Hii
i'm using this call to get the lock status of a file::

curl -X GET 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files//906429515962?fields=lock,name'  -H 'Authorization: Bearer redacted'

I get that:

{|id|:"906429515962", etag:"0", type:"file", lock:missing value, |name|:"Photo.png"}

 

which is good for me

 

I  tried the files endpoint and upload endpoints

and got no valid results

 

What is the syntax?

Thanks

BTW locking of the app file in contents folder seems impossible (upgrade is mentionned)  why?
