Box Platform

Hi everyone, I’m new here and would appreciate your help with some questions I have about the Content Explorer. I’m trying to set it up so that the preview opens when I double-click an image in thumbnail view. Is there any way to achieve this? Currently, the preview only opens when I click on the filename or a button. I set ‘select’ for the event in addListener, but it’s triggering when I hit other buttons like the ‘share’ button. Is there a way to limit the ‘select’ event to only when a file is selected? Also, what would be the way to make the preview open again when clicking on the same file? Thanks for taking the time to read this Apologies in advance if I’ve posted this in the wrong topic, as this is my first time here.

@matt.riley Could you share thoughts and/or tips on how to automatically apply metadata to file uploads done through the “File Request” feature? The use case is wanting file request uploaders to upload specific types of documents in each separate upload field and to automatically apply a metadata label to the upload done in that field. For example, a File Request form with a Diploma field and a Resume field, upon upload / completion of the File Request those uploads would be tagged in metadata as diploma and resume, respectively. Thus later we could search by metadata for diploma and get all diploma uploads but not resumes, and vice-versa. As a side note, I find metadata in Box confusing because of the requirement to create a “template” which is unusual compared to other tools where one can just create and define metadata independently.

I have created an application as the documentation says, but I always get this error. https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/client-credentials/ This is your documentation, can you help me? This is my app client id: alhd08bt4pv1gt6n9i4ipi8andjscofb curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" \ -H"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"\ -d"client_id=alhd08bt4pv1gt6n9i4ipi8andjscofb"\ -d"client_secret=*****"\ -d"grant_type=client_credentials"\ -d"box_subject_type=user"\ -d"box_subject_id=2629647****" Response { "error": "invalid_grant", "error_description": "Grant credentials are invalid" }

At the beginning of June, Box Platform launched a new brand API to manage mapping folders in Box to channels in Slack, and also recently launched a new scripts for admins and developers to complete repetitive tasks using the Box CLI. Today, we are releasing a new automation template script using the integrations mappings for Slack API.

Was trying to create an app user following this guide, developer.box.com App Users - 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 and with the following api request: POST - https://api.box.com/2.0/users request: {“is_platform_access_only”: true , “name”:“test”} response: { “type”: “error”, “status”: 403, “code”: “access_denied_insufficient_permissions”, “help_url”: “http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors”, “message”: “Access denied - insufficient permission”, “request_id”: “avrw5xhevqe1xti8” } What is missing? Can you please assist? (I have verified I have sufficient permissions to create a user which is not an app user and it was created successfully) Thanks

最近Boxが開催した社内ハッカソンに、Box API用のRustクライアントを作成するというアイデアで参加しました。この演習には3つの目標がありました。Rustは、システムプログラミング用に特別に設計された堅牢な言語です。多くの利点があります。RustでBox APIクライアントを構築することで、メモリの安全性、パフォーマンス、並行処理と並列処理、開発者の生産性、クロスプラットフォームの互換性など、主要な機能を活用できます。 This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://medium.com/box-developer-blog/rusty-box-box-api%E7%94%A8rust%E3%82%AF%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%81%AE%E4%BD%9C%E6%88%90-5948c3f1bc2d?source=rss----a995c24848a3---4

Hello, I am using Box API Python SDK to list files. The metadata of files is important for my work. The files in the source folder are uploaded by myself and I am in UTC+09:00 timezone. But when I list the files using the API, all the timestamps returned by the API are in UTC-07:00. Please let me know if that is the default case? or is there anything I can do. SDK Version: 2.7.1 API: client.search.query(...) Thank you 🙂

I’m trying to build some features using the Folder Lock API: https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folder-locks/. However, when I try to do a simple curl POST command to lock a folder, I always receive a 404 “not_found” regardless of the folder I pass to it. The GET command works fine and obviously returns an empty array since I haven’t successfully locked a folder yet, but I know the endpoint and my access token works fine. Are there other exceptions to this feature that aren’t documented? I have ensured I am the sole owner of the folder (no co-owners), but it has been shared with others a Editors. For added detail, I am using the Oauth 2.0 method for access. Any help/guidance on locking folders via the API would be much appreciated!

Hello, I am having issues using the box-ui-elements React package. I have gotten the other “simpler” react components to work correctly with a developer token, but for w/e reason the ContentPreview component never renders the preview of the file. There are 0 errors in the console and if I enable the header it is able to display the file name correctly. So, the file ID is correct and the dev token is accurate since it works with other components on the same screen. Is this a known issue? It doesn’t seem like a sizing issue since it’s given plenty of space and the other components work just fine. Is there a working example repo I could run and supply my dev token & file ID to and see if it works? I ended up just using the raw JS CDN approach that some of the Docs outline to display the ContentPreview and that works just fine. So, I ended up just removing the entire box-ui-elements package since it wasn’t buying me much. I would like to actually use the package though since it is simp

Hi Rui, Thank you very much for your answer. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I think the way to achieve my goal is to create a webhook with ‘COLLABORATION.ACCEPTED’ trigger, that way I can assign the approval task to the user. So I need the user id to assign the task. But is ‘collab.id’ the user id? The API documentation doesn’t say so but I note that you wrote ‘Collaborator:’. Cheers

While sending multipart-form data POST request to BOX from ServiceNow, I am getting this error from the Box API: {“code”:“bad_request”,“help_url”:“http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors",“status”:400,“message”:"API upload did not contain a file part”,“type”:“error”} The payload which is being sent over on this request, looks something like this: –xXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXx" ,Content-Disposition:form-data; name=“attributes”,{“name”:“config.txt”,“parent”:{“id”:“0”}},–xXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXx,Content-Type:text/plain,Content-Disposition:form-data; name=“file”; filename=“config.txt” ,[B@7e8de4,–xXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXx– Any idea of what I am doing wrong here?

Hi all, I have been currently tasked to automate the transfer of reports on a network drive to a shared folder on box. I was told to use box cli in conjunction with batch scripting to complete this. I have hit a roadblock in the creation of said script, and was looking for some additional perspective, as I may have missed a command or argument. Attached below is the “script” I tried to create for this project: robocopy "\\Network Folder" "\\Network Folder Archive" /MOV *.xlsx box folders:upload "\\Network Folder Archive" --parent-folder=(Shared Box Folder ID) The roadblock I have hit is in the transfer to box. Because box cli doesn’t overwrite folders, I cannot update the folder with new reports that come in. The other direction I wanted to take was to upload all of the files in the folder directly to box, but I couldn’t find a command to send all of the files to box at once. I experimented with the bulk csv commands, but because the monthly reports are going to have different file n

I talk to a lot of customers who want to start using or expand use of Box for secure and easy collaboration with external users like partners, vendors, customers and contractors. Some are very happy to use Box ‘out of the box’ but others already have a significant investment in a custom experience for these users or a desire to provide it, and don’t want to introduce a separate app with yet another login for their users.

I have created an app with a v2 webhook. The webhook triggers a JAVA application when it runs locally everything is good, but when the same application is being run inside a VM, the webhook is not getting triggered. Can anyone help what could be the issue or where can I see the logs to find the problem?
