Box Platform

Hello all, I am using the Box API to upload files, which is working fine. But I would like to know is there a way to retrieve the “direct link” from the same api? And how would I set the sharing permissions so that my web app can access the file? My use case is:1- Upload an image using the box API.2- Retrieve the image URL.3- Use the image URL in a web app. (as an image source)Current issues:1- No clear way to generate the direct link from the API. It seems I have to share it in another API call. Or download it every time a user wants to preview it on the web app.2- No clear way to set CORS/viewing permissions without authenticating each user. (I would like to use my service account). What I’m looking for:-Add a property that automatically shares the file when it’s uploaded in the same API.-Have a whitelist for the web app domain or a way to allow it to preview without making the l

I have install boxsdk python package by ‘pip install boxsdk’. But Still got error like ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'boxsdk'Python 3.10.13pip 23.0.1 from /Users/elei/.pyenv/versions/3.10.13/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pip (python 3.10)Successfully installed boxsdk-10.0.1 This is a python example:from boxsdk import OAuth2, Client oauth = OAuth2(    client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID',    client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',    store_tokens=your_store_tokens_callback_method,    access_token=persisted_access_token,    refresh_token=persisted_refresh_token,)client = Client(oauth)

Can somebody help me what’s wrong with my below code? I am getting error: PS C:\Script\UploadToBox> python UploadtoBox2.pyTraceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Script\UploadToBox\UploadtoBox2.py", line 36, in <module> main() File "C:\Script\UploadToBox\UploadtoBox2.py", line 31, in main folder = client.folders.get_folder_by_id(folder_id) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\sajkumar\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\site-packages\box_sdk_gen\managers\folders.py", line 425, in get_folder_by_id response: FetchResponse = self.network_session.network_client.fetch( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\sajkumar\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\site-packages\box_sdk_gen\networking\box_network_client.py", line 85, in fetch request: APIRequest = self._prepare_request( ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\sajkumar\AppData\Roaming\Python\P

I need any Box Sign Certification – EU eIDAS Regulation Knowledge Paper, or any other official documentation verifying Box Sign’s compliance with relevant legal standards. I cant find any supporting document to the validity of box sign. as Box is not a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) under eIDAS, im tryong to understand what is the name of the QTSP (if any) that issues the qualified certificates when using Box Sign in Europe? 

We are receiving a 500 server error when attempting a upload using the BOX API. Is any one else experiencing the same? Our application have not changed and have been working as of yesterday. Here is the error we are getting:{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"An internal server error occurred"}

I don’t understand how we are supposed to handle signing log files. If we keep them as they are now, every revision we release through the Box sign process will generate a new signing log. We’ll end up with multiple signing logs, for each file. On top of that, if we search for a file, these signing logs appear in the results, unnecessarily confusing users. I understand the advantage of having them available, but it doesn’t make sense to treat them as a normal file.What is everyone else doing?

I having an issue connecting  When ever i call boxJWT.AdminTokenAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult() I get this...Box.V2.Exceptions.BoxAPIException: 'The API returned an error [BadRequest | .029b2b393ff5677f7723883563acadb4] unauthorized_client - This app is not configured properly. No public key(s) added.'

i got empty error message and i dont know why 

Good afternoon,Hope everyone was able to catch Boxworks today.Is there an easy way to utilize List enterprise users from the API to populate a user MetaData collection?The idea is that the users exist in Box and having to manually add users to the metadata collection is inefficient.  Thanks in advance,Rob

 We’re using the Box Sign REST API to send documents for signature. The document template already includes predefined signer blocks (created using FormStack).While sending the document, we dynamically set the signing order at runtime. For example, if we choose to have signer ABC sign first and signer XYZ sign second, the document should direct ABC to their specific signing block first, and then XYZ to theirs.The issue is that we need a way to uniquely associate each signer with their corresponding predefined signing block, so that Box Sign correctly routes each signer to their designated area, based on the runtime-defined signing order.Can you please advise how to handle this scenario?

Good day, I have been tasked with automating a file upload to box with Power Automate. If the dated directory doesn’t exist in box to upload the file to then my process must create the directory first. I don’t see any “Create Folder” action in Power Automate for the Box connector - How can I create a folder in box with Power Automate?My box account has the necessary permission to create folders (I’ve tested on box website) but I  need to automate this through Power Automate Desktop but I don’t see the action to so

When calling “Create Folder (https://developer.box.com/reference/post-folders/)”,an HTTP status 403 error was returned with:code: access_denied_insufficient_permissionsmessage: Access denied - insufficient permissionThe API documentation states:403This error is returned when the user lacks the necessary access permissions to perform this action. This may be because the user lacks access to the folder or its parent folder, or the application lacks write permissions for files and folders.However, in this case, what specific permission was lacking?

im having issues with the API, previously i used sign request sandbox which worked great and my portal was pulling data and adding it to the agreements before sending, when trying to add the prefill tags its not pulling the data and then sending the agreement, basically box is refusing the prefill tags being added before sending the document, does anyone know if this is possible for the API to add text tags from my platform to be added to an agreement then be sent for signature ?

