What is the suggested way of requesting the authorization code via https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize if you're not building a web application, but reather an intergration service that needs to step through the authorization request and token request phases in coded fashion?

 

Thanks for any tips!

Just to clarify, will your service be accessing data from a Managed User's account or an App User's account?

I have the same question.  I have a headless application that will be running as a Windows service to scan the filesystem for new documents and upload them to Box automatically.

 

In my case, the data will be access from a Managed User's account.
