# Allow domain access
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/allowing-domain-access



To use the Box APIs it is important that your application and users have access
to the following domains, where needed.

## File preview

To enable file preview, your application might need to load javascript file from
the Box content delivery network (CDN). This file is loaded from the following
domains.

* `api.box.com`
* `boxcdn.net`
* `boxcloud.com`
* `dl2.boxcloud.com` to `dl20.boxcloud.com`

## File downloads

The following API domains are used to download files via the Box API.

* `api.box.com` to initially request a file to download
* `dl.boxcloud.com` to actually download files for authenticated users
* `public.boxcloud.com` to actually download files for unauthenticated users

<Warning>
  Ensuring access to these domains is only a first step to downloading a file.
  To download a file the users need to have proper access permissions and need
  to be fully authenticated where needed.
</Warning>

## File uploads

The following API domains are used to upload files via the Box API.

* `api.box.com` to start a file upload
* `upload.app.box.com` and `upload.box.com` to upload the file to Box

# API versioning strategy
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/api-versioning-strategy



Box provides versioning capabilities for selected API endpoints. The version control system guarantees seamless functioning of existing endpoint versions, even if Box introduces new ones.

API versioning empowers Box to continually enhance its platform, while also offering third-party developers a reliable avenue for feature updates and deprecations.

<Tip>
  To stay informed about the forthcoming API modifications, monitor the <Link href="/changelog">Changelog</Link> and maintain a current email address in the Developer Console's App Info section.
</Tip>

<Note>
  In 2024, Box introduced year-based API versioning.

  All endpoints available at the end of 2024 were assigned the version `2024.0`.

  **No action is required for API users to continue using Box APIs.**

  To make version-aware API calls, include the `box-version` header with the value `2024.0` in your requests.
</Note>

## How Box API versioning works

<Note>
  Box API supports versioning in `header`. To determine which version to use, look at the API reference and included sample requests.
</Note>

### Versioning in `header`

Box API processes the `box-version` header which should contain a valid version name. For example, when a client wants
to get a list of all sign requests using version `2025.0`, the request should look like this:

```sh theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
     --header 'box-version: 2025.0' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer …
```

If the provided version is correct and supported by the endpoint, a response is sent to the client.
If the endpoint is available in multiple versions, the response will include the `box-version` header,
which indicates the version used to handle the request.
Endpoints introduced after 2024 may return a `400` error code if the version is incorrect.
More information about versioning errors can be found <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/versioning-errors">here</Link>.

If your request doesn't include a version, the API defaults to the initial Box API version - `2024.0` - the version of endpoints available before
year-based versioning was introduced. However, relying on this behavior is not recommended when adopting deprecated
changes. To ensure consistency, always specify the API version, with each request. By making your application
version-aware, you anchor it to a specific set of features, ensuring consistent behavior throughout the supported
timeframe.

## Release schedule and naming convention

Box can introduce a new breaking change to certain endpoints **once per year**, which results in a new API version.
Introducing a new version of the Sign Request endpoint means that **all paths and HTTP methods** of an endpoint will support it.

For example, if Sign Request endpoints receive a new version it will apply to all endpoints listed in the table:

| Method | Request URL                                        | Description                              |
| ------ | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| GET    | `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/:id`        | Retrieves specific sign request details. |
| GET    | `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/`           | Retrieves all sign requests.             |
| POST   | `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/`           | Creates new sign requests.               |
| POST   | `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/:id/resend` | Sends a specific sign request again.     |
| POST   | `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/:id/cancel` | Cancels a specific sign request.         |

### Naming convention

New API versions are labeled according to the calendar year of their release.

**Example**: If a new version of the Sign Requests endpoint is released in 2025, it will be named `2025.0`.

Box can issue a new breaking change to API endpoints **once** per year, reserving the right to release an additional breaking change to address security or privacy concerns. In such cases, the new version will be incremented by one in the suffix.

**Example**: If security issues need addressing in the previously released version `2025.0` of Sign Requests, the new version will be labeled `2025.1`.

Each stable version is supported for a minimum of 12 months. This means that when a new version is released, the previous version becomes deprecated and will be available for use, but no new features will be added.
It also means, that a new version cannot be released sooner than every 12 months.

We strongly recommend updating your apps to make requests to the latest stable API version. However, if your app uses a stable version that is no longer supported, then you will get a response with an HTTP error code `400 - Bad Request`. For details, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/versioning-errors">Versioning Errors</Link>.

### Endpoint versioning indication

To keep you informed about the current API state, and improve the readability of the versioned API reference, the affected endpoints are marked with a pill based on the `x-stability-level` tag or `deprecated` attribute.

<Frame>
  <img alt="An example of a beta pill used for API reference endpoints" />
</Frame>

| Schema element                                            | Pill name      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `x-stability-level: beta`                                 | Beta           | Endpoints marked with **beta**, are offered subject to Box’s Main Beta Agreement, meaning the available capabilities may change at any time. When the beta endpoint becomes stable, the **beta** indication is removed. |
| `x-stability-level: stable` or no `x-stability-level` tag | Latest version | **Latest version** marks the most recent stable API version of an endpoint.                                                                                                                                             |
| `deprecated: true`                                        | Deprecated     | An endpoint is deprecated, which means it is still available for use, but no new features are added. Such an endpoint is annotated with the `deprecated` attribute set to `true`.                                       |

## Versioning errors

When using versioned API actions such as calling an incorrect API version in header or a deprecated version can lead to errors.

For details on possible errors, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/versioning-errors">versioning errors</Link>.

## How Box SDK versioning works

The versioning strategy applies only to [generated SDKs](/sdks-and-tools/#next-generation-sdks).

Box SDKs support the **All Versions In** SDK approach.
This means that every release of SDK provides access to all endpoints in any version which is currently live. All generated SDKs use manager's approach - they group all endpoints with the same domain in one manager.

For example `FolderManager` contains methods to: `create_folder`, `get_folder_by_id`, `update_folder_by_id`, `delete_folder_by_id`, `get_folder_items` and `copy_folder`. This division is done based on the value of `x-box-tag` field, which is assigned to each method in Public API Service specification. It mostly corresponds to the root of the endpoint URL, but not necessarily. For example: `FolderManager` contains methods with `https://api.box.com/2.0/folders` root URL, but the same base URL is also used in some methods of `SharedLinkFoldersManager`.
References to all managers are stored under one Box Client object.

See an example of the endpoint's lifecycle:

1. Initial state (only one version is available).

   ```js theme={null}
   class FilesManager {
       async updateFileById(
           fileId: string,
           requestBody: UpdateFileByIdRequestBody,
           queryParams: UpdateFileByIdQueryParams,
           headers: UpdateFileByIdHeaders
       ): Promise < FileFull > {}
   }
   ```

2. A new `v2025_0` version of the endpoint is introduced (previous version is deprecated).

   The SDK introduces a new method for each new version of an endpoint. These methods are stored in the same manager as the old ones, but their names and corresponding classes are suffixed with the version number. The old method is deprecated with a notice indicating the minimal maintenance date – this will be the date when the endpoint will be considered for end-of-life status.

   ```js theme={null}
   class FilesManager {
       /**
        * @deprecated This endpoint will be EOL'ed after 05-2026.
           */
       async updateFileById(
           fileId: string,
           requestBody: UpdateFileByIdRequestBody,
           queryParams: UpdateFileByIdQueryParams,
           headers: UpdateFileByIdHeaders
       ): Promise<FileFull> {}

       async updateFileById_2025_0(
           fileId: string,
           requestBody: UpdateFileByIdRequestBody_2025_0,
           queryParams: UpdateFileByIdQueryParams_2025_0,
           headers: UpdateFileByIdHeaders_2025_0
       ): Promise<FileFull_2025_0> {}
   }
   ```

3. The API endpoint is marked as End-of-Life (EOL)

   The SDK releases a breaking change release with removed end-of-life (EOL) endpoints. Ideally, we should group the end-of-life dates for all endpoints into one date per quarter to avoid releasing numerous new major versions of SDKs.

   ```js theme={null}
   class FilesManager {
       async updateFileById_2025_0(
           fileId: string,
           requestBody: UpdateFileByIdRequestBody_2025_0,
           queryParams: UpdateFileByIdQueryParams_2025_0,
           headers: UpdateFileByIdHeaders_2025_0
       ): Promise < FileFull_2025_0 > {}
   }
   ```

## Breaking vs non-breaking changes

Breaking changes in the Box API occur within versioned releases, typically accompanied by a new major API version. Minor adjustments, which do not disrupt existing functionality, can be integrated into an existing API version. The following table lists both breaking and non-breaking changes.

| API Change                                                                                                   | Breaking change |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------- |
| New endpoints                                                                                                | No              |
| New [read-only](https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/data-types/) or optional fields in request | No              |
| New required fields in request                                                                               | Yes             |
| New string constant in request                                                                               | Yes             |
| Deprecation                                                                                                  | No              |

| More restrictive change to field validations                                                                 | Yes             |
| Less restrictive change to field validations                                                                 | No              |
| Changing HTTP status code returned by an operation                                                           | Yes             |
| Removing a declared property                                                                                 | Yes             |

| Adding a required request header                                                                             | Yes             |
| Adding more error codes                                                                                      | No              |

<Tip>
  The [oasdiff](https://github.com/Tufin/oasdiff) tool allows detecting most of the possible breaking changes.
</Tip>

## Forward compatibility of API responses

Box may add new, optional, or read-only fields to API responses at any time without a version bump. These changes are considered non-breaking and require no advance notification.

Client applications must be implemented to tolerate additional JSON fields and ignore fields they do not recognize. Strict response schema validation or deserialization that rejects unknown fields is discouraged, as it may cause integrations to break when Box introduces new fields.

To ensure long-term stability:

* Integrate only the documented fields your application explicitly requires
* Do not assume API responses will exactly match a fixed schema
* Configure JSON parsing libraries to ignore unmapped or unexpected properties

## AI agent configuration versioning

<Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents">AI agent</Link> versioning gives the developers more control over model version management and ensures consistent responses. For details, see <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-versioning">AI agent configuration versioning guide</Link>.

## Support policy and deprecation information

When new versions of the Box APIs and Box SDKs are released, earlier versions will be retired. Box marks a version as `deprecated` at least 24 months before retiring it. In other words, a deprecated version cannot become end-of-life
sooner than after 24 months.
Similarly, for individual APIs that are generally available (GA), Box declares an API as `deprecated` at least 24 months in advance of removing it from the GA version.

When we increment the major version of the API (for example, from `2025.0` to `2026.0`), we're announcing that the current version (in this example, `2025.0`) is immediately deprecated and we'll no longer support it 24 months after the announcement. We might make exceptions to this policy for service security or health reliability issues.

When an API is marked as deprecated, we strongly recommend that you migrate to the latest version as soon as possible. In some cases, we'll announce that new applications will have to start using the new APIs a short time after the original APIs are deprecated.

When customer calls deprecated API endpoint, the response will contain a header:

```sh theme={null}
Deprecation: date="Fri, 11 Nov 2026 23:59:59 GMT"
Box-API-Deprecated-Reason: /reference/deprecated
```

The date tells clients when this version was marked as deprecated.

## Versioning considerations

When building your request, consider the following:

* Endpoints in version `2024.0` can be called without specifying the version in the `box-version` header. If no version is specified and the `2024.0` version of the called endpoint does not exist, the response will return an HTTP error code `400 - Bad Request`.
* If the `box-version` version header is specified but the requested version does not exist, the response will return an HTTP error code `400 - Bad Request`.

For details, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/versioning-errors">versioning errors</Link>.

When Box deprecates a resource or a property of a resource in the API, the change is communicated in one or more of the following ways:

* Calls that include the deprecated behavior return the response header `Box-API-Deprecated-Reason` and a link to get more information:

  ```sh theme={null}
  box-version: 2025.0
  Deprecation: version="version", date="date"
  Box-API-Deprecated-Reason: /reference/deprecated
  ```

* A deprecation announcement is posted in the developer changelog.

* The API reference is updated to identify the affected resource and any action you need to take. Affected endpoints are marked with **deprecated** pill.

* If there is an imminent backwards-incompatible change that affects your app, then the contact email for your app might be contacted about the deprecation.

# Ensure consistency with headers
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/ensure-consistency



Some Box APIs support headers used to ensure consistency between your
application and Box.

## `etag`, `if-match`, and `if-none-match`

Many of the file system items (files or folders) that can be requested via the
API return an `etag` value for the item.

For example, a file resource returns an `etag` in the JSON response.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": 12345,
  "etag": 1,
  "type": "file",
  "sequence_id": 3,
  "name": "Contract.pdf",
  ...
}
```

This `etag` can be used as the value of a `if-match` or `if-none-match`
header to either ensure a resource hasn't changed since the `etag` value was
received, or to prevent unnecessary downloads for items that haven't changed.

For example, to fetch the same file only if it has changed, pass in the `etag`
value in a `if-none-match` header.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -H "if-none-match: 1"
```

This API call would result in an empty response if the file had not changed.

## Ensure consistent changes

The `if-match` header allows your application to ensure that no changes are
made to items when another application or a user has made changes to the item
since your application last inspected it. This helps ensure that
changes aren't lost when two applications or users are changing items at the
same time.

The following endpoints support this header.

| `if-match` capable endpoints                                                   |                                 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
| <Link href="/reference/post-files-id-content">`POST /files/:id/content`</Link> | Upload a new file version       |
| <Link href="/reference/put-files-id">`PUT /files/:id`</Link>                   | Update a file's information     |
| <Link href="/reference/delete-files-id">`DELETE /files/:id`</Link>             | Delete a file                   |
| <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id">`PUT /folders/:id`</Link>               | Update a folder's information   |
| <Link href="/reference/delete-folders-id">`DELETE /folders/:id`</Link>         | Delete a folder                 |
| <Link href="/reference/put-web-links-id">`PUT /web_links/:id`</Link>           | Update a web link's information |
| <Link href="/reference/delete-web-links-id">`DELETE /web_links/:id`</Link>     | Delete a web link               |

The response of these APIs calls depends on the existence of the item,
and whether the `etag` value matches the most recent version.

| Item found? | Etag match? | HTTP status |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Yes         | Yes         | 200         |
| Yes         | No          | 412         |
| No          | Yes         | 412         |
| No          | No          | 404         |

<Warning>
  **Moving items**

  The `if-match` header cannot be used to prevent moving of files, folders,
  or web links. Instead, Box always ensures that the latest item is moved to
  the new location.
</Warning>

## Prevent unnecessary request downloads

The `if-none-match` header allows your application to ensure that no information
is downloaded for items that have not changed since your application last
inspected it. This helps ensure no unnecessary information is downloaded,
speeding up your application and saving on bandwidth.

| `if-none-match` capable endpoints                                    |                                 |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link>         | Get a file's information        |

| <Link href="/reference/get-web-links-id">`GET /web_links/:id`</Link> | Get a web link's information    |
| <Link href="/reference/get-shared-items">`GET /shared_items`</Link>  | Get a shared item's information |

The response of these APIs calls depends on the existence of the item,
and whether the `etag` value matches the most recent version.

| Item found? | Etag match? | HTTP Status |
| ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Yes         | Yes         | 304         |
| Yes         | No          | 200         |

# Pagination overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/pagination/index



The Box API supports two ways to paginate collections. The most common way to
paginate is through offset-based pagination which is often used where the list
of items is of a fixed, predetermined length.

In some cases an API endpoint supports marker-based pagination, either as an
alternative to offset-based pagination or as a full replacement. Marker-based
pagination is often used in cases where the length of the total set of items is
either changing frequently, or where the total length might not be known
upfront.


# Marker-based Pagination
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/pagination/marker-based



APIs that use marker-based paging use the `marker` and `limit` query parameters
to paginate through items in a collection.

Marker-based pagination is often used in cases where the length of the total set
of items is either changing frequently, or where the total length might not be
known upfront.

## Paging

To fetch the first page of entries in a collection the API needs to be called
either without the `marker` parameter, or with the `marker` set to `0`. The
`limit` parameter is optional.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?limit=100&usemarker=true&marker= \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

<Note>
  APIs that support both offset-based pagination and marker-based pagination
  require the `usemarker` query parameter to be set to `true` to ensure
  marker-based pagination is used.
</Note>

To fetch the next page of entries the API needs to be called with
an `marker` parameter that equals value of the `next_marker` value that was
received in the API response.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?marker=34332423&limit=100&usemarker=true \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

The final page of items has been requested when the next `next_marker` value is
`null` in the response object. At this point there are no more items to fetch.

<Note>
  With marker-based paging there is no way to determine the total number of
  entries in a collection except by fetching them all. Applications should not
  retain the `next_marker` value long-term as the internal implementation of the
  markers may change over time.
</Note>

## Marker & Limit

The following query parameters are used to paginate a collection.

| Query parameter | Type    | Default        |                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `marker`        | String  |                | The first position in the collection to return results from. This should be a value that was returned in a previous request.                                                       |
| `limit`         | Integer | Depends on API | The maximum number of entries to return. If the value exceeds the maximum, then the maximum value will be used.                                                                    |
| `usemarker`     | Boolean |                | An optional query parameter that can be used with API endpoints that support both types of pagination to select pagination type. Set to `true` to enforce marker-based pagination. |

## Collections

When paginating collections, the API returns an object that contains the set of
results as an array, as well as some information about the current page of results.

| Field         | Type    |                                                                                                                                                                    |
| ------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `entries`     | Array   | The page of items for this page. This will be an empty array if there are no results.                                                                              |
| `next_marker` | String  | The value that can be used as the `marker` value to fetch the next page of results. If this value is `null` or an empty string there are no more results to fetch. |
| `limit`       | Integer | The limit used for this page of results. This will be the same as the `limit` query parameter unless it exceeded the maximum value allowed for this API endpoint.  |

## Example endpoints

Some endpoints that support marker-based pagination are:

* <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">List items for a folder</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-files-id-collaborations">List a file's collaborations</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-webhooks">List all webhooks for a user</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-users">List all users in an enterprise</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-folders-trash-items">List all items in the trash</Link>

# Offset-based Pagination
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/pagination/offset-based



APIs that use offset-based paging use the `offset` and `limit` query parameters
to paginate through items in a collection.

Offset-based pagination is often used where the list of items is of a fixed and
predetermined length.

## Paging

To fetch the first page of entries in a collection the API needs to be called
either without the `offset` parameter, or with the `offset` set to `0`. The
`limit` field is optional.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?offset=0&limit=100 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

To fetch the next page of entries the API needs to be called with
an `offset` parameter that equals the sum of the previous `offset` value and
limit returned in the previous result, `previous_offset + previous_limit`.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?offset=100&limit=100 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

<Note>
  Note that the `offset` should be increased by the previous `limit` and not by
  the size of the entries in the response array, as this may be less than the
  limit. Generally we advise using the value of the `limit` in the response
  object to increase the `offset` value.
</Note>

The final page of items has been requested when the next `offset` value exceeds
the `total_count` value in the response object. At this point there are no more
items to fetch.

## Offset & Limit

The following query parameters are used to paginate a collection.

| Query parameter | Type    | Default        |                                                                                                                      |
| --------------- | ------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `offset`        | Integer | `0`            | The (zero-based) offset of the first item returned in the collection. In a zero-based offset `0` is a correct value. |
| `limit`         | Integer | Depends on API | The maximum number of entries to return. If the value exceeds the maximum, then the maximum value will be used.      |

<Note>
  The maximum `offset` for offset-based pagination is `9999`. Marker-based
  pagination is recommended when a higher offset is needed.
</Note>

## Collections

When paginating collections, the API returns an object that contains the set of
results as an array, as well as some information about the current page of results.

| Field         | Type    |                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `entries`     | Array   | The page of items for this page. This will be an empty array if there are no results.                                                                             |
| `offset`      | Integer | The offset used for this page of results                                                                                                                          |
| `limit`       | Integer | The limit used for this page of results. This will be the same as the `limit` query parameter unless it exceeded the maximum value allowed for this API endpoint. |
| `total_count` | Integer | One greater than the offset of the last item in the entire collection. The total number of items in the collection may be less than `total_count`.                |

## Example endpoints

Some endpoints that support offset-based pagination are:

* <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">List items for a folder</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-files-id-comments">List a file's comments</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/get-folders-trash-items">List all items in the trash</Link>

| **Message**  | Verify the authorization code is set correctly in your request, or your application likely needs to get a new authorization code.                                                                                                                                                        |
| **Solution** | The authorization code supplied in the API request is missing or no longer valid. Possible solutions are to verify that the access token is added correctly in the request. If correctly set, the access token may have expired. Attempt to refresh the access token or fetch a new one. |

| **Message**  | Signature verification error. The public key identified by `kid` must correspond to the private key used for signing.                                                                                                                      |
| **Solution** | Use the public/private keypair associated with your app in the Developer Console. If you rotate keys, add the new key, remove the old one, update your configuration file with the new keypair and `kid`, then request a new access token. |

| **Solution** | The key ID (`kid`) in the JWT header must match a public key registered for the application (for example, the `publicKeyID` in your configuration). Confirm you are using the correct configuration file, or generate a new RSA keypair in the Developer Console and update your app to use it. |

| **Solution** | You may be requesting a token using standard OAuth 2.0 while the app is configured for Server Authentication (JWT), or the other way around. Use the token request type that matches your app's authentication method.

| **Solution** | You may be sending token requests to the wrong domain (such as `app.box.com` or `www.box.com`). Send token requests to `https://api.box.com`. Use the `grant_type` and other parameters required for your flow (`authorization_code`, `refresh_token`, [JWT assertion](/reference/post-oauth2-token#body-grant-type), and so on). |

| **Solution** | The user in context for the API request has not accepted the enterprise's custom Terms of Service. For login-capable managed users, acceptance is required before most API calls, user access token issuance, or OAuth authorization can proceed. Service accounts and App Users are exempt. If you are using server authentication with the `As-User` header or a user access token, the impersonated or token subject user must have accepted. The user can accept via the Box web application, or your application can accept programmatically using the <Link href="/guides/security/terms-of-service/flow">Terms of Service application flow</Link>.

| **Solution** | The access token may be incorrect, corrupted, or expired—for example, because of a typo, using a token from another environment, or revocation or deletion. Obtain a new access token from the token endpoint. For OAuth 2.0 authentication, you can refresh an expired access token; see <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/refresh">Refresh a token</Link>. |

| **Solution** | The upload session is in an unrecoverable state and cannot continue. This or other requests have resulted in the upload session reaching a bad state (for example parts overlapping). Possible situations where this may arise include when the maximum number of parts has been exceeded or when overlapping parts have been uploaded. |

| **Solution** | The client is performing operations too quickly and has been rate limited. Client is advised to retry their request after the amount of time specified by the `retry-after` header. There are <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits">four rate limits</Link> to be aware of. |

| **Solution** | If a Retry-After header is provided in the response, the client should retry the request according to the header value. In rare situations, a write operation may eventually persist its changes after the 503 response is received by the client, so the client should handle this case upon retry. If the issue persists, check our [Status Site](https://status.box.com/) for any known outage information. |

# Rate Limits
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits



There are three common types of API call rate limitations that Box may use at
its discretion to best protect network resources and preserve the quality of our
customer experience.

<SignupCTA>
  A free developer account lets you start making API calls and test your integration's rate limit handling with real requests.
</SignupCTA>

## User based

These rate limits protect our service from issues that may arise when a single
user generates too much traffic. The number of API calls that a user can make in
a minute is limited as described below. These limits apply to all Box user
accounts and are the most common. Generally, they are initiated when a
user exceeds approximately 1000 API calls/minute, but certain API endpoints may
have different rate limits.

## Quality of service

These rate limits are designed to protect the quality of service of our
infrastructure. If there is resource contention in the infrastructure, we
introduce automatic rate limits to prevent system degradation and outages.
For instance, if an application happens to be accessing the same physical
database server, such as the use of a file migration tool accessing related
resources that access the same underlying physical resources, Box may impose
temporary rate-limits when load spikes and adjust them as the system recovers.

## Licensing based

All Box Business Plans come with a licensed number of permitted API calls per
enterprise per month. These license based rate limits are designed to prevent
excessive overages and misuse of network resources. If Box's infrastructure
detects that a tool used by or on behalf of a customer has exceeded that
customer's API license allocation or is intending to circumvent network
controls, additional selective rate-limiting may be imposed. You can see the
default API allocations licensed with a particular account level at our
[pricing page][pricing], but note that some customers purchase Platform API
Pricing plans that increase their allocation. 

## Per API rate limits

There are currently a few distinct rate limits in place within the Box API.

* General API calls
  * 1000 API requests per minute, per user
* Uploads
  * 240 file upload requests per minute, per user
* Search
  * 6 searches per second, per user, to the <Link href="/reference/get-search">search endpoint</Link>
  * Two additional limits are applied on top of the basic rate limit
    * 60 searches per minute, per user
    * 12 searches per second, per enterprise
* Box Sign
  * Create and resend sign request: 100 requests per minute, per user
  * Get sign request: 1000 requests per minute, per user

## Rate limit error

When an application hits a rate limit, the API will return an API response with
a HTTP status code of `429 Too Many Requests`.

The response will include the following headers and JSON body.

```yaml theme={null}
retry-after: 100
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 429,
  "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
  "help_url": "/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/",
  "message": "Request rate limit exceeded, please try again later",
  "request_id": "abcdef123456"
}
```

Please see the <Link href="/reference/resources/client-error">Client Error resource</Link> for more details.

<Note>
  The `retry-after` header provides guidance on the number of seconds to wait
  before the next API call can be retried. In general, we advise using an
  exponential back-off strategy for retrying API calls.

# Scopes
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes



When an application is created in the Developer Console, the user must configure
application scopes. Similar to how users have permissions to access files and
folders within Box, applications have their own set of permissions to
perform certain actions on behalf of a Box user or a Box enterprise. The name
for a set of permissions for an application is a "scope". In short, an
application's scopes determine which <Link href="/reference">endpoints</Link> an application can
successfully call and are reflected in the access provided by
<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Tokens</Link> of the application.

## User permissions and scopes

It is important to understand that even if an application has the right scopes
to perform an action, the user associated with the Access Token making the call
needs to have permission to perform the action as well and vice versa.

For example, if your application is set up to read files, the
authenticated user does need to have permission to read the file you are
trying to access.

To learn more about how scopes, token permissions, and user permissions work
together, see our <Link href="/guides/security">security guide</Link>.

## Scopes & OAuth 2 authorization

When sending a user through a client-side OAuth 2 flow to authorize your
application it is possible to append a set of scopes to the authorization URL to
further restrict the user's access token.

For example, if you application has the `root_readonly` and `root_readwrite`
scopes enabled, it is possible to restrict a user's access token to
`root_readonly` by specifying this scope when redirecting the user.

```js theme={null}
GET https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?scope=root_readonly&client_id=....
```

When the scope parameter is omitted the application will use the scopes that
were set when the application was created.

## Self-service scopes

These scopes are available through the Developer Console when configuring an
application. Navigate to the **Application Scopes** section of the
**Configuration** tab and select one or more of the following scope.

### Read all files and folders

|                       |                                          |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `root_readonly`                          |
| **Application Scope** | Read all files and folders stored in Box |

Gives an application the ability to read all the files/folders for the
authenticated user.

Although this gives an application the permission to read files and folders, the
user making the API call does need to have access to the items being accessed.

In the case of a <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> application accessing a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">Managed User's</Link>
items, the Service Account's Token will need to either use the `as-user`
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/as-user">header</Link> or create a <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/user-access-tokens">User Access Token</Link> to directly authenticate as
the user who has access to the content.

### Read and write all files and folders

|                       |                                                    |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `root_readwrite`                                   |
| **Application Scope** | Read and write all files and folders stored in Box |

Gives an application write access for the authenticated user. This allows the
application to upload files or new file versions, download content, create new
folders, update or delete collaborations, create comments or tasks, and more.

Although this gives an application read/write access to items, the
user making the API call needs to have access to the content.

### Manage users

The manage users scope in the Developer Console maps to two OAuth scopes.

|                       |                        |
| --------------------- | ---------------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `manage_managed_users` |
| **Application Scope** | Manage users           |

Gives an application permission to manage <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">Managed Users</Link>. It
allows the app to change the user's primary login, reset their password, and
change roles for managed users.

<Note>
  Although this allows an application manage users, for client-side applications,
  the Access Token used must be associated with an Admin or Co-Admin with the
  correct permissions.

  Additionally, for JWT applications, the application must be configured with
  **App Access + Enterprise Access** <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup/#application-access">application access</Link>.
</Note>

|                       |                    |
| --------------------- | ------------------ |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `manage_app_users` |
| **Application Scope** | Manage users       |

Gives an application permission to manage <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App Users</Link>, which means this
scope only applies to server-side authenticated (JWT) applications.

### Manage groups

|                       |                 |
| --------------------- | --------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `manage_groups` |
| **Application Scope** | Manage groups   |

Gives an application permission to manage an enterprise's groups. It
allows the app to create, update, and delete groups, as well as manage group
membership.

<Note>
  Although this allows an application to manage groups, for client-side applications,
  the Access Token used must be associated with an Admin or Co-Admin with the
  correct permissions.

  For JWT applications, groups the app creates itself can be managed with
  **App Access Only**. To manage groups that were not created by the app itself,
  the application must be configured with **App Access + Enterprise Access**
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup/#application-access">application access</Link>.
</Note>

### Manage webhooks

|                       |                  |
| --------------------- | ---------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `manage_webhook` |
| **Application Scope** | Manage webhooks  |

Gives an application permission to create webhooks for a user.
Please review webhook <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/limitations-v2">limitations</Link>. Most
notably, there is a limit of 1000 webhooks per application, per user.

### Manage enterprise properties

|                       |                                |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `manage_enterprise_properties` |
| **Application Scope** | Manage enterprise properties   |

Gives an application permission to view the enterprise event stream, as well as
view and edit the enterprise's attributes and reports. It also allows the
application to edit and delete device pins.

<Note>
  Although this allows an application to enterprise properties, for client-side
  applications, the Access Token used must must be associated with an
  Admin Co-Admin with the correct permissions.
</Note>

### Manage retention policies

Allows some types of <Link href="/guides/api-calls/suppress-notifications">email notifications</Link> to be suppressed when API
calls are made.

### Global Content Manager (GCM)

|                       |                        |
| --------------------- | ---------------------- |
| **OAuth Scope**       | `enterprise_content`   |
| **Application Scope** | Global Content Manager |

Allows Admins, [Co-Admins][ca], and <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Accounts</Link> to retrieve any content
they do not own or are not collaborators on within their enterprise, based on
their enterprise settings.

This scope is required to manage the retention policies and legal holds.

<Danger>
  **Side effects**

  Enabling this scope on an application changes the behavior of some API calls,
  and most notably, makes it impossible to write content without explicitly
  authenticating as a user using the `as-user` header. Additionally, enabling this
  scope disables accessing content that is owned by users in another enterprise.

  For this reason, this scope will not be provisioned unless absolutely necessary.
</Danger>

## Scopes for downscoping

In some cases an Access Token needs to be <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoped</Link> to a more strict
permission level, especially when a token needs to be exposed to a client-side,
public environment like a browser. The primary example for this is when using
[Box UI Elements][ui-elements], which require an Access Token in the user's
browser.

The following is a list of **additional** scopes that can be used with the
<Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">`POST /oauth2/token`</Link> endpoint to downscope an
existing access token.

| OAuth Scope            | UI Element affected | Description                                                                         |

# Versioning errors
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/versioning-errors



Box provides versioning capabilities for selected API endpoints. The version control system guarantees seamless functioning of existing endpoint versions, even if Box introduces new ones.

API versioning empowers Box to continually enhance its platform, while also offering third-party developers a reliable avenue for feature updates and deprecations.

To stay informed about the API modifications, monitor the [Changelog](/changelog) and maintain a current email address in the **App Info** section of the Developer Console.

## Error examples

When using versioned API calls, you can encounter versioning-related errors. This reference lists the most common cases when errors appear and provides you with examples of such errors.

## Calling with incorrect `box-version` header

If you call an API using an incorrect `box-version` header, the API will respond with an `HTTP error code 400 - Bad Request` error and provide the supported versions in the response message.

The response will include one of the following status messages in `message` field:

| Details                                                                                           | Message                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `box-version` value is an unsupported API version or was sent malformed.                          | `Invalid API version specified in 'box-version' header.`                                 |
| The request headers did not include `box-version` header when versioned only endpoint was called. | `Missing required box-version header.`                                                   |
| `box-version` is empty.                                                                           | `Invalid (empty) API version specified in 'box-version' header.`                         |
| `box-version` contained multiple version. It requires **only one** version per request.           | `The 'box-version' header supports only one header value per request, do not use comas.` |
| An unsupported API version is used for an existing endpoint.                                      | `Unsupported API version specified in 'box-version' header.`                             |

An example of a response with an incorrect `box-version` header:

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 400,
  "code": "invalid_api_version",
  "help_url": "/reference/error-codes/invalid-api-version",
  "message": "Invalid API version specified in 'box-version' header. Supported API versions: [2024.0].",
  "request_id": "abcdef123456"
}
```

## Calling an incorrect API version in the URL

Box documentation specifies API URLs. For instance, the Sign Requests endpoints are accessed via: `https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/`. If you mistakenly make a call to an incorrect version, such as `https://api.box.com/3.0/sign_requests/`, the response returns an `HTTP error code 404 - Not Found` error.

## Calling a deprecated API

When you use an API version that Box has marked as deprecated, the API will respond as usual. Additionally, it will append a `Deprecation` header, stating the deprecation date. For example:

```sh theme={null}
Deprecation: date="Fri, 11 Nov 2026 23:59:59 GMT"
Box-API-Deprecated-Reason: /reference/deprecated
```

You should monitor API responses to verify if the `Deprecation` header is present to accordingly plan the transition to a new API version.

## Calling a non-existent version

If you attempt to use an outdated API version, such as `2025.0` which has reached its end-of-life, the response will return an `HTTP error code 404 - Not Found`. See [Calling an incorrect API version in the URL](#calling-an-incorrect-api-version-in-the-url) for more information.


# Request extra fields
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/request-extra-fields



The number of fields returned for a resource depends on the API endpoint used
to request the resource.

## Use the `fields` query parameter

To request a specific field for a resource that is not returned by default in
the standard response, append the `fields` query parameter to your request. The
value of this parameter is a comma separated list of field names.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345?fields=is_package,lock \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "etag": "1",
  "id": "12345",
  "is_package": false,
  "lock": null,
  "type": "file"
}
```

<Note>
  It is important to note that when a specific field is requested no other
  fields are returned except for those requested and the **base** set of fields.
  For a file, this base set is comprised of the `etag`, `id`, and `type` values.
</Note>

## Resource variants

The following resource variants are available in the Box API.

### Standard

The default set of fields returned in an API response.
The standard variant is returned when requesting a resource
through the main APIs available for that resource. For example, when requesting
the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link> endpoint the API will return
the standard variation of a file.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
    "content_created_at": "2019-06-20T06:04:41-07:00",
    "content_modified_at": "2019-06-20T06:04:41-07:00",
    "created_at": "2019-06-20T07:28:42-07:00",
    "created_by": {
        "id": "191919191",
        "login": "joe@example.com",
        "name": "Joe Box",
        "type": "user"
    },
    "description": "",
    "etag": "1",
    "file_version": {
        "id": "56663434454334",
        "sha1": "585afa5209bbd586c79499b7336601341ad06cce",
        "type": "file_version"
    },
    "id": "12345",
    ...
    "size": 65000647,
    "trashed_at": null,
    "type": "file"
}
```

### Mini

Where a resource is returned as a nested part of another response it is often
reduced in size, only returning some of the more essential fields. This variant
is commonly known as the mini resource variant.

For example, when requesting the
<Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">`GET /folders/:id/items`</Link> endpoint the API
will return a mini variation of files and folders nested within the `item_collection`.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "0",
  "type": "folder",
  "item_collection": {
    "entries": [
      {
        "etag": "1",
        "file_version": {
          "id": "56663434454334",
          "sha1": "585afa5209bbd586c79499b7336601341ad06cce",
          "type": "file_version"
        },
        "id": "12345",
        "name": "Video.mp4",
        "sequence_id": "1",
        "sha1": "585afa5209bbd586c79499b7336601341ad06cce",
        "type": "file"
      }
      ...
    ]
    ...
  }
  ...
}
```

<Note>
  To request more information for a nested resource we recommend calling the
  API for that resource to request it by ID, and optionally pass along the
  `field` query parameter.

  For example, to get the owner of a file returned when listing the items in a
  folder, request that file by ID with the query parameter `field=owned_by`.
</Note>

### Full

The total set of fields that can be returned in an API response. The full variant is returned when requesting a resource
through the main APIs available for that resource and by appending the `fields`
query parameter.

For example, when requesting the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link>
endpoint with the `fields=is_package,lock` parameter the API will return the fields specified plus the basic fields for the file.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345?fields=is_package,lock \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "etag": "1",
  "id": "12345",
  "is_package": false,
  "lock": null,
  "type": "file"
}
```

# Sorting responses
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/sorting



Where an API returns a collection of items it often supports sorting of API
responses.

Use the `sort` and `direction` query parameters to sort the collection either in
ascending or descending order.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?sort=size&direction=DESC \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

<Warning>
  Not all API endpoints that return collections have support for sorting.
  Especially endpoints that use marker-based pagination often lack support for
  sorting the results.
</Warning>

## Sorting criteria

The field to sort on is defined by the `sort` query parameter. Check the API
endpoint's documentation for the possible options for this value.

<Note>
  In some APIs the `sort` field is the second criteria by which the items are
  sorted. For example for the <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">`GET /folders/:id/items`</Link>
  endpoint the results are always sorted by their type first before any other
  criteria.
</Note>

## Sorting direction

The sorting direction supports two values, either `ASC` for ascending order, or
`DESC` for the reverse.

# Status codes
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/status-codes



The following rules can be applied to interpret the HTTP status
codes received when using the Box API.

| HTTP Status |                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `200-299`   | Box received, understood, and accepted the API request. The request has either completed or is in the process of being completed.                                                                                             |
| `300-399`   | Box received, understood, and accepted the API request, yet the client must take further action in order to complete the request. Often this includes redirect to other URLs.                                                 |
| `400-499`   | An client error occurred when handling the request, often because the client either did not provide the right parameters, did not have access to the resources, or tried to perform an action that is otherwise not possible. |
| `500-599`   | Box received and accepted the request, but an error occurred within Box while handling it. These errors signify a problem with Box, not a problem with the client's request                                                   |

# Suppress notifications
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/suppress-notifications



For some API calls, you can block email and webhook notifications by
including a `box-notifications: off` header with the API call.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/folders \
    -H "box-notifications: off" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" \
    -d '{
      "name": "New Folder",
      "parent": {
        "id": "0"
      }
    }'
```

As an example, this can be used for a virus-scanning tool to download copies
every user's files in an enterprise without every collaborator on the file
receiving an email informing them of the download.

All actions will still appear in users updates feed and the audit-logs.

<Warning>
  **Scope requirement**

  Notification suppression is available for approved applications only. Contact
  support to request the required scopes to be enabled for your application.

  The following settings need to be configured for your application for this feature
  to properly work.

  * **Can suppress email notifications from API calls** - available on request via support
  * **Manage Enterprise Properties** - available via the developer console
  * Co-admin permissions of **Edit settings for your company**.
</Warning>

<Note>
  Some notifications can not be suppressed, most notable the creation is users,
  comments, collaborations, task assignments, and when changing a user's login.
</Note>


# Types and formats
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/api-calls/types-and-formats



The following sections explain some basic concepts about the types and formats
that can be encountered within the Box APIs.

## Requests

The Box APIs use JSON in the requests bodies. There are a few notable exceptions
to this rule:

* The <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">`POST /oauth2/token`</Link> is used to request access tokens and as per the OAuth 2.0 specification it accepts the body to be sent with a content type of `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.
* Most of the APIs that are used to upload binary data, like the <Link href="/reference/post-files-content">`POST /files/content`</Link> endpoint, expect data to be sent as form data with a content type of `multipart/form-data`.

<Note>
  Although not required, we highly recommend passing a header with each API
  request to define the content type of the data sent, for example
  `content-type: application/json`.
</Note>

### Headers

As per the HTTP specification, all request header names in the Box API are
case-insensitive and can be provided in lowercase, uppercase, or any mixed case
form. In other words, the content type header can be set as
`CONTENT-TYPE: application/json`, `content-type: application/json`,
`content-type: application/json` or even the slightly absurd
`cOnTeNt-TyPe: application/json`.

Header values **are** mostly case sensitive unless stated otherwise.

### GZip compression

By default data sent from Box is not compressed. To improve bandwidth and
response times it's possible to compress the API responses by including
a `Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate` request header.

### Date and times

The Box APIs support [RFC 3339][rfc3339] timestamps. The preferred way to format
a date in a request is to convert the time to UTC, for example `2013-04-17T09:12:36-00:00`.

In those cases where timestamps are rounded to a given day, the time component
can be omitted. In this case, `2013-04-17T13:35:01+00:00` would become
`2013-04-17`. In those cases where timestamps support millisecond precision the expected
request format should be as followed `2013-04-17T09:12:36.123-00:00`.

The timezone can differ between different files and folders because an
enterprise's timezone can change over time. A common example is daylight saving
time. Items created during standard time would have a different timezone than
items created during daylight saving time. For this reason it's important to use
a `RFC3339`-compliant date-time parser to handle dates returned by the API.

Timestamps are restricted to dates after the start of the Unix epoch, `00:00:00
UTC` on January 1, 1970.

## Responses

The Box APIs generally returns JSON in the response body. There are a few notable
exceptions to this rule as well.

* APIs that delete items return an empty body with a `204 No Content` HTTP status code.
* APIs used to request binary data either return a `200 OK` status code with the binary data attached, or a `202 Accepted`, or `302 Found` status code with no body and a `location` header pointing to the actual binary file.

<Note>
  The `content-type` response header can be used to understand the type of
  content returned in the API. Additionally, every API endpoint has it's
  response type documented in our API reference documentation.
</Note>

### Headers

As per the HTTP specification, all response header names in the Box API are
case-insensitive and could change over time.

This means that the API might return responses with a content type header of
`CONTENT-TYPE: application/json`, `content-type: application/json` or
`content-type: application/json`. Ideally your application should convert header
names to a standard case upon request and then use that standardized set of
headers to look up values of the headers.

Header values **are** always case sensitive unless stated otherwise.

### Resources

Most standard API responses where only one resource is returned follow the
following format.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "12345",
  "type": "folder",
  ...
}
```

Every one of these resources will always return an ID and the type of the resource.

### Collections

Where an API response returns multiple items a collection is returned. Although
the exact format of these collections can change from endpoint to endpoint they
generally are formatted as follows.

```json theme={null}
{
  "total_count": 5000,
  "limit": 1000,
  "offset": 2000,
  "order": [
    {
      "by": "type",
      "direction": "ASC"
    }
  ],
  "entries": [
    {
      "id": 12345,
      "etag": 1,
      "type": "file",
      "sequence_id": 3,
      "name": "Contract.pdf"
    }
  ]
}
```

| Field         | Always present? |                                                                                                                          |
| ------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `entries`     | Yes             | A list of entries in the collection                                                                                      |
| `total_count` | No              | The total numbers in the collection that can be requested. This can be larger than this page of results                  |
| `limit`       | No              | For endpoints that support offset-based pagination, this specifies the limit to the number of results returned           |
| `offset`      | No              | For endpoints that support offset-based pagination, this specifies the offset of results returned                        |
| `order`       | No              | For endpoints that support sorting, this specifies the order the results are returned in                                 |
| `next_marker` | No              | For endpoints that support marker-based pagination, this specifies the marker for the next page that can be returned     |
| `prev_marker` | No              | For endpoints that support marker-based pagination, this specifies the marker for the previous page that can be returned |

### Request IDs

When your API call returns in an error, our API will return an error
object with a `request_id` field.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 400,
  "code": "item_name_invalid",
  "help_url": "/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/",
  "message": "Method Not Allowed",
  "request_id": "abcdef123456"
}
```

When reaching out to support about specific error, please provide the full API
response including the `request_id` to help our support team to quickly find your
request.

<Note>
  Most API calls also return a `box-request-id` response header. The value of
  this header should not be confused with the `request_id` value in the body of
  an error response.
</Note>

### Large numbers

In some cases the API can return extremely large numbers for a field. For
example, a folder's size might have grown to many terabytes of data and
as a result the `size` field of the folder might have grown to a very large
number.

In these cases these numbers are returned in [IEEE754][numbers] format for
example `1.2318237429383e+31`.

# Create a Platform App
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/platform-apps/create



A Platform App allows for interaction with our 150+ endpoints.
For example, downloading/uploading, searching, applying metadata and more.

## Prerequisites

Access to the [Developer Console][dev-console].

