In the following Box guide regarding App token auth, it is mentioned that only handful of APIs are supported if we use this auth mechanism : Supported Endpoints - Box Developer Documentation

I wonder why it is not supporting all APIs ?

If I want to crawl through all enterprise data of all managed users/groups in that enterprise and if I am using App token auth mechanism(assuming I'm admin) then would it mean that I won't be able to crawl through all contents of all users because the APIs mentioned on the link won't help me achieve that.

What would be the preferred auth method I should use in this case ?

Hello, 

I would use our JWT authentication option for this. It creates a service account, and you can make as-user calls for anyone else who owns content. 

Hope this helps,
