SDKs and Tools

I’m trying to use the .NET SDK to create a signature request for a file. My code is: public async Task<BoxSignRequest> CreateSignatureRequest(BoxUser user, string signerEmail, string emailMessage, string subject, string sourceFileId, string destinationFolderId) { var userClient = GetUserClient(user); //this uses the Client Credentials Grant to get a token for the user that owns the file BoxSignRequestCreateRequest createRequest = new BoxSignRequestCreateRequest() { AreRemindersEnabled = true, AreTextSignaturesEnabled = false, DaysValid = 10, EmailMessage = emailMessage, EmailSubject = subject, ParentFolder = new BoxRequestEntity() { Id = destinationFolderId }, Signers = new List<BoxSignRequestSignerCreate>() { new BoxSignRequestSignerCreate() { Email = signerEmail, LoginRequired = true, Role = BoxSignRequest

My request is VERY basic. Get a list of thee following: List all top level folders List the path of the folder List the owners and co-admins List the size of the folder including subfolders List the number of items in the folder and subfolders Using JWT for this and have enabled all scopes with apps + enterprise access The real issue is that I STILL have to add the service account as a co-admin to get this data. How can I ensure my enterprise token access allows me to read data enterprise-wide? It is ridiculous that this isn’t even a report in the console that I must build a custom solution.

I cannot upload to the Box by calling API in the Azure Data Factory. I can not use SDK and I got HTTP 400 error , “Malformed stream” following is the Body that I created in the Azure pipeline:( it should be in JSON format) @concat('--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1 content-disposition: form-data; name=“attributes” {“name”:“testdev.xlsx”, “parent”:{“id”:“0”}} --------------------------9fd09388d840fef1 content-disposition: form-data; name=“file”; filename=“testdev.xlsx” content-type: text/csv ‘, variables(‘varFileContents’),’ --------------------------9fd09388d840fef1– ')

I have a ui which I manage authorization via Okta. So for a user to access the box files it creates a temporary shared link that expires after an hour. This link is opened by the UI and this has worked great for past month and lets me manage more advance authorization and such on my end rather than adding people to our folders directly. However, out of no where my code stopped working and its drawing an error at the creating the shared link and the stack trace doesnt give much info. Here is my code: public async Task<string> GetSharedLink(string Id) { try { BoxClient adminClient = _session.AdminClient(await token.FetchTokenAsync()); var sharedLinkParams = new BoxSharedLinkRequest() { Access = BoxSharedLinkAccessType.company, Permissions = new BoxPermissionsRequest { Download = true, Edi

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to prevent an employee from being able to sign a document or to request a signature. Eventually I would like some help with the java sdk. Sincerely

Is there any way to differentiate the two types of file locks, as explained below?? A user can manually lock a file. A user can click the custom application’s web-integration and it can lock the file using BOX-APIs. I have a custom application with OAuth2.0 and Web Integrations. OnClick of a web-integration, I use node-sdk (Initialised with user’s auth-code) to lock the file. Later, I used the search API to get all files in the folder., Is there any way to identify the files locked via my application, using NodeSDK? I want to unlock them only, if it is locked by the application itself. I couldn’t find anything to achieve this. Can you help me find a workaround for this?? Is there any fields in lock object, that i can re-purpose for this use-case? Thanks, Sarin

I have been struggling to get a thumbnail representation through the .net sdk. I am able to get the url for the download but everytime I try to download it through an httpclient request to return a stream, the stream results and memorystream converted to base64 are unusable. I am unsure if my approach is not correct or if there is an issue with the sdk. My code is as follows: public async Task<string> GetThumbnailImageById(string Id) { BoxClient adminClient = _session.AdminClient(await token.FetchTokenAsync()); var requestParams = new BoxRepresentationRequest() { FileId = Id, XRepHints = "[png?dimensions=1024x1024]" }; BoxRepresentationCollection<BoxRepresentation> representations = await adminClient.FilesManager .GetRepresentationsAsync(requestParams); var url = representations.Entries.FirstOrDefault().Info.Url.ToString();

I am using Box-Node-SDK to fetch details of a file in my drive. As you can see in the below screenshot, I created the file and modified it multiple times. We can clearly see that I am the owner of the file., in the file details. But, when I fetch the File-Info using Node-Box-SDK. The “Permissions” object in the response shows “can_upload” as “false”. I have created a Custom-Application to use Auth2.0. Added a Web-Integration, I used the auth-code Received from web-integration to Initialise BoxClient and Fetch FileDetails. Am I missing something obvious here? Why is “can_upload” show “false”, When I have access to the file, and uploaded a new version multiple times? Thanks, Sarin

Hi Team, I got stuck when I tried to run the script from the repository Mini Box MediaInfo Video Metadata Uploader on GitHub. I followed the README instructions step by step, and I also check the Video on YouTube. When I ran the following command: python3 src/main.py -c I got the following error: ImportError: cannot import name ‘appengine’ from ‘urllib3.contrib’ Can anyone help me understand why I got this? Thanks.