## Create a Platform App

1. Navigate to the [Developer Console][dev-console].
2. Click **New App**.
3. Select an app type: **User** for apps where users link their Box accounts, or **Server** for backend services infrastructure.
4. If you selected **Server**, you may also be asked to choose an authentication method (see below for more information).
5. Click **Create**.

For **Server** apps, <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>
is always the default. The **Switch
server app auth type (CCG or JWT)** setting in **Admin Console > Enterprise Settings > Platform Apps** controls whether the
method is locked:

* When switching is **enabled** (the default for free developer accounts), the
  app is created with Client Credentials Grant and you can change it to
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> - or back - afterward.
* When switching is **disabled** (the default for enterprises), the dialog shows
  a **Select Method** step with Client Credentials Grant preselected. You have the option to
  pick <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> at creation instead.
  The method is then fixed for the life of the app.

See <Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">Select Auth Method</Link>
for guidance on choosing the method.

## Configure application settings

After you create a Platform App, the settings screen is displayed.

### General settings

* **App Name** - the name you set up during the app creation, you can change it here if needed.
* **App Description** - provide a description for your app (optional).
* **Contact Email** - this is set to the developer of the application by default.
  Keep in mind that once you publish your app, this email is publicly visible to Box users
  who view your app in the <Link href="/guides/applications/integrations">Integrations</Link>. We recommend to change it to a
  support email address, so that users can reach out to support in case of any issues with
  the integration.

### Configuration

* **Purpose** - select the purpose of your app from the drop-down list.
  Depending on the option you choose, you might need to specify further details.

| Purpose                           | Details                                                                                                                                  |

# Platform App
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/platform-apps/index



Platform App typically presents Box functionality to a user through a
custom interface. Box offers pre-built, customizable user interface components,
known as <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements">UI Elements</Link>, for functionalities like browsing, searching, and
previewing content.

## Authentication methods

When you create a Platform App, you select an app type:

* **User**: for user-facing apps that redirect users to Box to log in.
  Uses <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link>.
* **Server**: for backend services and automations.
  Uses <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>
  or <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link>. Depending on your enterprise
  settings, you pick the method when you create the app or set it later in the
  **Configuration** tab.

<Card href="/guides/authentication/select" title="Learn more about selecting an authentication method" />

## When to use

Use a Platform App when you want to:

* Use <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link>, <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>, or <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> for authentication.
* Upload and download files
* Access both your own files and files owned by <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users/">managed or external users</Link>.
* List the application in the Box Integrations
* Provide integration into the Box Web App

## Use cases

Example use cases include:

* A file vault in an application that allows an end user to access files that have been shared with them, while also providing access for employees to the same files through the Box Web app.

  An example of this is financial advisor sharing statements and investment
  prospectuses with investors that can be viewed and commented on within a
  platform application.

* A file upload feature in an application that allows an end user to submit and upload files from within a custom-built application to Box. These uploads then initiate a business process with the Box Web app.

  An example of this is a candidate submitting a PDF of a resume to a
  recruiting portal then can then be routed to an appropriate employee for
  review.

| Field               | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Client Callback URL | Handles additional callback requests from Box after the primary request with <Link href="/guides/applications/web-app-integrations/types">Popup Integrations</Link>. If the application specifies a file parameter in the REST method, the preliminary callback URL cannot originate from the client. As a result, a second request must be made from the client to your server so the server can send the necessary interface to the user. |
| Prompt Message      | Specifies the message that users see when they initiate the integration. Use this field to provide context about what happens next. The message is limited to 500 characters.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| User Experience     | Informs that the integration will open in a new window.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| New Window Settings | Determines if the application opens in a new tab.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

### Callback Parameters

The **Callback Parameters** section configures the parameters that Box sends to
the callback URL when a user accepts a confirmation prompt. If this setting is
not configured, Box does not send any parameters to the callback URL.
To add a parameter, select the **Method** (GET or POST),
specify the **Parameter name** and add a **Parameter value**.

<Warning>
  The **File** method is no longer supported. If you already used this method,
  you cannot edit its values. You can change the **File** method to **GET**
  or **POST**, but you can't undo this action.
</Warning>

For example: **GET - `userid` - `#user_id#`**.

The following parameter values are available.

| Parameter             | Method    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |

| `user_id`             | GET, POST | The Box <Link href="/guides/getting-started/locating-values/#user-ids">user ID</Link>. This information is used in Popup Integrations in which user authentication is required to complete an action. You can store the Box ID in your application to enable subsequent authentication requests from the integration.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| `user_name`           | POST      | The full name or email address of the Box user. Not all Box users specify their names at all times.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

| `auth_code`           | GET, POST | The OAuth 2.0 <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/without-sdk/#3-user-grants-application-access">authorization code</Link>, which is generated by Box upon successful authentication. Your application must then supply this authorization code to Box in exchange for an OAuth 2.0 Access Token. An authorization header containing a valid Access Token must be included in every Box API request.                                                                                                                                                                |
| `redirect_to_box_url` | GET, POST | In Popup Integrations, the URL to which requests are sent by the confirmation prompt. Use this URL to redirect users to the All Files page. This parameter closes the popup panel and refreshes the All Files page to reflect any changes performed by the integration. If you do not want to add this parameter to your application, you can specify the entire URL. **Success**: `#redirect_to_box_url#&status=success&message=Your%20action%20was%20successful%2E`.  **Failure**: `#redirect_to_box_url#&status=failure&message=Your%20action%20was%20unsuccessful%2E` |

### Integration Status

* **Development**: The integration is visible and available only to application collaborators listed under the **General Settings** tab. This option is best used when the application is still in development and undergoing testing.
* **Online**: The integration is visible and available to all Box users. This option is best used when development is complete and the application is ready to publish in the Integrations.
* **Maintenance**: The integration is visible and available only to application collaborators listed under the **General Settings** tab. This option is best used after the integration is published in the Integrations, but needs to perform maintenance updates or troubleshoot issues. Use this option to temporarily take the integration offline for everyone except the application's collaborators.

## Example Use Cases of Box Integrations

When a user chooses a Popup Integration, Box sends a callback request to the
primary callback URL. It sends the callback parameters have been configured to
the server. In some cases, Box may make a second request if the
client cannot get all the data it needs from the first request.

The following example does not require a client callback URL:

* The Popup Integration performs a REST call using a `download_file_url` callback parameter.
* The user clicks **OK** in the confirmation prompt to accept the popup.
* Box sends a request to the following URL (the primary callback URL plus the callback parameter): `http://www.doceditor.com/service?apikey=abc&file=&redirect=`.
* The response from the callback URL displays a user interface to the user who made the request. The popup has all the information needed to continue the action and an additional client callback is not needed.

The following example requires a client callback URL:

* The Popup Integration performs a REST call using a file-callback parameter.
* The user clicks **OK** in the confirmation prompt to accept the popup.
* The popup displays a page where Box sends a POST request with the contents of a file, along with the callback parameters to the remote server.
* Box receives the response from the remote server and directs the client to POST the response to the client callback URL. The server identified by the URL interprets the response and redirects the user with the correct session ID.

## Client-callback URL Request Format

The POST request that Box sends to the client callback URL takes the response
from the primary callback URL and forwards it to the same URL along with the
same data as the original callback.

| Client Callback URL                                                                                                   | Example                                                  |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Two GET parameters and one POST parameter: `http://your-client-callback-url.com/?get_param1=value1&get_param2=value2` | `POST data: post_param1=value1initial_callback_response` |

The response to the client-callback request is an HTTP status 302, redirecting
the user to the correct URL or to the HTML for a UI.

Most often the URL points to a separate API or custom script developed for Web
App Integrations, which parses the result of the primary callback URL.

<Warning>
  If you want to publish your platform app for all Box customers to use, make sure that the URL is publicly accessible on the internet.
</Warning>

## Making Integration Publicly Available

To make a Box integration publicly available it needs to be listed in the App
Center. Follow the <Link href="/guides/applications/integrations">Integrations</Link> guide for more details.

# Web App Integration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/web-app-integrations/index



Web App Integrations allow third-party applications to
become part of the Box user experience by
allowing users to use such third-party applications
when editing or sharing files.

## Features

* **File interaction**. Users can modify, share, or edit content stored in Box using a third-party application.
* **Recommended Apps support**. Integrations can appear in the Box Preview interface under **Recommended Apps**. For details, see [Recommended Web Integrations][recommended-web-integrations].

<Frame>
  <img alt="Integration example" />
</Frame>

* **Scoped availability**. Integrations can be restricted to certain content types and file extensions.

## Visibility in Recommended Apps

Your web application integration appears in **Recommended Apps** only if it is published in Integrations.

# Integrations Types
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/web-app-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.

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

# User Experience
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/applications/web-app-integrations/user-experience



The following explains what a Web App Integration looks like from a user's point
of view.

1. Box users can discover applications in the Box Integrations. They can visit the Integrations directly, or select the **Integrations** menu from the Box Web App UI.
2. In the Integrations they select the application they would like to add. Every published Box application has a public profile page, which provides details including the integrations it provides.
3. They user adds the application to their account by clicking the **Add** button in the Integrations listing. Once an application is added to an account, all its integrations become available to the user.
4. Select an integration from the **More Actions** menu on a file or folder.
5. Box will ask the user for permission to share the file or folder with the application. The confirmation prompt must accepted before the integration can be successfully used.
6. Upon granting access, Box passes the data to the application. Depending on the type of integration, the application will then display a popup panel or run a server-based process.


# Authentication best practices
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/best-practices



## Client secret security

Your client secret is confidential and needs to be protected. Because this is
how we securely identify an application's identity when obtaining an
Access Token, you do not want to freely distribute a client secret. This
includes via email, public forums and code repositories, distributed native
applications, or client-side code.

## Cache tokens

Because fetching new tokens is expensive, we recommend using a token cache
to prevent unnecessary requests.

After retrieving a token, store it in an in-memory cache, like Memcached, or a
built-in ASP.NET cache service. By default, Access Tokens are valid for 60
minutes, but we recommend setting the expiration time to around 50 minutes to
allow for a buffer.

When you need a token, first check the cache for a valid token. If the token
expired, get a new one and store it in the cache for 50 minutes.

```ruby theme={null}
def self.user_client(user_id)
    access_token=Rails.cache.fetch("box_tokens/user/#{user_id}", :expires_in => 50.minutes) do
        puts "getting new user token"
        response= Boxr::get_user_token(user_id, private_key: PRIVATE_KEY, private_key_password: ENV['JWT_PRIVATE_KEY_PASSWORD'])
        response.access_token
    end

    Boxr::Client.new(access_token)
end
```

<Tip>
  Official Box SDKs use token caching.
</Tip>

## Expired tokens

Expired tokens return a 401: Unauthorized error. This error should be handled
to refresh the token.

## Downscope tokens

It is important to follow the principle of least privilege when thinking about
Access Tokens. This can be accomplished through <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoping</Link>, where
a fully scoped Access Token is exchanged for a more restricted Access Token that
can then be deployed to client-side code, mobile environments, or UI tools.

```java theme={null}
//Define resource/scopes that downscoped token has access to
String resource = "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/RESOURCE_ID";
List<String> scopes = new ArrayList<String>();
scopes.add("base_preview");
scopes.add("item_download");

//Preform token exchange
ScopedToken downscopedToken =
    client.getLowerScopedToken(scopes,resource);

//Downscoped token available in downscopedToken.getAccessToken()
```

## Revoke tokens

Both fully scoped Access Tokens and Downscoped Tokens can be <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/revoke">revoked</Link>.
This allows you to manage the lifespan of a token to reduce exposure when a user
logs out , there is suspicious activity, or when you need to push new security
enhancements.

## Developer Tokens

Developer Tokens should only be used for development or testing purposes and
never in production.

## Prerequisites

To set up a Platform App using server-side authentication, you need to ensure
you have access to the [Developer Console][devconsole] from your Box enterprise
account. Alternatively, you may sign up for a [developer account][devaccount].

## App creation steps

### Create a Server Authentication app

1. Log into Box and go to the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Click **New App**.
3. Select **Server** as the app type.
4. Click **Create**.

Client Credentials Grant (CCG) is the default authentication method for new
Server Authentication apps, so clicking **Create** produces a CCG app. Your
enterprise's **Switch server app auth type (CCG or JWT)** setting only affects
whether you can change the method later: when switching is disabled, the
**Create a New App** dialog shows a **Select Method** step with CCG preselected,
and the method is fixed once the app is created.

<Info>
  When switching is enabled, you can change to
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> at any time from the
  **Configuration** tab. See
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">Changing between Client Credentials and JWT</Link>
  for details.
</Info>

## App Authorization

Server authentication applications must be authorized before use. The authorization process depends on your account type.

**Free developer accounts**: Your app is automatically authorized when you create it. If authorization did not complete, the **Configuration** tab displays a prompt to authorize the app.

**Enterprise accounts**: After you create the app, the **Configuration** tab prompts you to submit the app for admin approval.

**Enterprise admins and co-admins**: The **Configuration** tab lets you authorize the app directly after creation.

<Card href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval" title="Learn more about the authorization process" />

## Basic configuration

### Application Access

An application's access level determines which users and content your app may
access. By default, an application can only successfully interact with the
content of its <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> and any <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">App Users</Link>. To also
access existing Managed Users of an enterprise, navigate to the
**App Access Level** setting on the **Configuration** tab of the
[Developer console][devconsole] and set to **App + Enterprise Access**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App access level" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  To authenticate as a Managed User or Admin, enable **Generate User Access Tokens** in the **Additional Configuration** section of the **Configuration** tab.
</Note>

### Application Scopes

An application's scopes determine which endpoints and resources an application
can successfully call. See the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes guide</Link> for detailed information
on each option.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App scopes" />
</Frame>

### CORS Domains

If your application makes API calls from front-end browser code in
Javascript, the domain that these calls are made from needs to be
added to an allow-list due to [Cross Origin Resource Sharing][cors],
also known as CORS. If all requests are made from server-side code,
you may skip this section.

To add the full URI(s) to the allow-list, navigate to the **CORS Domain**
section at the bottom of the **Configuration** tab in the
[Developer console][devconsole].

# Client Credentials Grant
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/client-credentials/index



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Client Credentials Grant (CCG) is an authentication method for
<Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">Platform Apps</Link> using
**Server Authentication**. It verifies your application's identity using a
client ID and client secret.

If your integration requires keypair-based authentication and your enterprise
allows switching auth types, you can
<Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">change to JWT</Link>
from the **Configuration** tab at any time. If switching is disabled, the method
is set when the app is created and cannot be changed later.

## Prerequisites

* A Platform Application using Server Authentication (with Client Credentials Grant) authentication in the Box [Developer Console][devconsole].
* [2FA][2fa] enabled on your Box account for viewing and copying the application's client secret from the configuration tab.
* The application is <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorized</Link> for use with your enterprise.

<SignupCTA>
  A free developer account gives you access to the Developer Console, where you can set up Client Credentials Grant authentication in minutes.
</SignupCTA>

<Danger>
  Your client secret is confidential and needs to be protected. Because this is
  how we securely identify an application's identity when obtaining an
  Access Token, you do not want to freely distribute a client secret. This
  includes via email, public forums and code repositories, distributed native
  applications, or client-side code. If you would like to add more security
  mechanisms, we recommend using our standard JWT application type.
</Danger>

## How to use

When making your API call to obtain an <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">Access Token</Link>, your
request body needs to contain your client ID and client Secret. Set the
`grant_type` to `client_credentials`.

If you would like to authenticate as the application's <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>:

* Set `box_subject_type` to `enterprise`.
* Set `box_subject_id` to the enterprise ID.

If you would like to authenticate as an Admin or a Managed User:

* Set `box_subject_type` to `user`.
* Set `box_subject_id` to the user ID.
* Enable **App + Enterprise Access** and **Generate User Access Tokens** in the Box [Developer Console][devconsole].

If you would like to authenticate as any application user:

* Set `box_subject_type` to `user`.
* Set `box_subject_id` to the user ID.
* Enable **Generate User Access Tokens** in the Box [Developer Console][devconsole].

## Common Errors

### Grant credentials are invalid

During authentication, you can encounter the following error:

```sh theme={null}
Grant credentials are invalid [400 Bad Request] invalid_grant - Grant credentials are invalid
```

This error indicates either:

* The client ID and client secret passed are incorrect or are not for the same application.

* The `box_subject_id` cannot be used based on the selected <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials/client-credentials-setup/#application-access">application access</Link>.

<Warning>
  A CCG app with App Access Only can send in the `box_subject_type` of `enterprise` to authenticate as its service account, but it can't authenticate as a Managed User or an Admin.
</Warning>

* To use a `box_subject_type` of `user`, your application should be configured to generate user access tokens in the **Advanced Features** section of the **Configuration tab**.

  <Frame>
    <img alt="Generate access tokens check" />
  </Frame>

<Warning>
  Once you make changes to the app settings, don't forget to <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval#re-authorization-on-changes">reauthorize</Link> the application in the Admin Console.
</Warning>

* Your application has not been authorized in the Box Admin Console.

# Authentication
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/index



Authentication with the Box API uses an Access Token to identify a user. The
way in which an Access Token is acquired depends on the method used to authorize
a user. The type of authorization available to an application depends on the
use-case as well as the type of application that has been created in the developer
console.

## Access Tokens for Authentication

Every API endpoint requires a valid and active **Access Token** to make API
calls. An Access Token is a unique string that identifies an authenticated Box
user to the API endpoints.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me \
    -H "authorization: Bearer EGmDmRVfhfHsqesn5yVYHAqUkD0dyDfk"

# as-user Header
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/as-user



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

It is possible for a JWT application to act on behalf of another user
by leveraging the `as-user` header.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0 \
    -H "as-user: [USER_ID]" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]"
```

<Info>
  In this situation the user ID is the Box identifier for a user. User IDs can
  be found for any user via the `GET /users` endpoint, which is only available to
  admins, or by calling the `GET /users/me` endpoint with an authenticated user
  session.
</Info>

## Preconditions

The application must be configured to perform actions as users in the
[Developer Console][devconsole]. In the **Configuration** tab of your app, in the **Additional Configuration** section, select **Make API calls using the as-user header**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Advanced Features" />
</Frame>

Additionally, the authenticated user needs to be a user with Admin permissions,
meaning either an Admin or Co-Admin. See our guide on
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">User Types</Link> for more details.

## as-user using SDKs

All of the <Link href="/guides/tooling/sdks">official Box SDKs</Link> support acting on behalf of a user using the
`as-user` header.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var userClient = client.WithAsUserHeader("[USER_ID]");
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  BoxClient userClient = client.withAsUserHeader("[USER_ID]");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  user_client = client.with_as_user_header('[USER_ID]')
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  const userClient = client.withAsUserHeader('[USER_ID]');
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  These methods return a new client instance with the as-user header applied,
  leaving the original client unmodified.
</Warning>

## Limitations

* You cannot use the `user_id` of a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> in the `as-user` header.
* When impersonating a managed user, access is limited to content owned or controlled by the enterprise. Content owned by external users cannot be accessed through the `as-user` header.
* The `as-user` header cannot specify the same user ID as the authenticated user. If the specified user ID matches the current user, the request fails with a `403 Forbidden` error.

# JWT Auth
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/index



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Server-side authentication using JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is the most common way to
authenticate to the Box API. JWT is an [open standard](https://jwt.io/)
designed to allow powerful server-to-server authentication.

<Frame>
  <img alt="The JWT flow" />
</Frame>

Server-side authentication using JWT is available to
<Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">Platform Apps</Link>.
This authentication method does not require end-user
interaction and, if granted the proper privileges, can be used
to act on behalf of any user in an enterprise.

To use JWT, create a **Server Authentication** app and set its method to **JWT**.
Depending on your enterprise's **Switch server app auth type (CCG or JWT)**
setting, you select **JWT** when you create the app or switch to it later from
the **Configuration** tab. When switching is enabled, you can
<Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">change between JWT and Client Credentials</Link>
at any time.

Upon authorizing a JWT application, a
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> is automatically generated and is the default
Access Token used when authenticating. Because the Service Account has admin-like
privileges, JWT applications must be <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorized</Link> before use.

## When to use JWT

Server-side authentication with JWT is the ideal authentication method for apps
that:

* Work with users that don't have a Box account
* Want to use their own identity system
* Don't want users to have to know that they are using Box
* Want to store data within the application's Box account and not within the user's Box account

# Setup with JWT
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup



A Platform App can be set up to use server-side authentication with
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link>.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/jwt")} title="Learn how JWT authentication works" />

## Prerequisites

To set up a Platform App using JWT, you need to ensure
you have access to the [Developer Console][devconsole] from your Box enterprise
account. Alternatively, you may sign up for a [developer account][devaccount].

<SignupCTA>
  Don't have a Box account yet? A free developer account gives you access to the Developer Console, where you can create and configure JWT applications.
</SignupCTA>

## App creation steps

### Create a Server Authentication app

1. Log into Box and go to the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Click **New App**.
3. Select **Server** as the app type.
4. Click **Create**.

### Select JWT as the authentication method

How you set the method to **JWT** depends on your enterprise's **Switch server
app auth type (CCG or JWT)** setting:

* When switching is **enabled**, the app is created using Client Credentials
  Grant (the default). Open the **Configuration** tab and change the
  authentication method to **JWT**.
* When switching is **disabled**, the **Create a New App** dialog shows a
  **Select Method** step with Client Credentials Grant preselected. Choose
  **JWT** there, because the method is fixed once the app is created.

<Info>
  When switching is enabled, you can change between JWT and
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>
  at any time from the **Configuration** tab. See
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">Changing between Client Credentials and JWT</Link>
  for details on credential handling and downtime considerations.
</Info>

## Public and private key pair

Once your app is configured to use JWT, a key pair can be generated via the
**Configuration** tab in the [Developer Console][devconsole]. Alternatively, you can generate your
own and supply Box with the public key. Regardless of the method you select,
your Box account needs to have [2FA][2fa] enabled for security purposes.

### Generate a keypair (Recommended)

If you would like to use a Box generated keypair, navigate to the
[Developer Console][devconsole] where you can generate a configuration file.
This file includes a public/private keypair and a number of other application
details that are necessary for authentication.

To generate this file, navigate to the **Configuration** tab of the
[Developer Console][devconsole] and scroll down to the
**Add and Manage Public Keys** section.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Add and Manage keys" />
</Frame>

Click the **Generate a Public/Private Keypair** button to have Box generate a
keypair you. This triggers the download of a JSON configuration file that
you can move to your application code.

<Danger>
  For security reasons, Box does not store your private key. If you lose your
  private key, you need to reset the entire keypair.
</Danger>

### Manually add keypair

Alternatively, you may generate your own keypair and upload the public key to
the [Developer Console][devconsole].

To create a keypair using OpenSSL, open a terminal window and run the
following commands.

```shell theme={null}
openssl genrsa -des3 -out private.pem 2048
openssl rsa -in private.pem -outform PEM -pubout -out public.pem
```

<Info>
  **For Windows Systems**

  Windows users can install and use the [Cygwin][cygwin] package to run OpenSSL.
</Info>

Then, navigate to the configuration tab for your application within the
[Developer console][devconsole] and scroll down to the
**Add and Manage Public Keys** section.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Add and Manage keys" />
</Frame>

Click the **Add a Public Key** button, enter the public key generated using the
steps above and click **Verify and Save**.

## App Authorization

Server authentication applications must be authorized before use. The authorization process depends on your account type.

**Free developer accounts**: Your app is automatically authorized when you create it. If authorization did not complete, the **Configuration** tab displays a prompt to authorize the app.

**Enterprise accounts**: After you create the app, the **Configuration** tab prompts you to submit the app for admin approval.

**Enterprise admins and co-admins**: The **Configuration** tab lets you authorize the app directly after creation.

<Card href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval" title="Learn more about the authorization process" />

## Basic configuration

### Application Access

An application's access level determines which users and content your app may
access. By default, an application can only successfully interact with the
content of its <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> and any <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">App Users</Link>.
To access existing Managed Users of an
enterprise and groups that were not created by
the app itself, navigate to the **App Access Level**
setting accessible on the **Configuration** tab of the
[Developer console][devconsole] and set
to **App + Enterprise Access**. Otherwise, access to such
Managed Users and groups is blocked.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App access level" />
</Frame>

### Application Scopes

An application's scopes determine which endpoints and resources an application
can successfully call. See the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes guide</Link> for detailed information
on each option.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App scopes" />
</Frame>

### CORS Domains

If your application makes API calls from front-end browser code in
Javascript, the domain that these calls are made from needs to be
added to an allow-list due to [Cross Origin Resource Sharing][cors],
also known as CORS. If all requests are made from server-side code,
you may skip this section.

To add the full URI(s) to the allow-list, navigate to the **CORS Domain**

# User Access Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/user-access-tokens



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

It is possible for a JWT application to create an Access Token for a specific
user instead of for the <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>.

## Preconditions

The application must be configured to allow the creation of user Access Tokens.
This setting can be found in the **Configuration** tab of the
[Developer Console][devconsole].

<Frame>
  <img alt="Advanced Features" />
</Frame>

Additionally, the authenticated user needs to be a user with Admin permissions,
meaning either an Admin, Co-Admin, or Service Account. See our guide on
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">User Types</Link> for more details.

## User Access Tokens with SDKs

To create a Box SDK client that authenticates as a specific user, follow the
steps described in the <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/with-sdk">JWT with SDK guide</Link>,
but create a user client instead of an "Enterprise" client.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var userId = "12345";
  var sdk = new BoxJWTAuth(config);
  var token = sdk.UserToken(appUserID);

# JWT with SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/with-sdk



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The official Box SDKs have built-in support for JWT authentication.

This guide will take you through user authentication using JWT with the use
of the Box SDKs. JWT authentication is designed for working directly with the
Box API without requiring a user to redirect through Box to authorize your
application.

## Overview

To complete a JWT authorization the following steps need to be completed.

1. Read the configuration file
2. Initialize an SDK client

At the end of this flow, the application has a Box SDK client that can be used to
make API calls on behalf of the application.

<Note>
  The default method of authentication through JWT is inherently tied to the Service
  Account for the application. Any API call made with this token will seem to
  come from this application and will not have access to files and folders from
  other users without explicitly getting access them.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Before we can get started, you will need to have completed the following steps.

* Create a Box Application within the developer console
* Create and download the private key configuration file for your application and save it as `config.json`
* Ensure your Box Application is approved for usage within your enterprise

## 1. Read JSON configuration

After creating a Box Application there should be a `config.json` file containing
the application's private key and other details. The following is an example.

```json config.json theme={null}
{
  "boxAppSettings": {
    "clientID": "abc...123",
    "clientSecret": "def...234",
    "appAuth": {
      "publicKeyID": "abcd1234",
      "privateKey": "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\n....\n-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
      "passphrase": "ghi...345"
    }
  },
  "enterpriseID": "1234567"
}
```

To use this object in the application it needs to be read from file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var reader = new StreamReader("path/to/config.json");
  var json = reader.ReadToEnd();
  var config = BoxConfig.CreateFromJsonString(json);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  Reader reader = new FileReader("path/to/config.json");
  BoxConfig config = BoxConfig.readFrom(reader);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from boxsdk import JWTAuth

  config = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('path/to/config.json')
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var config = require("path/to/config.json");
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  **Parsing JSON**

  In some programming languages there is more than one way to read and parse
  JSON from a file. Refer to guides on your preferred programming language for

## 2. Initialize SDK client

The next step is to configure the Box SDK with the configuration and then
initialize the client to connect as the application.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var sdk = new BoxJWTAuth(config);
  var token = sdk.AdminToken();
  BoxClient client = sdk.AdminClient(token);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(config);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client = Client(config)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var sdk = BoxSDK.getPreconfiguredInstance(config);
  var client = sdk.getAppAuthClient("enterprise");
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  **Service Accounts**

  At this point the application is authenticated as an application user, not as
  a managed or app user. Head over to our guide on <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">User
  Types</Link> to learn more about the different types
  of users.

  **Summary**

  By now the application should be able to authorize an application using JWT
  with any of our official SDKs, by using the following steps.

  1. Read the configuration file
  2. Initialize an SDK client

  To learn how to use this client head over to the guide on <Link href="/guides/api-calls">Making API
  calls</Link>.

# JWT without SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/jwt/without-sdk



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

This guide takes you through JWT authentication without using a Box SDK.
JWT does not require end-user interaction and is designed to authenticate
directly with the Box API.

To learn how to use this token visit our guide on <Link href="/guides/api-calls">making API
calls</Link>.

<Note>
  By default, the Access Token acquired with JWT is tied to the Service
  Account for the application. Any API call made with this token will come
  from the application. This account does not have access to any existing files
  or folders until the application's Service Account is added as a collaborator.

  It is possible to <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/as-user">act as another user</Link>
  using the `as-user` header or by requesting a
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/user-access-tokens">User Access Token</Link>.
</Note>

## Using a key pair

Follow the steps below if you would like to verify your application's identity
using a public and private key pair.

### Prerequisites

* A Platform Application using JWT authentication within the [Developer Console][devconsole]
* A private key configuration file named `config.json`, which can be downloaded from the configuration tab of the [Developer Console][devconsole]
* Ensure your application is <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorized</Link> within the Box Admin Console

### 1. Read JSON configuration

Your `config.json` file contains the application's private key and other
details necessary to authenticate. The following is an example of this file.

```json config.json theme={null}
{
  "boxAppSettings": {
    "clientID": "abc...123",
    "clientSecret": "def...234",
    "appAuth": {
      "publicKeyID": "abcd1234",
      "privateKey": "-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\n....\n-----END ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----\n",
      "passphrase": "ghi...345"
    }
  },
  "enterpriseID": "1234567"
}
```

To use this object in the application it needs to be read from file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using System;
  using System.IO;
  using Newtonsoft.Json;

  class Config
  {
      public class BoxAppSettings {
          public class AppAuth {
              public string privateKey { get; set; }
              public string passphrase { get; set; }
              public string publicKeyID { get; set; }
          }
          public string clientID { get; set; }
          public string clientSecret { get; set; }
          public AppAuth appAuth { get; set; }

      }
      public string enterpriseID { get; set; }
      public BoxAppSettings boxAppSettings { get; set; }
  }

  var reader = new StreamReader("config.json");
  var json = reader.ReadToEnd();

  var config = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Config>(json);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import java.io.FileReader;

  import com.google.gson.Gson;
  import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;

  class Config {
      class BoxAppSettings {
          class AppAuth {
              String privateKey;
              String passphrase;
              String publicKeyID;
          }

          String clientID;
          String clientSecret;
          AppAuth appAuth;
      }

      BoxAppSettings boxAppSettings;
      String enterpriseID;
  }

  FileReader reader = new FileReader("config.json");

  Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
  Config config = (Config) gson.fromJson(reader, Config.class);
  ```

  ```python Python 3 theme={null}
  import json
  import os

  config = json.load(open('config.json'))
  ```

  ```js Node  theme={null}
  const fs = require("fs");

  const config = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("config.json"));
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require 'json'

  config = JSON.parse(
    File.read('config.json')
  )
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $json = file_get_contents('config.json');
  $config = json_decode($json);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  **Parsing JSON**

  In some programming languages there is more than one way to read and parse
  JSON from a file. Refer to guides on your preferred programming language for
  more complete guides, including error handling.
</Info>

### 2. Decrypt private key

To create the JWT assertion the application needs the private key from the
configuration object. This private key is encrypted and requires a passcode to
unlock. Both the encrypted key and passcode are provided in the configuration
object.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using System.Security.Cryptography;
  using Org.BouncyCastle.OpenSsl;
  using Org.BouncyCastle.Crypto.Parameters;
  using Org.BouncyCastle.Math;

  // https://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/index.html
  class PasswordFinder : IPasswordFinder
  {
      private string password;
      public PasswordFinder(string _password) { password = _password; }
      public char[] GetPassword() { return password.ToCharArray(); }
  }

  var appAuth = config.boxAppSettings.appAuth;
  var stringReader = new StringReader(appAuth.privateKey);
  var passwordFinder = new PasswordFinder(appAuth.passphrase);
  var pemReader = new PemReader(stringReader, passwordFinder);
  var keyParams = (RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters) pemReader.ReadObject();

  public RSA CreateRSAProvider(RSAParameters rp)
  {
      var rsaCsp = RSA.Create();
      rsaCsp.ImportParameters(rp);
      return rsaCsp;
  }

  public RSAParameters ToRSAParameters(RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters privKey)
  {
      RSAParameters rp = new RSAParameters();
      rp.Modulus = privKey.Modulus.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
      rp.Exponent = privKey.PublicExponent.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
      rp.P = privKey.P.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
      rp.Q = privKey.Q.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
      rp.D = ConvertRSAParametersField(privKey.Exponent, rp.Modulus.Length);
      rp.DP = ConvertRSAParametersField(privKey.DP, rp.P.Length);
      rp.DQ = ConvertRSAParametersField(privKey.DQ, rp.Q.Length);
      rp.InverseQ = ConvertRSAParametersField(privKey.QInv, rp.Q.Length);
      return rp;
  }

  public byte[] ConvertRSAParametersField(BigInteger n, int size)
  {
      byte[] bs = n.ToByteArrayUnsigned();
      if (bs.Length == size)
          return bs;
      if (bs.Length > size)
          throw new ArgumentException("Specified size too small", "size");
      byte[] padded = new byte[size];
      Array.Copy(bs, 0, padded, size - bs.Length, bs.Length);
      return padded;
  }

  var key = CreateRSAProvider(ToRSAParameters(keyParams));
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import java.io.StringReader;
  import java.security.PrivateKey;
  import java.security.Security;

  import org.bouncycastle.asn1.pkcs.PrivateKeyInfo;
  import org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider;
  import org.bouncycastle.openssl.PEMParser;
  import org.bouncycastle.openssl.jcajce.JcaPEMKeyConverter;
  import org.bouncycastle.openssl.jcajce.JceOpenSSLPKCS8DecryptorProviderBuilder;
  import org.bouncycastle.operator.InputDecryptorProvider;
  import org.bouncycastle.pkcs.PKCS8EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo;

  // https://www.bouncycastle.org/java.html
  Security.addProvider(new BouncyCastleProvider());

  PEMParser pemParser = new PEMParser(
      new StringReader(config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.privateKey)
  );
  Object keyPair = pemParser.readObject();
  pemParser.close();

  char[] passphrase = config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.passphrase.toCharArray();
  JceOpenSSLPKCS8DecryptorProviderBuilder decryptBuilder =
      new JceOpenSSLPKCS8DecryptorProviderBuilder().setProvider("BC");
  InputDecryptorProvider decryptProvider
      = decryptBuilder.build(passphrase);
  PrivateKeyInfo keyInfo
      = ((PKCS8EncryptedPrivateKeyInfo) keyPair).decryptPrivateKeyInfo(decryptProvider);

  PrivateKey key = (new JcaPEMKeyConverter()).getPrivateKey(keyInfo);
  ```

  ```python Python 3 theme={null}
  from cryptography.hazmat.backends import default_backend
  from cryptography.hazmat.primitives.serialization import load_pem_private_key

  appAuth = config["boxAppSettings"]["appAuth"]
  privateKey = appAuth["privateKey"]
  passphrase = appAuth["passphrase"]

  # https://cryptography.io/en/latest/
  key = load_pem_private_key(
      data=privateKey.encode('utf8'),
      password=passphrase.encode('utf8'),
      backend=default_backend(),
  )
  ```

  ```js Node  theme={null}
  let key = {
      key: config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.privateKey,
      passphrase: config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.passphrase,
  };
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require "openssl"

  appAuth = config['boxAppSettings']['appAuth']
  key = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(
    appAuth['privateKey'],
    appAuth['passphrase']
  )
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $private_key = $config->boxAppSettings->appAuth->privateKey;
  $passphrase = $config->boxAppSettings->appAuth->passphrase;
  $key = openssl_pkey_get_private($private_key, $passphrase);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  **An alternative to loading private key from file**

  the application might not want to keep both the private key and password
  stored on disk. An alternative option would be to pass in the password as an
  environment variable, separating the private key from the token used to unlock
  the key.
</Info>

### 3. Create JWT assertion

To authenticate to the Box API the application needs to create a signed JWT
assertion that can be exchanged for an Access Token.

A JWT assertion is an encrypted JSON object, consisting of a
`header`, `claims`, and `signature`. Let's start by creating the `claims`,
sometimes also referred to as the `payload`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using System.IdentityModel.Tokens.Jwt;
  using System.Security.Claims;
  using System.Collections.Generic;

  byte[] randomNumber = new byte[64];
  RandomNumberGenerator.Create().GetBytes(randomNumber);
  var jti = Convert.ToBase64String(randomNumber);

  DateTime expirationTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(45);

  var claims = new List<Claim>{
      new Claim("sub", config.enterpriseID),
      new Claim("box_sub_type", "enterprise"),
      new Claim("jti", jti),
  };
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import org.jose4j.jwt.JwtClaims;

  String authenticationUrl = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";

  JwtClaims claims = new JwtClaims();
  claims.setIssuer(config.boxAppSettings.clientID);
  claims.setAudience(authenticationUrl);
  claims.setSubject(config.enterpriseID);
  claims.setClaim("box_sub_type", "enterprise");
  claims.setGeneratedJwtId(64);
  claims.setExpirationTimeMinutesInTheFuture(0.75f);
  ```

  ```python Python 3 theme={null}
  import time
  import secrets

  authentication_url = 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token'

  claims = {
      'iss': config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
      'sub': config['enterpriseID'],
      'box_sub_type': 'enterprise',
      'aud': authentication_url,
      'jti': secrets.token_hex(64),
      'exp': round(time.time()) + 45
  }
  ```

  ```js Node  theme={null}
  const crypto = require("crypto");

  const authenticationUrl = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";

  let claims = {
      iss: config.boxAppSettings.clientID,
      sub: config.enterpriseID,
      box_sub_type: "enterprise",
      aud: authenticationUrl,
      jti: crypto.randomBytes(64).toString("hex"),
      exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 45,
  };
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require 'securerandom'

  authentication_url = 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token'

  claims = {
    iss: config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
    sub: config['enterpriseID'],
    box_sub_type: 'enterprise',
    aud: authentication_url,
    jti: SecureRandom.hex(64),
    exp: Time.now.to_i + 45
  }
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $authenticationUrl = 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token';

  $claims = [
    'iss' => $config->boxAppSettings->clientID,
    'sub' => $config->enterpriseID,
    'box_sub_type' => 'enterprise',
    'aud' => $authenticationUrl,
    'jti' => base64_encode(random_bytes(64)),
    'exp' => time() + 45,
    'kid' => $config->boxAppSettings->appAuth->publicKeyID
  ];
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Parameter                | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `iss`, required          | String  | The Box Application's OAuth client ID                                                                                                                                        |
| `sub`, required          | String  | The Box Enterprise ID if this app is to act on behalf of the Service Account of that application, or the User ID if this app wants to act on behalf of another user.         |
| `box_sub_type`, required | String  | `enterprise` or `user` depending on the type of token being requested in the `sub` claim                                                                                     |

| `jti`, required          | String  | A universally unique identifier specified by the application for this JWT. A unique string of at least 16 characters and at most 128 characters.                             |
| `exp`, required          | Integer | The Unix time when this JWT is to expire. Can be set to a maximum value of 60 seconds beyond the issue time. It is recommended to set this to less than the maximum allowed. |
| `iat`, optional          | Integer | Issued at time. The token cannot be used before this time.                                                                                                                   |
| `nbf`, optional          | Integer | Not before. Not Specifies when the token will start being valid.                                                                                                             |

Next, these claims need to be signed using the private key. Depending on the
language and library used, the `header` of the JWT is configured by defining the
encryption algorithm and the ID of the public key used to sign the claims.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;

  String authenticationUrl = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";

  var payload = new JwtPayload(
      config.boxAppSettings.clientID,
      authenticationUrl,
      claims,
      null,
      expirationTime
  );

  var credentials = new SigningCredentials(
      new RsaSecurityKey(key),
      SecurityAlgorithms.RsaSha512
  );
  var header = new JwtHeader(signingCredentials: credentials);

  var jst = new JwtSecurityToken(header, payload);
  var tokenHandler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();
  string assertion = tokenHandler.WriteToken(jst);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import org.jose4j.jws.AlgorithmIdentifiers;
  import org.jose4j.jws.JsonWebSignature;

  JsonWebSignature jws = new JsonWebSignature();
  jws.setPayload(claims.toJson());
  jws.setKey(key);

  jws.setAlgorithmHeaderValue(AlgorithmIdentifiers.RSA_USING_SHA512);
  jws.setHeader("typ", "JWT");
  jws.setHeader("kid", config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.publicKeyID);
  String assertion = jws.getCompactSerialization();
  ```

  ```python Python 3 theme={null}
  import jwt

  keyId = config['boxAppSettings']['appAuth']['publicKeyID']

  assertion = jwt.encode(
      claims,
      key,
      algorithm='RS512',
      headers={
          'kid': keyId
      }
  )
  ```

  ```js Node  theme={null}
  const jwt = require("jsonwebtoken");

  let keyId = config.boxAppSettings.appAuth.publicKeyID;

  let headers = {
      algorithm: "RS512",
      keyid: keyId,
  };

  let assertion = jwt.sign(claims, key, headers);
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  require 'jwt'
  keyId = appAuth['publicKeyID']
  assertion = JWT.encode(claims, key, 'RS512', { kid: keyId })
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  use \Firebase\JWT\JWT;
  $assertion = JWT::encode($claims, $key, 'RS512');
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For the header the following parameters are supported.

| Parameter             | Type   | Description                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `algorithm`, required | String | The encryption algorithm used to sign the JWT claim. This can be one of RS256, RS384, or RS512.                                       |
| `keyid`, required     | String | The ID of the public key used to sign the JWT. Not required, though essential when multiple key pairs are defined for an application. |

<Info>
  Using JWT libraries

  Signing your own JWT can be a complicated and painful process. Luckily, the
  hard work has already been done for you and libraries exist in pretty much
  every language. Head over to <Link href="https://jwt.io/">JWT.io</Link> for an overview.
</Info>

### 4. Request Access Token

The final step is to exchange the short lived JWT assertion for a more long
lived Access Token by calling the token endpoint with the
assertion as a parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using System.Net;
  using System.Net.Http;

  var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
  {
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
          "grant_type", "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer"),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
          "assertion", assertion),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
          "client_id", config.boxAppSettings.clientID),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>(
          "client_secret", config.boxAppSettings.clientSecret)
  });

  var client = new HttpClient();
  var response = client.PostAsync(authenticationUrl, content).Result;

  class Token
  {
      public string access_token { get; set; }
  }

  var data = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
  var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Token>(data);
  var accessToken = token.access_token;
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import java.util.ArrayList;
  import java.util.List;

  import org.apache.http.HttpEntity;
  import org.apache.http.NameValuePair;
  import org.apache.http.client.entity.UrlEncodedFormEntity;
  import org.apache.http.client.methods.CloseableHttpResponse;
  import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
  import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient;
  import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClientBuilder;
  import org.apache.http.message.BasicNameValuePair;
  import org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils;

  List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(
      "grant_type", "urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer"));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(
      "assertion", assertion));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(
      "client_id", config.boxAppSettings.clientID));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair(
      "client_secret", config.boxAppSettings.clientSecret));

  CloseableHttpClient httpClient =
      HttpClientBuilder.create().disableCookieManagement().build();
  HttpPost request = new HttpPost(authenticationUrl);
  request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
  CloseableHttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(request);
  HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();
  String response = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
  httpClient.close();

  class Token {
      String access_token;
  }

  Token token = (Token) gson.fromJson(response, Token.class);
  String accessToken = token.access_token;
  ```

  ```python Python 3 theme={null}
  import json
  import requests

  params = {
      'grant_type': 'urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:jwt-bearer',
      'assertion': assertion,
      'client_id': config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
      'client_secret': config['boxAppSettings']['clientSecret']
  }
  response = requests.post(authentication_url, params)
  access_token = response.json()['access_token']
  ```

  ```js Node  theme={null}
  const axios = require("axios");
  const querystring = require("querystring");

  let accessToken = await axios
      .post(
          authenticationUrl,

# As-User Header
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/as-user



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

It is possible to for an OAuth 2.0 application to act on behalf of another user
through the `as-user` header.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0 \
    -H "as-user: [USER_ID]"
    -H "authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]"
```

<Info>
  In this situation the user ID is the Box identifier for a user. User IDs can be
  found for any user via the `GET /users` endpoint, which is only available to
  admins, or by calling the `GET /users/me` endpoint with an authenticated user session.
</Info>

## Preconditions

Using the `as-user` header has a few requirements. Firstly, the application
needs to be configured to perform actions as users in the [Developer
Console][devconsole].

