Box Platform

There is a Box folder that has over 360,000 items. When I attempt to list items in the folder I receive the following error: Context Info: {‘errors’: [{‘reason’: ‘invalid_parameter’, ‘name’: ‘offset’, ‘message’: ‘The offset plus limit must not exceed the maximum limit of 300000’}]} How can I limit the number of items returned? Is there a technique I can use to adjust the limit and offset when listing over 300,000 items?

Do you have questions about the Box AI API? This is the place to ask!

It use to be easy but i do not see an option anymore on how too see how many folders I have.

We use the Content Preview UI element to display a variety of files that are different dimensions. Some are long portrait, some are narrow landscaped. Is there a way to have the height property of the Content Preview automatically adjust or be in better proportion to the content. I have considered inserting metadata into the file at the time of file generation with the dimensions so I could calculate an appropriate dimension but to do that it looks like I would need to pass the file from box to another service.

I’ve encountered an issue with conflicting styles between the modal and btn elements in our site’s Bootstrap framework and the styles in https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/19.0.0/en-US/explorer.css. There might be additional conflicting styles that I haven’t identified yet. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Currently, the only solution I can think of is to create a customised version of explorer.css. It would have been beneficial if the Box styles were prefixed to mitigate conflicts. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is it possible to configure the non-private custom URL in Shared Link Settings using the BOX API? I want to automate the process of linking files from local storage to BOX and setting a non-private custom URL using the BOX API. Since I couldn’t find information in the API reference, I would appreciate your guidance.

Hi there, I’m trying to download files created by someone within the same organization with Python SDK, but I get [403] access_denied_insufficient_permissions I can get file’s information (file id and name) with client.file(file_id).get(), but I get the above error when I try client.file(file_id).content(). Here’s my app’s status Authentication with Client Credentials Grant (already authorized) Both reading/writing files are allowed The service account has the access to the folder as Editor. Could anybody give me advice on the cause of this error? Thank you.

In the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise documents, metadata plays a pivotal role in how you organize, discover, and extract value from your unstructured content.

I’m running an API call to /files/[fileid]/content with just the file id in the URL and the access token in the header. It says the api call is completing successfully, but it does not actually prompt a download in the browser. It worked a while back, but I’m not sure what I changed causing it not to work any more. Any tips on what I can check would be helpful. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

When attempting to extract tracking codes for a particular user via Python script, I am receiving an AttributeError as follows: ‘User’ object has no attribute ‘tracking_codes’. Based on the documentation I’ve read, I should be able to pull tracking codes using the ‘tracking_codes’ attribute. Any input on addressing this issue would be greatly appreciate.

I have created a webhook as part of an application in Box. The application has a service account. The service account has all scopes possible (just make sure I didn’t miss anything). The service account is a co-owner of the folder that the webhook monitors. However, when I use the code examples from here and here I am unable to see the webhook (I receive a 404). Is this a permissions issue or am I doing something wrong? I have tried impersonating as the owner of the folder but I get a 403 response. import boxsdk import json from boxsdk import JWTAuth from boxsdk import Client def build_client(): auth = JWTAuth.from_setti

Hi, I can query for various thumbnail representations of an uploaded image, but is there any endpoint/query that will return the original dimensions of the file? Thanks

I want to give users of my FlutterFlow mobile/web app full access to a dynamic folder path from within my app, without the user knowing they are in Box. This means a custom app using JWT authentication using key pairs and the config.json for authentication: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/without-sdk/ However, FlutterFlow does not have native support for SDKs, python, or any of the languages supported in the documentation. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience using Box.com integrations with Flutter/FlutterFlow apps and if so how they did it.

While creating application,clicked the “Generate Public/Private Keypair” & get the JSON file. From the JSON file,we have copied the content from “privateKey” & create new file (Config.PEM) and updated the “privateKey” values. the run the below code, getting an error. from boxsdk import JWTAuth from boxsdk import Client auth = JWTAuth( client_id=‘xxxxxx’, client_secret=‘xxxxxxxx’, enterprise_id=‘0’, jwt_key_id=‘xxxxxx’, rsa_private_key_file_sys_path=‘C:\Box\config.PEM’, rsa_private_key_passphrase=‘xxxxxxxxxxx’, ) access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() client = Client(auth) Issue : Could not deserialize key data.

In today’s digital landscape, efficient file management is crucial for businesses. With the exponential volume of data being generated, it’s essential to have streamlined processes in place for organizing and disposing of outdated files and folders.

Hi there. I’m looking for a way to download a watermarked file using the API with a viewer user. I saw the platform docs mentioning that when using a Viewer user to download a watermarked file, you need to first open the file for preview and then the download becomes available. How can I do the same thing using the API instead of the UI?

Our app is currently under review. Even though it is in the review process, is it okay for our customers to use it? Are there any restrictions, such as a maximum number of connections?

Hi, Is it possible to Downscope the Box token with java sdk for one folder only if that user is collaborator on multiple folders? e.g. root folder → folder 1 → folder x | | → folder y → more child folders and files | | → folder z → more child folders and files | → folder 2 → folder a | → folder b → more child folders and files (in case format messed up. folder x,y and z are the child folder of folder 1. folder a and b is child folder of folder 2. Folder 1 and 2 is child folders of root folder.) If user “ABC” is collaborated on “folder y”, “folder z” and “folder b”, can we downscope token to show only “folder y”, and “folder z” and not “folder b” on the box ui element with the existing role? Say user “ABC” has “editor” role on “folder y”, and “folder z”. Thanks.

Hi, We have issue where we want to get all the collaborators for file, however, we are not getting all the collaborators. If I call list folder collaboration Api, I am getting all the collaborators whoever have access to that file. If it is waterfall permission model, I should have all the collaborations from the file endpoint, if that file under the parent folder. So why I am not getting all the collaborators when I use list file collaboration API? ref: - List file collaborations - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation

I have an intermittent problem where the Python Box SDK is raising the following exception when generating a down scoped token. The code works most of the time but occasionally will stop working for a few minutes. Do the JWT tokens need to be expired or released? The code is being run from an AWS Lambda and the downscoped token only needs to be used once. Is there API rate limit. I don’t think I’m near it usage would be less then 30 an hour but maybe multiple in quick succession. Our Box Account is Business Plus. boxsdk.exception.BoxAPIException: Message: The subject_token provided is invalid The code that is generating the error is in the used to create a downscoped token that can be used by a Box Preview embed: config = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('cert/abcd_1234_config.json') client = Client(config) target_file = client.file(file_id=file_id) token_info = client.downscope_token(['item_preview

Hi, I’d like to make a request to have the dll in Nuget package signed by Box. The package itself is signed, but Box.V2.dll. Microsoft is introducing Smart App Control and having dlls signed gets more important.
