Hi folks, Hi folks, thinking that you use the Box Postman Collection to interact with our API, I wanted to share this with you: With the objective to make our API Postman collection more flexible, I’ve been working on it so that it supports all of Box authentication types Developer Token, OAuth, CCG, and JWT. The idea is to detect the type of environment selected, and adjust the token refresh accordingly. I’ve also created a few helper methods to create these environments. I would very much like you take it for a spin, and send some feedback. You can fork this collection from here. You can leave your feedback by replying to this post. And of course ping me with any questions. Cheers

Hello, I’m just getting started with Box CLI and need a way to batch remove hundreds of external users that have tens of thousands of collaborations within an enterprise. We can remove one at a time from the legacy admin dashboard, but I’d like to do this in batch via Box CLI, as advised by Box Support. I can’t find any documentation on external users specifically, only on the individual collaborations of managed users. Thoughts? -Vlad Weinstein

I’m using the following snippet, I don’t receive any event in uploaderClose method. var configData = { ACCESS_TOKEN: "XXXXXXXX", FOLDER_ID: "XXXXXX" }; function uploaderClose(e) { console.log('close:', e); } var optionsUploader = { 'onClose' : uploaderClose } var options = { 'container': '.explorer', 'contentUploaderProps': optionsUploader } var contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer(); contentExplorer.show(configData.FOLDER_ID, configData.ACCESS_TOKEN, options);
I was testing out bun instead of npm or node and I couldn’t get the same behavior: what I mean by that is that running the app with bun I was not able authenticate, but I was with node (see below example) https://app.dashcam.io/replay/64ff8108923289006233ea16 Any idea what might be causing that?
As per Box documentation, the clearCache function of Content Explorer should force reload the items. But when I call the same function, I don’t see any reload of items in Content Explorer widget. I am using Content Explorer version 17.1.0. /** Clears out the internal in-memory cache for the content explorer forcing re-load of items via the API. @public @return {void} */ contentExplorer.clearCache();

I have a simple question, I am running a python script that searches for files regularly in box folders. Is there a way to refresh this box folder within my script? Thanks a lot.
I am using a python script to search for files in a specific folder, the folder contains over 25K files I have an excel with filenames that the script needs to search for. Part of the script looks like this: Start searching and downloading for file_name in file_names_to_download: print(f"Searching for {file_name} …“) search_results = client.search().query(query=f”{file_name}“, limit=10, ancestor_folder_ids=[folder_id]) exact_matches = [item for item in search_results if item.name == f”{file_name}"] if not exact_matches: print(f"No exact match found for {file_name}.") df.loc[df.iloc[:, 0] == file_name, 'Status'] = 'Not Found' continue if len(exact_matches) > 1: print(f"More than one exact match found for {file_name}. Using the first match.") item_to_download = exact_matches[0] print(f"Found {file_name}. Downloading ...") found_files.append(item_to_download.name) item_download_path = os.path.join(download_path, item_to_download.name) try: with open(item_downloa

I’m new to the Box API, and I’m trying (and failing) to get JWT Authetication working I’ve created a Custom App in my free individual account which shows enterprise id 0 I downloaded the JSON file that was generated containing the app settings. auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file(‘0_i21yxr8x_config.json’) auth.authenticate_instance() client = Client(auth) When I run my code I get an error boxsdk.exception.BoxOAuthException: Message: Please check the ‘sub’ claim. The ‘sub’ specified is invalid. Status: 400 URL: https://api.box.com/oauth2/token Method: POST I read somewhere the “enterpriseID”: “0” in the json file might be causing this issue. How do I get a working enterprise ID? Or is there a way to use the User ID?
Good afternoon, there is a project for react typescript. All the integration has already been fully done, but we got a problem with the display of UI Elements. When importing a component, I got the error Could not find a declaration file for module ‘box-ui-elements/es/elements/content-explorer’. ‘***/node_modules/box-ui-elements/es/elements/content-explorer/index.js’ implicitly has an ‘any’ type. (any component, this one as an example). How can I import and make it work instead of with a typescript?

[First post – please bear with me.] Box recently sent me a notice about deprecating some SSL protocols. Legacy SSL Ciphers Deprecation The suggestion is to use “api-test(.)box(.)com” instead of the normal “api(.)box(.)com” to test whether you need to make security changes to your app. The problem I’m facing is I use the BOX SDK v.2 (with C#) which has “api(.)box(.)com” hardcoded in the library so I can’t change it to use the testing URL. [The (.) is to get around the new user 1 link only restrictions.] Any suggestions? Please let me know if you need more info. thanks, randy
I am getting the following error while previewing a file. The error message says, The document may be protected, but I am able to preview the same if i use a new downscoped token. Form network tab, It seems when we click on preview, it tries to download the resource, but the resource is not found. When I tried hitting the same API in postman. I got the following response. This happens when I try to preview a documents after some interval of 10-15 minutes. Is there a solution available to explain the underlying cause of this behavior?
Hello, I have a box application that runs somewhere in Kubernetes cluster. It needs to read a box file that belongs to a physical box user, The application onboarded with JWT authentication and box created a server account: AutomationUser@boxdevedition.com. I shared the file with this server account and it can see it when listing files. However when trying to get the file content or downloading the file I get 403 authorization error. The organization does not allow " App + Enterprise Access" configuration nor “Generate user token” access. seems strange that even when the file owner added the service user as a collaborator it still cannot read the content. Is there a way around this ?
I am trying to preview an uploaded document in Content Explorer but using RequireJS in my project. When I remove the RequireJS library the preview works fine moreover when I load RequireJS the preview shows below error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘GlobalWorkerOptions’) Can we preview an uploaded document with RequireJS loaded on the same page?
Does Content Explorer include any mechanisms to stop the uploading of files that are infected with viruses? Is there any indication of an error in Content Explorer when attempting to preview a file that contains a virus? Is it possible for Content Explorer to hide/remove the download choice for a file containing a virus, despite the download permission granted by the downscoped token used in Content Explorer?
Hi I’m currently developing an application for my research group that pulls our images from box and applies certain operations on those images to generate training data for our CV models. We want to make this application public through a repository, and we want users to be able to access our image data using JWT authentication (config file for authentication will be provided in the repository). However, we don’t want users to be able to write to the folders and change their image content. I thought of giving ReadOnly permissions, however, box developer console says write permissions are required to allow users to download the content. Below is the code that pulls the content of the image by img_id (image id). def download_image_from_box(self, img_id): """ Downloads image from Box storage """ # Get file and read image data into memory cache file = self.box_client.file(img_id) file_data = file.content() # Decode image src =
While searching on widget i am getting the following error, I have provided the following scopes using Java SDK while generating downscoped token. “base_explorer”, “item_preview”,“item_download”,“item_rename”,“item_delete”,“item_upload”. I don’t see any more scope that needs to be added to downscoped token for Content explorer widget’s search functionality.
