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}”')

Please enable it to use metadata queries. Metadata query is not currently available and the following error occurs. too_many_instances - Too many instances, and no supporting index available Can it be enabled?

Hello, this is Yane. Could you tell me about ① and ② below regarding the number of API calls? please. ①If the number of API calls exceeds the limit of 50000 times/month of the contracted plan (Business Plus), will it be impossible to call the API? Or is it possible to use it after charging? ②Also, from which screen should I check the number of API calls?

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.

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.
