I’m only getting the URL which is a direct download link and preview URL? how can I get the actual URL of the file? If its image file, I wanna get the URL with .jpg extension; not the preview or direct download ones

I have the box sign requests API working well (https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests). I specify a “template_id” in our request and when the user signs, the name of the file is the name of the template file with the date/time appended to the filename (e.g. “templatefile 2024-06-13 14:54:53.161503.pdf”) Is there a way to customize the name of the file that is created when the signing is complete? The sign_request element has a “name” object, but when I set this, it doesn’t change the filename. It DOES set the filename of the signing log, but not the file that is actually signed. I suppose I could do a second API call to change the name, but I would like to reduce the number of calls to the API.

Hello Team, We are trying to send a file from BOX to Webdam with integration connector and it is not working. However, when we send the file from Webdam to Box it seems to be working fine. Please share the prerequisites to be taken before send file from BOX to Webdam. Thansk for the support

Auth Error: Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid. [400 Bad Request] invalid_grant - Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid.

Context: We are actively builidng a Box Integration. Developed a custom-application to use Authentication as OAuth2.0, Created a web-integration to “Process the File” We use the Auth-Code received from Web-Integration to get the DownloadURL for the file. We are not storing each user’s access-token in our database. Instead, we are authorising Admin/Co-Admin and store’s his/her AccessToken/Refresh Token. After Processing the file-content asynchronously, we need to upload a new version of the file later. We are using the Admin/Co-Admin access-token stored in our database to initialize the Node-SDK and upload the file version. Problem: When we try to Upload the file, We started getting error - “404 Not Found”

I have concerns about potential API charges associated with using Box webhooks, and I would appreciate your insights on this matter. For instance, when using Webhook v2 to capture file update events, is there a difference in API charges if the target is a folder containing approximately three files compared to a folder containing a large number of files and subfolders? Thank you for your assistance.

Hello community, Is there a way to use the Marker-Based Pagination with Python SDK? I’m currently trying to perform a search that will exceed the 10.000 limitation for the ‘offset’ property. Therefore, I’m trying to perform it with a marker-based object collection but haven’t found any documentation on how to perform the search with Python scripting. I would really appreciate your help upon this matter. Thanks in advance!

I’ve incorporated Box into my applications and have relied on it for several months. Previously, I’ve been utilizing the getDownloadURL function outlined in their documentation to download individual files. Now, my objective is to download an entire folder as a zip file. To accomplish this, I’ve utilized a recursive implementation of the getDownloadURL function and manually recreated the folder structure to mimic that of Box. Is there a built-in solution or workaround provided by Box for this scenario? The current process is consuming significant server resources and is prone to failure, especially when dealing with folder sizes in the gigabytes range. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello to you all I am quite new to Box (coming from pCloud, with reliability issues) I have an issues when creating folder shared links with an API call. I do receive a folder shared_link.url, but no shared_link.download_url (I have the link that displays the content of the shared folder, I look for the link that would download the archive of the shared folder) In the JSON returned by the BOX API, at the shared_link.download_url variable, I am receiving a ‘null’ value. In the API documentation, an URL is received. If you have an idea about this, would you be so kind as to share it with me ? Kind regards, Pierre I place the following call (PUT) https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/XXXXXXX?fields=shared_link Body: { "shared_link": { "access": "open", "password": null, "unshar

Hello, I’ve integrated Box into my applications and have been utilizing it for several months. Currently, I display all the files using Box URLs within an iframe. Additionally, I’ve implemented a download option using the getDownloadURL function, allowing users to download PDFs or DOC files, which they can then print using their Office 365 apps. Our new requirement is to streamline the process by providing users with a direct print option within our application, eliminating the need to download the file first. We’ve attempted to achieve this by obtaining the download URL and employing JavaScript code for printing, but unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful. Can you guide us to achieve this feature. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Hello all, The developer community will be moving to a new platform soon! This move is being made to enable a better experience for community members, and will be the first step in moving the broader Box community into one platform. So if you’re an admin and a developer, or a partner and a developer, your community experiences will exist all in one space. We will be migrating all users and content as of 10am ET this morning (6 May 2024). We will also be creating an archive of all posts from the former Zendesk forum, so you have access to all the historical data and if you have an account here, it should map to your account there so you will still have access to any posts or replies you have created here. We will do our best to migrate things that take place here from now until the 15th, but it will be a manual process, so apologies in advance if we miss anything. The new site will also move to https://community.box.com, bu

Hi, I need to download all the files in https://app.box.com/s/rf6p81j3o507e8c5saywtlc1p91f8po9 I cannot download it through the browser because the files are > 150 GB. Thus, I want to create a script that downloads the files one by one. To do so, I signed up for Box, and created a Custom App. On the ‘purpose’ drop-down menu, I selected ‘other’. Next, I selected ‘server authentication (with JWT)’. I then navigated to the configuration tab and added clicked ‘Genereate a Public/Private Keypair’, which downloaded a file named 0_XXXXXenv_config.json where the X’s are random digits/characters. I renamed this file to config.json and then tried to run: from boxsdk import JWTAuth, Client auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('config.json') client = Client(auth) auth.authenticate_instance() shared_folder = client.g

I looking for an option to create automatically file request URL at the creation of the folder, as every folder represent a job done by freelancers that need to share proof with me. The idea is to get register in my sistem → create a folder via API → create is File request link → Active trigger when something is uploaded via file request link. The API doc only says: Limitations Currently, the API only allows the creation of new file requests by copying an existing file request associated to another folder. Please check our guide to create a template folder with a template file request.
