folder owner in Box -- it’s been several days and it just never changes. I’ve tried several things and tried waiting for days -- but this is just a weird account that won’t budge.

Hi,At this time, there appears to be no way to search for managed users by email alias.So if I want to find a user by email alias, I have to get all users and check each user's email alias one by one, which requires a lot of API calls.To reduce unnecessary API calls, could you provide an API endpoint to search for users by email alias?Akihiko

I'm seeing an error when moving folders between different owners.The request contents and response are as follows.It has been pointed out that a new owner should be specified, but how should I specify it?Request:PUT: https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/277094708559raw body:{    “parent”: {        “owned_by”:{“id”:“34690427263”},        “id”:“277094005474”    }} Response:{    “type”:“error”,    “status”:400,    “code”:“cannot_make_collaborated_subfolder_private”,    “help_url”:“http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors”,    “message”:“Cannot move a collaborated subfolder to a private folder unless the new owner is explicitly specified”,    “request_id”:“cajrjnhs2ugc7ixz”} 

Dear Box Support Team,I hope this message finds you well. We are currently in the process of integrating Box API functionalities into our application. While we have successfully accessed sign requests through the Box API, we have encountered specific requirement that we are seeking clarification on:Checking if a User Has Signed a Document: We need functionality in the Box API that allows us to determine whether a specific user has already signed a document. Unfortunately, We didn't find this functionality in the current Box API for sign requests. Are there alternative methods we could utilize?Thanks.

Hi,I am generating a token following the tutorial for JWTs (grant_type: "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer"). The API does return an access token, and it does work, but it doesn't seem to have the structure of a JWT (3 sections separated by dots...).I am requesting it using a RSA key pair to sign the request.I wonder if the tokens are encoded in a particular way, encrypted, or it is just an access token and not really a JWT.Thanks!
