Hi, When using the following command line: box folders:upload --parent-folder=xxxxxx [folder_to_upload] I am getting error messages “Could not upload file” not related to the size of the file. Sometimes these are .txt extensions but it can happen as well with other extensions such as .log, .json, these are usually small files of a few k. Is it possible to know why the files cannot be uploaded and is there a option to skip this error and continue the upload of the folder? the annoying bit is that the data transfer stops after this error. Thanks, Sol

I’ve been trying calling the upload API for box in node.js application and keep getting 415 Unsupported_Media_Type. I gave the correct parent id. Also tried using both parent_id and parent: { ‘id’: ‘12345’} response.status = 415 response.statusText = Unsupported Media Type I also tried "Try this API’ on the developers page and just get ‘An unknown error occured’. When tried to get more details from the browser developer tools then I see that the call just returned as above 415 and unsupported media type message. If I include 'Content-type" header with multipart/form-data then it doesn’t find the file part. What is the wrong with the following code? PS: I do not want to use SDK. var parent = ‘12345’; var token = 'Bearer ’ + accessToken; const url = 'https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content'; const fileData = fs.createReadStream("c:\\Work\\box-development\\CustomerRequest.txt"); let formData = new FormData(); formD

I have this error (in title) when i use JWTAuth, i think it’s because my enterprise ID is not valid, where can in find it? do i have to be admin in my enterprise to have access to it? When I point at getusers/me i don’t have information on my enterprise, did it mean that i don’t have enterprise?

Hi Support, Application hosted on Box App Centre is a centralized Application that can be installed on multiple Box accounts: What are the API and Rate limits applied to the API calls made by the installed application? Are the rate limits shared per installation or bound to the App Centre app for all installations? Which per month API call plans are applied to each of the installations? Thanks waiting for the response.

We use a workflow to set up the same folder structure under each new main file we add. So it works like Smith, John → Internal → Folder A → External → Folder A So the internal is for team member use, and the external is shared with clients to upload folders into. This structure gets created automatically each time we add a main folder using Box relay workflows. We would like to add the rule so that any file uploaded to Smith/External/Folder A gets copied to Smith/Internal/Folder A, and send a notification to the team. It doesn’t seem like there is a way to generically create those type of triggered rules through the AI, is there a way to do so through the API and SDK?

Hi, I am completely new to Box so please let me know if I am in the wrong place. I would like to be able to run a Curl command to pull a list of files modified in the last hour from my All Files view and it should look down through child folders. I found this: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/ which is nearly there but it needs a Token. And when I look for how to create a token I see https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/access-tokens/ but the example there dont show the -d values. I suspect I am on the wrong trail. Can What is the easiest way to create a token that I can use? Thanks

I am trying to retrieve the Folder ID based on the path of the folder using Microsoft Power Automate. I don’t see a Power Automate Action that accomplishes this. I’m not a developer so I am looking for a simple way to retrieve this information using the Box API. Any ideas?

Hi Box Developer Community! My company is looking to engage a freelance developer to assist with an API integration between Box and our Salesforce CRM, as well as uploading files to Box via API. Our question is where to find developers that have experience with the Box API and are available for a short term project like ours. LinkedIn is our usual source but is not good at searching for experience with a particular software like Box. A colleague suggested Fiverr as a possible source for this specialized talent. Any ideas from this Box Dev community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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.

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. 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 subfold

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.
