Data is available in reports but not via API

1. Data is available in reports but not via APIDespite being able to output data for events after December 13, 2024, using the BOX report feature, I am unable to retrieve the same data via the BOX API. The API consistently returns only events up to December 13, 2024. Could you help clarify why this is happening and how to resolve it?2. Scheduled executions do not save data after December 13When I set up scheduled executions of my script to fetch event data, no events after December 13, 2024, are saved in my system. Could you explain why the API is not retrieving or saving these events during automated runs, even though the data exists in the reports? // Function to fetch events from BOX API using the current stream_positionfunction fetchBoxEvents() { const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); const scriptProperties = PropertiesService.getScriptProperties(); const accessToken = scriptProperties.getProperty("BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN"); if (!accessToken) { Logger

"Box Sign request returns a 500 error."

I encountered a 500 error while using Postman to call the Box Sign API to create a sign request:Endpoint:https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requestsDetails:The same developer token successfully works for file uploads. The application is approved and authorized.Could you help identify the possible reasons for the issue? { "type": "error", "code": "internal_server_error", "status": 500, "message": "Internal Server Error", "help_url": "https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/", "request_id": "0301ec73ba5420dac2e91dc81cc5f2845"}

{"error"=>"invalid_client", "error_description"=>"The client credentials are invalid"} Answered

I use to be able to authenticate as the subject_type user on the client id app kox474mes4cugrj929i4kh5enokukmltThis is a free account and the app is authorized and enabled.However, now it seems that the subject_type is being required to be set to enterprise. The problem with this is that as the enterprise, I have to add the "Automationuser" to the folder I want the user to upload to. This is a problem because I have been shared several folders and it would be a large coordination effort to have everyone add the "Automationuser" as an uploader. And this would break for any new shares if the user wasn't added.Is there a way to still be able to upload as the user that has access to those folders? I tried using the As-User header, but then that returns the error like the folder doesn't exist.

How to integrate graphic files into latex files on Box

I am working on a talk in Latex and it needs some graphic files for illustration. The tex file and the png and jpeg files sit inside the same folder on Box and unfortunately the image files can never be found when trying to  compile the tex into pdf files on Texshop.(1) There seems to be some problem with Box seeing graphic files in the same folder as the tex file that uses them. I looked at the ‘file info’ details and I have permissions to read and write for all involved. The info file actually displays the correct graphic file that Texshop cannot access. Weird. All looks good, but inside Box compilations, the graphic files cannot be found, so the console of Texshop tells me.(2) I have another folder on Box with tex and graphic files and those can always be compiled together easily in Texshop. Their file infos do not look any different at all and they work together as designed.(3) I cannot see any way out to correct this Box incompatability mess up.  I tried to export the tex and grap

Can app users be assigned as task assignees when starting a pre-configured workflow?

Specifically, I need to understand:If an app user or service account starts a pre-configured workflow through the API (POST /workflows/{workflow_id}/start) Can they add another app user as a task assignee at the time of starting this workflow? I've checked the Box Developer Documentation but couldn't find specific information about this capability. Any documentation references or real-world experience would be helpful.Thank you in advance for your help!

Problem with using box-ui-elements and ContentPreview as a React component

Hi everyone. I’, relatively new in React and I’ve just started working with Box integration. I managed to use Box by referencing the versions available on Box's CDN (https://github.com/box/box-content-preview?tab=readme-ov-file#including-preview-as-a-library). But, I have the requirement to use it as a NPM package.

How to add and highlight signature box in signed document using code

I am trying to create a Box sign request and want to highlight the signature box in the document where the user needs to add their signature. In the Box Sign portal, there is an option to drag and drop the signature and other fields, which places the signature box at the desired position in the document. I want to replicate this functionality using code. However, when I tried adding the inputs attribute under signers, it didn’t work as expected.Below is my json request body.{  "email_message": "Hello! Please sign the document below",  "email_subject": "Sign Request from UserName",  "parent_folder": {    "id": "2895123232312",    "type": "folder"  },  "signers": [    {      "email": "<useremail>",      "role": "signer",     "order": 1,      "inputs": [        {          "type": "signature",          "x": 100,          "y": 150,          "page_index": 0,          "width": 150,          "height": 50        }      ]    }  ],  "source_files": [    {      "id": "1714359484288",      "t

Box API getting "session expired"

I am working on my first Box API calls. I am using Postman at the moment and was finally able to get the API to access a token to work and I have retrieved a token. I then take that token and send as authorization to the API to list the items in a folder. The Box application that was created for this purpose is a CCG application and I am passing the client ID and secret and the box subject type is enterprise.. When I call the API to get the folder items, it tells me “session expired” even though I had just retrieved the access token. What am I doing wrong?
