Is it possible to export a download link("direct link") for each file in a Box folder through some API(not by manual operation on a browser)?


We are planning to store a large number(tens of thousands) of images in a Box folder and reference them in web pages by their download links.


Maybe the problem reported in the following link is the same thing as ours, but I am not sure if "(mapped) shared link" is "direct link" or not.

As shown on the get file information page, the response includes a download link field in the shared link object... so yes you could do this via api... but not all at one time.