I updated a Python environment this afternoon and my code using boxsdk stopped passing validation. The environment claiming that “boxsdk is not present,” despite it being installed. I then noted the module version had jumped from 3.14.0 to 10.0.0. I reverted to 3.14.0 and the code again passed validation. Suspicious?

Hello! I’ve seen documentation stating that the Box Visualforce page is available on custom object, but it is only available on the account object. How should I proceed in order to make it available on custom objects or even objects like Opportunities or Contacts?

Hello Team,We have successfully configured the Box Authorization Service and are able to collect data from Box accounts that have a small number of collaborators (less than 5).However, when attempting to collect from accounts with a large number of collaborators (for example, 92K or 140K), the collection fails after about 5–10 minutes with the following error:Error: “Error loading evidence file”Upon logging the exception details, we observed the following:Exception Type: System.Net.WebExceptionMessage: The operation has timed outDetails: Box Authorization Service: Configured and validated successfully Works as expected for low collaborator counts Fails consistently for high collaborator counts (tens of

I read the below aritcle. It’s awesome!!https://blog.box.com/box-community-mcp-server-updates-you-didnt-know-you-neededI have two questions:the authentication parameter is --box-auth, not --auth, right? I can’t connect n8n MCP Client that’s endpoint is set to http://0.0.0.0:8001/sse. I need set it to http:host.docker.internal:8001/sse. do you use a local docker and a local mcp server or not? If I set Authentication parameter “None”, the MCP Client can’t connect local MCP Server. the local MCP server displays the below error: WARNING:middleware:No token configured, rejecting all requests IN

I am trying to run self hosted mcp server using CCG but to get tokens I need a server authentication app to run it on an azure web app as a container. My account is on box free trial.Issue-I can’t authorize the platform app as server authentication. Would be also interested to know what solution other people came up with to get pass this obstacle.

Hi everyone,I'm trying to integrate Box with WatsonX Orchestrate, and I’ve run into an issue I hope someone can help me with.Here’s my setup:I created a Box application using OAuth 2.0 with Client Credentials Grant (Server Authentication). The application has already been approved by the Box administrator. I’m attempting to connect this Box app to WatsonX Orchestrate. However, when I try to establish the connection from WatsonX Orchestrate, I get the following error:redirect_uri_mismatchI understand that this error typically means the redirect URI used in the authentication flow doesn’t match what’s registered in the Box Developer Console. But since I’m using Client Credentials Grant, there shouldn’t be a redirect URI involved, right?Has anyone successfully c

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can explain a bit more about how the ftp server add on works. (https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/ [removed by moderator] -Using-Box-with-FTPS , https://app.box.com/integrations/box_ftp_server/) I have a client that still uses FTP to upload images to an online platform. It would be great if I could share with them the proper use of this addon. They need to be able to send images or the contents of a folder from their box.com account directly to the external platform via FTP. The functionality I’m looking for is as follows: Images from my clients box account ---->FTP ---> external site platform

I’m using the Box Sign API to send a signature request using the POST /sign-requests endpoint:https://developer.box.com/reference/post-sign-requests/I’ve included HTML-formatted text in the email_message field so the email content appears styled (e.g., bold text, line breaks, etc.).The email is received correctly — the formatting in the email appears to be fine. However, in the signature request view, the email text is displayed with raw HTML tags instead of being rendered as formatted text.Is there a way to make the HTML render properly in the signature request, or does the API only support plain text for this field?Thanks in advance for your help!

We are using Box from the user's perspective. We have an Enterprise license.It seems that the SFTP feature has been implemented, so I tried to check the connection because I want to use it for our regular operations, but it appears to be denied with 'Permission denied'.I would like to contact the Box administrator, but is there any permission setting that needs to be configured on the administrator side?ー　ー　ーboxをユーザ側の立場で利用しています。enterpriseライセンスです。SFTPの機能が実装されたということで、普段の運用業務で利用したいと思い接続確認してみましたが、Permission deniedで拒否されてしまうようです。box管理者に問い合わせしたいのですが、管理者側で何か許可設定をする必要はあるのでしょうか。

I’m an admin trying to transfer files from one user who has left our organization to her supervisor… however… I am getting an error "Source User is locked" with the API or “...is in another operation” when attempting to move files or change the folder owner in Box -- it’s been several days and it just never changes. I’ve tried several things and tried waiting for days -- but this is just a weird account that won’t budge.
