When requesting a the information about a File using GET /files/:id?fields=representations each entry is supposed to contain a content property that has the url_template. Is that incorrect? If so, why would that not be included?

I have been testing Create Box Sign Request API using my free Developer Account, and it has been working fine until July 3rd, 2023. developer.box.com Create sign request - API Reference - Box Developer Documentation Explore the Box APIs and SDKs to use for app development, API documentation, developer support resources, and access the Box Developer Console

[First post – please bear with me.] Box recently sent me a notice about deprecating some SSL protocols. Legacy SSL Ciphers Deprecation The suggestion is to use “api-test(.)box(.)com” instead of the normal “api(.)box(.)com” to test whether you need to make security changes to your app. The problem I’m facing is I use the BOX SDK v.2 (with C#) which has “api(.)box(.)com” hardcoded in the library so I can’t change it to use the testing URL. [The (.) is to get around the new user 1 link only restrictions.] Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more info. thanks, randy

Hi, I am trying to find the best way to display images stored in Box on an ASP.NET web app. I have read about “Box View” but it looks like Box View files can only be displayed using an iFrame. I would prefer to directly display the images, rather than dealing with the clunkiness of an iFrame. In addition, using Box View requires uploading the files to an App Token application. I have hundreds of images, and unless I can upload them simply or automatically, I’d prefer to avoid an extra step like this. I tried to look through the other APIs and their capabilities, and couldn’t find anything that simply allows me to display an image stored in Box. I could be mistaken though. For context, I am trying to display multiple images pertaining to physical items. The other data for the items is stored in Azure, but the images are in Box. I would also like to display a pdf (stored in Box) for each of these items

前回の記事では、OAuth 2.0を使用したBox Node.jsの認証について説明しました。今回は、JWTを使用したもう1つの方法であるサーバー側の認証を見てみましょう。これは、Box APIで認証するための最も一般的な方法です。 This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/jwt%E3%82%92%E4%BD%BF%E7%94%A8%E3%81%97%E3%81%9Fbox-node-js-sdk%E3%81%AE%E8%AA%8D%E8%A8%BC-e3496d610f59?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4

Hello, I have a box application that runs somewhere in Kubernetes cluster. It needs to read a box file that belongs to a physical box user, The application onboarded with JWT authentication and box created a server account: AutomationUser@boxdevedition.com. I shared the file with this server account and it can see it when listing files. However when trying to get the file content or downloading the file I get 403 authorization error. The organization does not allow " App + Enterprise Access" configuration nor “Generate user token” access. seems strange that even when the file owner added the service user as a collaborator it still cannot read the content. Is there a way around this ?

Hi folks, We’ve created a Box UI Elements Workshop to help developers get started with these components. It is a hands on, self paced collection of exercises using a pure Javascript approach. We believe that this way the workshops are useful to a broader set of stacks, rather than limiting the examples to node, python or any specific client framework such as angular, react or vue. However do drop us a line with any type of feedback, and let us know in the comments if this idea of self paced workshops should be applied to other areas of the box platform. You can find the work shop at GitHub - box-community/box-workshop-UIElements-pure-js: Workshop on how to use the Box UI Elements in a pure HTML Javascript environment Above all, have fun!

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?
