Looking to get advice on how to use content explorer and uploader in salesforce experience cloud as i seen in jan roundtable

I am having some issues with an Apache Groovy script. When users run this script it sometimes returns this error - it fails at the line def subFolder = parentFolder.createFolder(subFolderName).getResource() BoxAPIResponseException: The API returned an error code [404 | m75vwdhfthirxg8m.0155c36fdf223f6693c60b71343f0bfc6] not_found - Not Found Exception chain: ScriptException: com.box.sdk.BoxAPIResponseException: The API returned an error code [404 | m75vwdhfthirxg8m.0155c36fdf223f6693c60b71343f0bfc6] not_found - Not Found …caused by: BoxAPIResponseException: The API returned an error code [404 | m75vwdhfthirxg8m.0155c36fdf223f6693c60b71343f0bfc6] not_found - Not Found Some users have found clearing their cache allows them to then run this script The box folder has AutomationUser_1282163_2jhq1tTUma@boxdevedition.com as an Editor The file names are unique names and do not conta

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();

We are referring the source code present in the following link: github.com box/box-java-sdk/blob/v4.4.0/doc/files.md#download-a-file Files ===== File objects represent individual files in Box. They can be used to download a file's contents, upload new versions, and perform other common file operations (move, copy, delete, etc.). <!-- START doctoc generated TOC please keep comment here to allow auto update --> <!-- DON'T EDIT THIS SECTION, INSTEAD RE-RUN

I am using the following references, href="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/16.0.0/en-US/explorer.css src="

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}. Downlo

I need to upload file into box without manual interaction using c#.net. As per the SDK, I need to pass access token & refresh token. How can I get Access token & refresh token from C#.net using client id & client secret without manual interaction. Thanks.

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?

trying to request token from c#.net using grant type: authorization_code, I’m getting the error “The grant type is unauthorized for this client_id” I don’t know where to set the redirect url, I have set CORS Domains as http://0.0.0.0 Add information about the configuration settings of your app. : Custom Authentication Method : OAuth 2.0 with JSON Web Tokens (Server Authentication) (pre populated.) Please help. Thanks. Prasanna.

[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

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 ?

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 @matt.riley When I use the “metadata-query” and specify a folder Id(parent folder), does it show results for all files under that folder and other subfolders or only under the parent folder ? On the same note, I used the command on 1 folder that has 1 file and got the following error box metadata-query enterprise_287697.Testing --219563937307 Unexpected API Response [400 Bad Request | 037667ddf3edfef86c49bc5058f7841c1.037667ddf3edfef86c49bc5058f7841c1] too_many_instances - Too many instances, and no supporting index available

The generate downscoped token is valid for almost one hour. Let’s say i want to invalidate token after 20 minutes(Logout usecase). I am getting the following error, The API returned an error code {“error”:“invalid_request”,“error_description”:“The client is invalid”} The following specified code is not working. box-java-sdk/doc/authentication.md at main · box/box-java-sdk · GitHub Is there any other way, we can achieve this functionality ?

I have a custom Box App that is set up App Token (Server Authentication). This type of config creates a service account and gives us an access token. I’ve had no problem using the Box API in the past with this token as long as the associated service account is given access to the appropriate folers. However, calls to the Box SIGN parts of the API return the following: { “type”: “error”, “code”: “insufficient_scope”, “status”: 403, “message”: “The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token.”, “help_url”: “http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors”, “request_id”: “0aa1e51ed7348b0df97959af0e579f7e6” } Our admin has granted Box Sign access to this service account and I even re-authorized the app just in case. But I’m still getting this permission error. Are service accounts allowed to use Box Sign API? Keep in mind this uses a st
