Box Platform

We are building an Integration in the box cloud: 1. Application Type: Custom App 2. Authentication Type: OAuth 2.0 3. Context Menu items are added using “Web Integration” The Web Integration (Context Menu) Configuration is: Supports all file extensions Integration Type is “Files” We are using BOX-NODE-SDK, to get the file details from the received fileId. On click of the web-integration, we received the authCode and fileIdin the API., Using the AuthCode, we successfully fetched the AccessToken. const sdk = new BoxSDK({ clientID: BOX_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_ID, clientSecret: BOX_INTEGRATION_CLIENT_SECRET, }); sdk.getTokensAuthorizationCodeGrant(authCode, null, function (err, tokenInfo) { const boxClient = sdk.getPersistentClient(tokenInfo); boxClient.files.get(fileId).then((file: any) => {

Hi there- This is regarding the box ui library on Github and the below issue. github.com/box/box-ui-elements Support for React 18

I am a bit confused about the application type and authentication method best suited for my use case. I want to build an application, which should be published into the box app centre. The application should add context menu items to the existing box cloud Users with the box cloud account are the expected users. They will select a file or folder and click the context menu option. Context menu item click - should invoke our API., with information about the selected file or folder. The application should have permission to download and upload files. The main concern is that I want a long-lived token. I don’t want to re-authenticate for every call of a user a short-lived token. If multiple Organizations installed the application, How do we differentiate the organization? Thanks, Sarin

Trying to build an Integration in box cloud: Application Type: Custom App Authentication Type: OAuth 2.0 Context Menu items are added using “Web Integration” My Web Integration (Context Menu) Configuration is: Supports all file extensions Integration Type is “Files” Everything is working as expected when select a single file and perform the context menu action. However, my context menu option is not visible when I select multiple files.

Hello, all. Thank you in advance for the assistance. I am working on authenticating to box via JWT in python. I am currently authenticating like this: auth = JWTAuth( client_id='<CLIENT ID>', client_secret='<CLIENT SECRET>', enterprise_id='<ENTERPRISE ID>', jwt_key_id='<JWT KEY ID>', rsa_private_key_file_sys_path='/Users/folder/private_key.pem', rsa_private_key_passphrase='<PASSWORD>', ) access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() client = Client(auth) However, when I try and access my files in the box, I am not able to find any via code (even though there are certainly files in my account): client.folder('0').get() The interesting thing is that I am able to access all of the files and folders in my account if I use the development client, go into the developer console, and manually copy and paste an access token into the applicat

Hi! im a new member. I have some questions: When i create an app, i see enterpriseid equal to 0? how do i have enterpriseid without 0. And i dont see Authorization tab like the docs.(https://developer.box.com/platform/user-types/) I want to use box-node-sdk to download file without limitation time login. for now i see it limited 60 mins with Developer Token. Is there a way to authorize without a time limit ( im using box-node-sdk)? It seems that authorizing with enterprise will not limit it, I’m not sure. If there is a limit, it will only be limited to a few days? thank you.

error: ‘invalid_grant’, error_description: “Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid.”

I think the user will be directed to the URL below when authorizing the user using OAuth 2.0. https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri=xxxx&state=xxxx&client_id=xxxx When redirecting the user to the above URL, a problem occurs where a screen like the one below is displayed. https://account.box.com/login/mfa?redirectUrl=/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&redirect_uri=xxxx&client_id=xxxx

Hello, I am currently experiencing an issue with two-factor authentication on BOX. When I attempt to access the authentication page, I am presented with a CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) error, which prevents me from completing the authentication process. Here is the error message I am seeing: Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘h ttps://app.box.com/gen204? category=boomerang&event_type=beacon&&keys_and_values[current_rm]= box_oauth2_server_authorize&keys_and_values[datacenterTag]= us-west4-prod&keys_and_values[is_old]=1&keys_and_values[uri]= https%3A%2F%2Fapp.box.net%2Fapi%2Foauth2%2Fauthorize%3F … {snip} … &runmode_options[add_geo]=1’) from origin ‘h ttps://app.box.net’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the req

I have a custom app registered/authorized by our Box admin with a permission scope of App+Enterprise , the C# client is using the Client Credentials Grant authentication method. I can get users in our Enterprise with the GetEnterpriseUsersAsync() method with no issue. However, it throws an exception of Box.V2.Exceptions.BoxAPIException : The API returned an error [Forbidden | figvvzhkcgjuvsex.02c4ce4ec440d4ba759f146d40493582d] forbidden - Forbidden when attempting to update a user via the .NET sdk UpdateUserInformationAsync method. C# code is as follows: _boxConfig = new BoxConfigBuilder(BOX_CLIENT_ID, boxClientSecret).SetEnterpriseId(BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID).Build(); _boxCCG = new BoxCCGAuth(_boxConfig); _boxClient = _boxCCG.AdminClient(); to update the user is coded as follows: public async Task UpdateUser(BoxUser user, string? setColleagueId = null) { var updates = new BoxUserRequest(); // pass the user properties into the updates o

Here is my code: public uploadFiles = async (folderName: string, files: Blob[]) => { const folderId: string = await this.getFolderId(folderName); for (const file of files) { const stream: Readable = await blobToReadable(file); const attributes: UploadFileRequestBodyAttributesField = { name: file.name, parent: { id: folderId } } await this.boxClient.uploads.uploadFile({ attributes, file: stream }); } } const blobToReadable = async (blob: Blob): Promise<Readable> => { const buffer: Buffer = Buffer.from(await blob.arrayBuffer()); const stream = Readable.from(buffer); return stream; } I am using Bun.js instead of node. folderId is correct and the file is converted correctly from Blob to Readable

I wanted to connect Box and DataSpider (currently mitocoX), so I created a custom app from the development console, downloaded a JSON file, and tried to set it in DataSpider. However, I get an error and can’t connect. If you are an expert, please tell me if I should use a file other than a JSON file, and if so, where can I download a file other than a JSON file? I’m a newcomer, so there are a lot of things I don’t understand, but , thank you.

