Box Platform

We have a number of users outside of our domain that were inappropriately added as managed users. I want to roll them off the enterprise and convert them to external users, but when using box-sdk-gen and emit a client.users.update_user_by_id(xxxx, enterprise=None) nothing happens. It seems to execute successfully, but fetching that user again shows that the enterprise information is still present. If I try to execute with enterprise={'id':None} or enterprise='null' I get a 403 insufficient permissions error. I noticed that the type on the enterprise field is str so that’s why I tried the latter. { 'code': 'access_denied_insufficient_permissions', 'help_url': 'http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors', 'message': 'Access denied - insufficient permission', 'request_id': 'xxxxx', 'status': 403, 'type': 'error'} Raw body: {"type":"error","

Hi Box Team I have a Box business account that has a monitoring system in place to track which files are being downloaded by each user. I would like to exclude a specific user (identified by their user ID or email address) from this monitoring system. Is there a manual process within the Box admin console to achieve this? Or is it possible to do this programmatically via the Box API? Please provide the steps for both the manual process and the API method, if available. I want to understand how to selectively skip monitoring for a single user while keeping it enabled for all other users. Let me know if you need any clarification on the question. I appreciate you taking the time to provide a detailed response on how to accomplish this in Box. Thanks

I’m trying to use the .NET SDK to create a signature request for a file. My code is: public async Task<BoxSignRequest> CreateSignatureRequest(BoxUser user, string signerEmail, string emailMessage, string subject, string sourceFileId, string destinationFolderId) { var userClient = GetUserClient(user); //this uses the Client Credentials Grant to get a token for the user that owns the file BoxSignRequestCreateRequest createRequest = new BoxSignRequestCreateRequest() { AreRemindersEnabled = true, AreTextSignaturesEnabled = false, DaysValid = 10, EmailMessage = emailMessage, EmailSubject = subject, ParentFolder = new BoxRequestEntity() { Id = destinationFolderId }, Signers = new List<BoxSignRequestSignerCreate>() { new BoxSignRequestSignerCreate() { Email = signerEmail, LoginRequired = true,

My request is VERY basic. Get a list of thee following: List all top level folders List the path of the folder List the owners and co-admins List the size of the folder including subfolders List the number of items in the folder and subfolders Using JWT for this and have enabled all scopes with apps + enterprise access The real issue is that I STILL have to add the service account as a co-admin to get this data. How can I ensure my enterprise token access allows me to read data enterprise-wide? It is ridiculous that this isn’t even a report in the console that I must build a custom solution.

Question about the Collaboration Limit Is the maximum number of collaborators that can be invited to a file 500 people? When trying to invite collaborators with 500 already present, the following response is returned: Unexpected API Response [403 Forbidden | xxxx ] access_denied_insufficient_permissions - Access denied - insufficient permission I have confirmed that more than 1000 people can be invited to a folder, but is there a limit on the number of collaborators that can be invited to a folder?

Hi, I am trying to use box-ui-elements in my custom built react app project but keep getting the same errors about box-ui-elements not being installed correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot upload to the Box by calling API in the Azure Data Factory. I can not use SDK and I got HTTP 400 error , “Malformed stream” following is the Body that I created in the Azure pipeline:( it should be in JSON format) @concat('--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1 content-disposition: form-data; name=“attributes” {“name”:“testdev.xlsx”, “parent”:{“id”:“0”}} --------------------------9fd09388d840fef1 content-disposition: form-data; name=“file”; filename=“testdev.xlsx” content-type: text/csv ‘, variables(‘varFileContents’),’ --------------------------9fd09388d840fef1– ')

I have a ui which I manage authorization via Okta. So for a user to access the box files it creates a temporary shared link that expires after an hour. This link is opened by the UI and this has worked great for past month and lets me manage more advance authorization and such on my end rather than adding people to our folders directly. However, out of no where my code stopped working and its drawing an error at the creating the shared link and the stack trace doesnt give much info. Here is my code: public async Task<string> GetSharedLink(string Id) { try { BoxClient adminClient = _session.AdminClient(await token.FetchTokenAsync()); var sharedLinkParams = new BoxSharedLinkRequest() { Access = BoxSharedLinkAccessType.company, Permissions = new BoxPermissionsRequest { Download

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to prevent an employee from being able to sign a document or to request a signature. Eventually I would like some help with the java sdk. Sincerely

Is there any way to differentiate the two types of file locks, as explained below?? A user can manually lock a file. A user can click the custom application’s web-integration and it can lock the file using BOX-APIs. I have a custom application with OAuth2.0 and Web Integrations. OnClick of a web-integration, I use node-sdk (Initialised with user’s auth-code) to lock the file. Later, I used the search API to get all files in the folder., Is there any way to identify the files locked via my application, using NodeSDK? I want to unlock them only, if it is locked by the application itself. I couldn’t find anything to achieve this. Can you help me find a workaround for this?? Is there any fields in lock object, that i can re-purpose for this use-case? Thanks, Sarin

