Issue with zip API endpoints

Hello, 

Are you using one of our SDKs? If possible, it would help if I could see some of the code you are running. 

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

I'm not using an SDK - at this point I'm just running calls via curl, as described in the API docs.

Request access token:

curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token" \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "client_id=<client_id>" \
-d "client_secret=<client_secret>" \
-d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
-d "box_subject_type=enterprise" \
-d "box_subject_id=<box_subject_id>"

Create zip download:

curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" \
-d '{
"download_file_name": "<file_name>",
"items": [
{
"type": "folder",
"id": "<folder_id>"
}
]
}
'

Download zip archive:

curl -i -X GET "https://dl.boxcloud.com/2.0/zip_downloads/<download_url>"

^This is the point where I'm running into the first issue. When I run this it gives me a 200 response but nothing seemingly downloads.

Then I look at the zip download status:

curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/zip_downloads/<download_url>" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>"

The response indicates zero total files/folders. I don't know how super useful this is with me scrubbing identifiers, but this is the workflow I used.

Thanks,

Jacob
