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.

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.

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.

I am using JWT app (server authentication) method for authentication and using following parameter for authentication. CLIENT_ID CLIENT_SECRET ENTERPRISE_ID PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD PUBLIC_KEY_ID PRIVATE_KEY I am able to create folder, search folder using the APIs But while I am using https://{{upload.box.com}}/api/2.0/files/content api it is giving me 401 Unauthorized error. Note-> Since I need to upload many files to box in loop and above API is working first time but in second time it is giving me error. Appreciate urgent help.

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
