Can the Memberspace create account functionality duplicate with Box, so when users create a memberspace account on my website they also have created a Box account/login? Then when they click on the file request link on my website or a shared linked on my website they will be automatically redirected to Box and they will know its the same log in to use as memberspace (or will still be logged in via the redirect) This will allow my customers to freely upload, edit, view etc Documents that are specifically for them (hosted on Box) but only accessible through a Memberspace login.

The OAuth 2.1 “spec” simplifies some of the OAuth 2.0 specifications (e.g. eliminates those that are no longer considered secure, etc). One of the things OAuth 2.1 suggests is using PKCE even for Confidential (Server Side Clients). Here’s what OAuth 2.1 says, " PKCE is required for all OAuth clients using the authorization code flow" I don’t see any mention of PKCE in the Box documentation. Can you tell me if PKCE is being considered for future Box authentication?

Hello, this is Yane. My boss instructed me to use the BOX API to create a folder under a specific employee’s folder, and to create an application to check the contents of the folder. Is there any setting required to check the contents of a specific employee’s folder instead of the contents of the service account? Or should I just code in the API? Can you tell me please. I know that I can get the items in the service account folder by running the following python code. items = client.folder(folder_id=‘22222’).get_items() for items in items: print(f’{item.type.capitalize()} {item.id} is named “{item.name}”')

I wanted to register for a developer account from the Box page (Creating Your Developer Account – Box Support), so I clicked on the Developer Sign Up Page (https://account.box.com/signup/developer) linked on that page. On the page after clicking, I couldn’t find the section that would allow me to become a Developer, and instead, the usual sign-up page for a regular account was displayed. I would like to develop and test Box applications, but it seems I cannot do that with a Personal account. Could you please provide guidance on how I can proceed with development? best.

Hi Team, The latest Box CLI v3.9.1 doesn’t recognize the file or folder id in CSV files, does anyone encounter the same issue.

Is there any way to generate AUTHORIZATION_CODE command line or its required manual browser integration all the time?

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.

While testing the API request for updating a phone number using the endpoint https://api.box.com/2.0/users/{=[NODE_INPUT]} , \we discovered an unexpected issue. After making a PUT request to the specified endpoint, we have not yet received a response. We are still waiting for its response.

I have requested for enablement of API. But it is still in pending state.

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.

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

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.