Hello, I am trying to access my Box app with Python code, that is using JWT to authenticate. Here is my code: from boxsdk import JWTAuth from boxsdk import Client from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization import load_pem_private_key import json import base64 private_key_fpath = "/path/to/PrivatKey.pem" #Settings below generated by the Box Developer Console settings_fpath = "/path/to/1234__config.json" with open(private_key_fpath, "rb") as key_file: priv_rsakey = load_pem_private_key(key_file.read(), password=None) with open(settings_fpath, "r") as f: settings = json.loads(f.read()) settings['boxAppSettings']['appAuth']["privateKey"] = priv_rsakey auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_dictionary( settings ) access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() I get the following error BoxOAuthException: Message: "kid" invalid, unable to lookup correct key Status: 400 URL: https://api.box.com/

Hello Box Community, I am currently using Box Drive and monitoring file events with its Webhooks. I’m curious to know if it’s possible to retrieve the version history of files using Box Drive Webhooks. Specifically, I’d like to retrieve the version history related to changes made to a file, and I’m particularly interested in detecting if a file version has been reverted. If anyone in the Box community knows how to retrieve file version history using Box Drive Webhooks, I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide. Thank you very much.

Hello, I’m fairly new to box and want to download a publicly available repo which is fairly large in size (>1 TB). How can I parse through the whole repo and download all the files? Right now, the only way to do this is by manually download each file, and the repo has >7,000 files. This is quite frustrating and impractical. Are there any obvious solutions to this that I might have missed? Thanks

Hello Getting exception “Request timed out” since Friday 4/12 through today on downloads using Box C# client var stream = await client.FilesManager.DownloadAsync(BoxID); On Saturday could not download any files Now it seems after program start, 1 or 2 downloads in a row work fine and then it hits a wall, restarting program over and over is the short term fix. Integration has been in place since 2020 Program has not changed lately Can access Box.com UI fine and download files too. Thank You!

Hello, I am trying to build a Blazor web app that uses Box’s API, and I’m struggling to implement OAuth2 authentication. I followed the instructions/documentation listed here: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/ , but I’m having issues with obtaining the authorization code once I’m redirected to my app. Below is the code I have so far; it works as expected until I reach that final step. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -Code- private async Task OAuth2() { string authorizationUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=" + clientID + "&response_type=code"; // Configure SDK var config = new BoxConfig(clientID, clientSecret, new Uri(redirectUrl)); var sdk = new BoxClient(config); //Redirect user RedirectToAuthUrl(authorizationUrl); // Exchange code - TODO: Get auth code to ex

Hi! I have a client who wants me to back up ALL the files on an old Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS system to box.com. It’s a headless server (no gui) and they need every single file. There’s about 850 GB across 1,948,569 files in there. The largest file is only 2.4 GB. There are a few directories with a large number of files in them. The biggest count is 457,703 files in a single directory. They say they have unlimited box.com space and do not want to setup storage with another provider. I’m not sure I can run the box cli on this version of linux, and from what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem like it would be appropriate for something this big. I feel like FTPS would be the right thing (for box), but I can’t login to it from my personal account. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a business enterprise web application that I built in PHP and it is hosted on BlueHost. I have an entity named Attachment that is a many to one to a separate entity called Ticket. The Attachment entity represents a file attachment for a Ticket. The way it currently works to upload it is: I give the file a unique name (random GUID + extension) I upload the file to the file system I save a new instance of the record referencing the filename in the database Then to download it I: Get the Attachment record by its Id Search the file system by the filename defined in the record Return the file by its filename This worked fine, but I ran into an issue where I was running out of memory on the server, so I talked with the client and convinced them to a cloud based storage solution and we settled on Box. Now I’m attempting to migrate from using the file system to using Box. I have al

In implementing a flow within the OAuth authentication process that always prompts users to select an account, is my understanding correct that there are currently no parameters available for this purpose? developer.box.com Authorize user - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation Explore the Box APIs and SDKs to use for app development, API documentation, developer supp

Box and Salesforce integration using Box for Salesforce. When you create a record in Salesforce using Box for Salesforce, a folder is created on the Box side. If you do not reference the Salesforce record at this time, the user will not be granted privileges to the Box folder. Therefore, even if a folder is created, most users will have to go to Salesforce to see the corresponding record in order to access the folder. Is there a better way to grant privileges without access to the records? I tried Box tool kit createCollaboration and https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations, but this one did not create a FRUP record and the Box for Salesforce delete batch did not work properly.
