I am working on an application that requires the ability to retrieve the entire folder tree in a user’s Box repository. I am aware that Box’s API typically requires navigating the folder structure step by step. However, I wanted to check if there have been any updates or new features introduced in the Box API that may allow for more efficient retrieval of the folder tree. Is there a specific API endpoint or method that can help me achieve this ? Thank you

I am creating a Custom Portal ( Box Application ) using OAuth for authentication (NextAuth). The Box environment is configured with SSO via Azure. I’m seeking clarification if this is possible. I recall skimming through the developer site that this isn’t. I’m not able to find that reference.

Hello Box developer community, I hope you are all doing well. I have a query regarding the download of text representations for files, specifically for files that are quite large, for instance, around 5GB in size. I understand that Box provides the ability to download files using their API, and I’ve been successfully using it for smaller files. However, I’d like to know if there are any limitations or best practices when it comes to downloading the text representation of large files, especially when they are significantly larger, like the 5GB example. Specifically, I’m interested in knowing: Size Limitations: Are there any size limitations when it comes to downloading the text representation of a file? Is there a maximum file size that should be considered when requesting text content? API Rate Limit: Does Box have any rate limits or throttling in place for downloading large files? Are there any guidelines

Hi, We are using the open-source tool grouper for managing the groups in BOX. The grouper uses the Box SDK to query the users or groups, manage the groups, and manage the group membership.

I have a tiny Python utility that checks for the existence of Autocad .dwl files every 20 seconds in about a hundred folders on my computer. Several co-workers use the same app on their computers. The problem is the time lag between the creation of that file on one co-worker’s computer and its arrival at my computer (and those of the other guys too). One of them suggested I could use the Box API to maybe reduce the time lag. I’m hoping one of you might be willing to help me make the first steps if this is possible. Thanks.

Hi Team, I have some box folders on https://gehealthcare.box.com and I am trying to upload files on the same using python scripts which are executed via jenkins.

Hi there! Our app uses box-ui-elements and we want to start using the latest annotations API functionality with text highlight, drawing, mentioning and more. We already updated box-ui-elements to the latest version, but it didn’t give expected result, annotations were still not highlighted So I have a question: Does box-ui-elements already use the latest annotations API functionality or integration is still in progress? Thank you in advance!

This is the place to discuss the Box API Postman collections. Let us know if you found a bug, saw an inconsistency with the documentations or even have suggestions on how to improve the collection.

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 wi

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

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();