Hello - I am working on a custom application that requires the use of annotations on files. I am consistently running into issues with annotations. Our application utilizes JWT for authentication. When attempting to downscope the access token with scopes needed for the UI elements + annotations, I consistently get “Insufficient permissions” for the downscoped token. Upon looking at the permissions for my file using the downscoped token, I notice that there are additional permissions that are not enabled despite following the scopes outlined in the documentation: Downscoped access token (scopes: base_preview item_download item_upload annotation_edit annotation_view_all base_sidebar item_comment item_preview) { "type": "file", "etag": "0", "permissions": { "can_download": true, "can_preview": true, "can_upload": true, "can_comment": true, "can_rename": false, "can_delete":

I have been using the same call for some days but since a couple of days we started getting 400 responses when using offset in a /search call. For example: {'type': 'error', 'status': 400, 'code': 'bad_request', 'context_info': {'errors': [{'reason': 'invalid_parameter', 'name': 'offset', 'message': "Invalid value '2'."}]}, 'help_url': 'http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors', 'message': 'Bad Request', 'request_id': 'gcvgk4hqlhels3di'} The original call was to the url https://api.box.com/2.0/search?limit=11&offset=2&content_types=name,description&ancestor_folder_ids=250469971042&type=folder&fields=name,description,path_collection&query=%2232%22 Are we composing the URL right? Thanks in advance!

I have been struggling to get a thumbnail representation through the .net sdk. I am able to get the url for the download but everytime I try to download it through an httpclient request to return a stream, the stream results and memorystream converted to base64 are unusable. I am unsure if my approach is not correct or if there is an issue with the sdk. My code is as follows: public async Task<string> GetThumbnailImageById(string Id) { BoxClient adminClient = _session.AdminClient(await token.FetchTokenAsync()); var requestParams = new BoxRepresentationRequest() { FileId = Id, XRepHints = "[png?dimensions=1024x1024]" }; BoxRepresentationCollection<BoxRepresentation> representations = await adminClient.FilesManager .GetRepresentationsAsync(requestParams); var url = representations.Entries.F

I am using Box-Node-SDK to fetch details of a file in my drive. As you can see in the below screenshot, I created the file and modified it multiple times. We can clearly see that I am the owner of the file., in the file details.

The documentation at https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-embed/ briefly mentions that postMessage() is used to retrieve status, but I can’t seem to make it work. I’ve setup an event listener for the message event, but it does not fire. I’ve also tried calling postMessage on the iframes contentWindow property, but to no effect.

Hi Team, I got stuck when I tried to run the script from the repository Mini Box MediaInfo Video Metadata Uploader on GitHub. I followed the README instructions step by step, and I also check the Video on YouTube. When I ran the following command: python3 src/main.py -c I got the following error: ImportError: cannot import name ‘appengine’ from ‘urllib3.contrib’ Can anyone help me understand why I got this? Thanks.

i am using the boxnet integration with moodle as found on GitHub - moodlehq/moodle-repository_boxnet: Boxnet repository that was removed from standard package in Moodle 4.0 and finding some environments failing on the download (while others continue working). i am wondering if there are any tools to let me see what is happening from the box end of things? thx for any help.

Hi team! We submitted the app for approval around 2 weeks back but haven’t received any reply till now about our approval status. App details: Name: Cobalt Email: integrations@gocobalt.io User ID: 30678966382 Can you please expedite this as it’s an urgent requirement? Looking forward to a positive response.

We are actively builidng a Box Integration. Developed a custom-application to use Authentication as OAuth2.0. We have added multiple web-integrations and everything works as expected. When Any action is triggered from Box-Cloud using a Web-Integration – We use the authCode to generate the access-token with NodeSdk. – We perform the required task and Workflow is Completed without any issues. We are storing {access_token, refresh_token, ttl} in our backend database… The Problem is when we Try to refresh the Token: The Refresh Token is used for the first time. The Refresh Token is not expired (I tested within few minutes, after getting the refresh-token). I tried using the Authentication flo: Contructing AuthenticationUrl, Allow Access from BOX, Exchange Code for Token

Copy pasting this from another question that was never answered: When I attempt to perform a preflight check with a file with the same name in the same folder and run into a naming collision, I have code that accounts for the conflict error Box API Exception with code: “item_name_in_use”. I expect the JSON object to have an array of conflicts inside context_info as per the documentation https://developer.box.com/reference/resources/conflict-error/ However, sometimes conflicts is an object instead of an array, breaking my deserialization process. Example: When calling boxFolder.canUpload(filename, fileSize), I receive this error: { "type": "error", "status": 409, "code": "item_name_in_use", "context_info": { "conflicts": { "type": "file", "id": "1545199568548", "file_version": {
