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 applicat

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.

I have a custom app registered/authorized by our Box admin with a permission scope of App+Enterprise , the C# client is using the Client Credentials Grant authentication method. I can get users in our Enterprise with the GetEnterpriseUsersAsync() method with no issue. However, it throws an exception of Box.V2.Exceptions.BoxAPIException : The API returned an error [Forbidden | figvvzhkcgjuvsex.02c4ce4ec440d4ba759f146d40493582d] forbidden - Forbidden when attempting to update a user via the .NET sdk UpdateUserInformationAsync method.

Here is my code: public uploadFiles = async (folderName: string, files: Blob[]) => { const folderId: string = await this.getFolderId(folderName); for (const file of files) { const stream: Readable = await blobToReadable(file); const attributes: UploadFileRequestBodyAttributesField = { name: file.name, parent: { id: folderId } } await this.boxClient.uploads.uploadFile({ attributes, file: stream }); } } const blobToReadable = async (blob: Blob): Promise<Readable> => { const buffer: Buffer = Buffer.from(await blob.arrayBuffer()); const stream = Readable.from(buffer); return stream; } I am using Bun.js instead of node. folderId is correct and the file is converted correctly from Blob to Readable

Hello, I am trying to access my Box app with Python code, that is using JWT to authenticate. Here is my code: from boxsdk import JWTAuth from boxsdk import Client from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization import load_pem_private_key import json import base64 private_key_fpath = "/path/to/PrivatKey.pem" #Settings below generated by the Box Developer Console settings_fpath = "/path/to/1234__config.json" with open(private_key_fpath, "rb") as key_file: priv_rsakey = load_pem_private_key(key_file.read(), password=None) with open(settings_fpath, "r") as f: settings = json.loads(f.read()) settings['boxAppSettings']['appAuth']["privateKey"] = priv_rsakey auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_dictionary( settings ) access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() I get the following error BoxOAuthException: Message: "kid" invalid, unable to lookup correct key Status: 400 URL: https://api.box.com/

Hello, I’m fairly new to box and want to download a publicly available repo which is fairly large in size (>1 TB). How can I parse through the whole repo and download all the files? Right now, the only way to do this is by manually download each file, and the repo has >7,000 files. This is quite frustrating and impractical. Are there any obvious solutions to this that I might have missed? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to build a Blazor web app that uses Box’s API, and I’m struggling to implement OAuth2 authentication. I followed the instructions/documentation listed here: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/ , but I’m having issues with obtaining the authorization code once I’m redirected to my app. Below is the code I have so far; it works as expected until I reach that final step. Any help will be greatly appreciated. -Code- private async Task OAuth2() { string authorizationUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=" + clientID + "&response_type=code"; // Configure SDK var config = new BoxConfig(clientID, clientSecret, new Uri(redirectUrl)); var sdk = new BoxClient(config); //Redirect user RedirectToAuthUrl(authorizationUrl); // Exchange code - TODO: Get auth code to ex

Hi! I have a client who wants me to back up ALL the files on an old Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS system to box.com. It’s a headless server (no gui) and they need every single file. There’s about 850 GB across 1,948,569 files in there. The largest file is only 2.4 GB. There are a few directories with a large number of files in them. The biggest count is 457,703 files in a single directory. They say they have unlimited box.com space and do not want to setup storage with another provider. I’m not sure I can run the box cli on this version of linux, and from what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem like it would be appropriate for something this big. I feel like FTPS would be the right thing (for box), but I can’t login to it from my personal account. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a business enterprise web application that I built in PHP and it is hosted on BlueHost. I have an entity named Attachment that is a many to one to a separate entity called Ticket. The Attachment entity represents a file attachment for a Ticket. The way it currently works to upload it is: I give the file a unique name (random GUID + extension) I upload the file to the file system I save a new instance of the record referencing the filename in the database Then to download it I: Get the Attachment record by its Id Search the file system by the filename defined in the record Return the file by its filename This worked fine, but I ran into an issue where I was running out of memory on the server, so I talked with the client and convinced them to a cloud based storage solution and we settled on Box. Now I’m attempting to migrate from using the file system to using Box. I have al

I am scratching my head here. Box Embed offers a ‘view’ parameter to allow you to set list or grid view, however I need programatically set Content Explorer to default to grid view when loading (it is for a content portal of photographs, so thumbnails are much easier to view than generic file icons). Any ideas here anyone?

I am trying to query files based on their metadata template that contain an ampersand ex: “A/7-8&9/389-399” using node box sdk metadata query method but it does not return values. It matches other values that do not have ampersand. Is there a way to handle special characters when trying to query them. I notice it works only if the query is setup as shown below var from = 'enterprise_someid.somekey', ancestorFolderId = 'somefolderid', options = { query : "DocumentId ILIKE :arg1 OR bookAndPageNumber = :arg2", query_params: { arg1: '%' + params + '%', arg2: params }, limit: 10 }; type or paste code here If i include the pattern matching operation it does not work var from = 'enterprise_someid.somekey', ancestorFolderId = 'somefolderid', options = {

Hello, I am looking to create a Python script that can read from and write to Box. I followed the Box Dev instructions and created an App, so that I can use the generated Client ID and Client Secret to authenticate with JWT. Am I able to restrict the scope of the Client ID and Client Secret to certain directories? I would like my app to have read/write access for a subset of Box directories, and to be restricted from read/write permissions to all others. Thanks, Alex

I am trying to create a shared link from a not root box folder by Java SDK using an enterprise account credential. log.info("Start createSharedLink. id: {}, canDownload: {}, canPreview: {}", id, canDownload, canPreview); BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(boxProvider.getConnect(), id); BoxSharedLinkRequest boxSharedLinkRequest = new BoxSharedLinkRequest() .permissions(canDownload, canPreview) .access(BoxSharedLink.Access.COLLABORATORS) .unsharedDate(Date.valueOf(LocalDate.now().plusDays(3))); BoxSharedLink sharedLink = folder.createSharedLink(boxSharedLinkRequest); log.info("End createSharedLink.

Hello everyone, I’ve been encountering an intermittent issue when trying to use the Box API to preview Excel Online files.
