Hello! I apologize if this is a silly question, but I am confused! Can someone help me figure out why this query isn’t working? I am hoping to retreive the file in question via the api (Box).


The file is public and exists, but the response I get is 404 not found.


Welcome to the forum @user128 🙂


I don’t think the value you entered in the shared_link field is correct. Your value is containing both : a shared link and a file ID. You should include the shared_link value only.


Plus, do you have access to this file ?

Most of the time, when you have a 404 while running Box API, it’s because you don’t have the appropriate permissions to access the file.
