    Hi Joe, 

    Are you still having the authorization error? An admin in your enterprise's Box environment needs to follow these directions to authorize the app. This is not something that is automated, but instead, it is a security measure for admins to know what folks have apps running in their instance. 

    The token issue may be resolved by authorizing the application. If not, make sure to follow these directions on how to use a client credentials grant. 

    Thanks, 

    Alex, Box Developer Advocate
