How to add a collaborator my API in a link from box?

Question

Hello everybody, I am trying to read links from box with my API but when I read the links I get an answer with the error 404 because the API cannot read the links because the token does not have authorization for read some links, so I talked with a person and he recommended me add my API as colaborator in the links. My question is anybody knows how can I add my app as colaborator?

It sounds like you're using a JWT app. You will want to make a call to get current user endpoint. This will return the system generated service account email address (AutomationUser)/user id. You can go into the UI and add the email address as a collaborator on the content. Alternatively you will need to use a token associated with someone who owns the content or has a high enough collaboration level to invite collaborators and use the add the collaboration endpoint.
