Download only one latest file in a box folder

Hi Nitesh, 

In order to use the download file endpoint, you would need to know the file id. You can use the search endpoint to search for files in a particular folder based on the updated date. The exact functionality you are looking for doesn't exist, but you can do the above to achieve the same results.  

Thanks,

Thanks @Alex for your response. I am trying to generate the access token to use this API call but it's giving me error.

$ curl -i -X POST "https://app.box.com/oauth2/token" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
> -d "client_id=tylxxxxxxung57" \
> -d "client_secret=yaSGxxxxxxmvxa" \
> -d "code=J30xxxxxJz" \
> -d "grant_type=authorization_code"

Not sure what's wrong here..! Can you please advise me on this?

Thanks,

Ok I was able to fix this but now struggling with downloading the latest file from the folder as download API needs the <file id> and it will change everytime when the new files are pushed to Box.

And I need to do it all via Ansible only.