Hi, What is the use of using the SDK when we already have API. We can directly use those API. I am trying to do chunk file upload. For that it initially creates a session and then uploads parts of a file (https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/:upload_session_id) this the API to upload parts of a file. I checked in SDK how they uploading the parts of a file, in that they have handled all the file splitting and every required. But when I tried the https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/:upload_session_id API in postman, I am not able to upload file. My question if SDK are handling these splitting functionalities, Does API also handle all the scenarios? What is the benefit of using SDK if we already have API?

If I have my own logger+handler and not using BasicConfig… so like this… chandler = logging.StreamHandler() chandler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter('[%(levelname)s] %(asctime)s %(message)s')) logger = logging.getLogger("my_custom_logs") logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logger.addHandler(chandler) I’m getting weirdness with client.uploads.upload_file_version where it hangs for 10mins, then the created version is blank. It’s not throwing any Exceptions and nothing lands in my logger What’s the correct way to get debug logs from the BoxClient?

Hi @rbarbosa, I am also trying to fetch files and folders in content explorer, using metadata query in node/react. I am facing 2 issues: getting back all files and folders for a sponsorCode metadata as a response. But only files are getting displayed in content explorer. Folders are not getting displayed. I have 3 folders with different values for sponsorCode metadata(Folder 1- TESTF metadata, Folder 2- TESTR metadata, Folder 3- TESTM metadata. I am only able to fetch files/folders for TESTR metadata. Other searches are resulting in no data in response. I have waited for more than 48 hours after applying metadata. Can you pls help solve this?

Hello! Just wondering if anyone else has been getting a lot of 104 Connection reset errors being sent from the Python BoxSDK client. We have an API set up to receive webhook events from Box but will receive 104 connection events randomly that seem to cause an error executing the webhook endpoint. Most of the time it executes fine but when there is an error I noticed the 104 connection reset state will persist for a bit blocking the endpoint from executing properly. Wondering if there is a way to limit the amount of resets the boxclient will do to prevent blocking from what Im assuming is the retry logic.

I have created a box custom-app, with web integration and configured it as per the documentation. I can see my integrations in the context menu of files/folders and it is working as expected. However, the integration is not visible to other users. attached are the screenshots of my custom application and web-integration configurations. I can see the application with status as enabled., in “My Apps” in developer console. I have added another developer as a collaborator. He still can’t see the web-integrations. Web Integration configurations Integration status is set to Online (Visible for all users) In the Admin console., I have added the application using “ClientID” and it shows as enabled in the “User Authenticated Apps” list. But, still not available for any other users. In Box Cloud, When I try to search for Apps and My Apps, I can the application listed. But for other users, this is not available. This issue blocks my development and testing of box integration.

We are building an Integration in the box cloud: 1. Application Type: Custom App 2. Authentication Type: OAuth 2.0 3. Context Menu items are added using “Web Integration” The Web Integration (Context Menu) Configuration is: Supports all file extensions Integration Type is “Files” We are using BOX-NODE-SDK, to get the file details from the received fileId.

Hi there- This is regarding the box ui library on Github and the below issue. github.com/box/box-ui-elements Support for React 18 opened 09:04AM - 08 Aug 23 UTC yaelsch We recently upgraded to react 18 and noticed that the drag and drop functionalit…y of the content uploaded is effected. If you drop two files to the drop zone, only one appears in the list. I downgraded to react 17 and made sure that indeed the cause to the bug is react 18. I noticed in your documentation that you currently don't support react 18, do you have plans to upgrade soon? Or alternatively, is there a way to workaround this issue? Is this library actively maintained and are there plans to update this package for compatibility with React 18? We have an internal tool that we would like to integrate with Box, however, it

Hello, all. Thank you in advance for the assistance. I am working on authenticating to box via JWT in python. I am currently authenticating like this: auth = JWTAuth( client_id='<CLIENT ID>', client_secret='<CLIENT SECRET>', enterprise_id='<ENTERPRISE ID>', jwt_key_id='<JWT KEY ID>', rsa_private_key_file_sys_path='/Users/folder/private_key.pem', rsa_private_key_passphrase='<PASSWORD>', ) access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() client = Client(auth) However, when I try and access my files in the box, I am not able to find any via code (even though there are certainly files in my account): client.folder('0').get() The interesting thing is that I am able to access all of the files and folders in my account if I use the development client, go into the developer console, and manually copy and paste an access token into the application: from boxsdk import DevelopmentClient client = DevelopmentClient() I was curious if anyone had a

Hi! im a new member. I have some questions: When i create an app, i see enterpriseid equal to 0? how do i have enterpriseid without 0. And i dont see Authorization tab like the docs.(https://developer.box.com/platform/user-types/) I want to use box-node-sdk to download file without limitation time login. for now i see it limited 60 mins with Developer Token. Is there a way to authorize without a time limit ( im using box-node-sdk)? It seems that authorizing with enterprise will not limit it, I’m not sure. If there is a limit, it will only be limited to a few days? thank you.
