created a folder using the BOX API. However, I can't find the folder created in all files on the browser.

Hello, this is Yane I created a folder using the BOX API. However, I can’t find the folder created in all files on the browser. You can find the created folder by searching the folder with BOX API. Why can’t I see the folder I created in all files on my browser? code: from boxsdk import Client from boxsdk import CCGAuth # Arguments fetched from the BOX management screen CLIENT_ID = ‘aaaaaaaaaaaaaa’ CLIENT_SECRET = ‘dddddddddd’ # client secret code’ ENTERPRISE_ID = ‘cccccccccccccc’ auth = CCGAuth( client_id=CLIENT_ID, client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET, enterprise_id=ENTERPRISE_ID ) client = Client(auth) print(f’Id of the authenticated user is: {client.user().get().id}‘) subfolder = client.folder(‘0’).create_subfolder(‘My Stuff’) print(f’Created subfolder with ID {subfolder.id}’) list items in folder items = client.folder(folder_id=‘0’).get_items() for items in items: print(f’{item.type.capitalize()} , {item.name}"') result: Id of the authenticated user is: 27822023285 All Files Folder , My St

Any API/SDK access to Canvas and/or Relay?

Hello, Are there any endpoints via REST API or SDK for access to Box Relay and Box Canvas? I’ve seen the REST API for workflows, but it seems pretty limited. I’m interested more in admin reporting, like how many workflows are in use, how often they’re triggered, who’s triggering them, etc. With Canvas, I’m interested in similar stats as Relay. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks.

Help Integrating Box, File Request feature with wordpress users? Happy to pay!

Hi There I am creating a wordpress site, where my students will be able to upload files on individual topics. File request features allows me, where I can create individual links / folder for specific topics Now the issue is that, they have to add their name, email addresses (i know you can remove it) again. Will it be possible to integrate this with WordPress username or profile, so that they don’t have to add their details again? I am happy to pay if someone can help me. Thanks

Files listing api call

Hi Support, I was looking for an API call to list all items in a folder including files inside the children and sub-children folders. I checked the https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/ API call, but it lists only files and folders inside that exact folder rather than child folders. I am looking forward to the community response.

Box Integration

I’m currently integrating Box authentication into my Angular application. Here’s an overview of the process: I open a new window for Box authentication using the following code const authorizationUrl = ‘Box - Free Online File Storage, Internet File Sharing, Access Documents & Files Anywhere, Backup Data, Share Files’; const openedWindow = window.open(authorizationUrl, “s”, “width=640,height=480,left=300,top=100,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no,copyhistory=no”); Once the user completes the authentication process in the opened window, Box provides an access token via a callback to my Angular application. I want to retrieve the access code from the authenticated Box window and use it in my Angular application for subsequent API requests. However, I’m encountering a “DOMException: Blocked a frame with origin” error when trying to access the cross-origin frame from https://account.box.com. I have already added https

I would like to bring your attention to our application, which can be accessed at the following URL: ‎Duplicate Files Fixer on the Mac App Store Duplicate Files Fixer is designed to efficiently remove duplicate files from users’ Mac and PC systems. It provides support for both local and cloud platforms. Currently, we offer integration with Google Drive and Dropbox as part of our cloud platform support. In an effort to further enhance our cloud platform support, I am interested in adding a “remove duplicates from Box Cloud” feature to our application. To achieve this, I have used Box API. All integration is done successfully. However, I have encountered an issue regarding the authorization process, specifically transitioning from the “Internal” status to the “Production” status.