<Frame>
  <img alt="Advanced Features" />
</Frame>

Additionally, the authenticated user needs to be a user with admin permissions,
meaning either an admin, co-admin, or service account. Co-admin users will also
need the 'Manage Users' permission scope. See our guide on [User
Types](/guides/getting-started/users) for more details.

## as-user using SDKs

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var user_client = new BoxClient(config, session, asUser: '[USER_ID]');
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  client.asUser([USER_ID]");
  // client.asSelf();
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  user_to_impersonate = client.user(user_id='[USER_ID]')
  user_client = client.as_user(user_to_impersonate)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.asUser('[USER_ID]');
  // client.asSelf();
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Please note that some of our SDKs create new clients for the other user, while
  others modify the existing client and provide a way to return to a state where
  the client authenticates for the original user itself.

# OAuth 2.0 Auth
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/index



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Client-side OAuth 2.0 is one of the easiest ways to authenticate a user for the
Box API. It is an [open standard](https://oauth.net/2/) designed to allow users
to provide applications access to their data in other applications.

If you've ever logged in to a website with Twitter, Facebook, or Google you've
most likely used OAuth 2.0.

<Frame>
  <img alt="the OAuth 2.0 flow" />
</Frame>

Client-side authentication on Box has a similar flow where a user is redirected
from an application to the Box web app, required to log in, and grant the
application access to the user's data.

## When to use OAuth 2.0

Client-side authentication is the ideal authentication method for apps that:

* Work with users that already have existing Box accounts
* Want or require users to know that they are using Box
* Want to store data within the user's Box account and not within the application's Box account

  A free developer account gives you access to the Developer Console, where you can create an OAuth 2.0 application and start authenticating users in minutes.

# Setup with OAuth 2.0
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/oauth2-setup



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A Platform App can be set up to use client-side <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> authentication.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/oauth2")} title="Learn how OAuth 2.0 authentication works" />

## Prerequisites

To set up a Platform App using OAuth 2.0 authentication, you will need to ensure
you have access the [Developer Console][devconsole] from your Box enterprise
account. Alternatively, you may sign up for a [developer account][devaccount].

<SignupCTA>
  Don't have a Box account yet? A free developer account gives you access to the Developer Console, where you can create and configure OAuth 2.0 applications.
</SignupCTA>

## App creation steps

### Create an OAuth 2.0 app

1. Log into Box and go to the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Click **New App**.
3. Select **User** as the app type.
4. Click **Create**.

<Warning>
  Once you create an OAuth 2.0 app, you cannot change it to Server
  Authentication (or the other way around). If you need Server Authentication,
  create a new app and select **Server** instead.
</Warning>

## Basic configuration

Before the application can be used, some additional configuration is
required.

### Redirect URI

During the OAuth 2.0 flow, users are redirected to their browser to
authenticate and then authorize the application to take actions on their behalf.

Prior to redirecting the user, Box verifies that the `redirect_uri` parameter
passed into the <Link href="/reference/get-authorize/#param-redirect_uri">authorization URL</Link> matches one of the redirect
URIs configured for the application. This will be an exact match check, meaning
the URIs must be exactly the same. Localhost and loopback address redirect URIs
will be permitted redirect to any port, but the scheme, domain, path and query
parameters must match one of the configured URIs.

You can configure these under the OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI section on the
Configuration page in the developer console. These must be valid URIs that are
HTTPS, or a less secure HTTP for localhost or loopback address. We do not
permit duplicate URIs to be saved.

<Warning>
  Starting November 29, 2021, new applications using OAuth 2.0 will
  require the URIs set in the configuration tab of the Developer Console to
  strictly match the one used during redirect. In addition, both new and
  existing applications, will gain the ability to add multiple redirect URIs.

  If you configured multiple redirect URIs for the application,
  the authorization URL must include the `redirect_uri` parameter matching one
  of the URIs configured in the developer console.
  If the parameter is not specified, the user will see a `redirect_uri_missing`
  error and will not be redirected back to the app after granting application
  access.

  For existing applications, the deadline to make changes to this URL to avoid
  service disruption is May 13, 2022.
</Warning>

<Frame>
  <img alt="App name form" />
</Frame>

### Application Scopes

Scopes define what permissions your application has in order to access data. See
the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes guide</Link> for detailed information on each option.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App name form" />
</Frame>

### CORS Domains

If your application makes API calls from front-end browser code in
Javascript, the domain that these calls are made from will need to be
added to an allow-list due to [Cross Origin Resource Sharing][cors],
also known as CORS. If all requests will be made from server-side code,
you may skip this section.

To add the full URI(s) to the allow-list, navigate to the **CORS Domain**
section at the bottom of the **Configuration** tab in the
[Developer Console][devconsole].

# OAuth 2.0 with SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box SDKs have built-in support for client-side OAuth 2.0.

In the process a user is redirected to the Box web app in a browser where they
log in and authorize the application access to their data before they are
redirected back to the applications `redirect_url`. This last step requires the
application to be running on a web server somewhere accessible to the user.

## Overview

To complete an OAuth 2.0 flow the following steps need to be completed.

1. Configure the Box SDK
2. Redirect the user to the Box website
3. The user grants the application access
4. Exchange the authorization code for an access token

At the end of this flow, the application has an Access Token that can be used to
make API calls on behalf of this user.

<Note>
  The access token acquired through OAuth 2.0 is inherently tied to the user who
  authorized the application. Any API call made with this token will seem to
  come from this application, and the user needs to have access to any file or
  folder the application tries to access with this token.
</Note>

## Parameters

| Parameter       | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CLIENT_ID`     | The client ID or API key for the application                                                                                                                  |
| `CLIENT_SECRET` | The client secret or API secret for the application                                                                                                           |
| `REDIRECT_URI`  | The redirect URL for your application that a user will be sent to after they have authorized the application. This can be configured in the developer console |

## 1. Configure SDK

The first step is to make sure your environment has been prepared with the SDK of
your choice.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var redirectUrl = "[REDIRECT_URI]";
  var config = new BoxConfig("[CLIENT_ID]", "[CLIENT_SECRET]", new Uri(redirectUrl));
  var sdk = new BoxClient(config);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  import com.box.sdk.BoxAPIConnection;

  String authorizationUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code";
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from boxsdk import OAuth2, Client

  auth = OAuth2(
      client_id='[CLIENT_ID]',
      client_secret='[CLIENT_SECRET]'
  )
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var BoxSDK = require("box-node-sdk");

  var sdk = new BoxSDK({
      clientID: "[CLIENT_ID]",
      clientSecret: "[CLIENT_SECRET]",
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/tooling/sdks")} title="Learn more about installing an SDK for your environment" />

## 2. Redirect user

Next, redirect the user to the authorization URL. Most of the SDKs support a
way to get the authorization URL for an SDK client.

<Warning>
  If you configured multiple redirect URIs for the application, the authorization
  URL must include the `redirect_uri` parameter matching one of the URIs
  configured in the developer console. If the parameter is not specified, the
  user will see a `redirect_uri_missing` error and will not be redirected back to
  the app after granting application access.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var authorizationUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code";
  // redirectTo(authorizationUrl);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String authorizationUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&response_type=code";

  // response.redirect(authorizationUrl);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  auth_url, csrf_token = auth.get_authorization_url('[REDIRECT_URL]')

  // redirect(auth_url, code=302)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var authorize_url = sdk.getAuthorizeURL({
      response_type: "code",
  });

  // res.redirect(authorize_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  The way in which a user is redirected to a URL depends on the application
  framework used. Most framework documentation provides extensive guidance on
  this topic.
</Info>

The <Link href="/reference/get-authorize">authorization URL</Link> can also be created manually
as follows.

```sh theme={null}
https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&redirect_uri=[REDIRECT_URI]&response_type=code
```

<Info>
  Additional query parameters can be passed along when redirecting the user to
  limit down the scope, or pass along some extra state. See the [reference
  documentation](/reference/get-authorize) for more information.
</Info>

## 3. User grants application access

Once the user is redirected to the Box web app they will have to log in. After
they logged in they are presented with a screen to approve your application.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Example OAuth 2.0 approval screen" />
</Frame>

When the user accepts this requests and clicks the button, the browser will
redirect to your application's redirect URL as configured in the developer console.

## 4. Exchange code

The user is redirected to your application's redirect URL with a query parameter
containing a short-lived authorization code.

```sh theme={null}
https://your.domain.com/path?code=1234567
```

This code is not an <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/access-tokens">Access Token</Link> and is only valid for a few seconds.
The SDKs can be used to exchange the code for an actual Access Token.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var session = await sdk.Auth.AuthenticateAsync("[CODE]");
  var client = new BoxClient(config, session);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  BoxAPIConnection client = new BoxAPIConnection(
      "[CLIENT_ID]",
      "[CLIENT_SECRET]",
      "[CODE]"
  );
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  auth.authenticate('[CODE]')
  client = Client(auth)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var code = "...";

  sdk.getTokensAuthorizationCodeGrant("[CODE]", null, function (err, tokenInfo) {
      var client = sdk.getPersistentClient(tokenInfo);
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

At the end of this flow, the application has an Access Token that can be used to
make API calls on behalf of this user.

# OAuth 2.0 without SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/oauth2/without-sdk



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

## Overview

While leveraging an official Box SDK removes common hurdles of authentication,
it is possible to use the Box APIs without one. This guide reviews the steps to
manually complete the OAuth 2.0 flow.

1. Build the authorization URL
2. Redirect the user to the authorization URL
3. The user grants the application access to take actions on their behalf, which, if successful, provides an authorization code
4. Redirect the user back to the application
5. Exchange the authorization code for an Access Token

At the end of this flow, the application has an <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/access-tokens">Access Token</Link>, which
can be used to make API calls on behalf of the user.

<Note>
  The Access Token acquired through the OAuth 2.0 flow is inherently tied to the
  user who authorized the application.

  It is possible to <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/as-user">act as another user</Link>
  using the `as-user` header.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Before continuing you will need to complete the following steps:

* Create a Platform App within the Box Developer Console, which leverages the OAuth 2.0 authentication method.
* Navigate to the configuration tab for the application to copy the `client_id` and `client_secret` values.
* Ensure at least one redirect URI is configured in the configuration tab for the application.

## 1. Build authorization URL

An <Link href="/reference/get-authorize">authorization URL</Link> is comprised of the following parameters:

| Parameter                                                                         | Status      | Description                                                                                            |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| <Link href="/reference/get-authorize/#param-client_id">`CLIENT_ID`</Link>         | Required    | Obtained from the configuration tab of the Developer Console                                           |
| <Link href="/reference/get-authorize/#param-redirect_uri">`REDIRECT_URI`</Link>   | Optional    | Configured in the Developer Console and where the user is sent once granting access to the application |
| <Link href="/reference/get-authorize/#param-response_type">`RESPONSE_TYPE`</Link> | Required    | Always set to `code`                                                                                   |
| <Link href="/reference/get-authorize/#param-state">`STATE`</Link>                 | Recommended | Protects against cross-site request forgery                                                            |

<Warning>
  If you configured multiple redirect URIs for the application, the authorization
  URL must include the `redirect_uri` parameter matching one of the URIs
  configured in the developer console. If the parameter is not specified, the
  user will see a `redirect_uri_missing` error and will not be redirected back to
  the app.
</Warning>

At the minimum this URL will always use the format:

`https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize`?`client_id=CLIENTIDHERE`&`response_type=code`

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var baseUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize";
  var clientId = "[CLIENT_ID]";
  var authorizationUrl = $"{baseUrl}?client_id={clientId}&response_type=code";
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String baseUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize";
  String clientId = "[CLIENT_ID]";
  String authorizationUrl = String.format("%s?client_id=%s&response_type=code", baseUrl, clientId);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  base_url = 'https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize'
  client_id = '[CLIENT_ID]'
  authorizationUrl = f'{base_url}?client_id=${client_id}&response_type=code'
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var baseUrl = "https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize";
  var clientId = "[CLIENT_ID]";
  var authorizationUrl = `${baseUrl}?client_id=${clientId}&response_type=code`;
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Card href={localizeLink("/reference/get-authorize")} title="Learn more about the authorization URL" />

## 2. Redirect the user

Next, redirect the user to the authorization URL. The way this is done depends
on the application framework. Most framework documentation provides extensive
guidance on this topic.

If the authorization URL is not valid for the app specified, the user will see
an error page rather than a grant access screen. For example, if the
`redirect_uri` parameter in the authorization URL does not match one of the URIs
configured for your app, the user will see a `redirect_uri_mismatch` error.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var authorizationUrl = $"{baseUrl}?client_id={clientId}&response_type=code";
  // redirectTo(authorizationUrl);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String authorizationUrl = String.format("%s?client_id=%s&response_type=code", baseUrl, clientId);

  // response.redirect(authorizationUrl);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  auth_url = f'{base_url}?client_id=${client_id}&response_type=code'
  // redirect(auth_url, code=302)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var authorizationUrl = `${baseUrl}?client_id=${clientId}&response_type=code`;
  // res.redirect(authorize_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Additional query parameters can be passed along when redirecting the user to
  limit down the scope, or pass along some extra state. See the authorization
  reference documentation for more information.
</Info>

## 3. User grants application access

The user is redirected to their browser to log in to their account using the Box
UI. They are then presented with the list of requested scopes and the option to
approve the application to take actions on their behalf.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Example OAuth 2.0 approval screen" />
</Frame>

When the user accepts this request by clicking **Grant access to Box**, the
browser will redirect to the configured redirect URL with a query parameter
containing a short-lived authorization code.

<Warning>
  If you configured multiple redirect URIs for the application, the authorization
  URL must include the `redirect_uri` parameter matching one of the URIs
  configured in the developer console. If the parameter is not specified, the
  user will see a `redirect_uri_missing` error and will not be redirected back to
  the app.
</Warning>

```sh theme={null}
https://your.domain.com/path?code=1234567
```

## 4. Exchange code

The provided authorization code is <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/expiration">valid for 30 seconds</Link> and must be
exchanged for an <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">Access Token</Link> before expiration.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  using System.Net;
  using System.Net.Http;
  using Newtonsoft.Json;

  String authenticationUrl = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";
  var client = new HttpClient();

  var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
  {
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "authorization_code"),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>("code", "[CODE]"),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_id", "[CLIENT_ID]"),
      new KeyValuePair<string, string>("client_secret", "[CLIENT_SECRET]")
  });

  var response = client.PostAsync(authenticationUrl, content).Result;

  class Token
  {
      public string access_token { get; set; }
  }

  var data = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
  var token = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Token>(data);
  var accessToken = token.access_token;
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String authenticationUrl = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";

  List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();

  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("grant_type", "authorization_code"));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("code", "[CODE]"));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("client_id", "[CLIENT_ID]"));
  params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("client_secret", "[CLIENT_SECRET]"));

  CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().disableCookieManagement().build();

  HttpPost request = new HttpPost(authenticationUrl);
  request.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));

  CloseableHttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(request);
  HttpEntity entity = httpResponse.getEntity();

  String response = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
  httpClient.close();

  class Token {
      String access_token;
  }

  Token token = (Token) gson.fromJson(response, Token.class);
  String accessToken = token.access_token;
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  authentication_url = "https://api.box.com/oauth2/token";

  params = urlencode({
      'grant_type': 'authorization_code',
      'code': '[CODE]',
      'client_id': '[CLIENT_ID]',
      'client_secret': '[CLIENT_SECRET]'

# Box API & SSO
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/sso



Many Box Enterprises use **Single Sign On** (SSO) to authenticate
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">Managed Users</Link> logging in to Box. The way an application built on
Box interacts with an SSO provider depends on the type of application
being built.

## Platform Apps with Client-side Authentication

When users authenticate with a <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">Platform App</Link> configured to use
<Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> Box will detect if the enterprise is configured to use SSO.
If it is, Box will redirect the user to their browser and display the
enterprise's configured SSO log-in screen.

### SSO Enabled vs Required

Enterprises can configure their SSO in one of two ways: **SSO Required**
or **SSO Enabled**.

When SSO is enabled but not required, managed users will have the option to
either:

* log in with a Box username and password
* log in with their SSO provider

When SSO is enabled and required, Box will force all managed users to log in
with their enterprise's configured SSO provider. In this case, any
user that tries to log in must be configured on the SSO side, in addition to
having a Box account matching the email address passed via SAML.

<Warning>
  It is not possible to exempt a user from SSO in an enterprise with SSO
  set to required, even if it is only used for platform use cases.
</Warning>

## Platform Apps with Server-side Authentication

For <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">Platform Apps</Link> that use <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup">JWT</Link>,
SSO is not used to authenticate with Box.

Platform Apps using server-side authentication only use server-to-server API
calls to communicate with Box. In this scenario, the way in which an end user
is authenticated is determined by the application and not by Box.

In other words, end user authentication with the application is determined by
the application, while application's authorization to Box is a different
matter completely.

In these use cases the application authenticates not as a regular Managed User
but as a Service Account or App User. These user types do not have access to any
Managed User's data by default. For these applications to have access to other
Managed User's data they will need explicit <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">admin approval</Link>.

# Access Tokens
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/access-tokens



Instead of a user name and password, Access Tokens are the credentials used to
represent the authenticated user to the Box servers.

## Token Object

### OAuth 2.0 authentication

When an Access Token is requested using OAuth 2.0, an Access Token and Refresh
Token pair are returned.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/oauth2/token \
    -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
    -d '...'
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "access_token": "c3FIOG9vSGV4VHo4QzAyg5T1JvNnJoZ3ExaVNyQWw6WjRsanRKZG5lQk9qUE1BVQ",
  "expires_in": 3600,
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "refresh_token": "c3FIOG9vSGV4VHo4QzAyg5T1JvNnJoZ3ExaVNyQWw6WjRsanRKZG5lQk9qUE1BVQ",
  "issued_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token"
}
```

Within this object we can see the token string (`access_token`), as well
as the Refresh Token (`refresh_token`) that can be used to request a new Access
Token when the current one expires (`expires_in`).

### Server authentication

When an Access Token is requested using JWT or Client Credentials Grant, only an
Access Token is returned:

```sh theme={null}
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.box.com/oauth2/token' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
    --data-urlencode '...'
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "access_token": "DkXZmsjUKizvL2z0WiaLvMBeQ756XCGGf",
  "expires_in": 4123,
  "restricted_to": [],
  "issued_token_type": "bearer"
}
```

Within this object we can see the token string (`access_token`).
Because a Refresh Token is not returned, you must request a new token when the
Access Token expires (`expires_in`) using the <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">token endpoint</Link>.


# Annotator Tokens
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/annotator-tokens



Annotations is one of the key features supported by new Box View, that allows
developers to provide collaboration capabilities right from within the embedded
Box preview in their application.

Box View supports three annotation types: highlight only, highlight
annotation, and point annotation. Annotations are only supported on document
and image previews.

<Frame>
  <img alt="How annotator tokens work" />
</Frame>

## What is an Annotator Token

An Annotator Token is an Access Token that allows an application to create a
Preview Embed Link for a file that a user can make annotations on. As an
application might not create a new App User for every one of the application's
users, the Annotator token allows the application to track which of their
own users made the annotations.

The Annotator Token is used instead of a regular Access Token or File
Token to generate a preview session (an expiring embed link) that is linked to a
unique user ID and display name.

<Warning>
  Since a preview session generated using an annotator token is tied to a
  specific external user, it is strongly recommended that an application
  generates different preview sessions using different annotator tokens for
  different end users of an application.
</Warning>

## External user info

The external display name associated with an annotation is essentially a
stateless "label" appended to the annotation. This means that once an annotation
has been added, the display name is permanently associated with the annotation
and cannot be updated unless the annotation is deleted and added again with the
updated display name.

## Create without SDKs

To create an annotator token, follow the instructions for [manually
authenticating through JWT](/guides/authentication/jwt/without-sdk) but replace the
JWT claim with the following data.

<CodeGroup>
  ```csharp .Net theme={null}
  var claims = new List<Claim>{
      new Claim("sub", '[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]'),
      new Claim("name", '[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]'),
      new Claim("box_sub_type", "external"),
      new Claim("jti", jti),
  };
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  JwtClaims claims = new JwtClaims();
  claims.setIssuer(config.boxAppSettings.clientID);
  claims.setAudience(authenticationUrl);
  claims.setSubject("[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]");
  claims.setName("[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]");
  claims.setClaim("box_sub_type", "external");
  claims.setGeneratedJwtId(64);
  claims.setExpirationTimeMinutesInTheFuture(0.75f);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  claims = {
      'iss': config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
      'sub': '[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]',
      'name': '[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]',
      'box_sub_type': 'external',
      'aud': authentication_url,
      'jti': secrets.token_hex(64),
      'exp': round(time.time()) + 45
  }
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  let claims = {
      iss: config.boxAppSettings.clientID,
      sub: "[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]",
      name: "[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]",
      box_sub_type: "external",
      aud: authenticationUrl,
      jti: crypto.randomBytes(64).toString("hex"),
      exp: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 45
  };
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  claims = {
    iss: config['boxAppSettings']['clientID'],
    sub: "[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]",
    name: "[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]",
    box_sub_type: 'external',
    aud: authentication_url,
    jti: SecureRandom.hex(64),
    exp: Time.now.to_i + 45
  }
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $claims = [
    'iss' => $config->boxAppSettings->clientID,
    'sub' => '[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]',
    'name' => '[EXTERNAL_USER_DISPLAY_NAME]',
    'box_sub_type' => 'external',
    'aud' => $authenticationUrl,
    'jti' => base64_encode(random_bytes(64)),
    'exp' => time() + 45,
    'kid' => $config->boxAppSettings->appAuth->publicKeyID
  ];
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Parameter      | Type   | Description                                                                                             |
| -------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `sub`          | String | The external user ID to tie this annotation to. This can be any arbitrary ID tracked by the application |
| `box_sub_type` | String | `external` to signify an external user ID                                                               |
| `box_sub_type` | String | The external user name to tie this annotation to. This will be displayed in the Box UI                  |

Then, convert this claim to an assertion according to the guide and pass this
assertion to the <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">`POST /oauth2/token`</Link>
endpoint together with an existing valid Access Token or File Token,
as well as a set of scopes, and the resource for which to create the token.

active token for another token.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={null}
  var options = {
      actor: {
          id: "[EXTERNAL_USER_ID]",

# Use a Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/api-calls



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Every authenticated API call requires an Access Token to be passed in the
`Authorization` header as a `Bearer Token` or it will return a `401 Unauthorized`
HTTP status.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me \
    -H "authorization: Bearer EGmDmRVfhfHsqesn5yVYHAqUkD0dyDfk"
```

<Info>
  Use the <Link href="/reference/get-users-id">`GET /users/me`</Link> endpoint to inspect what
  user an Access Token is authenticated for.

# Developer Tokens
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A Developer Token is an Access Token available to developers during development
and testing. These tokens are short lived, as they expire after 60 minutes, and
cannot be refreshed programmatically.

## Create Developer Token

To create a Developer Token for an application:

* Navigate to the Box [Developer Console][devconsole] and select the application to create a Developer Token for.
* Select the **Configuration** tab.
* Under Developer Token, select **Generate Developer Token**.

<Info>
  You can also generate a Developer Token directly from <Link href="/guides/applications">My Platform Apps</Link>
  view, using the menu available for each app.
</Info>

<Frame>
  <img alt="Generating a Developer Token" />
</Frame>

## Using Developer Token

A Developer Token can be used like any Access Token in the `Authorization`
header of an API call.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me \
    -H "authorization: Bearer [DEVELOPER_TOKEN]"
```

<Warning>
  A Developer Token is associated with the user that is logged in to the
  Developer Console when the token is generated.
</Warning>

Our SDKs can be initialized with a Developer Token to create a basic API client.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me \
    -H "authorization: Bearer [DEVELOPER_TOKEN]"
```

<Danger>
  **Developer tokens should not be used in production environments**

  Developer Tokens should only be used for development or testing purposes.
</Danger>

<Warning>
  When you explicitly revoke a developer token for a given app via the
  Developer console, all webhooks created by that application get deleted.
</Warning>

# Downscope a Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Downscoping is a way to exchange an existing Access Token for a new one that is
more restricted.

## Reasons to downscope

An application might need to share the Access Token with an
environment that it does not fully control. A common example of this would be
when using Box UI Elements in a web browser.

When an application needs to pass an Access Token to the browser there is a
potential security risk that needs to be resolved. In order to limit this risk the
Access Token can be exchanged for a new token with much stricter permissions.

## High-level overview

A downscoped token is a token that has fewer permissions (scopes) than the
original token, as well as the optional additional restriction to only allow
access to a specific file.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Downscoping overview" />
</Frame>

The new token takes the permissions of the original token and restricts them
to the tokens passed in, as well as the resource provided.

## Downscoping in practice

To downscope a token, pass the `POST /oauth2/token` endpoint an existing Access
Token, a list of scopes, as well as an optional file URL to restrict the token to.

## Downscoped Access Token Object

A downscoped Access Token returned by the `POST /oauth2/token` endpoint contains
extra information on the specific restrictions.

```json theme={null}
{
  "access_token": "1!DgsZ6V9kMWZu2StrxwQDF5BudQNen-xUmU2cfcVKArE....",
  "expires_in": 4175,
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "restricted_to": [
    {
      "scope": "item_preview",
      "object": {
        "type": "folder",
        "id": "1234567890",
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "etag": "0",
        "name": "Test"
      }
    }
  ],
  "issued_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token"
}
```

Most importantly here is the list of `restricted_to` entries that will contain
each combination of `object` and `scope` that the new token has the permissions for.

<Warning>
  A downscoped token does not include a refresh token. To get a new downscoped
  token, refresh the original refresh token and use that new token to get a
  downscoped token.

# Tokens
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/index



At the core of every Box API call is an Access Token.
Similar to using the Box Web App, you will only be able to successfully interact
with content the user associated with the Access Token either a collaborator on
or owns. This can be further restricted by <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoping</Link> a token.

<Warning>
  Required access scopes, application access, enabled advanced settings, user
  permissions, and endpoint-specific restrictions all work together to determine
  which API calls will be successful. For example, even if a user has
  collaborator access to a folder, a call to get information about the folder
  will not be successful if the read scope is not granted to the application.
</Warning>

## Types of tokens

| Type                                                                               | Duration           |

# Refresh a Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/refresh



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

An Access Token can be refreshed by using the Refresh Token that came with the
Access Token. This can be done before or after the Access Token expires.

To do this, the application passes the `refresh_token` to the [`POST
/oauth2/token`](/reference/post-oauth2-token) endpoint as follows.

<Info>
  **Usage in SDKs**

  All of the Box SDKs support automatic Access Token renewal for JWT and OAuth 2.0
  applications.
</Info>

<Danger>
  **Refresh token expiration**

  A Refresh Token is valid for 60 days and can be used to obtain a new Access
  Token and Refresh Token only once. If the Access Token and Refresh Token are
  not refreshed within 60 days, the user will need to be re-authorized.

  Every time an application uses the Refresh Token to get a new Access Token the
  Refresh Token is invalidated and a new Refresh Token is returned with the
  new Access Token.

  This new Refresh Token is then again only valid for 1 use within 60 days.
</Danger>

# Revoke a Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/revoke



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

An Access Token can be revoked at any time by either sending the Access Token or
Refresh Token the <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-revoke">`POST /oauth2/revoke`</Link> endpoint.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/oauth2/revoke" \
       -H "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
       -d "client_id=[CLIENT_ID]" \
       -d "client_secret=[CLIENT_SECRET]" \
       -d "token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await auth.revokeTokens();
  // client's tokens have been revoked
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.revokeTokens("<TOKEN>")
  	.then(() => {
  		// the client's access token have been revoked
  	});
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  **Usage in SDKs**

  All of the Box SDKs support manually revoking the current Access Token
  associated with the client. To revoke a specific token, first initialize a new
  SDK with that token and then call the relevant revoke method.
</Info>

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED APIS" />


# Using in SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authentication/tokens/sdks



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The SDKs have direct support for JWT and OAuth 2.0 authentication, yet in some
cases your application might need to provide an Access Token to the SDK directly.

## Developer Token

Similarly, developer tokens can be used directly in SDKs without needing any
further SDK configuration.

# Authorization
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authorization/index



Some applications require explicit Admin authorization before use with an
enterprise. The steps an Admin needs to take are dependent on the
developer-selected authentication method and enabled enterprise settings.

## Authentication methods

The following <Link href="/guides/authentication/select">authentication methods</Link> always require explicit Admin
authorization:

* <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">Server Authentication (with JWT)</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Server Authentication (with Client Credentials Grant)</Link>

These authentication methods automatically generate a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>.
With the right <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link> enabled, a Service Account can perform many
Admin actions, thus requiring Admin authorization before use.

<Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> apps may also require explicit
Admin authorization based on enabled enterprise settings.

## Enterprise settings

Subsequent steps are required if any of the following enterprise settings are
enabled:

* Enable Integrations by default — navigate to **Admin Console** > **Integrations** > **Platform Apps Manager** > **Platform Apps Settings** button.
* Disable unpublished apps by default - navigate to **Enterprise Settings** > **Platform Apps**

<Tip>
  Published Platform Apps are any applications that can be found under Integrations.
</Tip>

## Required actions

To see what steps an Admin must complete for a given app, review the following
scenarios.

**Disable published third party apps by default**:

# Limited Access App Approval
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authorization/limited-access-approval



Limited Access Integrations are automatically authorized for use in an enterprise upon
creation.

However, if the enterprise setting to
**Require manual Admin authorization for Limited Access Apps** is enabled,
an Admin must preform additional steps.

## Approval Notifications

A semi-automated process to submit an app approval is available in the Developer
Console.

Navigate to the **Authorization** tab for your application in the
[Developer Console][devconsole].

<Frame>
  <img alt="Add and Manage keys" />
</Frame>

Submitting the application for approval will send an email to your
enterprise's Primary Admin to approve the application. More information on this
process is available in our [support article on app authorization][app-auth].

## Manual Approval

The following steps provide instructions on how to manually approve the
application.

### As a developer

1. Navigate to the **Configuration** tab for your application in the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Scroll down to the OAuth 2.0 Credentials section and copy the **Client ID** value to provide to a Box Admin.

Alternatively, hover over the application in the
<Link href="/guides/applications">My Platform Apps</Link> view to look up the **ClientID** and then
copy it using the `copy` button.

<Info>
  **Finding a Box Admin**

  If you don't know your enterprise Admin, go to your Box [Account
  Settings][settings] page and scroll to the bottom. If an admin contact is set
  you should see their contact  information under **Admin Contact**.
</Info>

### As an Admin

As a Box Admin, navigate to the [Admin Console][adminconsole] and
select the **Integrations** > **Platform Apps Manager** > **Add Platform App**

<Frame>
  <img alt="Apps tab" />
</Frame>

In the popup that appears, enter the Client ID for the application that the
developer collected from the **Configuration** tab of the Developer Console.

## Re-authorization on changes

When the application's scopes or access level change the application needs to be
re-authorized. Repeat the process above and request a new Access Token for the
new changes to take effect.

In the same section where the application was initially authorized, an Admin
can re-authorize the application by clicking on the ellipses to the right
of the application name to **Reauthorize App**.

# Platform App Approval
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval



Server authentication applications using <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> or
<Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link> must be authorized before use. For free developer accounts, authorization happens automatically when the app is created. For enterprise accounts, a Box Admin must approve the application.

Unpublished applications using <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> authentication may
require enablement by a Box Admin or Co-Admin if they are <Link href="/guides/security/#enterprise-settings-and-authorization">inactive by default</Link>.

A Box Admin or Co-Admin needs an application's Client ID in order to properly
authorize or enable it in the Admin Console.

<Info>
  Apps created by free developer (Individual) accounts are authorized
  automatically. You can use <Link href="/guides/applications">My Platform Apps</Link> view to quickly look up
  the authorization and enablement status of your application.
</Info>

## One-Click Authorization

JWT and CCG authentication apps can be authorized directly from the
**Configuration** tab in the [Developer Console][devconsole]. This is
a convenient alternative to the methods described below.

### As an Admin or Co-Admin

The authorization process depends on your account type.

**Free developer accounts**: Your app is automatically authorized when you create it. If authorization did not complete, the **Configuration** tab displays a prompt to authorize the app directly.

**Enterprise developers**: After you create the app, the **Configuration** tab prompts you to submit for admin approval.

**Enterprise admins and co-admins**: After you create the app, the **Configuration** tab lets you authorize the app directly.

### As a developer

If you are not a Box Admin or Co-Admin, the Configuration tab displays:
**Submit app for authorization for access to the Enterprise.** Click
**Submit** to send the request. Your admin or co-admin receives an email
notification, and you are notified by email once the request is
approved or denied.

## Approval Notifications

### User authentication apps

A semi-automated process to submit an app approval is available in the Developer
Console for user authentication applications.

Navigate to the **Enablement** tab for your application in the [Developer Console][devconsole].

<Frame>
  <img alt="Enablement tab" />
</Frame>

Submitting the application for approval sends an email to your
enterprise's Primary Admin to approve the application.
When a Box Admin or Co-Admin approves or declines your request,
you receieve an email with the decision.
More information on this process is available in our [support article on app authorization][app-auth].

## Manual Approval

The following steps provide instructions on how to manually approve the
application.

### As a developer

1. Navigate to the **Configuration** tab for your application in the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Scroll down to the OAuth 2.0 Credentials section and copy the **Client ID** value to provide to a Box Admin or Co-Admin.

Alternatively, hover over the application in the
<Link href="/guides/applications">My Platform Apps</Link> view to look up the **ClientID** and then
copy it using the `copy` button.

<Info>
  **Finding a Box Admin**

  If you don't know your enterprise Admin, go to your Box [Account
  Settings][settings] page and scroll to the bottom. If an admin contact is set
  you should see their contact information under "Admin Contact".
</Info>

### As an Admin

1. Navigate to the [Admin Console][adminconsole] and select the **Platform** tab from the left navigation panel.
2. Click the **Platform Apps** tab at the top of your screen.
3. For both Server and User Authentication Apps screens, click the **Add** button in the top right corner to add a new app.
4. Alternatively, you can hover on the row of your desired app and select **...** to authorize and enable apps.

In the popup that appears, enter the client ID for the application that the
developer collected from the **Configuration** tab of the
[Developer Console][devconsole].

## Authorized app limit

When a new enterprise is created, it can authorize up to 10,000 custom apps.

<Info>
  If your enterprise needs to authorize more than 10,000 custom apps, contact
  [Box Support](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?\&referrerPageUrl=) to request an increase.
</Info>

## Re-authorization on changes

When an application's scopes or access level change, the application must be re-authorized for the changes to take effect.

**Free developer accounts**: When you save changes, the app is automatically re-authorized. If re-authorization did not complete, the **Configuration** tab displays a prompt to re-authorize the app.

**Enterprise developers**: After saving changes, submit the app for re-authorization by your Box Admin. The **Configuration** tab displays a prompt if your app's settings differ from the last authorized version.

**Enterprise admins and co-admins**: After saving changes, the **Configuration** tab prompts you to re-authorize the app directly.

Admins can also re-authorize applications by selecting **Platform** from the sidebar of the **Admin Console**, then by clicking the menu next to the application name and selecting **Reauthorize App**.

## File ID

The `id` for any file can be determined by visiting a file in the web
application and copying the `id` from the URL. For example, for the URL
`https://*.app.box.com/file/123` the `file_id` is `123`.

## Additional fields

To get more of the fields for a file, make sure to pass along the `fields`
query parameter.

# Files overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/files/index



Files, together with <Link href="/guides/folders">Folders</Link>, are at the core of the Box API. Files
can be <Link href="/guides/uploads">uploaded</Link> and <Link href="/guides/downloads">downloaded</Link>, as well as hold
important metadata information about the content.


# File limitations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/files/limitations



A few limitations exists when working with files.

## Name restrictions

There are some restrictions to a file's name. Names containing non-printable
ASCII characters, forward and backward slashes (`/`, `\`), and protected names like
`.` and `..` are automatically sanitized by removing the non-allowed characters.


# Folders
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/index



Folders, together with <Link href="/guides/files">Files</Link>, are at the core of the Box API. Folders
can be uploaded and downloaded, as well as hold important metadata information
about the content.

# Create Folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/create



To create a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with a `name` for the
new folder, as well as the `id` of the `parent` folder that you would like to
create the new folder within.

# Single Folders
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/index



The following pages discuss how to do various single folder methods.


# Move Folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/move



To move a folder, update the ID of its parent folder.

## Operation details

This call will return synchronously. This holds true even
for folder moves when the folder contains a large number
of items in all of its descendants. For very large
folders, this means the call could take
minutes or hours to complete and
some parts of the tree are locked during moves.

When moving a folder, part of the file tree will
be locked, mainly the source folder and all of its descendants,
as well as the destination folder.

For the duration of the move you cannot perform
other move, copy, delete, or restore operation
on any of the locked folders.

## Moving a subfolder to a private folder

When moving a collaborated subfolder into a private folder, the `owned_by.id` value has to match the authenticated user making the API request.

If `owned_by.id` does not match the requestor’s user ID, you will get the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors#400-bad-request">`cannot_make_collaborated_subfolder_private`</Link> error.

The Box API doesn’t support changing ownership of a collaborated folder to another user as part of a move operation.

# Rename Folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/rename



To rename a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with a new `name` for
the folder.

<Note>
  **Name restrictions**

  There are some restrictions to the folder name. Names containing non-printable
  ASCII characters, forward and backward slashes (`/`, `\`), as well as names
  with trailing spaces are prohibited.

  Additionally, the names `.` and `..` are reserved names and therefore
  also prohibited.

# Create your first application
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/first-application

Create, configure, and publish (optional) your first application.

After you test Box APIs with the pre-built application in the <Link href="/guides/getting-started">Quick Start</Link>, create your own application in the Developer Console and configure it for your use case.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have:

* A Box developer account with access to the <Link href="https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>
* A sense of how your application runs: as a **server** backend or a **user-facing** app (see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/plan-your-integration#choose-an-application-type">choose an application type</Link>)

<Note>
  On a free developer account, a default CCG application is created and authorized automatically. See <Link href="/guides/getting-started/free-developer-plan#default-application-and-authorization">default application and authorization</Link> on the free developer plan page. The steps below apply when you create additional applications or when an enterprise admin must authorize your app.
</Note>

## Create your first application

1. Go to the <Link href="https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>.
2. Select **New App**.
3. Enter your application name.
4. Choose the application type: **Server** or **User**.
   * **Server**: Select the authentication method: **Client Credentials Grant (CCG)** or **JSON Web Token (JWT)**.
   * **User**: The authentication method is automatically set to **OAuth 2.0**.
5. Select **Create**.

After you create the application, Box opens the **Configuration** tab. Complete the settings in the following sections before you call production APIs.

## Configure the application

On the **Configuration** tab, set the options your application needs:

1. **App Access Level** — Controls whether the app can act only as its service account or also on behalf of enterprise users. See <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials/client-credentials-setup#application-access">Application Access</Link> for Client Credentials Grant apps.
2. **Application Scopes** — Enable only the permissions your app requires. Add scopes before you authorize the app in the Admin Console.
3. **Additional Configuration** — Toggle advanced features such as **Generate User Access Tokens** when your server app must act as a specific user.
4. **CORS Domains** — Add domains if your application accesses Box resources from a browser on another origin.

<Warning>
  Changing scopes, access level, or advanced features after authorization of a CCG or JWT app requires an administrator to reauthorize the app in the Admin Console under **Integrations > Platform Apps**.
</Warning>

## App details and credentials

Still on the **Configuration** tab, open **App Details** to view and copy credentials:

* **Application status**
* **Service accounts** (for authorized server applications)
* **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and **Developer Token**
* **Collaborators** (if you added any)
* **Properties**, including your user ID and enterprise ID

<Note>
  Your user ID and enterprise ID appear in the **Properties** section. To find IDs for other users, files, or folders, see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/locating-values">Locating IDs</Link>.
</Note>

Application **collaborators** are other Box users you invite to help configure the app in the Developer Console. Add them by email in **App Details** or from the **Options** menu on **My Platform Apps**. See <Link href="/guides/applications">applications</Link> for an overview.

<Note>
  **Free developer accounts:** You can add application collaborators who **already have a Box account** (for example, a teammate's developer account, personal account, or enterprise account). To collaborate with a larger team in an isolated environment, ask your Box admin about a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/sandbox">developer sandbox</Link> or <Link href="/guides/getting-started/free-developer-plan#upgrade-your-free-developer-plan">upgrade your plan</Link>.

  This is separate from **content collaborators** on files and folders. You can still invite existing Box users to content through the web app or <Link href="/guides/collaborations/share-content">collaborations API</Link>.
</Note>

### Other Developer Console tabs

After configuration, use the other tabs as needed:

* **Webhooks** — Register event triggers for your application
* **App Diagnostics** — Review recent API activity for the application

## Optional: Publish to Integrations

When your app is ready for customers, see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/plan-your-integration#publish-your-app">publish your app</Link> for the Developer Console submission flow and <Link href="/guides/applications/integrations">Box Integrations</Link> for the full checklist, assets, and partner review.

# Free developer plan
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/free-developer-plan

Build and test full-featured Box applications at no cost with a free developer plan.

Build and test full-featured Box applications with enterprise-grade APIs at no cost. The free developer plan allows you to prototype, integrate, and validate your workflows before you scale.

With a free developer plan, you get:

* **1,000 AI units** per month for Box AI features like asking questions, extracting structured and freeform metadata, and generating text
* **10 GB** storage, a **250 MB** file upload limit, and **1** file version
* **Box Sign** with **5** documents for e-signature per month
* Full API access with OAuth 2.0, JWT, and Client Credentials Grant (CCG) authentication
* Developer Console access to create apps, generate credentials, and manage your integration
* Support through the <Link href="https://community.box.com/">Box Community forum</Link>

### Included APIs

With the free developer plan, you can access key endpoints including:

* <Link href="/reference/post-ai-ask">**AI**</Link>: Ask questions, extract structured and freeform metadata, and generate text
* <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">**Authorization**</Link>: Implement OAuth 2.0, JWT, or Client Credentials Grant (CCG)
* <Link href="/reference/files-resources">**Content**</Link>: Upload, download, preview, version, and manage files and <Link href="/reference/folders-resources">folders</Link>

### Default application and authorization

A default application using Client Credentials Grant (CCG) authentication is created for you automatically. On a free developer account, this app is also authorized automatically, so you don't need separate admin approval before making API calls.

## Upgrade your free developer plan

1. Log into your Box account and select **Back to My Account**, if not already in Box Drive.
2. From the top of the screen, select **Upgrade Plan**.
3. Choose the plan that aligns with your requirements.
4. Complete checkout and enter payment information to activate your upgraded features immediately.

Your existing developer applications, API credentials, and integrations stay the same during the upgrade process. You do not need to reconfigure or redeploy.

## Select the right plan

Upgrading from the free developer plan unlocks higher storage and upload limits, multi-user enterprise administration, licensed API capacity, direct support, and access to additional Box products. Exact limits change over time, so use the <Link href="https://www.box.com/pricing">Plans and Pricing</Link> page as the source of truth before you commit to production.

### What paid plans add in general

Compared with the free developer plan, paid Business and Enterprise accounts typically include:

* **More capacity** — Higher storage, per-file upload limits, file version history, and Box Sign volume.
* **Enterprise administration** — Admin Console, managed users and groups, platform app authorization workflows, and optional <Link href="/guides/getting-started/sandbox">developer sandboxes</Link> for team-based testing.
* **Access to more Box products** — Higher tiers and add-ons unlock <Link href="/guides/box-ai">Box AI</Link>, <Link href="/guides/ai-studio">Box AI Studio</Link>, <Link href="/guides/box-sign">Box Sign</Link>, <Link href="/guides/docgen">Box Doc Gen</Link>, <Link href="/guides/hubs-api">Box Hubs</Link>, <Link href="/guides/box-relay">Box Relay</Link>, <Link href="/guides/retention-policies">Box Governance</Link>, <Link href="/guides/events/event-triggers/shield-alert-events">Box Shield</Link>, <Link href="/guides/archives">Box Archive</Link>, and <Link href="/guides/box-automate">Box Automate</Link>. The tiers below show where each becomes available.
* **Licensed API usage** — Business plans include a monthly API call allocation per enterprise; see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits#licensing-based">licensing-based rate limits</Link> and the pricing page for defaults.
* **Direct support** — Business and Enterprise plans include technical support options that differ by tier.

Sign up for a Box free developer account, generate the developer token and make your first API call.

[Box](https://www.box.com) is a cloud-based, intelligent content management and file sharing platform for storing, accessing, and collaborating on content from anywhere.

## Sign up for a free account

<SignupCTA>
  A free developer account gives you access to the Developer Console, APIs, and AI Units, for everything you need to follow along with developer guides.
</SignupCTA>

Confirm your email address to activate your developer account.

## Upload a file to Box and list all files in the root folder

The [Upload file](/reference/post-files-content) endpoint allows you to upload a single file to Box through the upload domain `https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content`.

<Note>
  The maximum file size is 50MB. For larger files, use the <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload APIs</Link>.
</Note>

A pre-built application using Client Credentials Grant (CCG) authentication is created for you to get started. This app is authorized automatically, so you don't need separate admin approval before making API calls.

Create a developer token to authenticate your requests. Go to the [Developer Console](https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console) > your pre-built application and find the **App Details** section. Locate the **Developer Token** field, select **Generate Developer Token**, and copy it.

<img alt="App Details" />

<Warning>
  Developer tokens expire one hour after you generate them.
</Warning>

We prepared an example invoice document for you to upload. Create a root folder for your project, download the file <Link href="/static/quickstarts/extract/files/demo-invoice-20tax-2.pdf">here</Link>, and save it in the folder.

    To install the .NET SDK in the .NET Core framework, run the following command using
    the <Link href="https://www.nuget.org/packages/Box.V2.Core">Nuget</Link> package manager.

    ```shell theme={null}
    PM> Install-Package Box.V2.Core
    ```

    Obtain a `client` with your developer token:

    ```csharp theme={null}
    using Box.Sdk.Gen;

    var auth = new BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token: "YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN");
    var client = new BoxClient(auth: auth);
    ```

    Await **`client.Uploads.UploadFileAsync`** with **`new UploadFileRequestBody`**: **`UploadFileRequestBodyAttributesField`** (`name` and `parent id`) and a **`Stream`** (for example from **`File.OpenRead`**).

    ```csharp theme={null}
    using var fileContentStream = File.OpenRead("demo-invoice-20tax-2.pdf");
    var files = await client.Uploads.UploadFileAsync(
        requestBody: new UploadFileRequestBody(
            attributes: new UploadFileRequestBodyAttributesField(
                name: "demo-invoice-20tax-2.pdf",
                parent: new UploadFileRequestBodyAttributesParentField(id: "0")),
            file: fileContentStream));
    var file = files.Entries[0];
    Console.WriteLine($"File uploaded with id {file.Id}, name {file.Name}");

    var items = await client.Folders.GetFolderItemsAsync(folderId: "0");
    if (items.Entries != null)
    {
        foreach (var item in items.Entries)
        {
            if (item.FileFull != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item.FileFull.Name);
            }
            else if (item.FolderMini != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item.FolderMini.Name);
            }
            else if (item.WebLink != null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(item.WebLink.Name);
            }
        }
    }
    ```

    The `getFolderItems` command lists all files in the root folder. Execute the script to upload the file and list all files.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Congratulations! You've uploaded your first file to Box and listed all files in the root folder.

# Locating IDs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/locating-values

Find user IDs, enterprise IDs, and file or folder IDs in the Box web app, Admin Console, Developer Console, and API.

## User IDs

### As a developer

To locate your own user ID in the Box web app, navigate to your **All Files** page. Select your avatar and choose **Account Settings** from the dropdown menu. Your user ID is the **Account ID** value listed in the **Account Details** section of the **Account** tab.

### As an admin

If your account type provides access to the <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-content/content-manager/about-content-manager">Content Manager</Link>, select the user in question from the user list. The URL reveals their user ID. For example, in `https://app.box.com/master/content/2267862105/0/0`, the user ID is `2267862105`.

To find user IDs using the API, navigate to the Developer Console and generate a Developer Token or obtain an Access Token for yourself. Then call the <Link href="/reference/get-users">list enterprise users</Link> endpoint. This returns a list of all users in your enterprise.

## Enterprise ID

### As a developer

To find your enterprise ID, select your account icon in the top-right of the <Link href="https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link> and choose **Copy Enterprise ID**.

### As an admin

From the **Admin Console**, navigate to the **Account & Billing** tab. The Enterprise ID is located under the **Account Information** section.

## Content IDs

### As a developer

To locate a file ID via the Box web app, navigate to the file's preview in your browser and look at the URL. For example, the file ID of `https://app.box.com/file/1234567890` is `1234567890`.

To locate a folder ID via the Box web app, navigate into the folder and look at the URL. For example, the folder ID of `https://app.box.com/folder/9876543210` is `9876543210`.

To locate content IDs via the API, start by listing all items at the All Files level by passing `0` as the `folder_id` of the <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">list items in folder</Link> endpoint.

### As an admin

If you have access to the Content Manager, select the user in question from the user list and then navigate to the content. The URL reveals the folder and/or file ID. For example, in `https://app.box.com/master/content/1987212562/88560510648/0/532181212706`:

* User ID: `1987212562`
* Folder ID: `88560510648`
* File ID: `532181212706`


# Plan your integration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/plan-your-integration

Assess whether your use case fits Box, then choose the application type that matches how your app runs.

## Assess your use case

Content-centric processes perform best on Box. Ask yourself:

* Is content always involved in the process?
* Does the process involve:
  * moving content from one place to another,
  * collecting e-signatures,
  * generating documents,
  * automating multi-step review, approval, or routing workflows,
  * answering questions about content or extracting metadata with AI,
  * building purpose-built agents or custom AI extractions,
  * publishing governed knowledge portals for teams or departments,
  * classifying, protecting, or monitoring sensitive content for threats,
  * or applying retention schedules, legal holds, or other compliance controls?
* Can the workflow abide by <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-fundamentals/for-users/collaborating/collaborating-by-inviting-others/understanding-folder-permissions">waterfall permissions</Link>?
* Does the process involve administrative tasks that may be automated?

If you answered **yes** to these questions, you most likely have a strong use case for Box.

Many teams also build on Box for **AI-first** workflows: agents that work across authorized content, curated knowledge shared at org scale, and documents generated from templates.

Common solutions include:

<Note>
  Product availability depends on your Box plan and enterprise entitlements. Not every product is included on the free developer plan. See <Link href="/guides/getting-started/free-developer-plan#select-the-right-plan">select the right plan</Link> for paid tiers and add-on products.
</Note>

Still not sure if you have a good use case? Reach out to your Box account team or our sales team at [`sales@box.com`](mailto:sales@box.com).

## Choose an application type

Box applications support different capabilities and authentication options.

### Platform App

<Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps">Platform Apps</Link> cover most use cases. They let you present Box functionality in a custom interface, including <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements">UI Elements</Link> for browsing, searching, and previewing content.

When you create a Platform App, you select an app type:

* **User** — for user-facing apps (OAuth 2.0)
* **Server** — for backend services using Client Credentials Grant or JWT

Platform Apps are a good fit when you need to access your own files and others' files, upload and download content, and optionally list the app in Box Integrations.

### Web App Integrations

<Link href="/guides/applications/web-app-integrations">Web App Integrations</Link> let third-party applications work inside the Box user experience. Users can edit, share, or modify Box content with your app, and you can surface the integration in Recommended Web Integrations in Box Preview.

## Publish your app

<Link href="/guides/applications/integrations">Box Integrations</Link> is where Box users discover apps that work with Box. Listing your app is an effective way to reach new users, especially for apps meant for other enterprises.

To publish, make sure your app is production-ready and uses OAuth 2.0. Submit it for approval in the Developer Console:

1. Select **Apps**.
2. Select **Submit for Approval**.
3. Fill out the form and select **Submit**.

Approved apps can appear in featured, most popular, or recently added sections.

For the submission checklist, required assets, and partner review process, see <Link href="/guides/applications/integrations">Box Integrations</Link>.

<Warning>
  Non-OAuth integrations cannot use that listing flow as-is; the guide describes using an OAuth listing as a marketing redirect when needed.
</Warning>

Questions about publishing: [`integrate@box.com`](mailto:integrate@box.com).

# Sandboxes
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/sandbox

Build, test, and collaborate on Box applications in an isolated developer sandbox that mirrors your enterprise plan and add-ons.

Developer sandboxes in Box provide a secure, controlled environment where developers can build, test, and collaborate on applications without affecting the actual data of your enterprise. They offer a safe space to experiment with Box APIs, test settings, try new integrations, and work alongside external partners.

<Note>
  Developer sandboxes are included with Box **Business** plans and above. Each sandbox reflects your enterprise's existing plan and add-on products (such as Box Shield or Box Zones), and you can have up to **10** sandboxes per enterprise. See <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-platform/box-platform-for-administrators/managing-developer-sandboxes-for-box-admins">Managing developer sandboxes for Box admins</Link> for details.
</Note>

## What is a developer sandbox

A developer sandbox is an environment isolated from your production (live) enterprise setup that keeps development activities separate from real business data.

## Why use a sandbox

Using a sandbox allows you to:

* Safely build apps within an enterprise-linked environment instead of a free standalone account.
* Collaborate securely with both internal teams and external collaborators. Contractors, partners, and other external users can join the sandbox without accessing live systems and compromising security.
* Test apps under realistic testing conditions, as sandboxes inherit your enterprise's plan and add-ons at creation time. If there are any changes to the plan or add-ons, they can be <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-platform/box-platform-for-administrators/managing-developer-sandboxes-for-box-admins#synchronizing-sandbox-with-production">manually synced</Link> by an enterprise admin.

## Accessing your sandbox

Sandboxes in Box are created by enterprise admins. See <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-platform/box-platform-for-administrators/managing-developer-sandboxes-for-box-admins">Managing developer sandboxes for Box admins</Link> to learn how to create a sandbox. When you are assigned as a primary admin of a sandbox, you receive a log-in email from Box with your sandbox user ID.

To access the <Link href="https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link> inside the sandbox environment and set up a password, select the link in the email. You can also access your sandbox by logging in with your sandbox credentials on <Link href="https://developer.box.com">developer.box.com</Link>.

The sandbox's primary admin can create individual sandbox accounts, giving developers access to a new Box environment that matches the plan of their parent Box enterprise.

### Accessing multiple sandboxes

As a primary admin, you can log into multiple sandboxes. If you want to use this functionality for existing sandboxes, you can remove the unique email address and get a system-generated email.


# User types
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/getting-started/users

Learn which Box user type your app authenticates as, and how Managed Users, Service Accounts, and App Users differ.

The type of user your application authenticates as determines what content it can access and what actions it can take. Which user type you get depends on the <Link href="/guides/getting-started/plan-your-integration">application type</Link> you create and the <Link href="/guides/authentication/select">authentication method</Link> you choose.

## User types at a glance

| User type                               | Has login credentials? | How it's created                                                                                                    | Visible in Admin Console?                                | Best for                                                |
| --------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| [**Managed User**](#managed-users)      | Yes                    | Provisioned by enterprise                                                                                           | Yes                                                      | Employees with licensed Box accounts                    |
| [**External User**](#external-users)    | Yes                    | Has an existing Box account (personal or another enterprise)                                                        | Yes, **External Users** tab (**External Users** filter)  | Cross-enterprise or free-account collaboration          |
| [**Unmanaged User**](#unmanaged-users)  | Yes                    | Self-provisioned using a managed domain email                                                                       | Yes, **External Users** tab (**Unmanaged Users** filter) | Domain users outside enterprise control                 |
| [**Service Account**](#service-account) | No (API only)          | Auto-generated when a server-auth app is <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorized</Link> | Content Manager only                                     | Server-to-server integrations, content owned by the app |
| [**App User**](#app-user)               | No (API only)          | Created by a Service Account using the <Link href="/reference/post-users">API</Link>                                | Yes (Users & Groups + Content Manager)                   | Per-user content isolation without Box accounts         |

## Admin and Co-Admin roles

Admin and Co-Admin are roles that can be assigned to Managed Users, not separate user types. A user must first be a Managed User before they can be given either role.

Managed Users with the Admin or Co-Admin role can manage the Box enterprise through the <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/admin-console/about-the-admin-console">Admin Console</Link>. They can perform actions unavailable to other users, such as managing security policies, running reports, and configuring integrations.

<Note>
  Some applications require Admin-level permissions to operate. For example, a security application that monitors <Link href="/reference/get-events">enterprise events</Link> needs an Admin or a Co-Admin with reporting permissions.
</Note>

## Managed Users

Managed Users belong to your enterprise and consume a standard Box license. Each enterprise has a unique enterprise ID, and all Managed Users share that ID. They typically share the same email domain.

## External Users

External Users are collaborators from outside your organization — Box users whose accounts are not created from within your Admin Console and whose email addresses are not associated with your managed domain. They can belong to a different enterprise, or they can have a free personal Box account with no enterprise affiliation.

Admins cannot manage External Users' account settings or the content they own, but they can manage collaborations — including granting or revoking access to your enterprise's content. External Users appear in the Admin Console under **Users & Groups** > **External Users**. An Admin can <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-users/users-and-groups/invite-users">invite</Link> them to become Managed Users in your organization, provided they are not already part of another Box enterprise.

## Unmanaged Users

Unmanaged Users are Box users who:

* Have unlicensed personal Box accounts acquired independently of an Admin or Co-Admin, and that do not belong to your Box organization
* Use email addresses from your domain or verified domains (domains owned or controlled by your organization)

Unmanaged Users appear in the Admin Console under **Users & Groups** > **External Users** when you select the **Unmanaged Users** filter. Admins can identify and <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-users/users-and-groups/converting-unmanaged-users-to-managed-users">convert them to Managed Users</Link> to bring them under organizational control.

## Service Account

A Service Account is a programmatic user that represents your application in the Box enterprise. It authenticates server-to-server without login credentials, which makes it ideal for backend integrations and automated workflows.

  end
```

