Reporting on version history?

Hello!  Is it possible for me in the admin console to pull a report on all of my documents and how many versions exist? I would love to just see a document name and how many versions exist. I’m trying to get a better understanding of what documents are most leveraged and edited in my organization. Thank you!

Azure App Service vs Azure Function for Box API

Hi Team,I am working on creating Box Wrapper Service that will be using Box SDK for various tasks like Create Folder, Assign permissions, memberships, etc. We are planning to use Box File Request for Upload and Box Preview(in modal popup) to Preview and Download files.I need deployment suggestion on whether to keep the Box wrapper service as Azure App Service vs Azure Function. What are the pros and cons on one vs other? What should be the conclusion.

asked in Box Sign API
The user cannot configure the sign request created by the API

Hello,I am using the create sign request API with the following body to create a sign request:{"external_id": "id","parent_folder": { "id": "1234", "type": "folder" },"signers": [     { "role": "signer", "email": "email@email.com" },     { "role": "signer", "email": "email2@email.com" },    { "role": "final_copy_reader", "email": "email2@email.com" }],"source_files": [ { "id": "12233", "type": "file" }, { "id": "54321", "type": "file" } ],“is_document_preparation_needed”: true} The sign request successfully achieves the “Created” state. However, the prepare SR URL gives a 404 to the actual user, who is supposed to configure the SR before sending it out. I suspect this is happening because the service account is the actual owner of the SR. My question is, how can I create an SR via API but assign an actual person as its owner? Thank you.

Web App failing to retrieve all folders in Box directory when using API

We are using Box to integrate file retrieval for clients. When searching for these files we are only provided with a folder name. We are using the api.box.com/2.0/folders/ endpoint passing in the parent folder Id. We are iterating over several pages to find the target folder name. When deployed to a production environment, we are noticing that we are unable to find the Folder through API. When testing locally we find the folder every time.We are investigating why this could happen and were hoping to get some insight from Box Support to see how things are moving on your end. Thank you

How to deprovision user with Box Sdk Gen?

I’m current working on a .NET project to deprovision or remove access of a user from all the enterprise’s box contents. I did some research and learn that the steps involved 1. move the toBeDeletedUser’s ’ contents to a service account, 2. delete the user. I was looking into how to move the toBeDeletedUser’s content to a different user but seems like the documentation and code samples are all using Box.Core.V2. Has anyone been able to do so using Box.Sdk.Gen? I would greatly appreciate any advice.

JWTAuth error. Not able to find the Folder

I configured a raspberry pi 4 to be a cellular modem using the SixFab cellular modem kit The kit includes a SixFabBase Hat, LTE modem, antennas and a Sixfab core. I am using a in house sim card. The pi runs a python code to find the RSSI, RSRQ & SINR values every 5 minutes using Cron. Then another code to upload the text file to box every day. The issue I am facing here is that is that the JWTAuth is not working for me. Apparently, it doesn’t recognize my folder. It says it is it uploading the files to the root folder but I don’t see the file there as well. The codes are given below.Modem Signal Loggerimport subprocessimport timefrom datetime import datetimedef get_modem_signal_info(): try: # Run the AT command using atcom and capture the output result = subprocess.run(['/home/genwave/.local/bin/atcom', '-p', '/dev/ttyUSB2', 'AT+QENG="servingcell"'], capture_output=True, text=True) output = result.stdout.strip() return o

Hi, I’m looking for a way to get all shared links in an enterprise using the API. All the answers I found on this topic are 1+ year old, and just wanted to confirm, is there still no ability to get all shared links in an enterprise in the Box API?And if so, could I be provided a bit more context on this workaround that I saw on an old thread:  “If you're using the SDK, you could always crawl through the entire set of users in the enterprise and check every file or folder they own for a shared link”How would we crawl the folder of another user, when the root folder just has id 0? And what kind of permissions would this require?

Client Credentials Grant behavior changed, breaking my sandbox app

I put Box Sign projects on hold for a year in hopes box.com would fix various web UI bugs insigning documents.Sadly, I still see an unacceptable overstrike and now even multiple font sizes on that overstrike, etc. But now that I’ve come back, I find that I can no longer get CCG to work with the User ID set inthe app.  ( CCGAuth() in Python SDK. )  The initial authorization works when using Enterprise IDBUT that is not what I want because when using the Enterprise ID, it never could access mytemplates--They were only accessible when using the user id.  (the User ID in the app config.)( It was previously able to access them when using the “user” argument to CCGAuth(). )I changed nothing.  It stopped working.  Yes it was still authorized then reauthorized for good measure.Is this a bug or a feature?  And is there a way to get the old behavior?  Other than this:Sadly I had to switch back to regular OAuth2 using the annoying 1 hour temporary dev tokenswhere it still will access the template

How to search for files that 'do not' have a metadata template assigned

I’m using cURL to access the API.  I’ve successfully been able to search for a file by passing the template name and querying the value.  What I’m looking to do is structure the query as such that I can find a list of files that don’t have any metadata assigned to them. For this application, every file needs this particular template assigned to them, and a file without it is a good indicator that it needs to be processed.

Box UI content uploader - partially successfull upload don't trigger onComplete event

Hi all,We're having an issue with content uploader. In case when not all files were upladed successfully "onComplete" event is not triggered. I found in the source code that there is a "isPartialUploadEnabled" property which allows "onComplete" to be triggered in such cases.This property is not documented in the docs nor in content-uploader readme when describing properties , but it's present in the exported interfaceMy question is can we use and set this option when calling uploader.show() or this is a subject to change and it’s not intended to be used when instantiating uploader instance ?

ITEM_CREATE and ITEM_UPDATE event types not working with EnterpriseEventsRequest

I’m using the following call to retrieve events from Box. EnterpriseEventsRequest request = new EnterpriseEventsRequest().types(eventTypes).limit(10).after(null).before(null) eventTypes is an array of BoxEvent.EventType.  For all other events, DOWNLOAD, LOGIN, etc. the call is correctly returning only event types that match.  When I use ITEM_CREATE or ITEM_UPDATE, the filter is basically getting ignored and it’s returning random events.  I’m using the 4.11.1 version.  Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Shared folder

Hello, we have a vendor who uploads new files daily into a shared folder. Its public so everyone can see it, but it requires you to download manually to access the folders. I would like to download the files daily and send them into another system for processsing. I tried to see the shared folder using zapier but it does not see it. Any suggestions on how to automate this process?
