Hi @user233 , welcome to the forum!



That is odd, and you are not providing much information to help diagnose the issue.



I can duplicate this by trying to guess, so here it goes.



The recent end point will only work if it has a user security context, as opposed to a service account, because only users have recent entries.



Consider an application setup as CCG, and using the enterprise id:

curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/recent_items' \


--header 'Authorization: Bearer VK...JD'


I get a 403.



The same application using a user:



image



curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/recent_items' \


--header 'Authorization: Bearer lg...JW'


Returns:



{


    "next_marker": "",


    "limit": 100,


    "order": {


        "by": "interacted_at",


        "direction": "DESC"


    },


    "entries": [...many entries...]


}


Let us know if this helps