<sub>\* One per enterprise; can manage enterprise settings and authorize applications.</sub>

<br />

<sub>\*\* One per authorized application; can own content and processes, and can create and manage app users.</sub>

### When to use

* **Content migration**: Move content between on-premises systems and the cloud
* **Event monitoring**: Watch enterprise events for compliance or to trigger workflows
* **Content distribution**: Upload and share files with users regardless of their authentication status
* **System integrations**: Connect on-premises systems and devices to Box
* **Content archiving**: Store infrequently accessed content

### Creation

A Service Account is **automatically generated** when an Admin <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorizes</Link> your JWT or CCG application in the Admin Console. You don't create it manually.

Box assigns the Service Account an email address in the format:
`AutomationUser_AppServiceID_RandomString@boxdevedition.com`

For example: `AutomationUser_123456_6jCo6Pqwo@boxdevedition.com`. The number between the underscores is the **Service ID**, which matches the ID in your app's <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link> URL (for example, `https://example.app.box.com/developers/console/app/123456`).

You can find the Service Account email in the **App Details** tab of your app in the <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>.

<Warning>
  If you attempt API calls with a Service Account token before the app is authorized, you receive an `unauthorized_client` error: `"This app is not authorized by the enterprise"`.
</Warning>

### Viewing content

Only **Primary Admins** can view a Service Account's content:

1. Open the <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-content/content-manager/about-content-manager">Content Manager</Link> in the Admin Console.
2. Search for the application name.
3. Right-click the result and select **Log in to user's account**.

Service Accounts are **not** visible in the **Users & Groups** tab. They only appear in the Content Manager.

<Note>
  Co-Admins can't log in as a Service Account. This mirrors how Co-Admins can't manage each other.
</Note>

### Permissions and collaboration

The API endpoints a Service Account can call are determined by the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link> configured in the <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>. With the right scopes, a Service Account can perform Admin-level actions.

<Warning>
  Because a Service Account can have elevated permissions, JWT and CCG applications require explicit <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">Admin approval</Link> before they can be used in an enterprise.
</Warning>

A Service Account has its own folder tree, which starts empty. To give it access to existing content:

* **By email**: Invite the Service Account using its assigned email address, just as you would invite any other collaborator.
* **By API**: Use the <Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">create collaboration endpoint</Link> with the Service Account's user ID (returned by the <Link href="/reference/get-users-me">get current user endpoint</Link>).

<Tip>
  You can assign a Service Account an email alias to make collaboration invitations easier to remember.
</Tip>

By default, Service Accounts receive 10 GB of storage based on the **New User Default Settings** in the Admin Console. To change this, call the <Link href="/reference/put-users-id">update user endpoint</Link> with the `space_amount` parameter.

## App User

An App User is a programmatic user that your Service Account creates through the API. Like Service Accounts, App Users don't have login credentials and can only interact with Box through your application. Each App User gets their own folder tree, which gives you per-user content isolation.

App Users are tied to the application that created them and can't be transferred to another application.

### When to use

* **Customer portals**: Give clients or patients a place to access and store sensitive documents without needing a Box account
* **Vendor portals**: Distribute content like price lists, contracts, and marketing materials to partners, organized by vendor tier
* **Branded applications**: Build customer-facing features with per-user permissions, auditing, and <Link href="/reference/get-events">reporting</Link> — especially valuable for regulated industries like financial services and healthcare
* **Identity mapping**: Map users from your own identity provider (like Auth0 or Okta) to individual Box user accounts

### Creation

**Prerequisites**: You need a JWT or CCG application that has been <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorized</Link> in the Admin Console, which gives you a Service Account.

To create an App User, use the Service Account's access token to call the <Link href="/reference/post-users">create user endpoint</Link>. Set the `is_platform_access_only` body parameter to `true` — otherwise, a Managed User is created instead.

Box assigns each App User an email address in the format:
`AppUser_AppServiceID_RandomString@boxdevedition.com`

For step-by-step instructions and code samples, see <Link href="/guides/users/create-app-user">Create an App User</Link>.

### Viewing content

App Users are visible in two places in the Admin Console:

1. **Users & Groups** tab: Use the view options button, then filter by **Role > App Users**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Filter for App Users" />
</Frame>

2. **Content Manager**: Search for the App User by name or email to browse their folder tree.

### Permissions and collaboration

App Users **can't** see the Service Account's folder tree or any other content unless you explicitly add them as a collaborator.

Each App User has their own folder tree, which starts empty. To give an App User access to content:

* **By email**: Invite the App User using their assigned email address.
* **By API**: Use the <Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">create collaboration endpoint</Link> with the App User's ID and an access token for a user who already has access to the target content.

## Service Account vs. App User

Use this decision guide to pick the right approach for your application:

| Question                                                                           | If yes...                                       |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Does your app need to own and manage content without tying it to individual users? | Use a **Service Account** as the content owner. |
| Do you need per-user content isolation (each user has their own files)?            | Create an **App User** for each user.           |
| Are your users transient, but the content needs to persist?                        | Use a **Service Account** to own the content.   |
| Do you want to map users from your own identity provider to Box?                   | Create an **App User** for each identity.       |
| Is this a system-to-system integration with no end-user interaction?               | Use the **Service Account** directly.           |

## As-User

If you use OAuth 2.0, JWT, or CCG authentication, you can make `as-user` calls to act on behalf of another user. Even though your application originally authenticated as yourself or as a Service Account, subsequent calls can impersonate a different user.

This is useful for automating administrative tasks like folder reorganization or employee provisioning. To enable `as-user` calls, turn on the appropriate scope in the <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>.

# Create Slack Integration Mapping
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/create-mapping



Use the `POST integration_mappings/slack/:integration_mapping_id`
call to create a mapping. To make it work,
you need `box_item` and `partner_item` parameters,
which refer to a Box folder and a Slack channel, respectively.

<Info>
  Remember that before the mapping can be created,
  this service account must be set as a co-owner
  role on the folder that is being mapped.
  If you encounter any errors, see the <Link href="/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/troubleshooting">troubleshooting guide</Link>.
</Info>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X -L POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/integration_mappings/slack" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H 'content-type: application/json' \
       -d '{
            "partner_item": {
                "id": "C987654321",
                "type": "channel",
                "slack_workspace_id": "T5555555"
            },
            "box_item": {
                "id": "123456789",
                "type": "folder"
            }
        }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await userClient.integrationMappings.createSlackIntegrationMapping({
    partnerItem: new IntegrationMappingPartnerItemSlack({
      id: slackPartnerItemId,
      slackOrgId: slackOrgId,
    }),
    boxItem: new IntegrationMappingBoxItemSlack({ id: folder.id }),
  } satisfies IntegrationMappingSlackCreateRequest);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  user_client.integration_mappings.create_slack_integration_mapping(
      IntegrationMappingPartnerItemSlack(
          id=slack_partner_item_id, slack_org_id=slack_org_id
      ),
      IntegrationMappingBoxItemSlack(id=folder.id),
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await userClient.IntegrationMappings.CreateSlackIntegrationMappingAsync(requestBody: new IntegrationMappingSlackCreateRequest(partnerItem: new IntegrationMappingPartnerItemSlack(id: slackPartnerItemId) { SlackOrgId = slackOrgId }, boxItem: new IntegrationMappingBoxItemSlack(id: folder.Id)));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await userClient.integrationMappings.createSlackIntegrationMapping(requestBody: IntegrationMappingSlackCreateRequest(partnerItem: IntegrationMappingPartnerItemSlack(id: slackPartnerItemId, slackOrgId: slackOrgId), boxItem: IntegrationMappingBoxItemSlack(id: folder.id)))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  userClient.getIntegrationMappings().createSlackIntegrationMapping(new IntegrationMappingSlackCreateRequest(new IntegrationMappingPartnerItemSlack.Builder(slackPartnerItemId).slackOrgId(slackOrgId).build(), new IntegrationMappingBoxItemSlack(folder.getId())))
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  const mapping = await client.integrationMappings.createSlackIntegrationMapping({
  	partner_item: {
  		type: 'channel',
  		id: 'C12378991223',
  		slack_org_id: 'E1234567'
  	},
  	box_item: {
  		id: '12345',
  		type: 'folder',
  	}
  });
  console.log(
      `Slack integration mapping with id ${mapping.id} was created`
  );
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can provide options that change the default settings for the
created mapping. For example setting `is_access_management_disabled` to
`true` will disable collaboration management. Slack channel members will
not become collaborators on the channel folder and no shared links will
be created for channels with 1000+ members.

## Create Slack Integration Mapping with Box SDK

Use Box SDK to automatically create the Integration Mapping,
including a co-owner collaboration of the
service account on the Slack channel - Box folder mapping.
To do so, use this script:

```js theme={null}
const BoxSDK = require('box-node-sdk');
const axios = require('axios');

const integrationMappingsApiUrl = 'https://api.box.com/2.0/integration_mappings/slack'
const boxFolderId = 'PASTE YOUR FOLDER ID HERE';
const slackChannelId = 'PASTE YOUR CHANNEL ID HERE';
const slackOrgId = 'PASTE YOUR SLACK ORG ID HERE (CHANGE TO WORKSPACE ID IF NECESSARY)';
const developerToken = 'PASTE YOUR DEVELOPER TOKEN HERE';

let serviceAccountId = '<PLACEHOLDER>';

const client = BoxSDK.getBasicClient(developerToken);

async function postIntegrationMappingSlack(){
    return axios.post(integrationMappingsApiUrl, {
        partner_item: {
            id: slackChannelId,
            slack_org_id: slackOrgId, // change slack_org_id to slack_workspace_id if Box for Slack is installed on the workspace level
            type: "channel"
        },
        box_item: {
            id: boxFolderId,
            type: "folder"
        }
    }, {
        headers: {
            'Authorization': `Bearer ${developerToken}`
        }
    });
}

function isPlaceholder(str){
    return str === '<PLACEHOLDER>';
}

async function addCoowner(serviceAccountId, folderId){
    try {
        await client.collaborations.createWithUserID(serviceAccountId, folderId, 'co-owner')
    } catch (error){
        if(error.response.body.code === 'user_already_collaborator'){
            console.log('Service account already collaborated in the co-owner role.')
        } else {
            throw error;
        }
    }
}

async function logServiceAccountId() {
    try {
        await postIntegrationMappingSlack();
    } catch (error) {
        console.log(`Replace the value of serviceAccountId with: ${error.response.data.context_info.service_account_id} and re-run the script.`)
    }
}

async function createSlackIntegrationMapping() {
    if(isPlaceholder(serviceAccountId)){
        await logServiceAccountId();
    } else {
        await addCoowner(serviceAccountId, boxFolderId);
        await postIntegrationMappingSlack();
    }
}

module.exports = { createSlackIntegrationMapping }
```

<Note>
  Make sure to replace `PLACEHOLDER` with the logged value of
  `serviceAccountId`.
</Note>


# Delete Slack Integration Mapping
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/delete-mapping



The `DELETE integration_mappings/slack/:integration_mapping_id`
call removes the mapping between the channel and the folder.
A new mapping and a new folder in the default folder structure will
be created when the next file is uploaded to the channel.
Deleting the mapping does not delete the Box folder, or the Slack channel.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X -L DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/integration_mappings/slack/512521" \

  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await userClient.integrationMappings.deleteSlackIntegrationMappingById(
    slackIntegrationMapping.id,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}

# Slack Integration Mappings
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/index



When [Box as the Content Layer][1] is enabled, Box folder is created for
each channel, and all files uploaded to this channel are stored in this folder.
The <Link href="/reference/resources/integration-mapping-slack">Integration Mappings API</Link> allows the Box Enterprise Admin (EA) to
customize the upload folder of the Slack channel to any folder within
the enterprise instead of relying on the default one.

[1]: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4415585987859-Box-as-the-Content-Layer-for-Slack


# List Slack Integration Mappings
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/list-mappings



Use the `GET /integration_mappings/slack` call to
fetch and filter the mappings,
both the ones created manually by the admin
those created
automatically by the integration.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}

# Slack Integration Mappings Setup
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/setup



Before starting work with Integration Mappings API, perform
the following steps.

## Roles

Make sure you have an Admin or a Co-admin role.

## Install and configure Box for Slack

1. Install [Box for Slack][1] in the relevant Slack workspace or organizations.
2. Enable the [Box as Content Layer for Slack][2].
3. Make sure the service account you are using is a collaborator on the folder that will be mapped. To do so, use the `Invite People` folder option to invite the service account as a collaborator.

If you encounter any errors, see the <Link href="/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/troubleshooting">troubleshooting guide</Link>.

## Create Box application

1. Create a <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/oauth2-setup">platform app with OAuth authentication</Link> in the [Box developer console][5]
2. Open the application and enable the **Manage enterprise properties** application scope under **Configuration** > **Required Access Scopes**.

<Info>
  For Slack-side channel validation, the <Link href="/reference/get-integration-mappings-slack">Integration Mappings API</Link>
  is calling the Slack API.
</Info>

## Authorization

To authorize your Integration Mappings requests:

1. Navigate to the <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">platform app</Link> that you have created as one of the prerequisites.
2. Generate a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">developer token</Link> and add it to the HTTP header of each request:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer {developer_token}
```

<Info>
  The developer token is valid for 60 minutes. After that time you need
  to generate it again.
</Info>

[5]: https://app.box.com/developers/console


# Slack Integration Mappings Troubleshooting
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/integration-mappings/slack-mappings/troubleshooting



As the Integration Mappings API performs different types of
validation, some errors might occur. You can find descriptions
and solutions to these common errors below.

## Service account is not a co-owner of the folder

The [Box as Content Layer for Slack][1] service account must be added
as an owner or co-owner of the folder to manage collaborations and uploads.

```sh theme={null}
Box as File Storage for Slack (user id: 123, user email:
user@example.com) must be a collaborator in role co-owner or owner
of the folder example123, before it can be mapped to the channel
example123. Please create a collaboration or ensure the ownership for
Box as File Storage for Slack and retry.`
```

To resolve this error use the data in the response to make sure the
service account has the necessary role to perform the mapping.

```json theme={null}
"context_info": {
  "service_account_id": "12345678",
  "service_account_email": "AutomationUser_12345678_gdueygwe@boxdevedition.com",
}
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Copy the  `service_account_email` from `context_info`.
2. In the folder settings, use the `Invite People` option to invite the service account as a co-owner.

## Channel is already mapped to a folder in Box

API returns the following error when you attempt to create
a mapping for a channel that already has a Box folder mapped:

```sh theme={null}
Channel: example123 is already mapped to a folder in Box.
```

If you wanted to start using a new folder, use `GET` to retrieve
the `id` of the mapping and then the `UPDATE` method to update the
target Box folder.

## Channel was not found

API returns this error if the Slack bot associated with the integration
can not retrieve information about the channel.

```sh theme={null}
Channel: example123 was not found. If it is a private channel, ensure that Box has been added to the channel.
```

Ensure that the `partner_item` is correct - make sure you provide `slack_org_id`
for org installations and `slack_workspace_id` for workspace ones. If the
channel is private, ensure that the Slack bot has been added to the channel.

## Channel not suitable for Custom File Storage (CFS)

```sh theme={null}
Channel: example123 is not suitable for CFS. Slack Connect channels with
a pending Connect status can not be mapped to Box folders.
```

Slack Connect channels (cross enterprise channels) are currently not supported
as a part of Box as a Content Layer for Slack.

## Box folder externally owned

Box folder selected for mapping must be owned by the enterprise that the Admin
is part of.

```sh theme={null}
Box folder: example123 cannot be mapped, because it is externally owned. Mapped folder must belong to the enterprise: example_enterprise.
```

## Custom File Storage (CFS) turned off

API returns this error when you're trying to create the mapping for an
enterprise that has Box for Slack installed, but did not enable
[Box as a Content Layer for Slack][1].

## Box enterprise mismatch

API returns this error when there is a mismatch between the Admin’s enterprise
and Box for Slack configuration. See [Installing and using Box for Slack][2]
for information on how to enable Box for Slack.

Use the `POST integration_mappings_teams` call to create a mapping.
To make it work, you need the `box_item` and the `partner_item` parameters,
which refer to a Box folder and a Teams channel, respectively.

# Delete Teams integration mappings

The `DELETE integration_mappings_teams_id` call removes the mapping between
the channel and the folder.
A new mapping and a new folder in the default folder structure will be created
when the next file is uploaded to the channel.
Deleting the mapping does not delete the Box folder or the Teams channel.

Before you can start working with [Teams][2] integration mapping API,
perform the steps below.

## Prerequisites

* Admin or Co-Admin role
* [Box for Microsoft Teams][1] integration installed

## Create a Box application

1. Create a <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/oauth2-setup">platform app with OAuth authentication</Link> in the [Box developer console][3].
2. Open the application and enable the **Manage enterprise properties** application scope under **Configuration** > **Required Access Scopes**.

## Authorize integration mappings requests

1. Navigate to the <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/index">platform app</Link> that you have created as one of the prerequisites.
2. Generate a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">developer token</Link> and add it to the HTTP header of each request:

```bash theme={null}
Authorization: Bearer {developer_token}
```

<Info>
  The developer token is valid for 60 minutes. After that time, you need
  to generate it again.

# Connect SSO identities to app users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-identities



Your SSO service will have a unique user record for each person using it within
your company. When accessing a Box application through this SSO service, if
we're creating a Box user for each SSO user, then we need to create an
association between the SSO user and Box user records.

When a user logs in to Box through the SSO service we will first search for the
user by the association. If a Box user record is found we can begin making
calls as that user to Box APIs. If there is no Box user found will then create
a new Box user with the association to the unique SSO user account.

Exploring the top level of a Box <Link href="/reference/resources/user">user object</Link> we can see
the available options for adding the unique identifier from the SSO service
user object into the Box user object to bind the two together.

```json theme={null}

```

There are two recommended methods for creating a binding between a unique user
within the SSO service and a Box user, placing the unique SSO user ID within
the Box user `external_app_user_id` field, or using the unique SSO email address
as the login email for the new user.

## Using `external_app_user_id` (recommended method)

The `external_app_user_id` field was designed to hold a string identifier to
associate a Box user record with an external service, such as an SSO provider
user record.

<Warning>
  You can retrieve app users for a specific application only if such app
  users were created by this application.
  If you use one application to search for users
  created by a different one, no data will be returned.
</Warning>

Using the `external_app_user_id` field for associating the unique SSO user
account with a Box user account is the preferred method of connecting the two
accounts over email, for a number of reasons:

* Email association is only viable for <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">managed users</Link>. <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App users</Link> are automatically assigned an email address by Box, meaning that you cannot assign the `login` to be the email from the SSO service.
* Emails have to be unique in Box. This means that if your SSO service user signed up for Box using the same email address, which is not within your Box enterprise, then you will not be able to create a user with that email and won't be able to connect to that existing user.
* The `external_app_user_id` field was designed for this purpose.

## Using `login` (alternative method)

Using the `login` field of a user object to create an account association is
viable under a few conditions:

* Only the <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">managed users</Link> type is being used, not <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">app users</Link>.
* All email addresses and Box account creation requests are managed by your enterprise, meaning that users cannot independently create Box accounts with those email addresses.

<Warning>
  Email addresses used for users in Box, under the `login` field, must be
  unique. Making a request to create a user with an email that already exists
  for another account will result in a `409 Conflict` error, stating that
  `user_login_already_used`
</Warning>

## Download Required Data

To begin working with the Box SDKs used in this tutorial, you will need the
application configuration file from the **Configuration** page of your
application. This will include all information needed to verify your
application to start making API requests with the Box SDKs.

Within the **Add and Manage Public Keys** section of the **Configuration**
page, click to **Generate a Public/Private Keypair**. This will send you
through 2FA verification before downloading the configuration file for your
application.

Store that file as `config.json` in a location accessible by your application.

## Summary

* You created a new, or are using an existing, Box app which is approved by an enterprise admin.
* You downloaded your application configuration file and stored it in a location accessible by your application.

# Configure Okta
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/configure-okta



<ProgressBar />

Our next step in the Okta / Box integration is to create and configure the Okta
application and users, then extract a few pieces of information that we will
need to connect to Okta in our application.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta Application Dashboard" />
</Frame>

For this tutorial we will be starting with a blank Okta application and user
dashboard to avoid any negative effects on existing installations that may be
in place, and to ensure that we have admin rights to the instance.

## Create an Okta Application

Starting from the [Okta developer site][okta-dev], sign up for a new developer
account, or log in under your personal account if you already have one.

If you're logging in with an existing account, you should see the Okta
dashboard. Click on the **Admin** button at the top right.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta Application Dashboard" />
</Frame>

If you've created a new developer account rather than logging into an existing
account, you will have already be redirected to the admin dashboard.

You should now see the admin panel. Click on the **Applications** option at the
top.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta Admin Dashboard" />
</Frame>

On the application page, click the **Add Application** button. Select **Web**
as the application type and click the **Next** button.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta App Types" />
</Frame>

Okta employs both [OAuth 2][oauth2] and [OpenID Connect][openid-connect] (OIDC)
for application authorization and user authentication, respectively. The OpenID
Connect integration allows us to use baked in OIDC connectors within a number
of popular language frameworks to simplify application and user management by
handling the callback routes and providing methods for logging in,
logging out, and protecting routes into your application.

To simplify this first integration, we're going to use the default callback
routes and settings for the language and framework OIDC connector. Depending on
your preferred integration type, the configuration settings will slightly
change.

Fill out the application details with the following configuration settings:

<Choice>
  * Name: Any
  * Base URIs: `http://localhost:3000/`
  * Login redirect URIs: `http://localhost:3000/authorization-code/callback`

  </Frame>
</Choice>

<Choice>
  <Danger>
    **Incomplete previous step**
    Please select a preferred language / framework in step 1 to get started.
  </Danger>
</Choice>

Click the **Done** button to create the application and be dropped on to the
general settings of the application.

## Copy Application Credentials

Using the configuration files set up in the last step, we next have to add in
the Okta application org and app details within the files.

Most Okta application information can be found on the general settings page,
with the exception of the `Org URL` that is used in the configuration URIs to
reference back to your Okta organization. To obtain the `Org URL`, go to the
dashboard of your Okta admin console. The `Org URL` will be in the top right
corner of the screen.

Depending on the language and framework previously chosen, we'll set up the
appropriate configuration files.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta Org URL" />
</Frame>

<Choice>
  * Open `config.json` within the local application directory in your preferred editor.
  * Update the following line items with the appropriate Okta configuration info:
    * `oktaClientId`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `oktaClientSecret`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `oktaOrgUrl`: Obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page.
  * Save the file.

  Your `config.json` file should look similar to the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  const oktaClientId = exports.oktaClientId = '0oa48567frkg5KW4x6';
  const oktaClientSecret = exports.oktaClientSecret = 'cugDJy2ERfIQHDXv-j2134DfTTes-Sa3';
  const oktaOrgUrl = exports.oktaOrgUrl = 'YOURDOMAIN.okta.com';
  const oktaBaseUrl = exports.oktaBaseUrl = 'http://localhost:3000';
  const oktaRedirect = exports.oktaRedirect = '/authorization-code/callback';
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  * Open the `/src/main/resources/application.properties` file and update the following lines:
    * `okta.oauth2.issuer`: Your Org URL, obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page, followed by `/oauth2/default`. For example, if your Org URL was `https://dev-123456.okta.com`, the issuer string should be `https://dev-123456.okta.com/oauth2/default`.
    * `okta.oauth2.clientId`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `okta.oauth2.clientSecret`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
  * Save the file

  Your `/src/main/resources/application.properties` file should look similar to
  the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  okta.oauth2.redirect-uri=/authorization-code/callback
  okta.oauth2.issuer=https://YOURDOMAIN.okta.com/oauth2/default
  okta.oauth2.clientId=0oa48567frkg5KW4x6
  okta.oauth2.clientSecret=cugDJy2ERfIQHDXv-j2134DfTTes-Sa3
  security.oauth2.sso.loginPath=/authorization-code/callback
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In addition to the standard configuration information for the org and app, the
  Python / Flask integration requires an additional auth token.

  To create an auth token:

  * Go to the **API** -> **Token** section of the Okta admin dashboard.
  * Click the **Create Token** button.
  * Enter a name for the token and click **Create**.
  * Copy the token that is generated.

  Next, update the local application configuration file.

  * Open `config.py` within the local application directory in your preferred editor.
  * Update the following line items with the appropriate Okta configuration info:
    * `okta_client_secret`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `okta_org_url`: Obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page.
    * `okta_auth_token`: The token created above.
  * Save the file.

  Your `config.py` file should look similar to the following.

  ```python theme={null}
  okta_client_id = '0oa48567frkg5KW4x6'
  okta_client_secret = 'cugDJy2ERfIQHDXv-j2134DfTTes-Sa3'
  okta_org_url = 'http://YOURDOMAIN.okta.com'
  okta_auth_token = '01KkTQTRfs1yKLr4Ojy26iqoIjK_4fHyq132Dr5T'
  okta_callback_route = '/oidc/callback'
  ```

  Lastly, update the Flask configuration file

  * Open `client_secrets.json` within the local application directory in your preferred editor.
  * Update the following line items with the appropriate Okta configuration info:
    * `client_id`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `client_secret`: Obtained from the **Client Credentials** section of the application general settings.
    * `auth_uri`: Your Org URL, obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page, followed by `/oauth2/default/v1/authorize`. For example, if your Org URL was `https://dev-123456.okta.com`, the issuer string should be `https://dev-123456.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/authorize`.
    * `token_uri`: Your Org URL, obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page, followed by `/oauth2/default/v1/token`. For example, if your Org URL was `https://dev-123456.okta.com`, the issuer string should be `https://dev-123456.okta.com/oauth2/default/v1/token`.
    * `issuer`: Your Org URL, obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page, followed by `/oauth2/default`. For example, if your Org URL was `https://dev-123456.okta.com`, the issuer string should be `https://dev-123456.okta.com/oauth2/default`.
    * `userinfo_uri`: Your Org URL, obtained from the top right of the main admin dashboard page, followed by `/oauth2/default/userinfo`. For example, if your Org URL was `https://dev-123456.okta.com`, the issuer string should be `https://dev-123456.okta.com/oauth2/default/userinfo`.

## Create a User

Our last step in the Okta setup is to create a test user that we will use to
log in to the application.

1. Go to the **Users** section of the Okta admin dashboard.
2. Click on the **Add Person** button.
3. Enter all appropriate user info. Under password, select **Set by admin** and input a password for the user. Also deselect the **User must change password on first login** option. You will use the username and password to log in. These settings will only be used for testing purposes and are not best practices for user creation and security.
4. Click the **Save** button to create the user.

## Summary

* You created an Okta application.
* You updated the Okta configuration information in the local application.
* You created a test Okta user.

# Find or create Box app users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/find-or-create-box-users



<ProgressBar />

At this point we have application code that will handle traffic from users
visiting, forward them to Okta to login, provide Okta user information, before
finally handing off to a yet to be created handler for Box.

This section will cover the final Box components:

* Validating if an Okta user has an associated Box app user account.
* Creating a new app user for the associated Okta record if they don't.
* Fetching tokens for the Box user to make user-specific API calls.

## Create Platform App Users

Before validating users we need a method for creating an associated Box user
account if one doesn't already exist for the Okta user.

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the `server.js` file created in
  step 1.

  Add the following `box` object into the file and save.

  ```js theme={null}
  const box = (() => {
      const configJSON = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(path.resolve(__dirname, './config.json')));
      const sdk = boxSDK.getPreconfiguredInstance(configJSON);
      const client = sdk.getAppAuthClient('enterprise');

      let oktaRecord = {};
      let userId = '';
      let userClient;

      function validateUser(userInfo, res) {
          // TODO: VALIDATE USER
      }

      function createUser(res) {
          // TODO: CREATE USER
      }

      return {
          validateUser,
          createUser
      };
  })();
  ```

  This object defines a number of items:

  * Configuration: A new instance of the Box Node SDK is instantiated and made available to the object functions, along with a number of variables.
  * `validateUser` function: Will house the code to validate whether a Box user exists for an associated Okta user.
  * `createUser` function: Creates a new Box user bound to the associated Okta user ID.

  With that structure defined, replace the `// TODO: CREATE USER` section with
  the following code.

  ```js theme={null}
  const spaceAmount = 1073741824;   // ~ 1gb

  client.enterprise.addAppUser(
      this.oktaRecord.name,
      {
        space_amount: spaceAmount,
        external_app_user_id: this.oktaRecord.sub
      }
  ).then(appUser => {
      res.send(`New user created: ${appUser.name}`);
  });
  ```

  This code will create a new Box app user and will set the
  `external_app_user_id` parameter of the user object to the unique Okta user ID,
  which will define the binding between the two user records.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the
  `/src/main/java/com/box/sample/Application.java` file created in step 1, or
  similar directory if an alternate application name was used.

  Within the `public class Application` definition, add the following methods:

  ```java theme={null}
  static String validateUser(OidcUser user) throws IOException {
      // TODO: VALIDATE USER
  }

  static String createUser(OidcUser user) {
      // TODO: CREATE USER
  }
  ```

  These methods will handle the Box user validation and creation. Breaking them
  down:

  * `validateUser`: Will house the code to validate whether a Box user exists for an associated Okta user.
  * `createUser`: Creates a new Box user bound to the associated Okta user ID.

  With those methods defined, replace `# TODO: CREATE USER` with the following
  code:

  ```java theme={null}
  String oktaName = (String) user.getAttributes().get("name");
  Object oktaSub = user.getAttributes().get("sub");

  CreateUserParams params = new CreateUserParams();
  params.setExternalAppUserId((String) oktaSub);
  BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo = BoxUser.createAppUser(api, oktaName, params);

  return "New User Created: " + createdUserInfo.getName();
  ```

  This code will create a new Box app user and will set the
  `external_app_user_id` parameter of the user object to the unique Okta user ID,
  which will define the binding between the two user records.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the `server.py` file created in step
  1\.

  Add the following `Box` class object to the existing code, below the route
  definitions.

  ```python theme={null}
  # Box user class
  class Box(object):
      def __init__(self):
          # Instantiate Box Client instance
          auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('../config.json')
          self.box_client = Client(auth)

      # Validate if Box user exists
      def validateUser(self, g):
          # TODO: VALIDATE USER

      # Create new Box user
      def createUser(self, ouser):
          # TODO: CREATE USER
  ```

  This class defines:

  * `init`: When initialized, a new instance of the Box Python SDK is instantiated and made available to the object methods.
  * `validateUser` method: Accepting a user object as input, this will house the code to validate whether a Box user exists for an associated Okta user.
  * `createUser` method: Accepting a user object as input, this creates a new Box user bound to the associated Okta user ID.

  With that class defined, replace the `# TODO: CREATE USER` section with
  the following code.

  ```python theme={null}
  user_name = f'{ouser.profile.firstName} {ouser.profile.lastName}'
  uid = ouser.id
  space = 1073741824

  user = self.box_client.create_user(user_name, None, space_amount=space, external_app_user_id=uid)
  return f'New user created: {user_name}'
  ```

  This code will create a new Box app user and will set the
  `external_app_user_id` parameter of the user object to the unique Okta user ID,
  which will define the binding between the two user records.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Within the `Controllers` > `AccountController.cs` file, inside the associated
  `AccountController` class, add the following method.

  ```csharp theme={null}
  static async Task validateUser(string name, string sub)
  {
      // Configure Box SDK instance
      var reader = new StreamReader("config.json");
      var json = reader.ReadToEnd();
      var config = BoxConfig.CreateFromJsonString(json);
      var sdk = new BoxJWTAuth(config);
      var token = sdk.AdminToken();
      BoxClient client = sdk.AdminClient(token);

      // Search for matching Box app user for Okta ID
      BoxCollection<BoxUser> users = await client.UsersManager.GetEnterpriseUsersAsync(externalAppUserId:sub);
      System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(users.TotalCount);

      if (users.TotalCount > 0)
      {
           // TODO: VALIDATE USER
      }
      else
      {
          // TODO: CREATE USER
      }
  }
  ```

  Within the code block a new Box .NET SDK client is created using the
  `config.json` file downloaded in step 2. In the case of this code sample, that
  `config.json` file is stored at the root of the local application directory.

