Integrations Types

Currently, Box provides the Popup integration type.

Popup Integrations

In a popup integration, Box opens a panel and loads the application's callback URL configured for the integration. The application can display its own user interface for the integration in the popup.

The integration receives a short-lived authorization code with this request, which can be used to connect to the Box APIs, exchange the code for an Access Token, and then use that to make API calls to Box.

Popup panels use HTML <iframe> tags to display the embedded content. To protect the security of Box's content, callback URLs should use SSL, and the response from the callback URL should include an X-Frame-Options header set to a random string value.
