Box Platform

Enterprise events provide an event stream that your application can subscribe, related to any user or content within an enterprise Box instance.

Is there a way to find files which are tagged with custom metadata (not template version) using the Box UI?

Does Content Explorer include any mechanisms to stop the uploading of files that are infected with viruses? Is there any indication of an error in Content Explorer when attempting to preview a file that contains a virus? Is it possible for Content Explorer to hide/remove the download choice for a file containing a virus, despite the download permission granted by the downscoped token used in Content Explorer?

Hi there, Sorry for the very basic question, but I was wondering if somebody could guide me on how to generate a “Bearer Access Token” for usage with Box’s API? I’m trying to authorize the Preflight check before upload API call which requires a Bearer Access Token, but I can’t figure out where I can generate this token. I was reading through Box’s API documentation, but I couldn’t find definitive steps on how to do this. Thanks! 🙂 Scott

Hi @matt.riley When I use the “metadata-query” and specify a folder Id(parent folder), does it show results for all files under that folder and other subfolders or only under the parent folder ? On the same note, I used the command on 1 folder that has 1 file and got the following error box metadata-query enterprise_287697.Testing --219563937307 Unexpected API Response [400 Bad Request | 037667ddf3edfef86c49bc5058f7841c1.037667ddf3edfef86c49bc5058f7841c1] too_many_instances - Too many instances, and no supporting index available

Hi there, We’re facing a weird issue for a few days now. When trying to add an existing (app) user to an existing group, the API throws an error: curl https://api.box.com/2.0/group_memberships \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \ -d '{"user":{"id":"aaa59478bbb"},"group":{"id":"yyy2197xxx"},"role":"admin"}' { "type": "error", "status": 404, "code": "not_found", "context_info": { "errors": [ { "reason": "invalid_parameter", "name": "group_tag", "message": "Invalid value 'g_yyy2197xxx'.

Box and Bubble.io are linked to call mp4 in Box from Bubble using video tags. I can’t play mp4 files over 50Mbyte via Bubble.io, but I can play 45MByte. Is there a capacity limit or other setting?

I am creating a custom application and would like to integrate Box Sign as part of the application. At the moment, I have a box developer account with two users. I used one user to create the application (in the developer console), and another user will be used to test Box Sign API. I don’t have any issues creating folders or uploading files using the API, but whenever I try to access the Box Sign Endpoint (https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests), it returns a 404 “not found” error. This link [ https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/ ] explains that the Box Sign API is only available for the following account types: Business, Business Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Suites, and Enterprise Plus. This might explain why I am getting the 404 error, as I do not have a paid box account, only a de

When a new file or folder is added to Box it can take “up to 10 minutes” for the new content to be returned by searching (either via the UI or Search API). Is there an API call that will show if the file/folder has been indexed yet?

この記事では、コンテンツの事前チェック、アップロード、更新や分割アップロードなどのBox API機能を活用しながら、Pythonを使用してBoxにファイルを再帰的にアップロードする方法について説明します。 This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/python%E3%82%92%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6box%E3%81%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A9%E3%83%AB%E3%83%80%E3%82%92%E5%86%8D%E5%B8%B0%E7%9A%84%E3%81%AB%E3%82%A2%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E3%83%AD%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95-dc6a55ce500c?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4

The generate downscoped token is valid for almost one hour. Let’s say i want to invalidate token after 20 minutes(Logout usecase). I am getting the following error, The API returned an error code {“error”:“invalid_request”,“error_description”:“The client is invalid”} The following specified code is not working. box-java-sdk/doc/authentication.md at main · box/box-java-sdk · GitHub Is there any other way, we can achieve this functionality ?

The Box Platform publishes events that can subscribed by applications. These events relate to any actions performed by either normal or service users.

I have a custom Box App that is set up App Token (Server Authentication). This type of config creates a service account and gives us an access token. I’ve had no problem using the Box API in the past with this token as long as the associated service account is given access to the appropriate folers. However, calls to the Box SIGN parts of the API return the following: { “type”: “error”, “code”: “insufficient_scope”, “status”: 403, “message”: “The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token.”, “help_url”: “http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors”, “request_id”: “0aa1e51ed7348b0df97959af0e579f7e6” } Our admin has granted Box Sign access to this service account and I even re-authorized the app just in case. But I’m still getting this permission error. Are service accounts allowed to use Box Sign API? Keep in mind this uses a st

So I have been trying to authenticate the Box app with the Python SDK using JWT, but I am getting an error. “BoxOAuthException: Message: Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid. Status: 400 URL: https://api.box.com/oauth2/token Method: POST” I have crossed checked the “enterprise_id” value which is specified in the config file (the box account which I am currently using is a personal one, so the enterprise in this case was showing as ‘0’). Also providing the python code which was written for this use-case: from boxsdk import JWTAuth, Client auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file(‘/Users/pratyush/Downloads/0_pvp4byup_config.json’) client = Client(auth) service_account = client.user().get() print(f’Service User Account id is {service_account.id}')

I am using Laravel to query the Box Api endpoints. I am specifically getting an error on the Box File upload api. Here is the piece of code that I am using: Http::asForm() ->withToken($this->accessToken) ->post($this->uploadUrl, $attributes); Here is curl equivalent of the same: curl -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \ -H 'Authorization: Bearer {Token}' -d 'attributes%5Bname%5D=test.pdf&attributes%5Bparent%5D%5Bid%5D=12345&file=test.pdf' -X 'POST' 'https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content' Please help.

Hello, I am working on a Python integration that requests Box API. My goal is as follows: to set up an automation that invites one or more individuals to collaborate on a file/folder. Once the invitation is accepted, an approval task is created on the file (or on each file within a folder) and assigned to the same person. However, how can I invite a user who does not have a Box account? The request to create a collaboration requires an object of type ‘User (Collaborations)’. Yet, I only have the email address and not a user ID. Thank you in advance for helping me through my issue. Antoine

During my sandbox app testing, I was shocked that, as a Signer, I could DELETE text fields that are for the Sender / (tagged as 0) And then I could set the text to anything I wanted. Is there a way to FORCE READ-ONLY on Sender text fields (which should be the default anyway)?? Note: I was switching to Text Fields from Dropdowns, as Dropdowns are not properly supported via the API yet. This is very frustrating. Also: I suggest the box devs try using Radio Buttons as a Signer to see how buggy they are. (Try selecting one, then selecting another–You will have to fight with it quite a bit–Unacceptable UX.) Thanks.

私には、パートナー、ベンダー、顧客、請負業者などの外部ユーザーと、安全かつ簡単にコラボレーションを行うためにBoxの使用を開始または拡大したいと考えている多くのお客様と会話する機会があります。Boxを「初期設定のまま」使用できることに非常に満足している人もいる一方で、このようなユーザー向けのカスタムエクスペリエンスにすでに多額の投資をしている人やそのエクスペリエンスを提供したいと考えている人、また、別のログイン機能を使用する別のアプリをユーザーに導入したくないと考える人もいます。 This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/box-app-user%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A4%E3%81%84%E3%81%A6-d3faab7b2bfa?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4