  That client is then used to search all users in the Box enterprise, passing in
  the Okta `sub` unique ID as the `externalAppUserId` search parameter. The
  number of users returned is then checked to see if a valid user was found.

  With that structure defined, replace the // TODO: CREATE USER section with the
  following code.

  ```csharp theme={null}
  var userRequest = new BoxUserRequest()
  {
      Name = name,
      ExternalAppUserId = sub,
      IsPlatformAccessOnly = true
  };
  var user = await client.UsersManager.CreateEnterpriseUserAsync(userRequest);
  System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("New user created: " + user.Name);
  ```

  This code will create a new Box app user and will set the
  `external_app_user_id` parameter of the user object to the unique Okta user ID,
  which will define the binding between the two user records.

  A diagnostic message is then written back stating that the new user was created.

## Validate Okta Users

With the create user functionality defined, let's turn our attention to
defining the code for validating whether an Okta user record has an associated
Box user record by searching all Box enterprise users for the associated
`external_app_user_id`.

<Choice>
  Replace the `// TODO: VALIDATE USER` comment with the following:

  ```js theme={null}
  this.oktaRecord = userInfo

  client.enterprise.getUsers({ "external_app_user_id": this.oktaRecord.sub })
      .then((result) => {
          if (result.total_count > 0) {
              // TODO: MAKE AUTHENTICATED USER CALL
          } else {
              // User not found - create user
              this.createUser();
          }
      });
  ```

  Using the Box Node SDK, we call `enterprise.getUsers` to search all enterprise
  users, and pass in the unique Okta user ID as the `external_app_user_id` value
  to search specifically for that user.

  If found (number of records is greater than 0) we can make an
  authenticated call to the Box APIs using that user record, which will be
  defined in the next section.

  If not found, we call the `createUser` function we defined in the last section
  to create a new Box user with that `external_app_user_id` association.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `// TODO: VALIDATE USER` comment with the following:

  ```java theme={null}
  // Set up Box enterprise client
  Reader reader = new FileReader("config.json");
  BoxConfig config = BoxConfig.readFrom(reader);
  api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(config);

  // Get Okta user sub for unique ID attachment to Box user
  Object oktaSub = user.getAttributes().get("sub");

  // Check enterprise users for matching external_app_user_id against Okta sub
  URL url = new URL("https://api.box.com/2.0/users?external_app_user_id=" + oktaSub);
  BoxAPIRequest request = new BoxAPIRequest(api, url, "GET");
  BoxJSONResponse jsonResponse = (BoxJSONResponse) request.send();
  JsonObject jsonObj = jsonResponse.getJsonObject();
  JsonValue totalCount = jsonObj.get("total_count");

  // Set return string
  String outputString = "";

  if (totalCount.asInt() > 0) {
      // TODO: MAKE AUTHENTICATED USER CALL
  } else {
      outputString = createUser(user);
  }

  return outputString;
  ```

  Using the Box Java SDK generic request method, we make a call directly to the
  `https://api.box.com/2.0/users` endpoint to search enterprise users, passing in
  the unique Okta user ID as the `external_app_user_id` value to search
  specifically for that user.

  If found (number of records is greater than 0) we can make an
  authenticated call to the Box APIs using that user record, which will be
  defined in the next section.

  If not found, we call the `createUser` function we defined in the last section
  to create a new Box user with that `external_app_user_id` association.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `# TODO: VALIDATE USER` comment with the following:

  ```python theme={null}
  # Fetch Okta user ID
  uid = g.user.id

  # Validate is user exists
  url = f'https://api.box.com/2.0/users?external_app_user_id={uid}'
  response = self.box_client.make_request('GET', url)
  user_info = response.json()

  # If user not found, create user, otherwise fetch user token
  if (user_info['total_count'] == 0):
      self.createUser(g.user)
  else:
      # TODO: MAKE AUTHENTICATED USER CALL
  ```

  Using the Box Python SDK generic request method, we make a call directly to the
  `https://api.box.com/2.0/users` endpoint to search enterprise users, passing in
  the unique Okta user ID as the `external_app_user_id` value to search
  specifically for that user.

  If found (number of records is greater than 0) we can make an
  authenticated call to the Box APIs using that user record, which will be
  defined in the next section.

  If not found, we call the `createUser` function we defined in the last section
  to create a new Box user with that `external_app_user_id` association.
</Choice>

  var userId = users.Entries[0].Id;
  var userToken = sdk.UserToken(userId);
  BoxClient userClient = sdk.UserClient(userToken, userId);

  // TODO: MAKE AUTHENTICATED USER CALL
  ```

  If a valid user is found, the Box ID is extracted and used to generate a Box
  SDK client that is scoped specifically for that user, rather than the
  application.

## Make Authenticated Box User Calls

Once an associated Box user is found for the Okta user we're going to generate
an access token specifically
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/user-access-tokens">scoped for that user</Link> to make Box
API calls, then make a call to get the current user to ensure that everything
is working and that we have a valid user access token.

<Choice>
  Replace `// TODO: MAKE AUTHENTICATED USER CALL` from the previous section with
  the following:

  ```js theme={null}

  this.userClient.users.get(this.userClient.CURRENT_USER_ID)
      .then(currentUser => {
          res.send(`Hello ${currentUser.name}`);
      });
  ```

  With a user found we capture the Box user ID, then generate a user client
  object scoped for that user. We finish by making a call to fetch the current
  user with the user client object, which should return the user profile
  information for the Okta associated Box app user.

  JsonObject userRecord = (JsonObject) entries.get(0);
  JsonValue userId = userRecord.get("id");

  // Get user scoped access token and fetch current user with it
  BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection userApi = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppUserConnection(userId.asString(), config);
  BoxUser currentUser = BoxUser.getCurrentUser(userApi);
  BoxUser.Info currentUserInfo = currentUser.getInfo();

  outputString = "Hello " + currentUserInfo.getName();
  ```

  With a user found we capture the Box user ID, then generate a user client
  object scoped for that user. We finish by making a call to fetch the current

# Connect Okta identities to Box App Users in a web app
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/index



[Okta][okta] is a popular access management and identity platform used by
companies to provide a unified method for managing and authenticating into
multiple applications with a single set of credentials and a single secure
dashboard.

When connected to a custom Box application, the [Okta APIs][okta-dev] may be
used to provide a single login mechanism to identify users within the Box
application, allowing you to have a unified experience between your unified
identity system (Okta) and the Box APIs.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Okta Dashboard" />
</Frame>

## Overview

This quick start guide will walk you through how to programmatically use Okta to
log in to a Box application, provision an app user in Box that is linked to
the Okta user, then make Box API calls on behalf of that user.

This will take you through the following steps.

1. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/scaffold-application-code">Scaffold your application code</Link> so that we have a web application that we can log in to.
2. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/configure-okta">Setup and configure your Okta application</Link> and create a first user that we can use to log into the web app with, and eventually create a Box account for.
3. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/configure-box">Setup and configure your Box application</Link> so that we can connect your web application to Box.
4. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/logging-into-app">Create a log in flow for your application</Link>, allowing the Okta user to log in to your web application.
5. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/find-or-create-box-users">Find an existing Box user, and optionally create a Box user</Link> the first time that Okta user logs into your web application.
6. <Link href="/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/run-the-app">And finally, run the application</Link> and the see the complete flow in action.

At the end of the tutorial we will output a single message to the browser. If
this is the first time an Okta user logs in to Box via the application, an
associated Box user will be created and the message
`New user created: {{USERNAME}}` will be output to the browser.

When attempting to log in with this user in subsequent attempts, a message
stating `Hello {{USERNAME}}` will now be output to the browser.

<Warning>
  To simplify this guide we will not create any user interface for the web
  application. Instead we will provide some output via the application console /
  terminal and directly as text output in the browser.

# Logging into the app with Okta
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/connect-okta-to-app-users/logging-into-app



<ProgressBar />

With the Okta, Box, and basic application set up, we can turn our attention to
the first step in the application code flow, the Okta login.

During the Okta login we will employ the OpenID Connect (OIDC) frameworks of
the language used to redirect the user to Okta to log in and pass Okta user
information back to the application. Those Okta user details will in turn be
used to validate and create Box users in the next step.

This section will walk you through:

* Setting up the application configuration skeleton.
* Defining the routes for the chosen framework to handle user traffic.
* Passing Okta user information to the next Box user validation step.

## Set up the Skeleton

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the `server.js` file created in
  step 1.

  Start by copying the following package definitions and configuration
  information into the file.

  ```js theme={null}
  const session = require('express-session');
  const { ExpressOIDC } = require('@okta/oidc-middleware');
  const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
  const boxSDK = require('box-node-sdk');
  const config = require('./config.js');
  const express = require('express')();
  const http = require('http');
  const path = require('path');
  const fs = require('fs');

  express.use(session({
      secret: 'this should be secure',
      resave: true,
      saveUninitialized: false
  }));

  const oidc = new ExpressOIDC({
      issuer: `https://${config.oktaOrgUrl}/oauth2/default`,
      client_id: config.oktaClientId,
      client_secret: config.oktaClientSecret,
      appBaseUrl: config.oktaBaseUrl,
      loginRedirectUri: `${config.oktaBaseUrl}${config.oktaRedirect}`,
      scope: 'openid profile'
  });

  express.use(oidc.router);
  express.use(bodyParser.json());
  express.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({
      extended: true
  }));
  ```

  This sets up the Express configuration and Okta OIDC connector
  information. Express is set to use the OIDC connector and the Okta
  information that we saved in step 2 of this quick start is used to configure
  the connector for our Okta integration.

  Now add the routing details.

  ```js theme={null}
  // Redirect to Okta login
  express.get('/', (req, res) => {
      // TODO: HANDLE ROUTE
  });
  ```

  This defines the entry route for our application. When a user attempts to
  visit our application root (`/`) the code within this route will be run.

  Lastly, add the Express server initialization to listen for traffic.

  ```js theme={null}
  // Create server
  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
  http.createServer(express).listen(port, () => {
      console.log(`Server started: Listening on port ${port}`);
  });
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the
  `/src/main/java/com/box/sample/Application.java` file created in step 1, or
  similar directory if an alternate application name was used.

  Copy the following basic application structure into the file.

  ```java theme={null}

      // TODO: SET ROUTE

      // TODO: INITIALIZE SERVER
  }
  ```

  This sets up the needed imports, the `Application` class, and a standard shared
  Box API connection attribute, to be defined in the next step.

  Replace `// TODO: SET ROUTE` with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  @RequestMapping("/")
  String home(@AuthenticationPrincipal OidcUser user) throws IOException {
    // TODO: HANDLE ROUTE
  }
  ```

  The route mapping defines the entry route for our application. When a user
  attempts to visit our application root (`/`) in a logged out state, the OIDC
  connector will automatically push them through the Okta login, so we don't need
  to setup a redirect. When the user is in a logged in state, the code within
  this route will be run.

  Replace `// TODO: INITIALIZE SERVER` with the following to initialize the
  Spring Boot server to listen for traffic.

  ```java theme={null}
  public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
  }
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In your local application directory, load the `server.py` file created in step 1.

  Copy the following basic application structure into the file.

  ```python theme={null}
  from flask import Flask, redirect, g, url_for
  from flask_oidc import OpenIDConnect
  from okta import UsersClient
  from boxsdk import Client
  from boxsdk import JWTAuth
  import requests
  import config
  import json

  app = Flask(__name__)
  app.config.update({
      'SECRET_KEY': config.okta_client_secret,
      'OIDC_CLIENT_SECRETS': './client_secrets.json',
      'OIDC_DEBUG': True,
      'OIDC_ID_TOKEN_COOKIE_SECURE': False,
      'OIDC_SCOPES': ["openid", "profile"],
      'OIDC_CALLBACK_ROUTE': config.okta_callback_route
  })

  oidc = OpenIDConnect(app)
  okta_client = UsersClient(config.okta_org_url, config.okta_auth_token)
  ```

  This sets up the Flask configuration, Okta client, and Okta OIDC
  connector information. Flask is set to use the OIDC connector and the Okta
  information that we saved in step 2 of this quick start is used to configure
  the connector for our Okta integration.

  Next, add a `before_request` definition to be run before route handling is
  engaged. We'll be using this to capture our Okta user information, if available.

  ```python theme={null}
  # Fetch Okta user record if logged in
  @app.before_request
  def before_request():
    # TODO: HANDLE BEFORE REQUEST
  ```

  Lastly, define the entry route for our application, as well as a `box_auth`
  route.

  ```python theme={null}
  # Main application route
  @app.route('/')
  def start():
    # TODO: HANDLE MAIN ROUTE

  # Box user verification
  @app.route("/box_auth")
  @oidc.require_login
  def box_auth():
    # TODO: HANDLE BOX AUTH ROUTE

  return 'Complete'
  ```

  When a user attempts to visit our application root (`/`) the code
  within this route will be run. When we validate an Okta user, the code within
  the `box_auth` route will be run.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  In your local application, load `Views` > `Shared` > `Layout.cshtml`. Once the
  ASP.NET application loads this will be the visual component that is rendered.
  At the top of the page, insert the following.

  ```csharp theme={null}
  @using System.Security.Claims;

  @if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
  {
      <p class="navbar-text">Hello, @User.Identity.Name</p>
  }
  else
  {
      <a asp-controller="Account" asp-action="SignIn">Sign In</a>
  }
  ```

  If a user who is logged in to Okta visits, they will see the hello message. If
  the user is not logged in a sign in link will be provided to them.

  Within the line `<a asp-controller="Account" asp-action="SignIn">Sign In</a>`,
  `asp-controller="Account"` means that the to be created Account controller will
  handle the request, and `asp-action="SignIn"` states that the `SignIn` method
  in that controller will be enacted. Save and close that file.

  Within the `Controllers` directory create a new file, `AccountController.cs`.
  This will be the controller that is enacted when that sign in link is clicked.

  Copy the following basic application structure into the file.

  ```csharp theme={null}
  using System.IO;
  using System.Linq;
  using System.Threading.Tasks;
  using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
  using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
  using Okta.AspNetCore;
  using Box.V2;
  using Box.V2.Config;
  using Box.V2.JWTAuth;
  using Box.V2.Models;

  public class AccountController : Controller
  {
      public IActionResult SignIn()
      {
          if (!HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
          {
              return Challenge(OktaDefaults.MvcAuthenticationScheme);
          }

          return RedirectToAction("Profile", "Account");
      }

      [Authorize]
      [Route("~/profile")]
      public IActionResult Profile()
      {
          // TODO: HANDLE ROUTE
      }
  }
  ```

  When the user clicks on the sign in link the `SignIn` method in this controller
  will be run. If the user is not already authenticated they will be sent to
  `Challenge`, which will redirect the user to Okta to log in. This functionality
  is handled by the routing framework and does not require any additional code to
  enact. If the user is authenticated, they will be redirected to the `Profile`
  routing method.

</Choice>

## Setup Application Route

We now need to define the code that will run when our main route (`/`) is
engaged.

<Choice>
  Replace `// TODO: HANDLE ROUTE` in the main route with the following code.

  ```js theme={null}
  if (req.userContext && req.userContext.userinfo) {
      const tokenSet = req.userContext.tokens;
      const userInfo = req.userContext.userinfo;

      // If Okta ID is present, pass to Box user validation
      if (userInfo.sub) {
          box.validateUser(userInfo, res);
      } else {
          console.log('No Okta ID identified');
      }
  } else {
      res.redirect('/login');
  }
  ```

  What we are doing in the above is first checking to see if there is any Okta
  user information available from the OIDC connector. When a user logs in the
  connector will make the Okta user and configuration information available to
  our route within `req.userContext`.

  If user information is present, meaning the user is logged in to Okta, we pass
  the user information to `box.validateUser` along with the Express response
  object to see if there is an associated Box user available, which we'll define
  in the next step.

  If no user information is present, we redirect the user to `/login`. The OIDC
  connector will automatically handle this route and force the user through to
  the Okta login.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace `// TODO: HANDLE MAIN ROUTE` in the main route with the following code.

  ```java theme={null}
  // Validate OIDC user against Box
  return validateUser(user);
  ```

  The Java OIDC connector handles most of the heavy lifting for us. When a logged
  out user accesses this route they will automatically be pushed to the Okta
  login. Once logged in, an OIDC user object will be made available to the route.
  We pass that user object to a `validateUser` function, which we'll define in
  the next step.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace `// TODO: HANDLE BEFORE REQUEST` in the main route with the following code.

  ```python theme={null}
  if oidc.user_loggedin:
      g.user = okta_client.get_user(oidc.user_getfield('sub'))
  else:
      g.user = None
  ```

  This will check if an OIDC user is available, meaning that the user has already
  logged in to Okta. If available we set a user object using the Okta client
  object, and if not we set the user object to `None`.

  Next, replace `// TODO: HANDLE ROUTE` in the main route with the following code.

  ```python theme={null}
      return redirect(url_for(".box_auth"))
  ```

  When this code is engaged, if the user is not logged in to Okta they will be
  redirected to Okta to log in by the OIDC connector. After login, or if the user
  is already logged in, they will then be forwarded to the `box_auth` route code.

  Finally, replace `// TODO: HANDLE BOX AUTH ROUTE` in the `box_auth` route with
  the following code.

  ```python theme={null}
      box = Box()
      return box.validateUser(g)
  ```

  This creates a new instance of the Box class and calls the `validateUser`
  method, passing in the Okta user object. We'll define this class and methods in
  the next step.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace `// TODO: HANDLE ROUTE` in the main route with the following code.

  ```csharp theme={null}
  var subClaim = HttpContext.User.Claims.First(c => c.Type == "sub");
  var sub = subClaim.Value;

  var nameClaim = HttpContext.User.Claims.First(c => c.Type == "name");
  var name = nameClaim.Value;

  Task userSearch = validateUser(name, sub);

  Task.WaitAll(userSearch);

  return Content(name);
  ```

  This block will capture the Okta user account sub (unique ID) and name, then
  sends that data to the to be created `validateUser` method to find a matching
  Box user, which will be created in the next step.

# Create connection between SSO identity and app user
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/create-app-user



When a user signs in to a custom Box application for the first time using their
SSO provider credentials a new Box user will need to be created and associated
with their SSO user record using some piece of unique information from that SSO
user record. Typically the data that is used to make the association between
those two accounts is either a unique ID or an email address.

To make that association, a Box account may be created in a few ways:

* Using the `external_app_user_id` field of a Box user to store the unique ID from the SSO provider.
* Using the `login` field of a Box user to store the unique email from the SSO provider (managed users only).

## Create association with `external_app_user_id`

Using the `external_app_user_id` field of a Box user record is a viable option
for both app users and managed users, and is the recommended method when
associating a user record from an SSO provider with a Box user account.

### App user

To create a new Box app user with an `external_app_user_id` association to a
SSO user record you will need two pieces of information from the SSO provider:

* UID (required): The unique identifier from the SSO user record.
* Name (optional): To maintain uniformity between the records, the SSO user name may be extracted to associate with the Box user record.

Once available, make a request to create a new app user, supplying the optional
`external_app_user_id` definition in the user parameters.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={null}
  const ssoName = 'SSO User Name';
  const ssoUID = 'SSO User Unique ID';
  const spaceAmount = 1073741824;

  // Create app user
  client.enterprise.addAppUser(
      ssoName,
      {
        space_amount: spaceAmount,
        external_app_user_id: ssoUID
      }
  ).then(appUser => {
      console.log(`New user created: ${appUser.name}`);
  });
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String ssoName = "SSO User Name";
  String ssoUID = "SSO User Unique ID";

  // Create app user
  CreateUserParams params = new CreateUserParams();
  params.setExternalAppUserId(ssoUID);
  BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo = BoxUser.createAppUser(client, ssoName, params);

  outputString = "New user created: " + createdUserInfo.getName();
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  sso_name = 'SSO User Name'
  sso_uid = 'SSO User Unique ID'
  space = 1073741824

  # Create app user
  user = box_client.create_user(sso_name, None, space_amount=space, external_app_user_id=sso_uid)
  print('New user created: {name}')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Managed user

To create a new Box managed user with an `external_app_user_id` association to
a SSO user record you will need two pieces of information from the SSO
provider:

* Email (required): The unique email from the SSO user record.
* Name (optional): To maintain uniformity between the records, the SSO user may be extracted to associate with the Box user record.

Once available, make a request to create a new managed user, supplying the
SSO user record email address for the login.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={null}
  const ssoName = 'SSO User Name';
  const ssoEmail = 'ssouser@email.com';
  const spaceAmount = 1073741824;

  // Create app user
  client.enterprise.addUser(
      ssoEmail,
      ssoName,
      {
          space_amount: spaceAmount
      }
  ).then(managedUser => {
      console.log(`New user created: ${managedUser.name}`);
  });
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String ssoName = "SSO User Name";
  String ssoEmail = "ssouser@email.com";

  // Create managed user
  BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo =
    BoxUser.createEnterpriseUser(client, ssoEmail, ssoName);

  outputString = "New user created: " + createdUserInfo.getName();
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  sso_name = 'SSO User Name'
  sso_email = 'ssouser@email.com'
  space = 1073741824

  # Create managed user
  user = box_client.create_user(sso_name, sso_email, space_amount=space)
  print('New user created: {name}')
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create association by email

Creating a new <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">managed user</Link>
that is associated by the SSO user email address is the same process as
creating a standard managed user.

After the user logs in via your SSO provider, if the user doesn't already exist
as a Box user, extract the email address from the SSO user record and make a
request to create a new Box managed user.

# Find app user for SSO identity
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/find-app-user



When a user logs into a platform application with their SSO provider, the
first step that should be taken is to see if that user already exists from a
previous login attempt where a Box user record was already created.

If a Box user is found you should
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/user-access-tokens">create a user access token</Link>,
or make <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/as-user">as user calls</Link>, to access Box
APIs as that user.

If a Box user is not found you should create a new user with an association to
the SSO user record.

To search for existing users the <Link href="/reference/get-users">List Enterprise Users</Link>
endpoint may be used. Depending on whether you're using the
`external_app_user_id` or `login` method your query will look slightly
different.

## Find user by `external_app_user_id`

To search for enterprise users by the stored `external_app_user_id` value you
will need one piece of information from the SSO provider:

* UID (required): The unique identifier from the SSO user record.

Once available, make a request to the list enterprise users endpoint, supplying
the `external_app_user_id` definition in the parameters.

<Warning>
  You can retrieve app users for a specific application only if
  such app users were created by this application.
  If you use one application to search for users
  created by a different one, no data will be returned.
</Warning>

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={null}
  const ssoUID = 'SSO User Unique ID';

  // Check enterprise users for matching external_app_user_id against SSO UID
  client.enterprise.getUsers({ "external_app_user_id": ssoUID })
  .then((users) => {
      if (users.total_count > 0) {
          // User found, fetch user ID
          const userId = users.entries[0].id;
      } else {
          // User not found - create new user record
      }
  });
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String ssoUID = "SSO User Unique ID";

  // Check enterprise users for matching external_app_user_id against SSO UID
  URL url = new URL("https://api.box.com/2.0/users?external_app_user_id=" + ssoUID);
  BoxAPIRequest request = new BoxAPIRequest(client, url, "GET");
  BoxJSONResponse jsonResponse = (BoxJSONResponse) request.send();
  JsonObject jsonObj = jsonResponse.getJsonObject();
  JsonValue totalCount = jsonObj.get("total_count");

  if (totalCount.asInt() > 0) {
      // User found, fetch
      // Fetch user ID
      JsonArray entries = (JsonArray) jsonObj.get("entries");
      JsonObject userRecord = (JsonObject) entries.get(0);
      JsonValue userId = userRecord.get("id");
  } else {
      // User not found - create new user record
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  sso_uid = 'SSO User Unique ID'

  # Validate is user exists
  url = f'https://api.box.com/2.0/users?external_app_user_id={sso_uid}'
  headers = {'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + access_token}
  response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
  user_info = response.json()

  if (user_info['total_count'] == 0):
      # User not found - create new user record
  else:
      # User found, fetch user ID
      user = user_info['entries'][0]
      user_id = user['id']
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Find user by email address

To search for enterprise users by their `login` email you
will need one piece of information from the SSO provider:

* Email (required): The unique email from the SSO user record.

Once available, make a request to the list enterprise users endpoint, supplying
the email address as the `filter_term`, which is made available to search by
email or name.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js Node theme={null}
  const ssoEmail = 'ssouser@email.com';

  client.enterprise.getUsers({filter_term: ssoEmail})
      .then(users => {
          if (users.total_count > 0) {
              // User found, fetch user ID
              const userId = users.entries[0].id;
          } else {
              // User not found - create new user record
          }
      });
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String ssoEmail = "ssouser@email.com";

  Iterable<BoxUser.Info> users = BoxUser.getAllEnterpriseUsers(client, ssoEmail);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  sso_email = 'ssouser@email.com'

  users = client.users(user_type='all', filter_term=ssoEmail)
  if (users['total_count'] == 0):
      # User not found - create new user record
  else:
      # User found, fetch user ID
      user = users['entries'][0]
      user_id = user['id']
  ```

# SSO & App users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/sso-identities-and-app-users/index



Single Sign-On (SSO) services are often used as part of a company's **Identity
and Access Management (IAM)** solution. When deployed, these services grant
users the ability to securely authenticate multiple applications by logging in
once, with only one set of credentials (username and password).

Box is one of the applications that can be connected to the SSO service of a
company. Integrating these applications into your platform apps will allow you to
provision Box users on the fly for any of your end users, without those users
knowing they have a Box account.

<Note>
  Popular SSO services include `Okta`, `Auth0`, `Microsoft Azure AD`,
  `OneLogin`, `G Suite`, and `Ping Identity`, but there are many others that may
  be deployed.
</Note>

## Connecting SSO to apps

When integrating SSO services into a Box application programmatically, we are
referring to the following flow.

1. A user accesses your web or mobile application in a logged out state.
2. The user is redirected to your SSO provider to log in, typically via `OAuth 2` and `OpenID Connect`.
3. After login, the user is redirected back to your application along with their SSO identity credentials.
4. Your application does a check to see if an associated Box account already exists for this user.
5. If an existing Box account already exists for this user, the application uses the SSO identity to make API calls on behalf of that user in Box.
6. If there is not already an associated Box account for this user, a new Box user account is created based on the SSO identity. The unique user ID from the SSO service is then linked to the new Box user, creating an association between the two accounts. This new Box user is then API calls on behalf of that user in Box.

<Note>
  **Box web app and SSO**

  If you wish to connect your SSO service to the Box website instead of a Box
  application, Box provides a number of [integration options][sso-support] for
  supporting SSO integrations of the [Box web application](https://www.box.com)
  via SAML 2.0.

# Debugging your Box app
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/troubleshooting/debugging-your-box-app

A step-by-step playbook for diagnosing failed API calls, handling retries and timeouts, and using the App Diagnostics tool to troubleshoot your Box application.

When your Box application returns an unexpected error, fails intermittently, or stops processing requests, you need a structured workflow for finding the root cause. This guide walks you through one: how to read a Box error response, when and how to retry, how to set sensible timeouts, and which Box-provided tools to use at each step.

<SignupCTA>
  A free Box developer account gives you access to the Developer Console where you can reproduce issues with your own application and run the App Diagnostics Report.
</SignupCTA>

## Take a systematic approach

Most Box API failures come from one of a small number of causes: an invalid token, a missing scope, an item the app cannot access, a malformed request, or a transient server-side issue. Before you change code, break the failing flow into smaller, independently testable parts:

1. **Authentication.** Can your app obtain an access token? Is the token the right type for your auth method (OAuth 2.0, JWT, or Client Credentials Grant)?
2. **Authorization.** Does the token have the scopes the endpoint requires? Does the [service account](/guides/getting-started/users#service-account) or user have access to the target item?
3. **Request construction.** Is the URL, HTTP method, header set, and body exactly what the API reference specifies?
4. **Server response.** What HTTP status code and Box error code came back? Was the request retried correctly if it was transient?
5. **Downstream side effects.** If you call other systems from a webhook or worker, did they succeed?

Test each step in isolation with a tool such as `curl` or Postman before you dig into application code.

## Inspect the API response

Box returns a structured error object for most `4xx` and `5xx` responses. Always log the full response body and the response headers — they are the single most useful piece of evidence you can collect.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "access_denied_insufficient_permissions",
  "help_url": "/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/",
  "message": "Access denied - insufficient permission",
  "request_id": "abcdef123456"
}
```

Use the fields as follows:

| Field        | What to do with it                                                                                                                                    |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `status`     | The HTTP status code. Tells you the broad category (auth, permission, not found, rate limit, server error).                                           |
| `code`       | The Box-specific error code. Map this to a fix using the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors">Errors reference</Link>. |
| `message`    | A human-readable description. Often contains the specific field or value that failed validation.                                                      |
| `help_url`   | A direct link to documentation for the error.                                                                                                         |
| `request_id` | A unique identifier for the failed request. Include this in any support ticket.                                                                       |

<Note>
  Most Box API responses also include a `box-request-id` response header. This is a different value from the `request_id` field in the error body. Capture both when you can.
</Note>

For the full catalog of Box error codes by HTTP status, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors">Errors</Link>.

## Handle retries and timeouts

Not every failure is permanent. The right response to a transient error is to retry; the right response to a permanent error is to stop and surface it to the caller. Retrying a permanent error wastes quota and can amplify outages.

### Which responses to retry

| Status code                 | Retry? | Notes                                                                                                                                                 |
| --------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `408 Request Timeout`       | Yes    | The request did not reach the server in time. Retry with the same payload.                                                                            |
| `429 Too Many Requests`     | Yes    | You have been rate limited. Honor the `retry-after` header. See <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits">Rate limits</Link>. |
| `500 Internal Server Error` | Yes    | Transient. Use exponential back-off.                                                                                                                  |
| `502 Bad Gateway`           | Yes    | Transient. Use exponential back-off.                                                                                                                  |
| `503 Service Unavailable`   | Yes    | Honor the `retry-after` header when present. Check the [Box status page](https://status.box.com/) if it persists.                                     |
| `4xx` (other)               | No     | These indicate a problem with the request itself. Fix the request before resending.                                                                   |

### Use exponential back-off with jitter

When you retry, increase the wait between attempts so you do not pile retries on top of a service that is already struggling. A simple pattern: wait `base * 2^attempt` seconds, capped at a maximum, plus a small random delay (jitter) to avoid thundering-herd retries from parallel workers.

```python theme={null}
import random, time

def backoff_seconds(attempt: int, base: float = 1.0, cap: float = 60.0) -> float:
    delay = min(cap, base * (2 ** attempt))
    return delay + random.uniform(0, delay * 0.1)
```

When the response includes a `retry-after` header, wait at least that many seconds before retrying instead of using your own back-off value.

```yaml theme={null}
retry-after: 100
```

### Set sensible request timeouts

Long-lived requests tie up workers and hide failures. Set an explicit timeout on every HTTP call your app makes to Box, and let the timeout fire a retry rather than waiting indefinitely. Choose values that match the endpoint: small JSON reads can use short timeouts, while uploads and AI extract calls need longer windows. If you use a [Box SDK](/guides/tooling/sdks), automatic retries and exponential back-off are already built in.

### Make retries safe

Retrying a `GET` is always safe. Retrying a `POST`, `PUT`, or `DELETE` can create duplicates if the original request actually succeeded but the response was lost. To make those retries safe:

* For chunked uploads, reuse the existing upload session and re-upload only the affected part. See <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">Chunked uploads</Link>.
* Treat a `409 item_name_in_use` on a retried create as "the original request already succeeded" rather than a real conflict, when that matches your flow. For example, if you retry `POST /files/content` and receive `item_name_in_use`, list the parent folder and look up the file you just tried to upload — in most cases the first attempt persisted before the response was lost.
* Before retrying a non-`GET` request, check whether the resource already exists. For example, before re-uploading a file, call `GET /folders/:id/items` on the destination folder and compare file names and sizes; before re-creating a collaboration, call `GET /folders/:id/collaborations`.

## Use the App Diagnostics tool

When you cannot reproduce a problem locally, or you need to see exactly what Box recorded for a request, run an <Link href="/guides/troubleshooting/app-diagnostics-report">App Diagnostics Report</Link> from the Developer Console.

The report exports a `.csv` of every API call your application made in a chosen 24-hour window. For each call it includes:

* The HTTP status code Box returned.
* The API request duration.
* The `API Request ID` — give this to Box Support and they can look up the exact request.
* The resource, sub-resource, HTTP method, and timestamp.

Use the App Diagnostics Report when you need to:

* Confirm whether a request ever reached Box.
* Find the request ID for a failed call that your own logs missed.
* Compare call volume against your expected pattern (for example, to see whether retries are running away).
* Provide Box Support with the precise call they need to investigate.

<Warning>
  The App Diagnostics Report does not include API calls made in the last 48 hours, or authorization and token API calls. For real-time investigations, rely on your application logs first.
</Warning>

For step-by-step setup instructions, see <Link href="/guides/troubleshooting/app-diagnostics-report">App Diagnostics Report</Link>.

## Capture the request ID for Box Support

If you need to escalate to [Box Support](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/requests/new), include the full Box error response and at least one of:

* The `request_id` value from the error response body.
* The `box-request-id` response header from the failed call.
* The `API Request ID` column from an App Diagnostics Report.

With one of these IDs, Box Support can locate the exact request on the server side. Without one, investigating a single failure across millions of daily API calls is much slower.

## Debug common scenarios

The following checklist covers the failure modes most apps hit first.

### Authentication and token issues

| Symptom                                                                              | First check                                                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `401 invalid_token`                                                                  | The token expired or was revoked. Refresh it, or request a new one. See <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/refresh">Refresh a token</Link>.                   |
| `400 invalid_grant` with "Current date time must be before the expiration date time" | The clock on the host running your app is out of sync with NTP. Re-sync time.                                                                                        |
| `400 invalid_client`                                                                 | The `client_id` or `client_secret` in your token request does not match the values in the Developer Console.                                                         |
| `400 unauthorized_client`                                                            | A JWT or CCG application has not been authorized by the enterprise admin. See <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">Platform App Approval</Link>. |

For UI-side authorization errors (admin console messages), see <Link href="/guides/authorization/common-errors">Authorization common errors</Link>.

### Permission and access issues

| Symptom                                               | First check                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `403 access_denied_insufficient_permissions`          | The user or [service account](/guides/getting-started/users#service-account) does not have access to the item, or your app is missing the required scope. Confirm the item is shared with the service account if you use CCG or JWT. |
| `403 insufficient_scope`                              | The application scopes in the Developer Console do not include the one this endpoint needs. See <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Scopes</Link>.                                                          |
| `404 not_found` on an item you can see in the web app | Your token belongs to a different user (often the [service account](/guides/getting-started/users#service-account)) that has not been invited to the item.                                                                           |

### Rate limit and capacity issues

| Symptom                   | First check                                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `429 rate_limit_exceeded` | Honor the `retry-after` header and back off. Review which limit you are hitting in <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits">Rate limits</Link>. |
| Latency spikes plus 5xx   | Check the [Box status page](https://status.box.com/) for known incidents. Add exponential back-off if you have not already.                                              |

### Webhook issues

| Symptom                              | First check                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Webhooks never arrive                | Confirm the target URL is publicly reachable over HTTPS and returns `2xx` to a test `POST`. Check that the webhook is scoped to the correct trigger and item.                                         |
| Webhooks arrive but processing fails | Log the full payload, then replay it against your handler. Verify the signature before processing in production. See <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">Verify webhook signatures</Link>. |

## Check the Box status page

If multiple unrelated calls start failing with `5xx` errors, before you dig into your own code, check [status.box.com](https://status.box.com/) for a known incident. When Box has an active incident, the right action is usually to back off and let the existing retry logic ride it out.

## Next steps

* Review the full catalog of error codes in <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors">Errors</Link>.
* Tune your retry policy against the limits in <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits">Rate limits</Link>.
* Run an <Link href="/guides/troubleshooting/app-diagnostics-report">App Diagnostics Report</Link> the next time you see an unexpected failure.

# Add content to Box Archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/archives/add-content



To add content to an archive, you need to create it first. If you
have not done this yet, use the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/post-archives/">Create Archive</Link> endpoint.

## Add file or folder to archive

Use the <Link href="/reference/put-files-id">`PUT /files/:id`</Link> API endpoint to add a file to an archive, or the <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id">`PUT /folders/:id`</Link> endpoint to add a folder.
The `id` parameter is the ID of the file/folder you want to add to the archive.
To specify the destination, use the `parent.id` <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id/#param-parent-id">parameter</Link> in the request body.
This can be either an ID of an archive or the ID of a folder that is inside an archive.

[Update parent id of file]: /reference/put-files-id/#param-parent-id

# Box Archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/archives/index



<Note>
  Box Archive is available only for Enterprise Advanced accounts.
</Note>

Box Archive allows you to create and manage archives. An archive is a folder dedicated to
storing content that is redundant, outdated, or trivial. Content in an archive is owned by the enterprise,
and it is not accessible to previous owner and collaborators.

## Archives are folders

Archives are a special type of folders. Box Archive APIs allow you to create, list, update and delete archives.
However, there are other APIs that also work with archives or with content within archives.
For a full list of supported APIs, see the <Link href="/guides/archives/supported-apis">Supported APIs</Link> guide.

## Required scopes

Before using any of the Box Archive APIs, make sure you can access [Box Archive in Admin Console][Box Archive in Admin Console].
Your platform app must have the `GCM` and `Read and write all files and folders` <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/">scopes</Link> enabled.
If you plan to only view archives and not modify them, use the `Read all files and folders` instead of the `Read and write all files and folders` scope.
Additionally, to be able to assign <Link href="/reference/resources/storage-policy/">storage policy</Link> to an archive during its creation, your enterprise must have access to the Box Zones feature and your app must have the `Manage users` scope.

<Note>
  The `GCM` scope is not available in the Developer Console and needs to be enabled by contacting customer support.
</Note>

# Restore content from Box Archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/archives/restore-content



This guide describes how to restore content that you archived by mistake.

## Restore file or folder from archive

Use the <Link href="/reference/put-files-id">`PUT /files/:id`</Link> API endpoint to restore a file from an archive, or the <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id">`PUT /folders/:id`</Link> endpoint to restore a folder from an archive.
The `id` parameter is the ID of the file/folder you want to restore from an archive.
To specify the destination, use the `parent.id` <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id/#param-parent-id">parameter</Link> in the request body.
This is the ID of a folder (can be owned by any user) where you want to restore the file/folder.

To restore a file/folder to user's root folder, use `0` as the `parent.id` value. Additionally, pass the ID of the user in the
`parent.user_id` <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id/#param-parent-user_id">parameter</Link> in the request body.

[Update parent id of file]: /reference/put-files-id/#param-parent-id

# Supported APIs for Box Archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/archives/supported-apis



The basic Box Archive APIs allow you to create, list, update and delete archives, but you can use other APIs to interact with an archive or its content.
See the table below for the full list of those APIs.

<Note>
  Those APIs require the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#global-content-manager-gcm">`GCM` scope</Link> to be enabled in your application.
  This scope is not available in the Developer Console and needs to be enabled by contacting customer support.

  Additionally, some of the below APIs need to be enabled by contacting customer support to properly work with Box Archive.
  When contacting customer support, specify the user ID you plan to use those APIs with.
</Note>

| API Endpoint                                                                                                                          | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

# Allow a domain for collaboration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/create



An enterprise that normally restricts creating collaborations can
add domains, such as `example.com`, to a list for which collaborations may be
created within the enterprise.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaboration_whitelist_entries" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "domain": "example.com",
         "direction": "inboud"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.collaborationAllowlistEntries.createCollaborationWhitelistEntry({
    direction:
      'inbound' as CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBodyDirectionField,
    domain: domain,
  } satisfies CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.collaboration_allowlist_entries.create_collaboration_whitelist_entry(
      domain, CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryDirection.INBOUND
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.CollaborationAllowlistEntries.CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryAsync(requestBody: new CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBody(direction: CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBodyDirectionField.Inbound, domain: domain));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.collaborationAllowlistEntries.createCollaborationWhitelistEntry(requestBody: CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBody(direction: CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBodyDirectionField.inbound, domain: domain))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getCollaborationAllowlistEntries().createCollaborationWhitelistEntry(new CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBody(domain, CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryRequestBodyDirectionField.INBOUND))
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  BoxCollaborationWhitelistEntry entry = await client.CollaborationWhitelistManager.AddCollaborationWhitelistEntryAsync(
      "example.com",
      "both"
  );
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.collaborationAllowlist.addDomain('test.com', client.collaborationAllowlist.directions.INBOUND, callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The
<Link href="/reference/post-collaboration-whitelist-entries">endpoint</Link>
will require the `domain` to allow the collaborations between, and a
`direction`, which may be set to:

* `inbound`: Whether external users may be collaborated in on content in your enterprise.
* `outbound`: Whether your enterprise managed users may be collaborated in on content owned within an external enterprise.
* `both`: Both of the above.

Supply both parameter to set up the new allowed domain.

      domain, CreateCollaborationWhitelistEntryDirection.INBOUND
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}

# Remove a previously allowed domain for collaboration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/delete



Deleting a domain from the list of allowed collaboration domains will remove the
ability for collaborations to be created between your enterprise and users in
that domain.

To remove a domain from the allowed list, supply the ID of the list entry to
the delete request. This ID is returned when <Link href="/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/create">allowing a new domain</Link>
or <Link href="/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/list">listing the allowed domains in the enterprise</Link>;

# Allowed collaboration domains overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/index



Within the content and sharing settings for an enterprise, an admin can specify
[collaboration restrictions][collab-restrictions] for the enterprise. These
settings include the ability to limit collaborations to only a series of
allowed domains.

The allowed domain APIs are available to allow applications with
appropriate permissions to add, fetch, and delete these allowed domains
programmatically for the enterprise.

[collab-restrictions]: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404822772755-Enterprise-Settings-Content-Sharing-Tab


# List allowed domains for collaboration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/list



Listing the domains that are allowed for collaboration will return all domains
that permit collaborations to be created with the current enterprise.

There are no required parameters for the request, but `limit` and `market`
parameters may optionally be set to limit and page through the full result set.

  # Create a new Box app

  To create a new Box application that can be used to call the Box APIs, use
  the following steps.

  1. Go to the [Developer Console][devconsole]
  2. Select **Create New App**
  3. Select **Platform App** as the type of application to create, and click **Next**
  4. Select **OAuth 2.0 with JWT** as the authentication method, and click **Next**
  5. Give your Box app a unique name and click **Create App**
  6. Go to the app's configuration by clicking **View Your App**.
  7. Scroll down to **Application Access** and ensure that **Enterprise** is selected.
  8. Scroll to the **Application Scopes** section of the same screen and ensure that at least the following scopes are enabled: **Read and write all files and folders stored in Box**, **Manage users**, and **Manage groups**.
  9. Under **Advanced Features** ensure that **Perform Actions as Users** is enabled to perform actions on behalf of Box users.
  10. At the top of the page click the button to **Save Changes**

  <Warning>
    **App approval**

    Once the application is created it will still need to be approved by an
    enterprise admin before you will be able to make calls to the Box APIs.

# Configure Slack
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-slack



<ProgressBar />

The first step in this guide is to create and configure a Slack application.
This Slack application will act as a bot that listens for user events in Slack
channels, and responds to **slash commands** by users in those channels -
allowing them to share Box files and folders with the group.

This section will take you through the following steps.

* Create a minimal Slack application within the Slack API dashboard
* Configure the Slack application to send notifications to our application whenever a user joins or leaves the channel - allowing our code to update the Box Box group.
* Configure a `/boxadd` **slash command** that will allow users to share a Box file or folder with all the users in the channel.

## Create a minimal Slack app

Go to the **[Slack apps page][slack-apps]** and click **Create an App**. Add
an **App Name**, select your **Development Slack Workspace** from the dropdown
list where the bot will be deployed to, then click **Create App**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create a Slack App" />
</Frame>

Once created, you will be redirected to the basic information section of the
application. You may adjust the icon and description of your app within the
**Display Information** section at the bottom to customize the application
in your workspace.

## Configure the Slack app's event listener

Setting up an event listener for our Slack app will allow us to monitor for
events within the channel. For this bot, we want to monitor three
[Slack events][slack-events] in order to perform actions within Box.

* [`bot_added`][slack-event-bot-added]: When the bot is first added to a channel, it will get a list of all users in the channel, then create a Box group for those users. We can then use this group later on to add that group to any content that is shared with the **slash command**.
* [`member_joined_channel`][slack-event-member-joined]: When a new user joins a Slack channel they will be added to the Box group.
* [`member_left_channel`][slack-event-member-left]: When a user leaves a Slack channel, or the user is removed, they will be removed from the Box group.

To set up a notification URL to which these Slack event payloads will
be sent, Slack requires a verification step. When you set an event listener URL
for your bot application code, Slack will immediately send a challenge to that
URL to verify that it's valid. This will be an HTTP POST with a payload that
looks something like the following:

```json theme={null}
{
  "token": "Jhj5dZrVaK7ZwHHjRyZWjbDl",
  "challenge": "3eZbrw1aBm2rZgRNFdxV2595E9CY3gmdALWMmHkvFXO7tYXAYM8P",
  "type": "url_verification"
}
```

To set up the URL for the event listener, that URL that is set needs
to respond with a verification payload containing the challenge value back to
Slack during this step. The payload will look similar to the following.

