Hi there,

The code parameter is used with standard OAuth 2 applications. You redirect the user to log in to Box and confirm your application permissions, then they are redirected back to your application. In the query string parameters of that redirect will be the code parameter. 

With that said, you only need to worry about that with standard OAuth 2 apps. You can see that code parameter is use within this guide.

If you're using a JWT application without that redirect, you can just follow this guide instead.
