Hi there, I’m trying to use the Box API with Client Credentials. I can get the access token but when I try to use this token to get a list of items from a folder I got this response: { “type”: “error”, “status”: 403, “code”: “access_denied_insufficient_permissions”, “help_url”: “http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors”, “message”: “Access denied - insufficient permission”, “request_id”: “ag9fdlhmauc74la5” } The folder I’m trying to access was created by me. How I don’t have permission to access it?

Hi, I’m new to Box and am trying to create a signature template that allows me to pass data from my app to the template that is not editable by any signer and is visible to all users. So far I am able to pass data via the pre_fill tags but they are editable for the signer, and aren’t visible to the other signers. I’m using the typescript SDK and have made a template that has external ID’s which I have locked in the template. What do I need to do to solve my issue?

We are making UI Elements mobile responsiveness updates to ensure consistency across mobile and desktop experiences. These updates will be implemented within the Content Explorer, Content Uploader, Content Picker, and Content Preview UI Elements. To see a full list of changes, check out the recent version 19 summary on GitHub. Box UI Elements are pre-built UI components that allow devs - you! - to add elements of the main Box web application into your own applications. They can be used to navigate through, upload, preview, and select content stored on Box and are available both as React components and framework-agnostic JavaScript libraries. To learn more about UI Elements, check out our developer documentation.

We have a list of 7826 files in a .csv document that we need to create a shared link for in bulk, and then send an individual public link out to each person. our internal employee hopes to have this done by tomorrow (very last minute request, but for a very important external client).

Hello everyone, I am currently developing a minimum viable product for my company using Bubble.io. I am looking for an efficient and scalable way to store documents that my application can access. It seems to me that Box might be a simple solution for this. I am trying to use the Box plugin on Bubble. I have already found the Client ID, Client Secret, Enterprise ID, and User ID. I have also created a custom OAuth2 app on Box’s developer profile. However, I can’t seem to find what the plugin on Bubble.io refers to as the API Key and PublicKey ID. Can you help me? There are probably some preliminary steps in creating this integration that I have missed, so please feel free to direct me to introductory readings or specific tutorials for Bubble.io and Box. In particular, I am wondering if the API Key and PublicKey ID are elements that are automatically generated by Box or if I need to configure them manually. Additionally, advice on best practices for securing these keys and integrating Bo

Do developer tokens cease working after a request for application approval? Every time I try to generate a token it seems to work but the token gives me a expiration error and if I refresh the developer console the developer token does not persist. My application is not approved yet and so I’m now blocked. I can’t find anything in the docs. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have an Enterprise account where they hd shared a folder with us. Using the CCG auth with the user ID of mine. I get the reperesentations but it’s not showing any collaborators. Is it any settings set by the admin of the enterprise for that folder. Or is there any issue with the collaborations view permissions But when calling the collaborators of the folder I get a group. The issue is also that when I login I can see my login as viewer but when my frind login they can see their emails as viewer but not mine.

Is there any way to securely upload files via HTTPS without creating an “app”? I just want a lightweight integration to post the results of a Jenkins job via curl. I don’t want to manage a complicated “app” lifecycle with admins and tokens and CORS domains and and and … surely there must be a way to do this with some kind of personal access token? My Box organization doesn’t allow FTP. I also can’t upload securely via email since my file might transit unencrypted or 3rd-party exchanges.

Hello, I have created a box connector application for one of my client who is an Enterprise user. I have used the CCG and approved the application I have created through the Box dev console. So now I have a service account and the requirement is that they will be providing some box urls and based on which we fetch the contents for them. Now as we use the CCG my understanding is that either we need to use the user id who has access to the said URL folders/files to authenticate so that my application can fetch the details Or, use the enterprise id but share the said folder/files in box with the service account email so that our application can use. I currently use this method please confirm if I’m doing it correctly or is their any other way that one account has access to all or my understandng of service account is wrong? @ajankowski , @mwoda, @rbarbosa
