Shared link to a specific version

Hello ,

shared links are tight to the document, not to versions, so when you create a shared link it is used across all the new versions being generated.

If you create a document V1 and a shared link pointing to it, the user that has that link will access to the released version not to the one it was generated.

Thanks

Hi,   

Thanks for the quick reply! It makes sense,  but in that case, do you know if there is a way to get a static link for each version?

I need to support versioning in my app, and I now that I could get a download link for a specific version by making an API call to the Download endpoint.The problem with this is that it's non-static so I have to make a call every time I want to download, but I would be much simpler if I could store a link for each version. Do you know a way to do this?

Hello ,

I was looking at all the information available on the reference docs but I did not find anything useful on that sense. I would risk to say that there is no support for that. At least I only saw that it is possible to download different versions but links are linked 

I have done tests with the following URLs:

http://api.box.com/2.0/files/${"DOCUMENT"}?fields=expiring_embed_link&version=${"DOCUMENT_VERSION"}

http://api.box.com/2.0/files/${"DOCUMENT"}?fields=shared_link&version=${"DOCUMENT_VERSION"}

With no luck. So... I guess it is not possible. I could download it as you have done probably but nothing else.

Sorry. I can not help further. Hope somebody from BOX side can confirm my guess that this is not offered at the moment.

Thanks