```js theme={null}
HTTP 200 OK Content-type: application/json {"challenge":"3eZbrw1aBm2rZgRNFdxV2595E9CY3gmdALWMmHkvFXO7tYXAYM8P"}
```

To do this we will deploy a small bit of code to respond to the challenge
event. Choose your preferred language / framework below to get started.

<Grid>
  <Choose>
    # Node (Express Framework)
  </Choose>

  <Choose>
    # Java (Spring Boot Framework)
  </Choose>
</Grid>

<Choice>
  Within the project directory, run `npm install express --save` to install the
  Express dependency, then deploy the following code to your public endpoint
  along with the appropriate Node modules.

  ```js theme={null}
  const express = require('express');
  const app = express();
  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;

  app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
  app.use(express.json());

  app.post('/event', (req, res) => {
      if (
          req.body &&
          req.body.challenge &&
          req.body.type === 'url_verification'
      ) {
          res.send({
              challenge: req.body.challenge
          });
      } else {
          res.status(400).send({
              error: "Unrecognized request"
          });
      }
  });

  app.listen(port, function(err) {
      console.log("Server listening on PORT", port);
  });
  ```

  <Tip>
    [`Spring Initializr`][spring-initializr] is a useful service for
    auto-generating a new Spring boot application with all dependencies defined.
    This may be used instead of creating a blank Java application.
  </Tip>

  * From Eclipse, create a new project. When prompted, select a Gradle project.
  * Enter a unique name for the project, we used `slack.box` for this guide.
  * Open your `build.gradle` file and add the following. Ensure that the group matches the group that you used for the application. Once saved, refresh the Gradle project.

  ```java theme={null}
  plugins {
      id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.3.1.RELEASE'
      id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.9.RELEASE'
      id 'java'
  }

  group = 'com.box'
  version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

      }
      compile 'com.box:box-java-sdk:2.44.1'
  }

  test {
      useJUnitPlatform()
  }
  ```

  * Within your `src/main/java` path, create a new Java class file named `Application.java`.
  * Open the file, add the following code, and save.

  ```java theme={null}
  package com.box.slack.box;

  import org.jose4j.json.internal.json_simple.JSONObject;

          } else {
              System.err.println("Invalid input");
          }

          return returnJSON;

Now that we have the code to respond to the Slack challenge when adding an
event URL, we can configure that within the Slack application.

From your Slack application **Basic Information** tab, under
**Add features and functionality**, click on the button titled
**Event Subscriptions** and do the following.

* Toggle **Enable Events** to **On**.
* Under **Request URL** add in the public URL that you deployed the above code to, and be aware that we are listening at `{YOUR_APP_DOMAIN}/event` (such as `https://myapp.com/event`). Once you add the URL and click outside the field, Slack will immediately send the challenge to the URL that you were hosting the code at above. If the code responds correctly, you will see a green verified note beside the **Request URL** header.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Enable Slack Event Subscriptions" />
</Frame>

* Expand the **Subscribe to bot events** section and click on the **Add Bot User Event** button.
* Add `member_joined_channel` and `member_left_channel` to the events the bot is subscribed to. These will send events when anyone new is added to the channel.
* Click the **Save Changes** button at the bottom of the page.

## Configure the Slack app slash command

To provide every user in a Slack channel access to a file or folder in Box, we
can use a Slack **"slash commands"**. A slash command will allow any person in
the channel to share content they own in Box with the rest of the channel.

Through this command, a channel member will be able to type
`/boxadd [file / folder] [id]`, for example `boxadd file 1459732312`, into the
channel to share the file / folder with every user in the channel. To do this,
the file is automatically collaborated with the Box group of users that are in
that channel.

From the **Basic Information** tab of your application, under **Add features and
functionality**, click on the button titled **Slash Commands**.

In the page that comes up, click **Create New Command** and input the following:

* **Command**: This is the command that a channel user will use to share a Box file / folder ID with the channel. Use `/boxadd` for this quick start.
* **Request URL**: The URL that is listening for and responding to slash commands in our Slack bot. In this quick start we use the same event URL that was used for the app event listener section above.
* **Short Description**: A description of what the Slash command will do.
* **Usage Hint**: Additional parameters that may be passed to the command. In our case, that's the Box file / folder ID and type of content.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create Slack Slash Command" />
</Frame>

Click **Save** to add the command to our Slack app.

## Add Additional Scopes

When slash commands or notifications are sent to our application from
Slack they will contain a Slack user ID, which relates to the person that took
or was affected by the action. To translate that ID to a Box user we need to
get the Slack user's email, which we can then use to associate that Slack user
to a corresponding Box user. This action requires two extra scopes in the Slack
application configuration.

From your Slack application configuration, click on **OAuth & Permissions** in
the left menu, then do the following.

* Scroll down to the **Scopes** section.
* Click on the **Add an OAuth Scope** button under **Bot Token Scopes**..
* Search for and add `users:read` and `users:read.email`.

## Deploy Bot to Slack Workspace

The last step is to install the application into your Slack workspace. From the
**Basic Information** page of the app, expand the
**Install your app to your workspace** section.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Enable Slack Event Subscriptions" />
</Frame>

Click the button to **Install App to Workspace**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Enable Slack Event Subscriptions" />
</Frame>

Once the **Allow** button is clicked you should see a success message. Your bot
is now installed within the workplace.

## Summary

* You've created your Slack application.
* You've configured user event notifications, slash commands, and additional scoping.
* You've deployed your Slack bot to your workspace.

# Connect Bot to Box
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/connect-box-functions



<ProgressBar />

We're now handling and processing events coming from Slack, then obtaining all
information needed to connect with Box users and groups. We now need to
connect that functionality to Box functions.

In this step we'll expand several functions from the last step to incorporate
new Box features.

* Instantiate a Box client.
* Add a Box user to a Box group.
* Remove a Box user from a Box group.
* Fetch a Box group ID from a group name.
* Add content that is shared to a group.

## Instantiate a Box Client

To make calls to the Box APIs, you'll first need to set up a Box client.

<Choice>
  Within `process.js`, replace the `// INSTANTIATE BOX CLIENT` comment at the top
  with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  const boxConfig = require("./boxConfig.json");
  const sdk = box.getPreconfiguredInstance(boxConfig);
  const client = sdk.getAppAuthClient("enterprise");
  ```

  The `boxConfig` assignment line will use the `boxConfig.json` file you
  downloaded from your Box app at the end of <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-box">step 2</Link>. The sample above is
  assuming that you have it stored in the same folder as `process.js`. If that's
  not the case, change the path to point to where your `boxConfig.json` file is,
  and what it may be named.

  The last `client` assignment line is creating a Box client object which may be
  used to make API calls. At this point it is scoped to the
  <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account/">service account</Link> of the application, and not a specific user.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Within `Application.java`, replace the `// INSTANTIATE BOX CLIENT` comment
  within the `processEvent` method with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  this.fileReader = new FileReader("boxConfig.json");
  this.boxConfig = BoxConfig.readFrom(fileReader);
  this.boxAPI = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(boxConfig);
  ```

  The `boxConfig` assignment line will use the `boxConfig.json` file you
  downloaded from your Box app at the end of <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-box">step 2</Link>. The sample above is
  assuming that you have it stored at the root of the Java project. If that's
  not the case, change the path in the `fileReader` assignment to point to where
  your `boxConfig.json` file is, and what it may be named.

  The last `boxAPI` assignment line is creating a Box client object which may be
  used to make API calls. At this point it is scoped to the
  <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account/">service account</Link> of the application, and not a specific user.

## Add a Box user to a group

Let's add a function that adds a Box user to a group. When a bot is added to a
channel and needs to create a Box group with all users of the channel, or when
a single user joins the channel after that action, this function will perform
that task.

<Choice>
  Replace the `addGroupUser` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  function addGroupUser(groupId, email) {
      client.enterprise.getUsers({ filter_term: email }).then((users) => {
          if (users.entries.length > 0) {
              const userId = users.entries[0].id;
              const groupRole = client.groups.userRoles.MEMBER;

              client.groups
                  .addUser(groupId, userId, { role: groupRole })
                  .then((membership) => {
                      if (membership.id) {
                          console.log(`Member added with membership ID: ${membership.id}`);
                      } else {
                          console.log(`Member not added`);
                      }
                  })
                  .catch(function (err) {
                      console.log(err.response.body);
                  });
          } else {
              console.log("No Box user found to add to group");
          }
      });
  }
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `addGroupUser` method with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  public void addGroupUser(String groupId, String userEmail) {
      Iterable<BoxUser.Info> users = BoxUser.getAllEnterpriseUsers(this.boxAPI, userEmail);

      for (BoxUser.Info user : users) {
          if (user.getLogin().toUpperCase().equals(userEmail.toUpperCase())) {
              try {
                  BoxGroup group = new BoxGroup(boxAPI, groupId);
                  BoxUser boxUser = new BoxUser(this.boxAPI, user.getID());
                  BoxGroupMembership.Info groupMembershipInfo = group.addMembership(boxUser);
              } catch (Exception ex) {
                  System.err.println("User already present");
              }
          }
      }
  }
  ```
</Choice>

</Choice>

Since we're matching a Slack user to a Box user via their email address, we
first find a matching Box user using the Slack profile email. If found, a call
is made to add that user to the channel group. The group was created when the
bot was first added.

<Tip>
  The Box <Link href="/reference/get-users-id">Get User</Link> endpoint only permits user lookup
  by user ID. To lookup a user by email address, use the
  <Link href="/reference/get-users">List Enterprise Users</Link> endpoint and set the
  `filter_term` option to the email address you're searching for.
</Tip>

## Remove a Box user to a group

When a user leaves or is removed from a Slack channel, we also want to remove
them from the Box group so that they can no longer access the shared group
content.

<Choice>
  Replace the `removeGroupUser` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  function removeGroupUser(groupId, email) {
      client.groups.getMemberships(groupId).then(memberships => {
          for (let i = 0; i < memberships.entries.length; i++) {
              if (memberships.entries[i].user.login === email) {
                  client.groups
                  .removeMembership(memberships.entries[i].id)
                  .then(() => {
                      console.log('Group user removed')
                  });
                  break;
              }
          }
      });
  }
  ```
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `removeGroupUser` method with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  public void removeGroupUser(String groupId, String userEmail) {
    BoxGroup boxGroup = new BoxGroup(this.boxAPI, groupId);
    Iterable<BoxGroupMembership.Info> memberships = boxGroup.getAllMemberships();
    for (BoxGroupMembership.Info membershipInfo : memberships) {
      if (membershipInfo.getUser().getLogin().toUpperCase().equals(userEmail.toUpperCase())) {
        BoxGroupMembership membership = new BoxGroupMembership(this.boxAPI, membershipInfo.getID());
        membership.delete();
      }

This code will take the group ID, which will be the Slack channel ID, and get
all members of the group. If a matching member is found for the person that
left the Slack channel, based on email address, that person is removed from the
group using their membership ID.

<Tip>
  **Improving performance with a data store**

  While looking up group memberships to obtain a membership ID negates the need
  to store membership IDs in a local data store (like a database), this code
  can be made more efficient by having a data store that saves the Box
  membership ID with the user record.

  By using a local data store, the membership ID can be retrieved from the data
  store rather than having to call the Box API repeatedly to search for the
  membership ID.
</Tip>

## Fetch a Box group ID for a group name

The next Box function we need has two main purposes.

* Return the Box group ID of an existing group.
* If a group doesn't exist, create the Box group and return the ID.

<Choice>
  Replace the `getGroupId` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  function getGroupId(groupName, callback) {
      client.groups.getAll().then((groups) => {
          const group = groups.entries.filter((g) => g.name === groupName)[0];

          if (!group) {
              client.groups
                .create(groupName, {
                    description: "Slack channel collaboration group",
                    invitability_level: "all_managed_users",
                })
                .then((group) => {
                    callback(group.id);
                });
          } else {
              callback(group.id);
          }
      });
  }

      for (BoxGroup.Info groupInfo : groups) {
          if (groupInfo.getName().toUpperCase().equals(groupName)) {
              groupId = groupInfo.getID();
          }
      }

The code fetches all the groups in the enterprise, and then tries to match the
Slack channel ID to the group name. If any of the groups matches, the group ID
is returned.

If there are no matches, a new Box group is created and the ID of the group is
returned for use. The group will be named after the Slack channel ID since that
is a constant that is returned with both slash commands and user events, making
it easier to lookup without additional functions.

## Add shared content to a group

Finally, the main purpose of our whole application is to allow users to share
files and folders from their own Box accounts with everyone else in the group.

Building upon all previous functionality, the following function performs that
task.

  Replace the `processContent` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}

          client.enterprise.getUsers({ filter_term: email }).then((users) => {
              if (users.entries.length > 0) {
                  client.asUser(users.entries[0].id);
                  const collabRole = client.collaborationRoles.VIEWER;
                  const collabOptions = { type: itemType };

The code starts by capturing the Box group ID for the Slack channel, which
is where content will be shared to.

Since we want to share files and folders from the Box account of the person who
sent the slash command, we next capture their Box user profile based on their
email address.

Lastly, we make a call to collaborate content with the group via the group ID.

## Summary

* You've instantiated a Box client
* You've created Box group user add and remove functions.
* You've created a function to share content with the group.

# Handle Slack Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/handle-slack-events



<ProgressBar />

With the application scaffold in place, the next step is to build the handling
and processing functionality for user events, as well as the handling of slash
commands coming from Slack. Each one of these will eventually be passed to a
Box API endpoint to perform group and content collaboration tasks.

In this step we'll expand the empty functions we wrote in the last step. These
functions will perform the following tasks.

* Listen for new events and slash commands from Slack.
* Process those events and commands to route to the appropriate function.
* Process all Slack users in a channel to be added to a Box group when the bot is first added to a channel.
* Fetch profile information for a Slack user to get their email.

## Listen for Slack events

When the Slack application was configured, it was instructed to send events to
our application code for three events.

* When a user joins a channel.
* When a user leaves a channel.
* When a user enters a `/boxadd` Slash command.

Our application needs to have a public route that listens for those messages
from Slack. The payloads of these messages will look something like this.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json "/boxadd"-command theme={null}

  To start processing these events, load `process.js` in your preferred editor
  and replace the `app.post("/event" ...` listener with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  app.post("/event", (req, res) => {
      if (req.body.token !== slackConfig.verificationToken) {
          res.send("Slack Verification Failed");
      }

      handler.process(res, req.body);
  });
  ```

  When an event comes through, the listener verifies that the message came from
  Slack, using the verification token from our Slack application. If it's a valid
  request, the event payload is sent to our event process function.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Load `Application.java` in your preferred editor, then replace the
  `@PostMapping("/event")` block with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  @PostMapping("/event")
  @ResponseBody
  public void handleEvent(@RequestBody String data, @RequestHeader("Content-Type") String contentType, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
      int code = HttpServletResponse.SC_OK;
      java.io.PrintWriter wr = response.getWriter();
      response.setStatus(code);

      if (contentType.startsWith(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)) {
          wr.write("Adding content to group");
      } else {
          wr.print(response);
      }

      wr.flush();
      wr.close();

      if (! contentType.startsWith(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)) {
          JSONObject returnJSON = new JSONObject();
          String[] inputParts = data.split("&");

          for (String part: inputParts) {
              String[] keyval = part.split("=");

              try {
                  keyval[1] = java.net.URLDecoder.decode(keyval[1], StandardCharsets.UTF_8.name());
              } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
                  System.err.println(e);
              }

              returnJSON.put(keyval[0], keyval[1]);
          }

          data = returnJSON.toString();
      }

      processEvent(data);
  }
  ```

  When an event comes through, the handler will send an immediate 200 response
  back before code processing. Slash commands will be sent as URL encoded
  strings, while member join / leave events will be sent as JSON. If a slash
  command is encountered we respond with a processing message, otherwise we send
  the `HttpServletResponse` response.

  <Note>
    In this example we send a `HTTP 200` response before the event is fully
    processed. This is done because Slack requires a response to an event within
    3 seconds from dispatch. When the code execution takes longer than 3 seconds
    then a duplicate event will be dispatched by Slack.
  </Note>

  To make event processing easier, we want to standardize all event objects as
  JSON. If a content type isn't JSON it'll be the URL encoded string. If that's
  encountered the string is converted into a JSON object before being sent to
  `processEvent`.

  Replace `processEvent` with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  @Async
  public void processEvent(String data) throws Exception {
      Object dataObj = new JSONParser().parse(data);
      JSONObject inputJSON = (JSONObject) dataObj;
      String token = (String) inputJSON.get("token");

      if (token.equals(slackConfig.verificationToken)) {
          // INSTANTIATE BOX CLIENT

          process(inputJSON);
      } else {
          System.err.println("Invalid event source");
      }
  }
  ```

  This method will convert the JSON event string to a JSON object, then verify
  that the event came from Slack by comparing the verification token. If valid,
  the event is routed to `process`.

## Process Slack events

Next, we will want to determine what event was received and pass this on to the
right part of our application.

<Choice>
  Replace the `process` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  function process(res, data) {
      if (data.type && data.type === "event_callback") {
          const eventType = data.event.type;
          const channel = data.event.channel;
          const userId = data.event.user;

          getSlackUser(userId, function (user) {
              processUser(user, eventType, channel);
          });

          res.send();
      } else if (data.command && data.command === "/boxadd") {
          const [itemType, itemId] = data.text.split(" ");
          if (["file", "folder"].includes(itemType) && !isNaN(itemId)) {
              const userId = data.user_id;

              getSlackUser(userId, function (user) {
                  processContent(user, data.channel_id, itemType, itemId);
              });
              res.send("Adding content");
          } else {
              res.send("Invalid input. Example usage: /boxadd file 123456");
          }
      } else {
          res.send("Invalid action");
      }
  }
  ```

  The purpose of this function is to figure out if the payload from Slack is a
  user event or a Slash command, fetch any needed information, then route to the
  appropriate function to process the results.

  If the payload is a user event, denoted by `data.type` being set to
  `event_callback`, we extract a few pieces of information.

  * `eventType`: The type of event to determine if a user is leaving (`member_left_channel`) or joining (`member_joined_channel`) the channel.
  * `channel`: The channel ID, which will be used as the Box group name.
  * `userId`: The ID of the user, to look up their profile email which will bind to a user profile in Box that uses the same email.

  The process function then fetches the profile of the user by calling
  `getSlackUser`, and once obtained that user profile is sent to the
  `processUser` function to add or remove them from the Box group.

  If the payload is a slash command, denoted by `data.command` being set to
  `/boxadd`, the content of the command that represents the Box ID and whether
  it's a file or folder, such as `file 1234`, is extracted and split to get the
  individual values. Those values are validated for proper content.

  Once validated, the profile of the Slack user is obtained to get the email,
  then the user profile is sent to `processContent` to collaborate the Box
  content with the Box group so that everyone has access.

  <Note>
    The reason for fetching the Slack user's email in this step is because the
    file or folder is owned by the user, not by the application's service
    account. When we share content (by creating a collaboration) the action will
    need to be performed by a user who has sharing permissions on that file or
    folder. For this reason, we need to match the Slack user's email address
    against a Box user's email address so that we can create the collaboration on
    their behalf.
  </Note>
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `process` method with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  public void process(JSONObject inputJSON) throws Exception {
      if (inputJSON.containsKey("event")) {
          JSONObject event = (JSONObject) inputJSON.get("event");
          String eventType = (String) event.get("type");
          String eventUserId = (String) event.get("user");
          String eventChannel = (String) event.get("channel");

          processUser(getSlackUser(eventUserId), eventType, eventChannel);
      } else if (inputJSON.containsKey("command")) {
          String eventCommand = (String) inputJSON.get("command");
          if (eventCommand.equals("/boxadd")) {
              String eventChannelId = (String) inputJSON.get("channel_id");
              String eventUserId = (String) inputJSON.get("user_id");
              String cInput = (String) inputJSON.get("text");
              String[] cInputParts = cInput.split(" ");

              if (cInputParts[0].matches("file|folder")) {
                  processContent(getSlackUser(eventUserId), eventChannelId, cInputParts[0], cInputParts[1]);
              }
          }
      } else {
          System.err.println("Invalid event action");
      }
  }
  ```

  The purpose of this method is to figure out if the payload from Slack is a
  user event or a Slash command, fetch any needed information, then route to the
  appropriate method to process the results.

  If the payload is a user event, denoted by the event node being present in the
  JSON payload, we extract a few pieces of information.

  * `eventType`: The type of event to determine if a user is leaving (`member_left_channel`) or joining (`member_joined_channel`) the channel.
  * `eventUserId`: The ID of the user, to look up their profile email which will bind to a user profile in Box that uses the same email.
  * `eventChannel`: The channel ID, which will be used as the Box group name.

  We then route to `processUser`, passing in the return value
  from the `getSlackUser` method (a user object), the type of event, and the
  channel.

  If the payload is a slash command, denoted by the `command` node being present
  in the JSON payload, we extract a few pieces of information.

  * `eventChannelId`: The Slack channel ID, to be used as the Box group name.
  * `eventUserId`: The ID of the user who issued the command.
  * `cInputParts`: The type and ID of the command input, from a string such as `file 1234`.

  We then route to `processContent`, passing in the return value
  from the `getSlackUser` method (a user object), the channel ID, the content
  type (file or folder), and the content ID for the file or folder stored in Box.

The code starts by fetching the Box group ID for the channel, which will be
defined in the next step. Once obtained, it processes users as follows.

* If the user is a bot, it needs to initialize the Box group and add all current users of the channel as Box users in the group. This is to account for the bot being added to existing channels, and this is ignored if the bot is being re-added to a channel that they were already present in previously.
* If the user joined the channel it needs to add them to the group.
* If the user left the channel it needs to remove them from the group.

## Process Slack channel users

When a bot is first added to a channel, it needs to list all users
currently in the channel and create a Box group with those people in order to
create a baseline for the channel.

This code runs a number of actions in sequence.

* First, it calls the Slack APIs to fetch all members of the channel. The
* `limit` can be adjusted to collect more users in the channel.
* For every user that is found, it calls `getSlackUser` to get their profile, allowing it to map their email address to a Box user's email address.
* Each user is then sent to `addGroupUser` to add them into the group.

## Fetch Slack user profile

The last Slack related function is a utility mechanism used by the other
functions. It calls the Slack API to fetch the user profile
given the user ID provided by either Slack event / command or when fetching
a list of channel users. Since we're matching Slack users to Box users via
their email address, that is the field that we care about from the user profile
lookup.

<Note>
  Email addresses in Box are unique and cannot be used for multiple accounts,
  meaning that they can be used effectively for user account lookup.
</Note>

<Choice>
  Replace the `getSlackUser` function with the following.

  ```js theme={null}
  function getSlackUser(userId, callback) {
      const userPath = `https://slack.com/api/users.info?token=${slackConfig.botToken}&user=${userId}`;

      axios.get(userPath).then((response) => {
          if (response.data.user && response.data.user.profile) {
              callback(response.data.user);
          } else {
              console.log("No user data found");
          }
      });
  }
  ```

  This function makes a call to the Slack user profile endpoint, then sends the
  user profile information (if valid) to the specified callback.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  Replace the `getSlackUser` method with the following.

  ```java theme={null}
  public JSONObject getSlackUser(String userId) throws Exception {
      String usersPath = String.format("%s/users.info?token=%s&user=%s", slackConfig.slackApiUrl, slackConfig.botToken, userId);
      return sendGETRequest(usersPath);
  }
  ```

  This method sends a request to Slack to capture the user profile, then returns
  the response from that request, which should be a user profile JSON object.

# Connect Slack to Box Group Collaborations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/index



Slack is a popular communication and productivity tool, allowing for real-time
coordination when working with individuals or groups in and outside of the
company.

When connected to a custom Box application, the Slack channel structure, along
with the [slash command][slack-slash-commands] and [event API][slack-event-api]
systems, can be used to provide a logical grouping and collaboration system for
Box files and folders.

## Overview

This quick start guide will walk you through all the steps needed to group Box
users based on the channels they are in within a Slack workspace, and then
permit individuals within those Slack channels to share Box files and folders
with that group using a Slack slash command.

At the end of this tutorial you will have a Slack bot that will be deployed to a
channel in your workspace. This bot will create a Box group containing all the
people present in the channel, and then listen for a `/boxadd` command in the
channel. It will then parse that command and automatically collaborate the Box
fie or folder with the entire group of users in the channel.

<Frame>
  <img alt="/boxadd command in Slack" />
</Frame>

This guide will take you through the following steps.

1. <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-slack">Setup and configure your Slack app</Link> to handle the event notification and Slash command structures.
2. <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-box">Setup and configure your Box application</Link> to connect the web application to Box.
3. <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/scaffold-application-code">Listen for Slack events and commands</Link> when users join and leave channels, or share a Box file or folder with the group.
4. <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/handle-slack-events">Structure Box groups and file / folder collaborations</Link> based on the Slack events or slash commands.
5. <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/connect-box-functions">And finally, deploy the application to your workspace</Link> and invite the Slack app bot to your channels to begin listening for events.

## Requirements

This quick start guide has two requirements that are worth noting before we proceed.

1. **User emails need to match between Box and Slack**: We are connecting a Slack user account to a Box user account by comparing the Slack user email address. Therefore, a matching Box user account using the same email address must be present in your Box enterprise.
2. **You must have a publicly accessible server**: Slack will need to send event and command notification data to a public URL for your application. This guide assumes that you have a public location where your application code will be hosted, such as `https://mysite.com/`. If you don't have access to any public hosting then application platforms like [Heroku][heroku], serverless options like [AWS lambda][aws-lambda], or exposing localhost with services like [ngrok][ngrok] are all options that you might want to consider.

# Scaffold application code (Slack integration)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/scaffold-application-code



<ProgressBar />

With our Slack and Box applications configured, we're ready to write the code
for our application which will listen for incoming slash commands and events
from Slack.

This application will be split up into three parts:

* Set up the initial application skeleton and configuration information.
* Set up the handlers for Slack events and slash commands.
* Connect those handlers to the required functions in Box.

## Add dependencies and scaffold code

Let's start by scaffolding the files and minimal code needed to
run the application.

<Choice>
  * Either create a new local directory for your application or load the existing code created for the Slack event URL challenge from <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-slack">step 1</Link>.
  * Create a new `package.json` file, or update the existing one, inside the local directory, open it in your preferred editor, copy / paste the following into it, and save / exit the file.

  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "name": "box-slack",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "Box Slack integration",
    "main": "process.js",
    "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
      "start": "node process.js"
    },
    "author": "Box",
    "license": "ISC",
    "dependencies": {
      "axios": "^0.19.2",
      "body-parser": "^1.19.0",
      "box-node-sdk": "^1.33.0",
      "express": "^4.17.1"
    }
  }
  ```

  * Run `npm install` from the terminal / console to install the dependencies.
  * Create two files, `process.js` and `slackConfig.json` in the local directory.
  * Open `slackConfig.json` and save the following default configuration.

  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "verificationToken": "TOKEN",
    "botToken": "TOKEN"
  }
  ```

  * There are two values above that will need to be replaced with details from your Slack application. Replace the `TOKEN` strings with the appropriate values.
    * `verificationToken`: Load up your Slack application configuration page. Within the **Basic Information** page, scroll down to the **App Credentials** section. The **Verification Token** string will be available there.
    * `botToken`: Within your Slack application, go to the **OAuth & Permissions** page. The **Bot User OAuth Access Token** string is available at the top and was auto-populated once the bot was added to your Slack workspace.
  * Open up the blank `process.js` file, copy and paste the following code, and save the file.

  ```js theme={null}
  const box = require("box-node-sdk");

  const slackConfig = require("./slackConfig.json");
  const boxConfig = require("./boxConfig.json");

  const express = require("express");
  const app = express();
  const axios = require("axios");
  const util = require("util");

  app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
  app.use(express.json());

  // INSTANTIATE BOX CLIENT

  app.post('/event', (req, res) => {
      //HANDLE INCOMING EVENTS
  });

  const handler = (() => {
      function process(res, data) {
          // PROCESS EVENTS
      }

      function processUser(user, event, channel) {
          // PROCESS USER ADD / REMOVE REQUEST
      }

      function addGroupUser(groupId, email) {
          // ADD USER TO BOX GROUP
      }

      function removeGroupUser(groupId, email) {
          // REMOVE USER FROM BOX GROUP
      }

      function processContent(user, channel, type, fid) {
          // COLLABORATE CONTENT WITH GROUP
      }

      function processSlackChannel(channel, gid) {
          // ADD ALL SLACK CHANNEL USERS TO GROUP
      }

      function getSlackUser(userId, _callback) {
          // GET SLACK USER PROFILE
      }

      function getGroupId(groupName, _callback) {
          // GET AND CREATE BOX GROUP
      }

      return {
          process
      };
  })();

  const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
  app.listen(port, function(err) {
    console.log("Server listening on PORT", port);
  });
  ```

  This code contains all of the main functions that will be needed to handle and
  process the communication between Slack and Box. From top to bottom, the
  functions are:

  * `/event` handler: Captures all incoming Slack traffic, verifies the content, and routes them to the `process` function.
  * `process`: Parses the Slack event and routes the event to either Box group processing (user channel events) or to add Box content to the group (slash commands).
  * `processUser`: Handles user events, either adding or removing a user from a Box group by routing to the appropriate functions.
  * `addGroupUser`: Adds a user to a Box group.
  * `removeGroupUser`: Removes a user from a Box group.
  * `processContent`: Collaborates Box content with the Box group.
  * `processSlackChannel`: Adds all Slack channel users to a Box group.
  * `getSlackUser`: Utility function to fetch a Slack user's profile from their Slack user ID.
  * `getGroupId`: Utility function to fetch a Box group ID from a Box group name.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  A configuration file needs to be created to house our Slack credentials and
  URLs.

  * Within your `src/main/java` path, where your `Application.java` file is located, create a new Java class file named `slackConfig.java`.
  * Open the file and save the following into it.

  ```java theme={null}
  package com.box.slack.box;

  public class slackConfig {
      public static String verificationToken = "TOKEN";
      public static String botToken = "TOKEN";
      public static String slackApiUrl = "https://slack.com/api";
  }
  ```

  * There are two values above that will need to be replaced with details from your Slack application. Replace the `TOKEN` strings with the appropriate values.
    * `verificationToken`: Load up your Slack application configuration page. Within the **Basic Information** page, scroll down to the **App Credentials** section. The **Verification Token** string will be available there.
    * `botToken`: Within your Slack application, go to the **OAuth & Permissions** page. The **Bot User OAuth Access Token** string is available at the top and was auto-populated once the bot was added to your Slack workspace.
  * Open up the `Application.java` file that was created for the previous Slack event challenge setup and replace the content of the file with the following.

Since slash commands will transmit their payload as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` rather than `application/json`, we convert those payloads to JSON objects to standardize the input.
  * `processEvent`: Verifies that the event is from Slack, instantiates a Box client, and routes for processing.
  * `process`: Parses the Slack event and routes to either Box group processing (user channel events) or to add Box content to the group (slash commands).
  * `processUser`: Handles user event requirements to either add or remove a user to a Box group by routing to the appropriate functions.
  * `addGroupUser`: Adds a user to a Box group.
  * `removeGroupUser`: Removes a user from a Box group.
  * `processContent`: Collaborates Box content with the Box group.

# Test the bot
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/test-bot



<ProgressBar />

In this last section we'll test the full range of functionality of the Slack
bot.

* **Group creation**: When a bot is added to a channel, a new Box group should be created with all of the current channel participants. Only those people in the channel with matching Box accounts (based on email address matching) should be added.
* **User event functions**: When a user enters or leaves a channel, they should be added or removed from the channel group.
* **Content add functions**: When a user enters a valid `/boxadd` slash command, that content should be shared with the group through a new collaboration.

<Note>
  If you haven't done so already, ensure that all the code we've written so far
  is deployed as an application that is publicly accessible.
</Note>

## Testing group creation

When a bot is first added to a channel, there are a number of expectations.

* A new group is created with a name that matches the Slack channel ID.
* All people currently in the channel are added to the group, as long as their Slack email address matches an enterprise account with the same email.

When the Slack bot was configured in <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/configure-slack">step 1</Link>, we installed it within
the Slack workspace. To test group creation we need to add it to a channel.

From any Slack channel, invite the Slack bot, either through the Slack UI or
using a `/invite @bot_app_name` command.

Once added, verify that the group is created in Box and members have been
added. From a Box enterprise admin account, go to the
**[Users and Groups][box-users-groups]** section of the admin console. If
successful, you will see a group with an random alpha-numeric string as the
group name. This is the Slack channel ID, which is mirrored in the group name.

<Frame>
  <img alt="View Box Groups" />
</Frame>

Under the **Members** column, you should also see a number indicating the
number of Box users with matching email addresses that were found in the
enterprise and added to the group during group creation.

If you see your group and members, this step is a success.

<Note>
  If you see no members added to the group, and no errors being returned from
  the bot application, the most likely cause is email mismatch. Ensure that the
  email addresses used by the accounts in Slack match the emails used by users
  in your Box enterprise.
</Note>

## Testing user event functions

Keep the **[Users and Groups][box-users-groups]** section of the Box admin
console open and take note of the number in the **Members** column beside your
Slack group.

From the Slack channel with the bot invited, add or remove someone other than
the bot from the channel.

Refresh the users and groups section of the Box admin console and you should
see the members number drop or increase depending on if you added or removed a
user.

If the number of members changes, this step is a success.

## Testing content add functions

To test the functionality of sharing content with the group, you will need
access to two users in the channel, one person to share the content from their
Box account, and another person in the group to view their list of files to
verify that the content was shared.

From the Slack channel with the bot invited, type in the slash command to share
files or folders with the group, in the format of
`/boxadd [file/folder] [ID of file/folder]`, such as
`/boxadd folder 324554221`.

<Note>
  The file or folder ID specified needs to be content within the Box account of
  the person sharing it.
</Note>

To find the ID of a file or folder in a Box account, load up the file or folder
within [the Box site][box], then look at the URL. The ID will be the
last string in the URL, often right after a section which includes either
`/file/` or `/folder/`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Get File or Folder ID" />
</Frame>

Once the command is typed in, go to the [the Box site][box] account
of another person within the Slack channel and Box group. The content that was
shared should now be available to that account.

If the shared content is available to others in the group, this step is a
success.

## Next Steps

With our minima bot deployed we can now think about ways to improve the
experience on top of what we've created so far. Next steps in this
journey may include any number of different expansion areas.

* Add new slash commands for <Link href="/guides/shared-links/create-or-update">creating shared links</Link> for the files and folders shared with the group, allowing you to share the content with others who are not in the group and people outside your enterprise.
* <Link href="/reference/post-retention-policies">Creating retention policies</Link> and <Link href="/reference/post-retention-policy-assignments">assigning them</Link> to any content shared with the group, allowing you to control the lifespan and governance of shared content.
* Adding new slash commands for allowing people in the channel to <Link href="/reference/post-comments">comment on the files</Link> that are shared with the group.

# Sharing with Groups
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/groups



To share a file or folder with a group of users, create a collaboration using
the group ID, the ID of the file or folder, and the role or permissions level
the group should have when accessing the file or folder.

<Info>
  The collaboration roles are `editor`, `viewer`, `previewer`, `uploader`,
  `previewer uploader`, `viewer uploader`, `co-owner`, or `owner`. For a full
  description of each role, please refer to our [support documentation].
</Info>

## Nested objects

When creating a collaboration there are two nested objects within the request
body: `accessible_by` and `item`.

The `accessible_by` object specifies who the item should be shared with and
includes a group `id` and the `type`. The `type` field should always be set to
`group`.

The `item` object specifies what is being shared. It includes a `type` field
which should be set as `file` or `folder`, and an `id` for that file or folder.

[support documentation]: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels


# Collaborations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/index

Grant users and groups role-based access to files and folders, manage pending invitations, and apply collaboration domain restrictions.

Collaborations define access permissions for users and groups on files and folders, similar to access control lists. A collaboration object grants a user or group access to a file or folder with permissions defined by a specific role.

Use the guides in this section when you need to invite collaborators, share with groups, handle pending invitations, or manage enterprise collaboration domain restrictions through the API.

## How collaborations work

When you create a collaboration, you specify three things:

1. **Item** — The file or folder being shared (`type` of `file` or `folder`, plus its `id`).
2. **Accessible by** — Who receives access: a `user` (by ID or email login) or a `group` (by ID).
3. **Role** — The permission level granted to that user or group.

Box applies the same permission model through the API as in the Box web app. You cannot bypass content permissions or the [waterfall folder structure][waterfall] by using the API. Access tokens only succeed against content the authenticated user owns or is a collaborator on — see the <Link href="/guides/security">security overview</Link>.

Collaborations are distinct from <Link href="/guides/shared-links/index">shared links</Link>. Shared links provide URL-based access to an item. Collaborations grant role-based access to a specific user or group and appear in the item's collaborator list.

## Roles

The collaboration roles are `editor`, `viewer`, `previewer`, `uploader`, `previewer uploader`, `viewer uploader`, `co-owner`, and `owner`.

For a full description of each role, see the [collaborator permission levels][support documentation] support article.

## Collaboration status

A collaboration invitation can be in one of these states:

| Status     | Meaning                             |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `pending`  | The invitee has not accepted yet    |
| `accepted` | The collaborator has access         |
| `rejected` | The invitee declined the invitation |

You can list pending invitations for the current user with <Link href="/guides/collaborations/pending">`GET /collaborations?status=pending`</Link>.

## Users and groups

* **Users** — Share with a managed or external user by user ID or email. See <Link href="/guides/collaborations/share-content">Share content with a user</Link>.
* **Groups** — Share once with a Box group so every group member inherits the same role. See <Link href="/guides/collaborations/groups">Sharing with groups</Link>.

You can also build integrations that create Box groups from external systems and collaborate those groups on folders — for example, the <Link href="/guides/collaborations/connect-slack-to-group-collabs/index">Slack group collaborations</Link> tutorial.

## Enterprise domain restrictions

Admins can limit who can be invited as collaborators by allowing only specific email domains. Applications with the right permissions can add, list, and delete those allowed domains programmatically. See <Link href="/guides/collaborations/allowed-domains/index">Allowed collaboration domains</Link>.

# Get Pending Collaborations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/pending



To get the pending collaborations for a user, call the `GET /collaborations` API
with a `status` of `pending`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations?status=pending" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.listCollaborations.getCollaborations({
    status: 'pending' as GetCollaborationsQueryParamsStatusField,
  } satisfies GetCollaborationsQueryParams);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.list_collaborations.get_collaborations(GetCollaborationsStatus.PENDING)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.ListCollaborations.GetCollaborationsAsync(queryParams: new GetCollaborationsQueryParams(status: GetCollaborationsQueryParamsStatusField.Pending));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.listCollaborations.getCollaborations(queryParams: GetCollaborationsQueryParams(status: GetCollaborationsQueryParamsStatusField.pending))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getListCollaborations().getCollaborations(new GetCollaborationsQueryParams(GetCollaborationsQueryParamsStatusField.PENDING))
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  Collection<BoxCollaboration.Info> pendingCollaborations =
      BoxCollaboration.getPendingCollaborations(api);
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  pending_collaborations = client.get_pending_collaborations()
  for pending_collaboration in pending_collaborations:
      print(f'Collaboration {pending_collaboration.id} is pending')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxCollaboration> pendingCollabs = await CollaborationsManager
      .GetPendingCollaborationAsync();
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.collaborations.getPending()

# Share Content with User
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/collaborations/share-content



To share content with a user, create a collaboration using
the user ID or email
address, the ID of the content, and the role or
permissions level the user
should have when accessing the content.
The collaboration roles
are `editor`,`viewer`, `previewer`, `uploader`,
`previewer uploader`,
`viewer uploader`,`co-owner`,
or `owner`. For a full description of each role,
please refer to our [support documentation].

## Nested objects

When creating a collaboration there are two nested objects within the request
body: `accessible_by` and `item`.

The `accessible_by` object specifies who the item should be shared with and
includes a group `id` and the `type`. The `type` field should always be set to
`user`.

The `item` object specifies what is being shared. It includes a `type` field
which should be set as `file` and an `id` for that file.

Collections in Box are a way to group files, folders, and web links without
putting them all into a folder together.

<Warning>
  The only collection that is available via the API is the "Favorites"
  collection. The ID of this collection is [different for every
  user](/guides/collections/list).
</Warning>


# List User's Collections

## Download URL

When not using the SDKs, this API call will return a `HTTP 302 Found` status
code, with a `location` header containing a link to the download URL, which
looks something like this.

```sh theme={null}
https://dl.boxcloud.com/d/1/[long-random-string]/download
```

By using the `-L` flag in cURL we are able to automatically follow this
redirect.

<Info>
  In our SDKs this will result in the binary data to be downloaded. In the API
  this will result in a download URL being returned via the `location` header.

  It is possible to <Link href="/guides/downloads/get-url">get the download URL</Link> via the SDKs as well.
</Info>

## Download URL expiry

Although this download URL can be passed to a user's browser to allow them to
download the file, the URL does expire and should be requested again for any
further downloads.

## File not ready

If the file is not ready to be downloaded yet a `retry-after` header will be
returned indicating the time in seconds after which the file will be available
for the client to download.

This response can occur when the file was uploaded immediately before the
download request.

To download a specific file version, pass the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id-content">`GET /files/:id/content`</Link>
the ID of the file to get the content for, as well as its version ID.

## Download URL

When not using the SDKs, this API call will return a `HTTP 302 Found` status

# Download All Files in Folder using SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/folder



Sometimes an application might want to download all files for a folder. To do so
with the SDKs and the CLI requires traversing the folder tree, finding every
file and downloading it accordingly.

<Warning>
  It is important to remember that an application needs to have the
  permissions to access and download the files and folders in question. When the
  authenticated user does not have access to any of the files or folders, a
  `HTTP 404 Not Found` error will occur.

# Get Download URL
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/get-url



The official Box SDKs return the binary data when downloading a file. To get the
download URL for the data instead, use the following SDK methods.

<Warning>
  **Redirects**

  If you are not using one of our SDKs its important to make sure your HTTP
  client does not automatically follow HTTP redirects. When redirects are
  automatically followed, your code will detect the `location` header returned
  by the API and follow it to get the binary data.
</Warning>

## Download URL expiry

Although this download URL can be passed to a user's browser to allow them to
download the file, the URL does expire and should be requested again for any
further downloads. In most cases the download URL is valid for 15 minutes, after
which a new URL needs to be requested. This expiration time may be subject to
change without any prior notification.

[api]: /reference/get-files-id-content

# Download in Browser
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/in-browser



Sometimes an application wants to embed a file into a page as a HTML element. An
example would be when working with an audio player.

```html theme={null}
<audio controls>
  <source src="..." type="audio/mp3">
</audio>
```

In this case, using the regular <Link href="/guides/downloads/get-url">download URL</Link> does not work because the
`dl.boxcloud.com` domain does not support <Link href="/guides/security/cors">Cross Origin Resource Sharing</Link>.

Instead an application can use the following format.

