    Hi  , I think this might work for you:

     

    Use this API to get the item for a shared link:

    https://developer.box.com/reference/get-shared-items

     

    This should return a folder object with the first X items in the folder.

    I'm not getting any items from that folder when call get-shared-items:

    {
      "type": "folder",
      "id": {id},
      "sequence_id": "0",
      "etag": "0",

            "etag": null,
            "name": "All Files"
          },
          {
            "type": "folder",
            "id": {id},
            "sequence_id": "2",
            "etag": "2",
            "name": "Clients"
          },
          {
            "type": "folder",
            "id": [id},
            "sequence_id": "0",
            "etag": "0",
            "name": "name"
          },
          {
            "type": "folder",
            "id": {id},
            "sequence_id": "0",
            "etag": "0",

      },

      },
      "modified_by": {
        "type": "user",
        "id": {id},
        "name": "name",
        "login": "login"
      },

      },

        "vanity_name": "name",
        "effective_access": "open",
        "effective_permission": "can_download",
        "is_password_enabled": false,
        "unshared_at": null,
        "download_count": 0,
        "preview_count": 0,
        "access": "open",
        "permissions": {
          "can_preview": true,
          "can_download": true
        }
      },
      "folder_upload_email": null,
      "parent": {
        "type": "folder",
        "id": {},
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "etag": "0",
        "name": "name"
      },
      "item_status": "active"
    }

     

    Even if I call get-folders-id I'm not getting any share link for the files: 

    "item_collection": {
        "total_count": 6,
        "entries": [
          {
            "type": "file",
            "id": {id},
            "file_version": {
              "type": "file_version",
              "id": {id},
              "sha1": {sha1}
            },
            "sequence_id": "0",
            "etag": "0",
            "sha1": {sha1},
            "name": "File name"
          },

     my bad, I missed a step.

     

    Step 1: convert a shared link to an item (file or folder)

    curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '
         -H "BoxApi: shared_link=https://c2c.app.box.com/s/v2vpg8ct70..."

    In your case, this will return a folder object with an ID.

    {
      "type": "folder",
      "id": "12345",
      "sequence_id": "0",
      ....
    }

    Step 2: Use the folder ID to list the items in the folder

    curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/12345/items \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '
         -H "BoxApi: shared_link=https://c2c.app.box.com/s/v2vpg8ct70..."

    Note that we use the same BoxApi header here as we did in the previous API.

     

    This will return the same folder object but with a list of items in the item_collection attribute.

     

    Step 3: Keep traversing the tree

     

    You can keep traversing the tree here for every item in the folder. So in your case, if you want to access a file with file ID 23456, you'd use:

     

    curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/files/23456 \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '
         -H "BoxApi: shared_link=https://c2c.app.box.com/s/v2vpg8ct70..."

     

    Step 4: Download the file

     

    Finally, to download the file, simply call the endpoint to download the content.

     

    curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/files/23456/content \
         -H 'Authorization: Bearer '
         -H "BoxApi: shared_link=https://c2c.app.box.com/s/v2vpg8ct70..."
