Help! How do you use cURL to download a file with a password?

If cURL is not the best method, I am open to other options.

I just need a way to use Terminal on a Mac to download a file on Box that has a password. 

Did you find solution for that?

I have not found a way to make it work, 

Hi Jason,

there is a get shared item call which lets you specify the password:

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items?fields=type,id
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
-H "BoxApi: shared_link=SHARED_LINK_URL&shared_link_password=PASSWORD"

You can find the full documentation here:

https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-a-shared-item

Let me know if this worked for you.

Thanks

Johannes

I get this error message:

    `{"type":"error","status":404,"code":"not_found","help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Not Found","request_id":"qdmntzfq332zubej"}`

Has anyone ever successfully downloaded a file from box? How did you do it? Thanks!

There is a solution here:

How do you get that token without manually firing up a browser and logging into box? I'd like to be able to automate the whole thing.

You need to create an auth token using the developer panel.

You should be able to find that link lower left when you are logged into your box account.

I'm just figuring this out myself, and have not yet succeeded at using the API.
