I'm Trying to create metadata on file using cUrl script like below but getting the error: 400 bad request.

 

curl -f -H "Authorization: Bearer HLLjqczWmFB8aWt35gjg3ECaSQpgMLlS" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/files/***number removed for privacy***57/metadata/enterprise_1749521/template

 

Just FYI, I have created the "template" of template already.

Any idea on this?

 

thanks

    Good afternoon ,

     

    if you look the documentation the URL would be something like:

     

    curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/***number removed for privacy***1/metadata/enterprise/marketingCollateral \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "audience1": "internal", "documentType": "Q1 plans", "competitiveDocument": "no", "status": "active", "author": "Jones", "currentState": "proposal"}' \
-X POST

     

    In your case, there is no body (-d part) and you have a -f that seems more related to file actions like update a document.

     

    Look at https://developer.box.com/reference#create-metadata to see exactly what it is needed.