```sh theme={null}
https://api.box.com/2.0/files/[FILE_ID]/content?access_token=[ACCESS_TOKEN]
```

<Warning>
  **CORS**

  For this to work the application needs to have the domain of the web site
  hosting this file added to the list of allowed domains in the <Link href="/guides/security/cors">CORS
  settings</Link>.
</Warning>

<Warning>
  **Downscope Token**

  Using this method would expose the Access Token to the end user, allowing them
  to potentially use this token to do more than intended. For this reason we
  recommend <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoping</Link> this token accordingly.
</Warning>

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED APIS" />

# Downloads
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/index



The Box API allows for downloading files to the application's server, or directly
by the end user in a browser.

## When not to download

Downloading a file is not always the desired solution, especially if the file is
only being downloaded for the user to preview, comment, or annotate. In those
cases we recommend using one of the ways to embed the Box experience straight
into your application.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/embed/")} title="Learn more about embedding Box" />

## Access Errors

It is important to realize that the application needs to have access to the
file that is to be downloaded. When the application is authenticated through
JWT, the user is authenticated as a Service Account. This service
account does not have access to files besides their own.

If this user does not have access to the file the application will receive a
`404 Not Found` error.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/getting-started/users/")} title="Learn more about different User Types" />


# Download Shared Link
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/shared-link



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To download the file for a <Link href="/guides/shared-links">Shared Link</Link>, first <Link href="/guides/shared-links/find-for-item">determine the
file</Link> for the link.

<Note>
  You cannot use the shared link to download folders. <Link href="/guides/downloads/zip-archive">Create and download
  the ZIP archive</Link> instead.
</Note>

Once the file ID has been determined, the file can be downloaded by passing the
`BoxAPI` header to the API.

<Warning>
  To get the Shared Link for an item the user must have at least viewer-level
  access to the item.

# Download ZIP Archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/downloads/zip-archive



To download all files in a folder or an entire folder structure, you have to create and download a ZIP archive.

## Create a ZIP Archive

First, you need to create a ZIP archive containing the files or the folder structure. You can include up to 10,000 file and folder IDs unless you reach the account’s upload limit.

## Extract the ZIP download ID

To download the ZIP archive, you need the ZIP download ID.
You can find it in the response you got when you created the archive.

Go to `status_url` and copy the ID located between`zip_downloads` and `content`:

```json theme={null}
25gvaXcIE4QJlinNiw2oHAQ==ZFs3Q2Xpd7pKBz7OyzXNrUaoW3aJxQRN5znAvyM-KpdEEPdWcQDKU-Dl85Ew
```

<Note>
  Download URL is valid only for a the time specified in `expires_at` parameter.

# File Requests
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/file-requests/index



Box File Request gives you a fast and secure way to request files and
associated metadata from anyone.  Using a drag-and-drop graphic
interface, you can create a web form that enables you to:

* Securely request files from anyone, no matter whether they have a Box account, without adding collaborators on a folder.
* Solicit additional information with metadata form fields, which you can set as required/optional.
* Enable extra security and tracking with link settings.
* Kick off automated workflows using Box Relay.

The **File Request API** gives you the power to create new file requests
based on an existing file request, update file request settings, activate
and deactivate, and delete file requests programmatically.

## Use Cases

The File Request API is especially useful in situations where folders are
automatically created when a new case, project, or customer is created in an
external system. For each of these folders a file request can be automatically
generated, allowing customers and other users to upload documents to the
project.

For example.

* **Case management** - In this situation each customer support case has its own associated folder and a new file request can be sent out to a customer, requesting them to submit case related documents to the folder.
* **Project management** - In this situation each project has its own associated folder for each project defined in an external system. The API can be used to automatically create a **"Client Documents"** folder within this folder, and a link can be sent to the client to allow them to upload documents on demand.
* **Employee "drop" folder** - In this situation every new loan advisor in a bank has a personal folder in Box. To help them work with their clients a "drop" subfolder is automatically generated for them with an associated file request, allowing their clients to automatically upload documents to their advisor's personal folder.

## Limitations

Currently, the API only allows the creation of new file requests by copying
an existing file request associated to another folder. Please check our guide
to create a template folder with a template file request.

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED APIS" />


# Create a template File Request
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/file-requests/template



Currently, the API only allows the creation of new file requests by copying an
existing file request associated to another folder. Please check our below
guide on creating a template folder with a template file request.

## 1. Template folder

First off, create a template folder that you can associate the template file
request to. This can be any folder really, but we recommend using a
folder that is only used for this purpose.

A folder can be created through the Box web or mobile interface, or through the
<Link href="/reference/post-folders">`POST /folders`</Link> API.

<Note>
  When using server-side JWT authentication, we recommend creating folder that
  is owned by the application's
  <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>. This way,
  the folder can't be accidentally deleted by a regular Box user.
</Note>

## 2. Template file request

To create a file request, navigate to the template folder in the web app an
d click the 3 dots at the top of the page. Then, select **File Request** from
the menu.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create a file request" />
</Frame>

In the next configuration panel, click the **Edit** button to visit the file
request configuration page.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Edit a file request" />
</Frame>

On the configuration page, you can set configure the title and description,
before saving the page.

This page will also have the ID of the file request in the URL. Make a note of
the URL as the number at the end is the file request's ID, which you will need
when working with the API.

```sh theme={null}
https://*.app.box.com/filerequest/2338423584
```

<Warning>
  If your template folder belongs to a JWT user, you will need to
  <Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">invite</Link> a managed Box user to the folder before
  it can be seen in the web app. Invite yourself to the folder to allow yourself
  to add a file request to the folder via the app.
</Warning>

## 3. Using a template

A template file request can be used to create new copies using the
<Link href="/reference/post-file-requests-id-copy">`POST /file-requests/:id/copy`</Link>
API. With the ID of a new folder in hand, you can copy the existing
request, including its title, description and form-configuration
to a new folder <Link href="/guides/file-requests/copy">with one API call</Link>.

# Change Folder Owner
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/change-owner



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To change the owner of a folder, first invite the user you wish to
transfer the folder to as a collaborator on the folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \

           "login": "user@example.com"
         },
         "role": "editor"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.createCollaboration({
    item: {
      type: 'folder' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField,
      id: folder.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField,
    accessibleBy: {
      type: 'user' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField,
      id: user.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField,
    role: 'editor' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField,
  } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}

  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}

  item = collaboration.item
  has_accepted = 'has' if collaboration.status == 'accepted' else 'has not'
  print(f'{collaborator.name} {has_accepted} accepted the collaboration to folder "{item.name}"')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}

  BoxCollaborationRequest requestParams = new BoxCollaborationRequest()
  {
      Item = new BoxRequestEntity()
      {
          Type = BoxType.folder,
          Id = "11111"
      },
      Role = "editor",
      AccessibleBy = new BoxCollaborationUserRequest()
      {
          Type = BoxType.user,
          Id = "22222"
      }
  };
  BoxCollaboration collab = await client.CollaborationsManager.AddCollaborationAsync(requestParams);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Invite user 123456 to collaborate on folder 987654
  client.collaborations.createWithUserID('123456', '987654', client.collaborationRoles.EDITOR)
  	.then(collaboration => {
  		/* collaboration -> {
  			type: 'collaboration',
  			id: '11111',

  				sequence_id: '0',
  				etag: '0',
  				name: 'Collaborated Folder' } }
  		*/
  	});
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Then, update the created collaboration by changing the role of
that invited user to `owner`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X PUT https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/1234 \
      -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
      -H "content-type: application/json" \
      -d '{
        "role": "owner"
      }'
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollaborationRequest requestParams = new BoxCollaborationRequest()
  {
      Id = "12345",
      Role = "owner"
  };
  BoxCollaboration collab = await client.CollaborationsManager.EditCollaborationAsync(requestParams);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  Collection<BoxCollaboration.Info> pendingCollaborations = BoxCollaboration.getPendingCollaborations(api);
  for (BoxCollaboration.Info collabInfo : pendingCollaborations) {
      collabInfo.setRole(BoxCollaboration.Role.OWNER);
      collabInfo.getResource().updateInfo(collabInfo);
  }
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from boxsdk.object.collaboration import CollaborationRole, CollaborationStatus

  collaboration = client.collaboration(collab_id='12345')
  updated_collaboration = collaboration.update_info(CollaborationRole.OWNER)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.collaborations.update('12345', {role: client.collaborationRoles.OWNER})
      .then(collaboration => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Depending on the settings, a user with access to a folder might be able to
  invite other users, yet in all cases only the current owner of a folder can
  transfer the ownership.

# Copy Folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/copy



Creates a copy of a folder within a destination folder.

The original folder will not be changed.

To copy a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with the `id` of the
`parent` folder that you would like to copy the folder into.

                  limit: 100 } }
          */
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Optionally, you can provide a different name for the new folder.

<Note>
  **Name restrictions**

  There are some restrictions to the folder name. Names containing non-printable
  ASCII characters, forward and backward slashes (`/`, `\`), as well as names
  with trailing spaces are prohibited.

  Additionally, the names `.` and `..` are reserved names and therefore
  also prohibited.
</Note>

## Asynchronous copying

If the folder being copied contains up to 500 items the copy will happen
synchronously with the API call. The call will not return until the copy
operation has completed.

If the folder contains more than 500 items the copy operation will be run
asynchronously and the API call will return directly yet before the copy
operation has completed. We currently have no API to check when a copy operation
has finished.

## Folder locking

During this operation, part of the file tree will be locked, mainly the source
folder and all of its descendants, as well as the destination folder.

For the duration of the operation, no other move, copy, delete, or restore
operation can performed on any of the locked folders. Most importantly, this
means that the same folder can not be copied to two different parts of the
folder tree at the same time.

## Metadata

If the destination folder has a metadata cascade policy attached to any of the
parent folders a metadata cascade operation will be kicked off asynchronously.

We currently have no API to check when this operation has finished.

# Create Folder Lock
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/create-lock



To create a lock on a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with the
`id` of the folder for which the lock should be applied. Optionally you may
supply the specific `locked_operations` to be applied with the folder lock.

<Note>
  **Folder Locks**

  When using any folder lock API endpoints, you must be authenticated as the
  owner/co-owner of the folder you are trying to access.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/folder_locks" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "folder": {
           "type": "folder",
           "id": "33552487093"
         },
         "locked_operations": {
           "move": true,
           "delete": true
         }
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.folderLocks.createFolderLock({
    folder: {
      id: folder.id,
      type: 'folder',
    } satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField,
    lockedOperations: {
      move: true,
      delete: true,
    } satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField,
  } satisfies CreateFolderLockRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.folder_locks.create_folder_lock(
      CreateFolderLockFolder(id=folder.id, type="folder"),
      locked_operations=CreateFolderLockLockedOperations(move=True, delete=True),
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.FolderLocks.CreateFolderLockAsync(requestBody: new CreateFolderLockRequestBody(folder: new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField(id: folder.Id, type: "folder")) { LockedOperations = new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(move: true, delete: true) });
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.folderLocks.createFolderLock(requestBody: CreateFolderLockRequestBody(folder: CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField(id: folder.id, type: "folder"), lockedOperations: CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(move: true, delete: true)))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getFolderLocks().createFolderLock(new CreateFolderLockRequestBody.Builder(new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyFolderField("folder", folder.getId())).lockedOperations(new CreateFolderLockRequestBodyLockedOperationsField(true, true)).build())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  **Setting Locked Operations**

  If the `locked_operations` object is included with a folder lock request,
  both `move` and `delete` need to be set to `true`. Supplying only one lock
  operation in the object, or setting the values of both to something other
  than `true` will produce an error. These options are in place to allow
  for additional operations in the future.
</Warning>

## Lock Operations

There are two possible lock operations that may be applied to a folder, `move`
and `delete`.

The `move` lock will prevent the folder from being moved to a new location or
owner while the lock is still applied.

The `delete` lock will prevent the folder from being deleted while the lock is
still applied.

# Delete Folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/delete



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To remove a folder in Box you will need to provide our API with the ID of the
folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/4353455" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.folders.deleteFolderById(newFolder.id);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.folders.delete_folder_by_id(new_folder.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Folders.DeleteFolderByIdAsync(folderId: newFolder.Id);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.folders.deleteFolderById(folderId: newFolder.id)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getFolders().deleteFolderById(newFolder.getId())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  // Delete the folder and all its contents
  BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(api, "id");
  folder.delete(true);
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  client.folder(folder_id='22222').delete()
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  await client.FoldersManager.DeleteAsync("11111", recursive: true);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.folders.delete('12345', {recursive: true})
      .then(() => {
          // deletion succeeded — no value returned
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Deleting non-empty folders

This API returns an error if the folder is not empty. When deleting a
folder, you can pass in the `recursive` parameter to force a
folder to be deleted even if it is not empty. This will delete all
items within this folder, including any of their descendants.

## Folder locking

The enterprise settings determine whether the folder will
be permanently deleted from Box or moved to the trash.

During this operation, part of the file tree will be locked, mainly
the source folder and all of its descendants.

For the duration of the operation, no other move, copy, delete, or restore
operation can performed on any of the locked folders.

## Timeout

Timeout for this operation is 600 seconds. The operation will complete
after a `HTTP 503` has been returned.

# Get Folder Lock
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/folders/single/get-locks



To get a list of the current locks on a folder in Box, call the
`GET /folder_locks/` API with the id of the folder supplied as a `folder_id`
query string parameter.

<Note>
  **Folder Locks**

  When using any folder lock API endpoints, you must be authenticated as the
  owner/co-owner of the folder you are trying to access.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/folder_locks?folder_id=33552487093" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.folderLocks.getFolderLocks({
    folderId: folder.id,
  } satisfies GetFolderLocksQueryParams);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.folder_locks.get_folder_locks(folder.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.FolderLocks.GetFolderLocksAsync(queryParams: new GetFolderLocksQueryParams(folderId: folder.Id));

  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getFolderLocks().getFolderLocks(new GetFolderLocksQueryParams(folder.getId()))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Folder ID

The `id` of any folder can be determined by visiting a folder in the web
application and copying the `id` from the URL. For example, for the URL
`https://*.app.box.com/folder/123` the `folder_id` is `123`.

# Download File Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/download-a-representation



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Use the`url_template` that was received when
<Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">selecting the representation</Link> to download
the representation. Replace the `{+asset_path}` depending on
the type of representation.

## Paginated representations

For paged representations like PDFs replace `{+asset_path}`
with the desired page number and the file extension, for example
`1.pdf`.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://dl.boxcloud.com/api/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/pdf/content/3.pdf \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

## Non-paginated representations

For non-paged representations, replace the `{+asset_path}` with
an empty string.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://dl.boxcloud.com/api/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/jpg_32x32/content/ \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

## Optional query parameters

When fetching the representation the following optional headers
are supported.

| Parameter                      | Options                 | Default |
| ------------------------------ | ----------------------- | ------- |
| `set_content_disposition_type` | `inline` / `attachment` | `null`  |

Sets the `content-disposition` header in the API response with the specified
value. A disposition type of `attachment` causes most web browsers to prompt
the user to save the response to their device, where the type `inline`
will open the file in the browser.

If not supplied, the `content-disposition` header is not included in the
response.

| Parameter                          | Options                    | Default |
| ---------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------- |
| `set_content_disposition_filename` | Filename without extension | `null`  |

Allows the application to define the downloaded representation's file name.

If not defined, the file name is derived from the source file name in Box,
replacing the extension with the representation's file type.

# Representations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/index



A representation is an alternative asset for a file stored in Box. These assets
can be PDFs, thumbnails, or text extractions. Representations allow you to access content in different formats without manually converting files, such as by extracting text from documents to send to language models for processing.

Representations are automatically generated for the supported file types, either
when uploading to Box or when requesting the asset.

These representations are exposed through the `GET /files/:id` endpoint by using
the `fields=representations` query parameter and the `x-rep-hints` header.

The workflow involves:

1. <Link href="/guides/representations/list-all-representations">Getting the list of available representations for a file.</Link>
2. <Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">Checking a specific representation's status and retrieving its `url_template`.</Link>
3. <Link href="/guides/representations/download-a-representation">Downloading the representation if available.</Link>


# List All Representations for File
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/list-all-representations



To see what representations are available for a file you can call the
<Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link> endpoint while requesting the
<Link href="/reference/resources/file#param-representations">`representations`</Link> field.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

The response will include a list of representations in the following format

```json theme={null}
...
{
  "info": {
    "url": "https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/jpg_thumb_32x32"
  },
  "properties": {
      "dimensions": "32x32",
      "paged": "false",
      "thumb": "true"
  },
  "representation": "jpg"
}
...
```

## Response fields

Every representation will include a set of properties and the type of
representation.

* The optional `dimensions` field represents the file's dimensions in pixels as width by height.

* The optional `paged` field specifies if this representation is a paged document. Some images and PDFs will often be paged documents.

* The optional `thumb` field specifies if this representation is suitable as a file thumbnail.

# Get Markdown Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/markdown

Generate and download Markdown representations using the Box API.

<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A markdown representation provides a way to extract text from a document while retaining structures such as headers, tables, lists, and formatting cues. Markdown conversion speeds depend on file size and content.

## Supported file types

Markdown representations work with the following document formats:

* Microsoft Office: Word (.docx), PowerPoint (.pptx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm)
* Google Workspace: Google Docs (.gdoc), Google Slides (.gslide, .gslides),
* Google Sheets (.gsheet)
* PDF files (.pdf)

## Create a markdown representation

This process describes how to generate and download a Markdown representation of a file using the Box API.

To first create a markdown representation:

* <Link href="/guides/representations/list-all-representations">Get the list of representations available for a file</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">Request a markdown representation</Link> by passing the `x-rep-hints`-header with the value `[markdown]`.
* <Link href="/guides/representations/download-a-representation">Download the markdown</Link> by calling the `url_template`, replacing the `{+asset_path}` with an empty string.

Generated representations are cached by Box for subsequent requests.

### Get available representations

Request the file’s available representations, specifying a Markdown representation hint.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET \ 
    'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345?fields=id%2Cname%2Crepresentations' \ 
    -H 'X-Rep-Hints: [markdown]' \ 
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.files.getFileById(
    "12345",
    {
      queryParams: {
        fields: ["id", "name", "representations"],
      } satisfies GetFileByIdQueryParams,
      headers: {
        xRepHints: "[markdown]",
      } satisfies GetFileByIdHeadersInput,
    } satisfies GetFileByIdOptionalsInput,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.files.get_file_by_id(
      "12345",
      fields=["id", "name", "representations"],
      x_rep_hints="[markdown]",
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}

      .GET()
      .build();
  httpClient.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.discarding());
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Check representation status

Re-query the file to check the current status of the Markdown representation.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET \ 
    'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345?fields=id%2Cname%2Crepresentations' \ 
    -H 'X-Rep-Hints: [markdown]' \ 
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.files.getFileById(
    "12345",
    {
      queryParams: {
        fields: ["id", "name", "representations"],
      } satisfies GetFileByIdQueryParams,
      headers: {
        xRepHints: "[markdown]",
      } satisfies GetFileByIdHeadersInput,
    } satisfies GetFileByIdOptionalsInput,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.files.get_file_by_id(
      "12345",
      fields=["id", "name", "representations"],
      x_rep_hints="[markdown]",
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Files.GetFileByIdAsync(
      fileId: "12345",
      queryParams: new GetFileByIdQueryParams() { Fields = Array.AsReadOnly(new [] {"id", "name", "representations"}) },
      headers: new GetFileByIdHeaders(xRepHints: "[markdown]")
  );
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.files.getFileById(
      fileId: "12345",
      queryParams: GetFileByIdQueryParams(fields: ["id", "name", "representations"]),
      headers: GetFileByIdHeaders(xRepHints: "[markdown]")
  )
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getFiles().getFileById(
      "12345",
      new GetFileByIdQueryParams.Builder().fields(Arrays.asList("id", "name", "representations")).build(),
      new GetFileByIdHeaders("[markdown]")
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When the status changes from `pending` to `success`, the Markdown file is ready to download. The status indicates if the representation is available. Available options are `success`, `viewable`, `pending`, or `none`. `Success` means you can immediately download the representation, while `none` indicates the representation can be generated.

### Download the Markdown representation

Once the representation is ready, use the `content/url_template` to download it.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}

# Get PDF Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/pdf



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A PDF representation provides a predictable way to embed documents
in mobile and web applications. PDF representations support watermarks
if the original file has been watermarked.

PDF representations are generated upon uploading the source file to Box, though
a watermarked PDF is generated upon fetching the watermarked file for
the first time.

## The process

To get a PDF representation follow the following steps

* <Link href="/guides/representations/list-all-representations">List all representations</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">Request a PDF</Link> by passing the `x-rep-hints`-header for the desired file type `[pdf]`.
* <Link href="/guides/representations/download-a-representation">Download the PDF</Link> by calling the `url_template`, replacing the `{+asset_path}` with an the page of the PDF to request, for example `1.pdf`.

## Watermarked PDFs

To retrieve a watermarked PDF the underlying file itself needs to be
watermarked in Box. You can watermark a file either via the Box web application
or using the <Link href="/reference/put-files-id-watermark">`PUT /files/:id/watermark/`</Link> API.

Once watermarked, a watermarked PDF representation of the file is generated.

# Request Desired Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/request-a-representation



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To select a specific representation call the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link>
endpoint with a <Link href="/reference/get-files-id#param-x-rep-hints">`x-rep-hints`</Link>-header defining the
required representation format.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \
    -H "x-rep-hints: [pdf]" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

When the status changes from `pending` to `success`, the representation is ready to download. The status indicates if the representation is available. Available options are `success`, `viewable`, `pending`, or `none`. `Success` means you can immediately download the representation, while `none` indicates the representation can be generated.

## Multiple dimensions

Some formats will require the `dimensions` to be passed in to select a
specific size. This can be achieved by appending the `dimensions` to the
header.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \
    -H "x-rep-hints: [jpg?dimensions=94x94]" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

## Multiple representations

Multiple representations can be fetched by chaining the different
types in the `x-rep-hints`-header.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123?fields=representations \
    -H "x-rep-hints: [pdf][jpg?dimensions=94x94]" \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

## API Response

This API call will result in one or more representations with a `url_template`
value that includes a `{+asset_path}` value.

```json theme={null}
{
  "etag": "1",
  "id": "123",
  "representations": {
    "entries": [
      {
        "content": {
          "url_template": "https://dl.boxcloud.com/api/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/pdf/content/{+asset_path}"
        },
        "info": {
          "url": "https://api.box.com/2.0/internal_files/123/versions/345/representations/pdf"
        },
        "properties": {},
        "representation": "pdf",
        "status": {
          "state": "success"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  "type": "file"
}
```

<Note>
  The `url_template` in this response is an **opaque** URL. This URL format
  might change over time and no assumptions should be made about its format
  except for the presence of the `{+asset_path}` variable.

# Get Text Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/text



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A text representation provides a way to extract plain text
from a document.

Text is generated for all document file types including plain text and
code files supported by Box. This does not include image files as these
do not have a text layer.

Text representations are generated upon upload of the file, similarly to PDFs
and thumbnails. They are not generated for files larger than 500
megabytes.

## The process

To get a text representation follow the following steps

* <Link href="/guides/representations/list-all-representations">List all representations</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">Request a text representation</Link> by passing the `x-rep-hints`-header with the value `[extracted_text]`.
* <Link href="/guides/representations/download-a-representation">Download the text</Link> by calling the `url_template`, replacing the `{+asset_path}` with an empty string.

# Get Basic Thumbnail
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/thumbnail



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A thumbnail is a small image, either as `.png` or as `.jpg` that can be used in
an application as a representation of the file, for example as a placeholder for
a link that downloads or previews the file.

<Info>
  The preferred way to get a thumbnail for a file is using the
  <Link href="/guides/representations/thumbnail-representation">representations API</Link>.
</Info>

## Requesting

To request a file thumbnail use the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id-thumbnail-id">`GET
/files/:id/thumbnail.:extension`</Link>
endpoint.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/thumbnail.png" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.files.getFileThumbnailById(
    thumbnailFile.id,
    'png' as GetFileThumbnailByIdExtension,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.files.get_file_thumbnail_by_id(
      thumbnail_file.id, GetFileThumbnailByIdExtension.PNG
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Files.GetFileThumbnailByIdAsync(fileId: thumbnailFile.Id, extension: GetFileThumbnailByIdExtension.Png);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.files.getFileThumbnailById(fileId: thumbnailFile.id, extension_: GetFileThumbnailByIdExtension.png, downloadDestinationUrl: destinationPath)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getFiles().getFileThumbnailById(thumbnailFile.getId(), GetFileThumbnailByIdExtension.PNG)
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  file_id = '11111'

  thumbnail = client.file(file_id).get_thumbnail_representation('92x92', extension='jpg')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  Stream thumbnailContents = await client.FilesManager.GetThumbnailAsync("11111", maxWidth: 160, maxHeight: 160);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When a thumbnail was successfully created, this will return the thumbnail
in the body of the response as binary data.

## Asynchronous thumbnail creation

Sometimes the thumbnail can not be created directly. Instead, the API will
return a `HTTP 202` with a `location` response header. The location
is for a temporary image that can be used while the thumbnail is being
generated.

A `retry-after` response header is also provided to present you with
an estimated amount of seconds before retrying this endpoint.

## Supported file sizes

The following formats and sizes of thumbnails are available.

| File Type | Dimensions                                                         |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| JPG       | `32x32`, `94x94`, `160x160`, `320x320`, `1024x1024`, `2048x2048`\* |
| PNG       | `1024x1024`\*, `2048x2048`\*                                       |

Some restrictions apply to the sizes marked as `*`.

## File size restrictions

### Original file size

Thumbnails are not scaled up. If the original file size of the file uploaded to
Box is smaller than the representation dimensions, the resulting thumbnail is
capped at the size of the original file.

## Supported file types

At this time the following file types are supported.

| File Type | File Extensions                                                                                                                                                 |

# Get Thumbnail Representation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/representations/thumbnail-representation



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A thumbnail is a small image, either as `.png` or as `.jpg` that can be used in
an application as a representation of the file, for example as a placeholder for
a link that downloads or previews the file.

All thumbnail representations except `1024x1024` and `2048x2048` PNGs are
generated upon uploading the source file to Box.

<Warning>
  An deprecated way to get a thumbnail for a file is using the
  <Link href="/guides/representations/thumbnail">thumbnail API</Link>.
</Warning>

## The process

To get a thumbnail representation follow the following steps

* <Link href="/guides/representations/list-all-representations">List all representations</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/representations/request-a-representation">Request a thumbnail</Link> by passing the `x-rep-hints`-header for the desired thumbnail format and size, for example `[jpg?dimensions=32x32]`.
* <Link href="/guides/representations/download-a-representation">Download the thumbnail</Link> by calling the `url_template`, replacing the `{+asset_path}` with an empty string.

<Warning>
  Sometimes the thumbnail can not be created directly. Instead,
  the API will return a `HTTP 202` with a `location` response header.
  The location is for a temporary image that can be used while the thumbnail
  is being generated.
</Warning>

A retry-after response header is also provided to present you with an
estimated amount of seconds before retrying this endpoint.

## Examples

The following a some example `x-rep-hints`-header values

| `x-rep-hints: [jpg?dimensions=32x32]` |
| ------------------------------------- |
| Returns a `32x32` JPEG thumbnail      |

| `x-rep-hints: [jpg?dimensions=32x32][jpg?dimensions=1024x1024]` |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Returns `32x32` and `1024x1024` JPEG thumbnails                 |

| `x-rep-hints: [jpg?dimensions=32x32][png?dimensions=2048x2048]` |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Returns a `32x32` JPEG and a `2048x2048` PNG thumbnail          |

| `x-rep-hints: [jpg?dimensions=2048x2048,png?dimensions=2048x2048]`                                                                                                     |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Returns a `2048x2048` JPEG or a `2048x2048` PNG thumbnail, returning the first representation that is available. If neither is available it returns no representations |

## Supported file sizes

The following formats and sizes of thumbnails are available.

| File Type | Dimensions                                                         |

Some restrictions apply to the sizes marked as `*`.

## File size restrictions

### JPEG `2048x2048`

The JPEG `2048x2048` size is only available when the
original file is a JPEG. We recommend either requesting a PNG or both a PNG
and a JPEG for this dimension.

### Video files

JPEG `2048x2048`, PNG `2048x20148` and PNG `1024x1024` representations are not
available for video files.

### Original file size

# Create or Update Shared Link
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/shared-links/create-or-update



Shared links may be created or directly for file, folder, or web link
resources to generate a read-only URL to permit users with the appropriate
access level to view the content.

<Note>
  You may only have one active shared link for a file, folder, or web link at
  any time.
</Note>

At minimum the information needed to create a shared link will be:

* The type of resource, either a file, folder, or web link.
* The ID of that resource.

Optionally when creating a shared link the following may be specified:

* The access level, which may be one of:
  * open: A public shared link. Anyone with the link may access the link.
  * company: Anyone within your enterprise may access the link.
  * collaborators: Anyone collaborated on the content may access the link.
* An expiration time when the shared link will automatically disable.
* A password required to access the resource.

<Note>
  If an access level is not specified when creating a shared link it will use
  the default access level specified by the enterprise admin.
</Note>

## Create or Update Shared Link for File

To create a shared link on a file, specify the ID of the file with any optional
shared link parameters.

## Create or Update Shared Link for Folder

To create a shared link on a folder, specify the ID of the folder with any
optional shared link parameters.

# Find Item from Shared Link
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/shared-links/find-for-item



The <Link href="/reference/get-shared-items">find item for shared link</Link> API is designed to
accept a shared link as an input using a `BoxApi` header and return the file or
folder object that the shared link is set for.

To get the file or folder object associated with a shared link, supply
the full shared link URL in the request.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "boxapi: shared_link=https://app.box.com/s/gjasdasjhasd&shared_link_password=letmein"

        'shared_link=',
        fileFromApi.sharedLink!.url,
        '&shared_link_password=Secret123@',
      ) as string,
    } satisfies FindFileForSharedLinkHeadersInput,
  );

      null,
      {fields: 'type,id,parent,extension,shared_link'},
      callback
  );
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Please note that when the shared link is for a folder, the response of this
  API does not include the list of nested items within that folder.

  To further traverse the items in the folder, use the same `BoxApi` header to
  <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id">get a nested folder's information</Link>, <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id-items">list the items in
  those folders</Link>, <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">get a nested file's

# Shared Links
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/shared-links/index



Shared links are URLs that are generated for files, folders, web links stored
in Box, which provide direct, read-only access to the resource.

Shared links which are set to an open access level allow anyone with the URL to
access the item, while shared links with company or collaborators access levels
may only be accessed by appropriate authenticated Box users. See
[here][community_create_shared_link] for all of the options and admin settings
related to shared links.

Users can access shared items by entering the shared link URL in a browser.
Applications can also access shared items using the
<Link href="/reference/get-shared-items">Shared Item API</Link>.

# Shared Link Permissions
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/shared-links/permissions



The shared link resource has three permissions that can be updated using the
`permissions` field: `can_preview`, `can_download`, `can_edit`.

<Warning>
  The `can_edit` option can only be `true` for files. Also, if the admin has
  restricted shared links from having edit access in the admin console, you
  will not be able to set `can_edit` to `true`.
</Warning>

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -X PUT 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/123456789?fields=shared_link' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

A shared link may be removed from a resource by calling the
<Link href="/reference/put-files-id">update file</Link> or
<Link href="/reference/put-folders-id">update folder</Link> or
<Link href="/reference/put-web-links-id">update weblink</Link> endpoint and setting the
`shared_link` value to `null`.

<Warning>
  If you delete the shared link and create a new one, the new shared link will
  have a different URL and users with the old URL will not be able to access
  the resource.
</Warning>

## Remove Shared Link on File

To remove a shared link on a file, specify the ID of file to set the
`shared_link` field to `null`.

## Resolution states

Box currently supports two types of tasks defined by the `action` value:
`review` tasks and `complete` tasks.

The type of task determines the possible resolution states a task can be in and
the interface shown to a user in the web and mobile apps.

| Task action | Possible resolution states           |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `review`    | `incomplete`, `approved`, `rejected` |
| `complete`  | `incomplete`, `complete`             |

A `review` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked as
`incomplete`, `approved`, or `rejected`. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an pair of buttons to approve or reject the task.

A `complete` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked
`incomplete` or `completed`. Once a this task is marked completed, no
further changes can be made to the task's state. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an button to mark the task as completed.

# Assigning tasks
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tasks/assignments/index



When a task is delegated to a user in Box it creates a task assignment. A task
assignment is a request for that user to complete the task.

The way a task is resolved depends on the `action` type of a task and the
`resolution_state` used to define how a task is resolved.

## Task actions

Box currently supports two types of tasks defined by the `action` value:
`review` tasks and `complete` tasks.

The type of task determines the possible resolution states a task can be in and
the interface shown to a user in the web and mobile apps.

| Task action | Possible resolution states           |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `review`    | `incomplete`, `approved`, `rejected` |
| `complete`  | `incomplete`, `complete`             |

A `review` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked as
`incomplete`, `approved`, or `rejected`. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an pair of buttons to approve or reject the task.

A `complete` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked
`incomplete` or `completed`. Once a this task is marked completed, no
further changes can be made to the task's state. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an button to mark the task as completed.

## Completion rules

A task on a file can be assigned to more than one collaborator on the file, and
a task has a `completion_rule` that can be used to define if all users who've
been assigned the task (`all_assignees`) or only one assignee (`any_assignee`)
need to complete the task.

# Tasks overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tasks/index



Tasks allow users to request collaborators on a file to review a file or
complete a piece of work. Tasks can be used by developers to create file-centric
workflows. Learn more about tasks from the [**Adding Comments and
Tasks**][community] article on our support site.

## Task actions

Box currently supports two types of tasks defined by the `action` value:
`review` tasks and `complete` tasks.

The type of task determines the possible resolution states a task can be in and
the interface shown to a user in the web and mobile apps.

| Task action | Possible resolution states           |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `review`    | `incomplete`, `approved`, `rejected` |
| `complete`  | `incomplete`, `complete`             |

A `review` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked as
`incomplete`, `approved`, or `rejected`. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an pair of buttons to approve or reject the task.

A `complete` task starts out in an `incomplete` state and can be marked
`incomplete` or `completed`. Once a this task is marked completed, no
further changes can be made to the task's state. In the user interface a user is
provided with a text box and an button to mark the task as completed.

## Completion rules

A task on a file can be assigned to more than one collaborator on the file, and
a task has a `completion_rule` that can be used to define if all users who've
been assigned the task (`all_assignees`) or only one assignee (`any_assignee`)
need to complete the task.

# Make changes to an existing task
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tasks/update



To update a task in Box you will need to call the
<Link href="/reference/put-tasks-id">`PUT /tasks/:task_id`</Link> API with the ID of the task. This API
can be used to change the `action` type of the task, add a `message`, or change
the due date.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X PUT "https://api.box.com/2.0/tasks/12345" \

       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "action": "review"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.tasks.updateTaskById(task.id!, {
    requestBody: {
      message: 'updated message',
    } satisfies UpdateTaskByIdRequestBody,
  } satisfies UpdateTaskByIdOptionalsInput);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.tasks.update_task_by_id(task.id, message="updated message")
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Tasks.UpdateTaskByIdAsync(taskId: NullableUtils.Unwrap(task.Id), requestBody: new UpdateTaskByIdRequestBody() { Message = "updated message" });
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.tasks.updateTaskById(taskId: task.id!, requestBody: UpdateTaskByIdRequestBody(message: "updated message"))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getTasks().updateTaskById(task.getId(), new UpdateTaskByIdRequestBody.Builder().message("updated message").build())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxTask task = new BoxTask(api, "id");
  BoxTask.Info info = task.new Info();

  print(f'New task message is {updated_task.message} and the new due time is {updated_task.due_at}')

# Trash
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/trash/index



Before items are deleted they might end up in a user's trash. The trash can be
managed by a user through any of the Box apps, and by an application via the
API.

## Two-stage Deletion Process

Box uses a two-stage process to remove or **trash** [files], [folders], and
[web links] before permanently deleting them.

By default, items can be restored after they are **trashed** within a 30 day
time frame before they are **purged**. The purge window can be modified by
an enterprise administrator.

More details can be found in the Box community article on [Managing Trash]

[folders]: /reference/delete-folders-id

# Permanently Delete File

Once a file has been moved to the trash, it will stay in the trash for 30
days by default before being purged. Administrators of Business or
Enterprise accounts can alter the purge window. If you wish to permanently
delete the file from the trash before the purge window expires, make a `DELETE`
request to `/files/:file_id/trash` using the trashed file's `ID`.

# Restore Web Link
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/trash/restore-web-link



To restore a web link that has been moved to the trash, but has not yet been
purged, make a `POST` request to the `/web_links/:web_link_id` endpoint. This
will place the web link in the original parent folder if it is still
available, you optionally can specify a `parent` folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/web_links/12345" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.trashedWebLinks.restoreWeblinkFromTrash(weblink.id);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.trashed_web_links.restore_weblink_from_trash(weblink.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.TrashedWebLinks.RestoreWeblinkFromTrashAsync(webLinkId: weblink.Id);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}

# Preflight Check
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/check



The Pre-flight check API allows an application to verify that a file will be
accepted by Box before it uploads any bytes. It can both be used for new files,
as well as uploading new versions of existing files.

## Checklist

Preflight checks perform all the same checks as if the file was
actually uploaded including:

* The permission of the application and the user to upload to the folder
* Any file name collisions
* Any file size caps and limits
* Any folder and file name restrictions
* Any folder and account storage quotas

## Check for new file

To perform a check for a new file, call the
<Link href="/reference/options-files-content">`OPTIONS /files/content`</Link> API with the same
parameters (except for the binary content) as if uploading an actual file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X OPTIONS "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/content" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{"name":"Contract.pdf", "parent":{"id":"11446498"}}'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.uploads.preflightFileUploadCheck({
    name: newFileName,
    size: 1024 * 1024,
    parent: { id: '0' } satisfies PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBodyParentField,
  } satisfies PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.uploads.preflight_file_upload_check(
      name=new_file_name, size=1024 * 1024, parent=PreflightFileUploadCheckParent(id="0")
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Uploads.PreflightFileUploadCheckAsync(requestBody: new PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBody() { Name = newFileName, Size = 1024 * 1024, Parent = new PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBodyParentField() { Id = "0" } });
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUploads().preflightFileUploadCheck(new PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBody.Builder().name(newFileName).size(1024 * 1024).parent(new PreflightFileUploadCheckRequestBodyParentField.Builder().id("0").build()).build())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  String fileName = "My Doc.pdf";
  BoxFolder rootFolder = BoxFolder.getRootFolder(api);
  try {
      folder.canUpload(fileName, 98734576);

      // If the file upload would not have succeeded, it will not be attempted
      folder.uploadFile(fileContents, fileName);
  } catch (BoxAPIException ex) (

  )
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Verify that uploading a 200MB file named "Preso.ppt" to folder 12345 would succeed
  client.files.preflightUploadFile(
  		'12345',
  		{
  			name: 'Preso.ppt',
  			size: 200000000
  		},
  		null,
  		callback
  	);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Check for new file version

To perform a check for a new version of a file, call the
<Link href="/reference/options-files-content">`OPTIONS /files/:id/content`</Link> API with the same
parameters (except for the binary content) as if uploading an actual file.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X OPTIONS "https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/content" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{"name":"Contract.pdf", "parent":{"id":"11446498"}}'
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Check if uploading a larger version of this file will succeed
  client.files.preflightUploadNewFileVersion('87646', {size: 300000000}, null, callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Checks & Chunk Uploads

When performing a <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload</Link>, performing a preflight check is not
required as <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/create-session">creating an Upload Session</Link> also performs a
preflight check.

## Response codes

When the API call detects any problems, a HTTP `409 Conflict` status code is
returned with a message to describe the possible conflict. If no problems were
discovered, it returns a HTTP `200 OK` status code and the upload can proceed.

A `200 OK` response does not guarantee that the upload call will actually
succeed. Pre-flight checks have show to reduce failed uploads by over 99%, yet
concurrency issues still come into play when uploading a file.

Highly active folders, common filenames, and accounts near their quota
limits may get a `200 OK` for the preflight check, and then have a real conflict
during the actual upload.

## Response body

In many cases, the preflight check will return valuable data in the API response
when a conflict has been detected. For example, when a name collision has been
detected, the application can use the `SHA-1` that is returned in the error
response to check if the existing file is identical to the one it is trying to
upload.

# Commit Upload Session
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/chunked/commit-session



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The final step in a chunked upload is to commit the session.

To commit a file upload session, call the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-upload-sessions-id-commit">`POST /files/upload_sessions/:id/commit`</Link> with a list of uploaded
parts to commit.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}

       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.chunkedUploads.createFileUploadSessionCommit(

  //Creates the file hash
  byte[] digestBytes = digest.digest();
  //Base64 encoding of the hash
  String digestStr = Base64.encode(digestBytes);

  //Commit the upload session. If there is a failure, abort the commit.
  BoxFile.Info fileInfo = session.commit(digestStr, parts, null, null, null);

  client.files.commitUploadSession(
  	'93D9A837B45F',
  	fileHash.digest('base64'),
  	{description: 'A file I uploaded in chunks!'},
  	callback
  );
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Additionally, any file `attributes` can be passed along with the `parts` to
  further add information to the file. See the <Link href="/reference/post-files-content">`POST /files/content`</Link>
  API for more details.
</Info>

## Response

When successful, the API returns a HTTP `201 Created` status code with a
<Link href="/reference/resources/file">`File`</Link> object.

In some cases, creating the parts might not be ready yet and the API will return
a `202 Accepted` status code instead. In this case the application should check
the `retry-after` header and retry committing after the number of seconds
specified.

# Create Upload Session
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/chunked/create-session



To create an upload session, call the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-upload-sessions">`POST /files/upload_sessions`</Link> API with the desired `file_name`
and `folder_id` to put the file in, as well as the `file_size` of the file to be
uploaded.

To create a session for a new version of an existing file, call the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-id-upload-sessions">`POST /files/:id/upload_sessions`</Link> API instead. In this
case, the `file_name` and `folder_id` are only required when renaming or moving
the file in the process.

## Pre-flight Check

Creating an upload session also performs a <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">preflight check</Link>, making it
unnecessary to do so separately when working with chunked uploads.

## Response

When a session is created successfully the response includes an <Link href="/reference/resources/upload-session">Upload
Session</Link> that provides a session ID, the number of parts, the
part sizes, as well as links to the relevant next API endpoints to use.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD",
  "type": "upload_session",
  "session_expires_at": "2012-12-12T10:53:43-08:00",

  }
}
```

The upload session defines the size of the parts to use when uploading the
individual parts.

## Breakdown

The scripts above use the Box SDKs and the CLI to upload an entire folder. For
the SDK scripts, they start by creating a directory in Box to match the local
folder.

After the new directory is created, it uploads all files within the directory
making sure to use all available Box features to make the uploads successful.

Using the <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">Preflight</Link> API the files are checked for conflicts and
size restrictions before they are uploaded. If a naming conflict is found, the
script instead uploads a new version of that file.

Using the `SHA` hash of the file the scripts add a `content-md5` header on
upload to make sure the file is successfully uploaded to Box without any bytes
lost or tampered with.

Finally, if a file size exceeds 20MB\`, the script uses the <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">Chunked
Upload</Link> feature to make sure uploads are more reliable for larger

# Chunked Uploads
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/chunked/index



The Chunked Upload API provides a way to reliably upload large files to Box by
chunking them into a sequence of parts that can be uploaded individually.

By using this API the application uploads a file in part, allowing it to recover
from a failed request more reliably. It means an application only needs to
retry the upload of a single part instead of the entire file.

An additional benefit of chunked uploads is that parts can be uploaded
in parallel, allowing for a potential performance improvement.

## Overview

Chunked uploads require a sequence of API calls to be made.

1. **<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/create-session">Create an upload session</Link>**: The application creates an upload session for a new file or new version of a file. The session defines the (new) name  of the file, its size, and the parent folder.
2. **<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/upload-part">Upload parts</Link>**: The application uploads the separate parts of the file as chunks.
3. **<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/commit-session">Commit session</Link>**: The application commits the session, at which moment the integrity of the file is checked before it is placed in the location specified when the session was created.

<Info>
  Most of <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/with-sdks">the Box SDKs support chunked uploads</Link> out of the Box, removing
  the complexity from the application code.
</Info>

## Restrictions

The Chunked Upload API is intended for large files with a minimum size of 20MB.
The API does not support uploads of files with a size smaller than this.

This API does not support re-uploading or overwriting of parts in a session.
Once a part has been uploaded, it is immutable.

The lifetime of an upload session is 7 days. During this time, the client can
upload parts at their own pace.

To avoid wasting resources, and avoid potential data corruption, client should
make sure that the underlying file has not been changed on disk since beginning
the upload.


# Upload Part
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/chunked/upload-part



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

When you want to upload a large file,
you can split it into smaller parts and
upload them using the Upload Part API.

## Create Upload Session

First, <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/create-session">create an upload session</Link>. The resulting
object defines the size of each part and the number of parts to upload.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD",
  "type": "upload_session",
  "session_expires_at": "2012-12-12T10:53:43-08:00",
  "part_size": 1024,
  "total_parts": 1000,
  "num_parts_processed": 455,
  "session_endpoints": {
    "upload_part": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD",
    "commit": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD/commit",
    "abort": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD",
    "list_parts": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD/parts",
    "status": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD",
    "log_event": "https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD/log"
  }
}
```

## Split File

Split the file into parts to be uploaded.
If you want to use the command line,
use the `split` command:

```bash theme={null}
split -b <PART_SIZE> <FILE_NAME> <YOUR_PART_NAME>
```

For example:

```bash theme={null}
split -b 8388608 video.mp3 videopart
```

This will result in your file divided into several files.

## Get SHA Digest

To get the value for the `SHA` digest,
use the following openSSL command
to encode the file part:

```bash theme={null}
openssl sha1 -binary <FILE_PART_NAME> | base64
```

For example:

```bash theme={null}
openssl sha1 -binary videoparta | base64
```

The result is a base-64 encoded message used to verify the upload.

## Upload Part

Upload the bytes for the part you want to upload, specifying the byte
range for the part and the `SHA` digest to ensure the content is
uploaded correctly.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X PUT "https://upload.box.com/2.0/files/upload_sessions/F971964745A5CD0C001BBE4E58196BFD" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "digest: sha=fpRyg5eVQletdZqEKaFlqwBXJzM=" \
       -H "content-range: bytes 8388608-16777215/445856194" \
       -H "content-type: application/octet-stream" \
       --data-binary @<FILE_NAME>
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.chunkedUploads.uploadFilePart(
    acc.uploadSessionId,
    generateByteStreamFromBuffer(chunkBuffer),
    {
      digest: digest,
      contentRange: contentRange,
    } satisfies UploadFilePartHeadersInput,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.chunked_uploads.upload_file_part(
      acc.upload_session_id,
      generate_byte_stream_from_buffer(chunk_buffer),
      digest,
      content_range,
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.ChunkedUploads.UploadFilePartAsync(uploadSessionId: acc.UploadSessionId, requestBody: Utils.GenerateByteStreamFromBuffer(buffer: chunkBuffer), headers: new UploadFilePartHeaders(digest: digest, contentRange: contentRange));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.chunkedUploads.uploadFilePart(uploadSessionId: acc.uploadSessionId, requestBody: Utils.generateByteStreamFromBuffer(buffer: chunkBuffer), headers: UploadFilePartHeaders(digest: digest, contentRange: contentRange))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getChunkedUploads().uploadFilePart(acc.getUploadSessionId(), generateByteStreamFromBuffer(chunkBuffer), new UploadFilePartHeaders(digest, contentRange))
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  //Reading a large file
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("My_Large_File.txt");
  //Create the digest input stream to calculate the digest for the whole file.
  DigestInputStream dis = new DigestInputStream(fis, digest);

  List<BoxFileUploadSessionPart> parts = new ArrayList<BoxFileUploadSessionPart>();

  //Get the part size. Each uploaded part should match the part size returned as part of the upload session.
  //The last part of the file can be less than part size if the remaining bytes of the last part is less than
  //the given part size
  long partSize = sessionInfo.getPartSize();
  //Start byte of the part
  long offset = 0;
  //Overall of bytes processed so far
  long processed = 0;
  while (processed < fileSize) {
      long diff = fileSize - processed;
      //The size last part of the file can be less than the part size.
      if (diff < partSize) {
          partSize = diff;
      }

      //Upload a part. It can be uploaded asynchorously
      BoxFileUploadSessionPart part = session.uploadPart(dis, offset, (int)partSize, fileSize);
      parts.add(part);

      //Increase the offset and proceesed bytes to calculate the Content-Range header.
      processed += partSize;
      offset += partSize;
  }
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  upload_session = client.upload_session('11493C07ED3EABB6E59874D3A1EF3581')
  offset = upload_session.part_size * 3
  total_size = 26000000
  part_bytes = b'abcdefgh'
  part = upload_session.upload_part_bytes(part_bytes, offset, total_size)
  print(f'Successfully uploaded part ID {part["part_id"]}')
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Upload the part starting at byte offset 8388608 to upload session '93D9A837B45F' with part ID 'feedbeef'
  client.files.uploadPart('93D9A837B45F', part, 8388608, 2147483648, {part_id: 'feedbeef'}, callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Content Range

Each part’s size must be exactly equal in size to the part size
specified in the upload session that you created.
One exception is the last part of the file, as
this can be smaller. The `Content-Range` parameter
definition follows this pattern:

```yaml theme={null}
-H "Content-Range: bytes <LOWER_BOUND>-<HIGHER_BOUND>/<TOTAL_SIZE>"
```

When providing the value for `Content-Range`, remember that:

* The lower bound of each part's byte range must be a multiple of the part size.
* The higher bound must be a multiple of the part size - 1.

For example, if the part size is `8388608`,
the content range for the first two parts will be:

```yaml theme={null}
-H "Content-Range: bytes 0-8388607/32127641" \ ## first part
-H "Content-Range: bytes 8388608-16777215/32127641" \ ## second part
```

## Response

After each upload, the resulting response includes
the `ID` and `SHA` of the part uploaded.

```json theme={null}
{
  "part_id": "6F2D3486",
  "offset": 16777216,
  "size": 3222784,
  "sha1": "134b65991ed521fcfe4724b7d814ab8ded5185dc"
}
```

<Warning>
  Keep all the JSON responses from all part
  uploads as they are needed to <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/commit-session">commit the session</Link>.
</Warning>

## Range Overlap

If a part upload request fails with any error code
`range_overlaps_existing_part` then the application
made a mistake in cutting up the file into parts
and tried to upload a part into a range that already had
content uploaded for it. The application should assume
that this last part was not persisted to the session.

## Parallel uploads

Although you can upload the parts in parallel, try to upload them in
order as much as is possible. Parts with a lower byte offset should be uploaded
before parts with a higher byte offset.

The recommended approach is to upload 3 to 5 parts in parallel from a queue
of parts, ordered by byte offset. If a part upload fails, retry it
before you upload further parts.

# Chunked Upload with SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/chunked/with-sdks



The Box SDKs make it possible to perform a chunked upload with the built-in
SDK methods.

The SDKs also support uploading new versions of files through similar methods.

# Upload New File
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/direct/file



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To upload a file to Box via direct upload, make an API call to the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-content">`POST /files/content`</Link> API with the content of the file, the desired
file name, and the folder ID.

<Tip>
  To upload files to the Archive folder, you need to first enable the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Global
  Content Manager</Link> (GCM) scope in the Developer Console.

<Info>
  **Preflight check**

  To prevent wasting time and bandwidth uploading a file that is going to be
  rejected it is recommended to perform a <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">pre-flight check</Link> before
  uploading the file.
</Info>

## Request Format

The request body of this API uses a content type of  `multipart/form-data`. This
is used to transmit two parts, namely the file attributes and the file's actual
content.

The first part is called `attributes` and contains a JSON object with
information about the file, including the name of the file and the `id` of the
parent folder.

The following is an example a `test.txt` being uploaded to the root folder of
the user.

```sh theme={null}
POST /api/2.0/files/content HTTP/1.1
Host: upload.box.com
Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]
content-length: 343
content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------9fd09388d840fef1

--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1
content-disposition: form-data; name="attributes"

{"name":"test.txt", "parent":{"id":"0"}}
--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1
content-disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.txt"
content-type: text/plain

Test file text.

--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1--
```

<Warning>
  The `attributes` JSON part of the multi-part body must come before the `file`
  part of the multipart form data. When out of order, the API will return a HTTP
  `400` status code with an error code of `metadata_after_file_contents`.
</Warning>

## Options

To learn more about all the parameters available when uploading files, head over
to the <Link href="/reference/post-files-content">reference documentation for this API call</Link>. These parameters
include a `content-md5` that can be set to ensure a file is not corrupted in
transit, and the ability to explicitly specify the file creation time at a
different time than the upload time.

## Restrictions

Direct uploads are limited to a maximum file size of 50MB. For larger files,
please use the <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload APIs</Link>.

Upload limits are dictated by the type of account of the authenticated user.
More information can be found <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697314-Understand-the-Maximum-File-Size-You-Can-Upload-to-Box">in our product documentation on this topic</Link>.

      })
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  **Preflight check**

  To prevent wasting time and bandwidth uploading a file that is going to be
  rejected it is recommended to perform a <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">pre-flight check</Link> before
  uploading the file.
</Info>

## Request Format

The request body of this API uses a content type of `multipart/form-data`. This
is used to transmit two parts, namely the file attributes and the file's actual
content.

The first part is called `attributes` and contains a JSON object with
information about the file, including the name of the file and the `id` of the
parent folder.

The following is an example a `test.txt` being uploaded to the root folder of
the user.

```sh theme={null}
POST /api/2.0/files/123/content HTTP/1.1
Host: upload.box.com
Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]
content-length: 343
content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------9fd09388d840fef1

--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1
content-disposition: form-data; name="attributes"

{"name":"test.txt", "parent":{"id":"0"}}
--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1
content-disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.txt"
content-type: text/plain

Test file text.

--------------------------9fd09388d840fef1--
```

<Warning>
  The `attributes` JSON part of the multi-part body must come before the `file`
  part of the multipart form data. When out of order, the API will return a HTTP
  `400` status code with an error code of `metadata_after_file_contents`.
</Warning>

## Options

To learn more about all the parameters available when uploading files, head over
to the <Link href="/reference/post-files-id-content">reference documentation for this API call</Link>. These parameters
include a `content-md5` that can be set to ensure a file is not corrupted in
transit, and the ability to explicitly specify the file creation time at a
different time than the upload time.

For file versions an additional <Link href="/guides/api-calls/ensure-consistency">`if-match` header</Link> can be passed
along to prevent overwriting a file that has already been updated since the
application last inspected the content.

## Restrictions

Direct uploads are limited to a maximum file size of 50MB. For larger files,
please use the <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload APIs</Link>.

Upload limits are dictated by the type of account of the authenticated user.
More information can be found <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697314-Understand-the-Maximum-File-Size-You-Can-Upload-to-Box">in our product documentation on this topic</Link>.

# Direct Uploads
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/direct/index



The most straightforward way to upload a file to Box is using a direct upload.
Direct uploads allow an application to upload a file in one request. For file
sizes over 50MB we recommend using the <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload endpoint</Link>.

The maximum file size limit for uploads to Box varies depending on your account
type. For more details, please refer to our [pricing comparison page][pcp].

* Free personal: 250 MB
* Starter: 2 GB
* Business: 5 GB
* Business Plus: 15 GB
* Enterprise: 50 GB
* Digital Workplace Suite: 50 GB
* Digital Workplace Global Suite: 50 GB
* Digital Business Suite: 50 GB
* Digital Business Global Suite: 50 GB
* Enterprise Plus: 150 GB
* Enterprise Advanced: 500 GB

To confirm the file size limit for your account, log into Box. Click on the
circle in the top right corner and select **Account Settings** from the dropdown
menu. On the page that displays, scroll down to the **Account Details**
section. Your **Max File Size** is listed here.

## Upload domain

Uploads to Box happen via a different domain (`upload.box.com`) than regular API
calls. This is something to keep in mind when writing your own upload code. All
official Box SDKs will take care of choosing the right domain for each API call.

[pcp]: https://www.box.com/pricing


# Uploads
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/index



The Box API supports two distinct methods of file upload. The <Link href="/guides/uploads/direct">direct file
upload API</Link> supports files up to 50MB in size and sends all the binary
data to the Box API in 1 API request.

The <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload APIs</Link> support files from 20MB in size and allow an
application to upload the file in parts, allowing for more control to catch any
errors and retry parts individually.

<Tip>
  To upload files to the Archive folder, you need to first enable the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Global
  Content Manager</Link> (GCM) scope in the Developer Console.
</Tip>

## Upload limits

Upload limits are dictated by the type of account of the authenticated user.
More information can be found <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697314-Understand-the-Maximum-File-Size-You-Can-Upload-to-Box">in our product documentation on this topic</Link>.

## Preflight check

The Pre-flight check API allows an application to verify that a file will be
accepted by Box before it uploads any bytes. It can both be used for new files,
as well as uploading new versions of existing files.

# Recursively upload a folder with Python
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/tutorials/recursive-folder-upload-python

Learn how to upload a local folder tree to Box with a recursive Python script that creates folders, uploads files, and handles naming conflicts.

This tutorial shows you how to build a recursive upload script that
combines <Link href="/guides/uploads/direct">direct uploads</Link>,
<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked uploads</Link>, and
<Link href="/guides/uploads/check">preflight checks</Link> to handle
duplicate files, duplicate folders, and large files automatically.

<SignupCTA>
  A free Box developer account gives you a Developer Console, API access, and a test environment so you can upload entire folder trees to Box and build content workflows.
</SignupCTA>

<Info>
  The code samples in this tutorial use the
  <Link href="https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk">Box Python SDK (v10)</Link>.
</Info>

## Prerequisites

* A Box application with the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#read-and-write-all-files-and-folders">Read and write all files and folders stored in Box</Link> scope (`root_readwrite`) enabled
* Python 3.8 or later installed on your computer
* The Box Python SDK installed (`pip install "boxsdk~=10"`)
* An authenticated <Link href="/guides/authentication">Box client</Link>
* Completion of the <Link href="/guides/uploads/tutorials/upload-methods-python">Upload methods with Python</Link> tutorial, which defines the `file_upload` and `file_upload_chunked` helper functions this tutorial reuses to avoid duplicating upload logic

## Handle duplicate folders

Before you access a subfolder, check whether it already exists in Box.
If a folder with the same name exists, use the existing folder instead of
creating a new one:

```python Python v10 theme={null}
from box_sdk_gen import BoxAPIError, CreateFolderParent


def create_or_get_box_folder(client, folder_name, parent_folder_id):
    try:
        folder = client.folders.create_folder(
            folder_name, CreateFolderParent(id=parent_folder_id)
        )
    except BoxAPIError as err:
        if err.response_info.body.get("code") == "item_name_in_use":
            folder_id = err.response_info.context_info["conflicts"][0][
                "id"
            ]
            folder = client.folders.get_folder_by_id(folder_id)
        else:
            raise
    return folder
```

## Recursively upload a folder

Combine the helper functions into a single recursive function that walks the
local directory tree. For each item, the function:

1. Creates the folder in Box, or retrieves the existing folder, and then recurses into it.
2. Checks the file size to choose a direct or chunked upload. Files that are **20 MB or larger** use chunked upload; smaller files use direct upload.
3. Uploads a new version when a file with the same name already exists, by using the helpers from the upload methods tutorial.

```python Python v10 theme={null}
import pathlib

MIN_CHUNKED_SIZE = 20 * 1024 * 1024  # 20 MB


def folder_upload(
    client,
    box_base_folder_id,
    local_folder_path,
    min_chunked_size=MIN_CHUNKED_SIZE,
):
    local_folder = pathlib.Path(local_folder_path)
    for item in local_folder.iterdir():
        if item.is_dir():
            new_box_folder = create_box_folder(
                client, item.name, box_base_folder_id
            )
            folder_upload(client, new_box_folder.id, item, min_chunked_size)
        else:
            if item.stat().st_size < min_chunked_size:
                file_upload(client, str(item), box_base_folder_id)
            else:
                file_upload_chunked(client, str(item), box_base_folder_id)
```

The `min_chunked_size` parameter defaults to 20 MB, which is the minimum size for
<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked uploads</Link>. You can
increase this threshold, but you cannot decrease it.

## Complete example

The following script authenticates a Box client, creates a destination
folder (or reuses an existing one), and recursively uploads the contents of a
local directory. It reuses the `create_box_folder` helper to get or create the
destination folder in the root folder (`"0"`):

```python Python v10 theme={null}
def main():
    client = get_authenticated_client()
    demo_folder = create_box_folder(client, "my-upload-folder", "0")
    folder_upload(client, demo_folder.id, "/path/to/local/folder")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

# Upload methods with Python
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/uploads/tutorials/upload-methods-python

Learn how to upload files to Box with the Python SDK by using direct upload and chunked upload, including the `upload_big_file` convenience method, manual upload sessions, preflight checks, and conflict handling.

This tutorial covers two ways to upload content to Box by using the Python SDK: <Link href="/guides/uploads/direct">direct upload</Link> and <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload</Link>. For chunked upload, you can use the SDK convenience method or manage the upload session yourself. Learn how each method works and how to combine <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">preflight checks</Link> with conflict handling to upload new files or update existing ones.

| Method                                                     | Best for                      | Minimum size | Maximum size |
| ---------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------ | ------------ |
| <Link href="/guides/uploads/direct">Direct upload</Link>   | Small files, simple workflows | No minimum   | 50 MB        |
| <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">Chunked upload</Link> | Large files                   | 20 MB        | No limit     |

## Prerequisites

* A Box application with the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#read-and-write-all-files-and-folders">Read and write all files and folders stored in Box</Link> scope (`root_readwrite`) enabled
* Python 3.8 or later installed on your computer
* The Box Python SDK installed (`pip install "boxsdk~=10"`)
* An authenticated <Link href="/guides/authentication">Box client</Link>

## Direct upload

To upload a file, call the `upload_file` method. For more information about the direct upload API, see
<Link href="/guides/uploads/direct/file">Upload New File</Link>.

Run a <Link href="/guides/uploads/check">preflight check</Link> first. If
a file with the same name already exists, the error response includes the
conflicting file ID. If you don't want to override the content of the file with
that name, change the name and upload it as a new file. The sample below assumes
you want to override the file content, so it uses that ID to upload a
<Link href="/guides/uploads/direct/file-version">new version</Link>:

```python Python v10 theme={null}
import os

from box_sdk_gen import (
    BoxAPIError,
    PreflightFileUploadCheckParent,
    UploadFileAttributes,
    UploadFileAttributesParentField,
    UploadFileVersionAttributes,
)


def upload_file_or_file_version(client, file_path, folder_id):
    file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
    file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)

    with open(file_path, "rb") as file_stream:
        try:
            client.uploads.preflight_file_upload_check(
                name=file_name,
                size=file_size,
                parent=PreflightFileUploadCheckParent(id=folder_id),
            )
            files = client.uploads.upload_file(
                UploadFileAttributes(
                    name=file_name,
                    parent=UploadFileAttributesParentField(id=folder_id),
                ),
                file_stream,
            )
            return files.entries[0]
        except BoxAPIError as err:
            if err.response_info.code != "item_name_in_use":
                raise
            file_id = err.response_info.context_info["conflicts"]["id"]
            file_stream.seek(0)
            files = client.uploads.upload_file_version(
                file_id,
                UploadFileVersionAttributes(name=file_name),
                file_stream,
            )
            return files.entries[0]
```

Calling `upload_file` on a folder creates a new file. Calling
`upload_file_version` on an existing file uploads a new version.

## Chunked upload

Use <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked">chunked upload</Link> for files that are
**20 MB or larger**. Every chunked upload works through an
<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/create-session">upload session</Link>: you
create a session,
<Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/upload-part">upload the file in parts</Link>,
and <Link href="/guides/uploads/chunked/commit-session">commit the session</Link>
to finalize the file. You have two options:

* **Convenience method**: `upload_big_file` runs all three steps for you.
* **Manual upload session**: create the session, upload each part, and commit it
  yourself when you need full control.

### Convenience method

The `upload_big_file` method uploads the file in parts automatically. Run a
preflight check first so that you can handle name conflicts before you start the
upload. When a file with the same name already exists, `upload_chunked_file`
creates a session for the existing file and uploads a new version with the
`upload_file_via_session` helper shown in the next section.

```python Python v10 theme={null}
import os

from box_sdk_gen import BoxAPIError, PreflightFileUploadCheckParent


def upload_chunked_file(client, file_path, folder_id):
    file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
    file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)
    parent = PreflightFileUploadCheckParent(id=folder_id)

    try:
        client.uploads.preflight_file_upload_check(
            name=file_name,
            size=file_size,
            parent=parent,
        )
        with open(file_path, "rb") as file_stream:
            return client.chunked_uploads.upload_big_file(
                file_stream, file_name, file_size, folder_id
            )

    except BoxAPIError as err:
        if err.response_info.code != "item_name_in_use":
            raise

        file_id = err.response_info.context_info["conflicts"]["id"]
        upload_session = (
            client.chunked_uploads.create_file_upload_session_for_existing_file(
                file_id, file_size, file_name
            )
        )
        return upload_file_via_session(
            client, file_path, file_size, upload_session
        )
```

### Manual upload session

For full control over the upload, manage the session yourself. The
`upload_file_via_session` helper uploads every part and commits the session for
a session you pass in:

```python Python v10 theme={null}
import base64
import hashlib
from io import BytesIO

from box_sdk_gen import UploadPart


def upload_file_via_session(client, file_path, file_size, upload_session):
    file_sha1 = hashlib.sha1()
    parts: list[UploadPart] = []

    upload_part_url = upload_session.session_endpoints.upload_part
    commit_url = upload_session.session_endpoints.commit

    with open(file_path, "rb") as file_stream:
        part_size = upload_session.part_size
        for part_num in range(upload_session.total_parts):
            offset = part_num * part_size
            remaining = file_size - offset
            chunk_size = min(part_size, remaining)
            chunk = file_stream.read(chunk_size)

            part_sha1 = hashlib.sha1(chunk).digest()
            digest = f"sha={base64.b64encode(part_sha1).decode()}"
            content_range = (
                f"bytes {offset}-{offset + len(chunk) - 1}/{file_size}"
            )

            uploaded_part = client.chunked_uploads.upload_file_part_by_url(
                upload_part_url,
                BytesIO(chunk),
                digest,
                content_range,
            )
            parts.append(uploaded_part.part)
            file_sha1.update(chunk)

    content_sha1 = file_sha1.digest()
    digest = f"sha={base64.b64encode(content_sha1).decode()}"
    files = client.chunked_uploads.create_file_upload_session_commit_by_url(
        commit_url, parts, digest
    )
    return files.entries[0]
```

Create the session before calling the helper. Run a preflight check first, then
use `create_file_upload_session` for a new file. When a file with the same name
already exists, `upload_file_manual` falls back to
`create_file_upload_session_for_existing_file` to upload a new version:

```python Python v10 theme={null}
import os

from box_sdk_gen import BoxAPIError, PreflightFileUploadCheckParent


def upload_file_manual(client, file_path, folder_id):
    file_size = os.path.getsize(file_path)
    file_name = os.path.basename(file_path)
    parent = PreflightFileUploadCheckParent(id=folder_id)

    try:
        client.uploads.preflight_file_upload_check(
            name=file_name,
            size=file_size,
            parent=parent,
        )
        upload_session = client.chunked_uploads.create_file_upload_session(
            folder_id, file_size, file_name
        )
    except BoxAPIError as err:
        if err.response_info.code != "item_name_in_use":
            raise

        file_id = err.response_info.context_info["conflicts"]["id"]
        upload_session = (
            client.chunked_uploads.create_file_upload_session_for_existing_file(
                file_id, file_size, file_name
            )
        )

    return upload_file_via_session(
        client, file_path, file_size, upload_session
    )
```

# Create Web Link
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/web-links/create



To create a web link in Box, you will need to provide our API with a folder
`id` and the `url` you want the web link to be linked to. The `url` must start
with `http://` or `https://`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/web_links" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "name": "Cloud Content Management",
         "url": "https://box.com",
         "parent": {
           "id": "0"
         }
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.webLinks.createWebLink({

# Web Links
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/web-links/index



Web links are objects that point to URLs. These objects are also known as
bookmarks within the Box web application.

Web Links are treated similarly to file objects, which means that they have the
same support for creating shared links, allow for copying, permanent deletion,
and restoration.


# Convert Markdown to Box Note
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-notes/convert-markdown

Detailed guide for converting Markdown content to a Box Note using the POST /notes/convert endpoint.

The `POST /2.0/notes/convert` endpoint converts Markdown content to a
Box Note (`.boxnote`) and uploads it to a specified folder in one
atomic operation. The note is either fully created or an error is
returned.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

* A valid access token with file upload permissions for the target
  folder.
* The `box-version: 2026.0` header included in your request.
* The folder ID of the target parent folder in Box.

For setup instructions, see the
<Link href="/guides/box-notes/get-started">getting started</Link>
guide.

## Request

```
POST https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert
```

### Headers

| Header          | Required | Value                   |
| --------------- | -------- | ----------------------- |

| `Content-Type`  | Yes      | `application/json`      |
| `box-version`   | Yes      | `2026.0`                |

### Request body

All fields are required.

| Field            | Type     | Constraints          | Description                                      |
| ---------------- | -------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `content`        | `string` | Max 1 MB             | The Markdown content to convert into a Box Note. |
| `content_format` | `string` | Must be `"markdown"` | The format of the input content.                 |
| `parent`         | `object` | Must contain `id`    | The destination folder in Box.                   |
| `parent.id`      | `string` | Valid Box folder ID  | The ID of the target parent folder.              |
| `name`           | `string` | —                    | The filename for the resulting `.boxnote` file.  |

### Example request

```sh theme={null}
curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert' \
     -H 'box-version: 2026.0' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
       "content": "# Meeting Notes\n\nAction items:\n- Follow up with team\n- Review proposal\n\n## Decisions\n\nWe agreed to proceed with **Option A**.",
       "content_format": "markdown",
       "parent": {
         "id": "123456789"
       },
       "name": "Q2 Meeting Notes"
     }'
```

## Response

### Success (`201 Created`)

A successful response contains the file type and the Box file ID of
the newly created `.boxnote` file.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "file",
  "id": "1234567890"
}
```

The response is intentionally minimal. To retrieve full file metadata
(owner, timestamps, size, and more), make a follow-up call to the
<Link href="/reference/get-files-id">Get file</Link> endpoint:

```sh theme={null}
curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/1234567890' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'
```

### Errors

The API uses standard HTTP error codes. All errors follow the Box
`HttpError` model.

| HTTP status                | Description              | Common cause                                                                                                   |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `400 Bad Request`          | Malformed request body   | Missing required fields, invalid `content_format`, or malformed JSON.                                          |
| `403 Forbidden`            | Insufficient permissions | The authenticated user does not have upload permissions for the target folder.                                 |
| `404 Not Found`            | Folder not found         | The `parent.id` does not correspond to an existing folder.                                                     |
| `409 Conflict`             | Name collision           | A file with the same name already exists in the target folder.                                                 |
| `422 Unprocessable Entity` | Validation failure       | The request is syntactically valid but cannot be processed. For example, the user's storage quota is exceeded. |
| `5xx Server Error`         | Internal error           | An error occurred during conversion or upload. Retry after a brief delay.                                      |

<Note>
  Conversion warnings, such as unsupported Markdown elements that are
  dropped or simplified during conversion, are logged server-side and
  are not returned in the API response.
</Note>

## Markdown support

The API converts standard Markdown syntax into Box Notes format.
Supported elements include:

* **Headings** (`#`, `##`, `###`, etc.)
* **Bold** (`**text**`) and *italic* (`*text*`)
* **Unordered lists** (`-` or `*`)
* **Ordered lists** (`1.`, `2.`, etc.)
* **Links** (`[text](url)`)
* **Code blocks** (fenced with triple backticks)
* **Inline code** (backticks)
* **Blockquotes** (`>`)
* **Horizontal rules** (`---`)

<Tip>
  If your Markdown contains elements that are not supported in Box
  Notes format, those elements may be simplified or omitted during
  conversion. The conversion still succeeds. Warnings are logged
  server-side only.
</Tip>

  } else {
    const error = await response.json();
    console.error(`Error ${response.status}:`, error);
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Handling errors

### Name conflicts (409)

If a file with the same name already exists in the target folder,
the API returns a `409 Conflict` error. To resolve this:

* Choose a different `name` for the note.
* Specify a different `parent.id` (target folder).
* Delete or rename the existing file before retrying.

### Storage quota exceeded (422)

If the user's storage quota has been reached, the API returns a
`422 Unprocessable Entity` error. Free up space in the Box account
or contact an admin to increase the storage allocation.

### Permission errors (403)

Verify that the authenticated user has **Editor** or **Co-Owner**
access to the target folder. **Viewer** and **Previewer** roles do
not have upload permissions.

## Best practices

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Keep content within size limits">
    The maximum `content` size is 1 MB. For larger documents,
    consider splitting content across multiple notes or trimming
    unnecessary sections before conversion.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use meaningful names">
    Choose descriptive note names that make the content easy to find
    in Box. Avoid generic names like "Note 1" or "Untitled".
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Handle the conversion time">
    Conversion can take up to 30 seconds for large or complex
    Markdown content. Configure your HTTP client timeout accordingly
    and implement retry logic for transient `5xx` errors.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Retrieve metadata after creation">
    The create response only includes `type` and `id`. If you need
    additional file metadata (timestamps, size, owner), make a
    follow-up `GET /2.0/files/{file_id}` call.
  </Accordion>

# Get started with Box Notes API
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-notes/get-started

Set up authentication and create your first Box Note from Markdown content.

This guide walks you through creating your first Box Note from
Markdown using the Box Notes API. By the end, you have a
`.boxnote` file in your Box account created from a single API call.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* A Box account with file upload permissions.
* A <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/create">platform application</Link> configured in the Box Developer Console.
* A valid access token for authentication (OAuth 2.0 or JWT).
* A target folder ID in Box where you want to create the note.

<Note>
  The Box Notes API requires API version `2026.0`. All requests must
  include the `box-version: 2026.0` header.
</Note>

## Step 1: Generate an access token

You need an access token to authenticate your API calls.

To generate a developer token for testing:

1. Go to **Developer Console** > **My Platform Apps**.
2. Click the **Options menu** button (**…**) next to your app.
3. Select **Generate Developer Token**. The token is automatically
   copied to your clipboard.

<Warning>
  Developer tokens expire after one hour. For production use, implement
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> or
  <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT authentication</Link>.
</Warning>

## Step 2: Identify your target folder

You need the folder ID where the new note has been created. To find a
folder ID:

* Open the folder in the Box web app. The folder ID is the number at
  the end of the URL: `https://app.box.com/folder/123456789`.
* Alternatively, use the <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id">Get
  folder</Link> API endpoint.

<Tip>
  Use `0` as the folder ID to create the note in the root folder
  (All Files).
</Tip>

## Step 3: Create your first Box Note

Send a `POST` request to the `/2.0/notes/convert` endpoint with your
Markdown content. The API converts the Markdown to a Box Note and
uploads it to the specified folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert' \
       -H 'box-version: 2026.0' \
       -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       -d '{
         "content": "# Welcome\n\nThis is my first **Box Note** created using the API.",
         "content_format": "markdown",
         "parent": {
           "id": "123456789"
         },
         "name": "My First Note"
       }'
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  url = "https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert"
  headers = {
      "box-version": "2026.0",
      "Authorization": "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
  }
  payload = {
      "content": "# Welcome\n\nThis is my first **Box Note** created using the API.",
      "content_format": "markdown",
      "parent": {"id": "123456789"},
      "name": "My First Note",
  }

  response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)
  print(response.status_code, response.json())
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const response = await fetch("https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "box-version": "2026.0",
      Authorization: "Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>",
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      content:
        "# Welcome\n\nThis is my first **Box Note** created using the API.",
      content_format: "markdown",
      parent: { id: "123456789" },
      name: "My First Note",
    }),
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

A successful request returns `201 Created` with the new file's
information:

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "file",
  "id": "1234567890"
}
```

## Step 4: Verify the note was created

Use the returned `id` to retrieve the full file metadata from the
Box Files API:

```sh theme={null}
curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/1234567890' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'
```

You can also open the Box web app and navigate to the target folder
to confirm the `.boxnote` file appears.

# Box Notes API
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-notes/index

Programmatically create Box Notes from Markdown content using the Box Notes API.

The Box Notes API lets you programmatically convert Markdown content
into native Box Notes (`.boxnote` format) and upload them directly to
the Box filesystem in a single API call. The API handles Markdown
to ProseMirror conversion, preflight validation, and file upload
behind the scenes, so you don't need to construct `.boxnote` files
yourself.

<Note>
  The Box Notes API currently supports creating notes from Markdown
  content only. Reading, updating, listing, and deleting notes are
  managed through the existing
  <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">Box Files API</Link>.
  Additional input formats and operations may be added in the future.
</Note>

## How it works

When you send a request to `POST /2.0/notes/convert`, the API
performs the following steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Validate the request">
    The API validates the request body, checking for required
    fields, content size limits, and a valid `content_format`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run a preflight check">
    A preflight file-upload check verifies the caller's
    permissions, storage quota, and naming conflicts in the
    target folder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Convert the content">
    The Markdown content is converted into a Box Notes ProseMirror
    document in `.boxnote` format.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload the file">
    The resulting `.boxnote` file is uploaded to the specified
    parent folder.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return the result">
    The API returns `201 Created` with the new file's `type` and
    `id`.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Box Notes API version

The Box Notes API is available starting in Box API version `2026.0`.
All API requests to Box Notes API endpoints must include the
`box-version` header set to `2026.0`.

For more details, see
<Link href="/guides/api-calls/api-versioning-strategy">Box API versioning</Link>.

## Supported operations

## Permissions

The Box Notes API uses existing Box file upload permissions. No new
OAuth scopes are required. If the authenticated user has permission
to upload files to the target folder, they can create notes using
this API.

## Limitations

| Constraint              | Limit                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Maximum content size    | 1 MB                           |
| Supported input formats | Markdown only                  |
| Maximum conversion time | Up to 30 seconds per request   |
| Response payload        | Minimal - `type` and `id` only |

<Tip>
  To retrieve full file metadata after creating a note, call
  `GET /2.0/files/{file_id}` with the returned `id`.

# Box Notes API use cases
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-notes/use-cases

Common scenarios and patterns for creating Box Notes programmatically from Markdown content.

The Box Notes API enables developers to programmatically create Box
Notes from Markdown content. This page outlines common use cases and
provides implementation patterns to help you get started.

## AI-generated note creation

AI assistants and LLM-powered applications often generate output in
Markdown format. The Box Notes API lets you save that output directly
as a collaborative Box Note without any intermediate format handling.

**Example workflow:**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate Markdown content">
    Your AI assistant generates a meeting summary, research brief, or
    document draft in Markdown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Call the Notes API">
    Pass the generated Markdown to `POST /2.0/notes/convert` with
    the target folder and a descriptive file name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the result">
    Use the returned file ID with the
    <Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">Collaborations API</Link>
    to share the note with the relevant team, or use the
    <Link href="/reference/put-files-id--add-shared-link">Shared Links API</Link>
    to generate a link.
  </Step>
</Steps>

```sh theme={null}
curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/notes/convert' \
     -H 'box-version: 2026.0' \
     -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
       "content": "# Meeting Summary — May 2026\n\n## Key Decisions\n\n- Approved Q3 budget\n- Launch date set for August 15\n\n## Action Items\n\n- **Alice**: Finalize vendor contracts by June 1\n- **Bob**: Prepare onboarding materials\n- **Carol**: Schedule stakeholder review",
       "content_format": "markdown",
       "parent": {
         "id": "555555555"
       },
       "name": "Meeting Summary — May 2026"
     }'
```

## Automated report generation

Workflow automation tools can convert system-generated reports into
Box Notes on a schedule. This is useful for dashboards, weekly
digests, and operational summaries that your team needs to review
collaboratively.

**Pattern:** Build a scheduled job (cron, AWS Lambda, Azure Function,
or any automation platform) that:

1. Gathers data from your internal systems.
2. Formats the data as Markdown (tables, lists, headings).
3. Calls the Box Notes API to create a note in a shared team folder.
4. Optionally notifies the team using Slack, email, or another channel
   with the Box file link.

## Third-party content import

External applications that store content as Markdown, such as wikis, knowledge
bases, project management tools, or CMS platforms, can import that
content into Box Notes for centralized collaboration and governance.

**Common sources:**

* **Git-based wikis**: Convert repository documentation or
  `README.md` files into Box Notes for non-technical stakeholders.
* **Notion or Confluence exports**: Export pages as Markdown and
  batch-import them into a Box folder structure.
* **CMS content**: Publish approved content as Box Notes for
  review and sign-off workflows.

<Tip>
  When importing multiple files, use a unique `name` for each note to
  avoid `409 Conflict` errors. Consider appending a timestamp or
  identifier to the file name.
</Tip>

## Developer tooling and CLI workflows

Developers can integrate the Box Notes API into scripts, CI/CD
pipelines, or command-line tools to automate note creation as part of
their development workflow.

**Examples:**

* **Post-deployment notes**: After a successful deployment,
  automatically create a Box Note with the release changelog.
* **Incident retrospectives**: A script gathers incident timeline
  data and creates a structured Box Note for the team to
  collaboratively edit.
* **Documentation sync**: Convert local Markdown documentation into
  Box Notes to maintain a synchronized copy in Box for broader team
  access.

## Combining with other Box APIs

The Box Notes API creates the note. You can combine it with other Box
APIs to build complete workflows:

| Goal                              | Box API                                                                     | Details                                                          |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Share the note with collaborators | <Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">Collaborations</Link>           | Add editors, viewers, or co-owners to the new file.              |
| Generate a shared link            | <Link href="/reference/put-files-id--add-shared-link">Shared Links</Link>   | Create a public or company-scoped link to the note.              |
| Retrieve full file metadata       | <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">Get file</Link>                        | Fetch timestamps, owner, size, and other metadata.               |
| Apply metadata to the note        | <Link href="/reference/post-files-id-metadata-id-id">Create metadata</Link> | Tag the note with custom metadata for search and classification. |
| Move or copy the note             | <Link href="/reference/put-files-id">Update file</Link>                     | Move the note to a different folder after creation.              |
| Delete the note                   | <Link href="/reference/delete-files-id">Delete file</Link>                  | Remove notes that are no longer needed.                          |

# Get Enterprise Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise



To get an enterprise's events, make
a call to the <Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> API with the `stream_type` set to
`admin_logs` or `admin_logs_streaming`.

<Info>
  This API requires the user to be an enterprise admin or co-admin with the
  permission to **Run new reports and access existing reports**.
</Info>

## Stream Types

| Stream Type            |                                                      |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `admin_logs`           | Enables querying historical events up to one year    |
| `admin_logs_streaming` | Enables subscribing to live events in near real time |

## Live Monitoring

To monitor recent events that have been generated within Box across the
enterprise, set the `stream_type` to `admin_logs_streaming`. This is also known
as the Enterprise Event Stream API.

The emphasis for this feed is on low latency rather than chronological
accuracy, which means that Box may return events more than once and out of
chronological order. Events are returned via the API in near real time after
they are processed by Box. A small delay/buffer ensures that new events are not
written after your cursor position. Only two weeks of events are available via
this `stream_type`.

## Historical Querying

To query historical events across the enterprise up to one year old, set the
`stream_type` to `admin_logs`. This is also known as the Enterprise Event
History API.

The emphasis for this feed is on completeness over latency, which means that
Box will deliver admin events in chronological order and without duplicates,
but with higher latency than the user or `admin_logs_streaming` feed. Consuming
events in near real time may lead to missed events as events can arrive later
than your filtering window.

## Anonymous Users

In some cases, the event feed might list a user with an ID of `2`. This is Box's
internal identifier for anonymous users.

An anonymous user is a user that is not logged in. This can happen any time a
user interacts with content and they aren't asked to log in first. An example
would be when a user downloads a file through an open shared link.

## Limitations

The enterprise event feed does not support long polling.

Box does not store events indefinitely. Two weeks of enterprise events are
available when `stream_type` is set to `admin_logs_streaming`. One year of
enterprise events are available when `stream_type` is set to `admin_logs`.
Seven years of enterprise events are available via the Box Admin Console’s
[exported reports][reports].

The emphasis of the `admin_logs_streaming` feed is to return the complete
results quickly, which means that Box may return events more than once and out
of order. Duplicate events can be identified by their event IDs.

## Filter by Event Type

The enterprise event feed supports filtering by event type.

A full list of event types can be found below.

## Event Types

The following events can be triggered for an enterprise. This list is not
exhaustive, so it is possible events appear that are not listed.

| Event name                                                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

# Enterprise Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/enterprise-events/index



Enterprise events provide an event feed for all users and content in an
enterprise Box instance. Depending upon the `stream_type` your application can
either subscribe to live events or query historical events. Access to these
stream types is limited to users with admin permissions
to **Run new reports and access existing reports**.


# Migrating From History To Stream
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/enterprise-events/migrate-to-stream



Box recommends that applications subscribing to live events through
`admin_logs` migrate to `admin_logs_streaming`. `admin_logs_streaming` provides
lower and more consistent latency, as well as ensures that late arriving
events are not missed. Events can be deduplicated between `admin_logs` and
`admin_logs_streaming` by their event IDs.

## Enterprise `stream_type` comparison

### Benefits of `admin_logs_streaming`

* Ensures late arriving events are not missed by your subscribing application
* Provides 80% lower latency (during normal operations)
* Has much more consistent latency (during normal operations)
* Recovers much more gracefully from a fault, because your service no longer has to manage backfilling late events

### Differences between `admin_logs` and `admin_logs_streaming`

* Provides two weeks of event history (i.e. retention)
* Does not support the `created_after` and `created_before` filter parameters
* May contain duplicates (provides an 'at least once' guarantee)
* No longer returns events in chronological order (events are returned in roughly the order they are processed)

### Similarities between `admin_logs` and `admin_logs_streaming`

* Shares the same <Link href="/reference/resources/events">`GET /events`</Link> API endpoint
* Returns the same events payload (events can be deduplicated across the two stream types by event ID)
* Enables filtering by `event_type`
* Allows paginating through events via a `stream_position`

## How to migrate from `admin_logs` to `admin_logs_streaming`

### 1. Existing requests will look something like the below

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_type=admin_logs&stream_position=1632893855 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```

### 2. Begin overlapping existing requests with `admin_logs_streaming`

* Start two weeks ago and backfill:

  ```sh theme={null}
  curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_type=admin_logs_streaming&stream_position=0 \
      -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

or

* Start now and run in parallel:

  ```sh theme={null}
  curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_type=admin_logs_streaming&stream_position=now \
      -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

### 3. Paginate through results until now and deduplicate with `admin_logs` events

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_type=admin_logs_streaming&stream_position=1632893855 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```

### 4. Continue to overlap until confident

### 5. Turn off old `admin_logs` requests

# AI Security Detection Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/ai-security-detection-events



The `AI_SECURITY_DETECTION` event is generated when Box AI performs a security scan on input or retrieved content and detects a potential security risk, such as a prompt injection attempt. These events allow you to monitor and audit AI security detections across agent sessions and AI-powered workflows.

<Warning>
  AI security detection events are generated only for Box Agents. Legacy agents are not scanned. Box Shield Pro agents, including the <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/44263764561171-AI-Classification">AI Classification Agent</Link> and the <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/48430758923027-AI-Threat-Analysis">AI Threat Analysis Agent</Link>, are also not scanned.
</Warning>

All AI security detection events are produced within the <Link href="/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise">enterprise event</Link> stream. These events follow the standard <Link href="/reference/resources/event">event</Link> object schema, with `event_type` set to `AI_SECURITY_DETECTION` and detection-specific details nested inside `additional_details`.

```json theme={null}

# Event Source
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/event-source



If a user or item triggers an event, the response of the
<Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> endpoint contains an event source object.

## User Source Object

If a user triggers an event, the source object will be the standard
representation of the <Link href="/reference/resources/user">user resource</Link>.

```json theme={null}
{
  "source": {
    "id": 11446498,
    "type": "user",

## Item Source Object

If an item triggers an event, the source object will be the
<Link href="/reference/resources/event-source">event source resource</Link>.

<Note>
  The below example contains a `classification` object. This does not appear if
  the item does not have a classification set. Also, it does not appear for
  every event type.

# Event Triggers
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/index



Events appear in the event stream based upon actions committed by users,
items, or other resources. The response of the <Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link>
endpoint changes based upon the event that triggered the event.

## User Source Object

If a user triggers an event, the source object will be the standard
representation of the <Link href="/reference/resources/user">user resource</Link>.

```json theme={null}
{
  "source": {
    "id": 11446498,

# Shield Alert Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/shield-alert-events



[Box Shield][box-shield] must be purchased and enabled on a
Box enterprise to take advantage of the advanced security
offerings outlined below.

## Threat detection alerts

Shield [threat detection][threatdetect] delivers context-rich alerts on
potential threats, such as compromised accounts and data theft, based on
anomalous user behavior.

The possible alerts produced by Shield are for:

1. Suspicious locations
2. Suspicious sessions
3. Anomalous downloads
4. Malicious content
5. Ransomware activity (part of Shield Pro)

All Shield threat detection alert events are produced within the
<Link href="/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise">enterprise event</Link> stream. These events follow the
standard event object schema and the `event_type` value is set to
`SHIELD_ALERT`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "source": null,
  "created_by": {
    "type": "user",
    "id": "2",
    "name": "Unknown User",
    "login": ""
  },
  "action_by": null,
  "created_at": "2019-12-20T11:38:56-08:00",
  "event_id": "97f1b31f-f143-4777-81f8-1b557b39ca33",
  "event_type": "SHIELD_ALERT",
  "ip_address": "10.1.2.3",
  "type": "event",
  "session_id": null,
  "additional_details": {
    "..."
  }
}
```

The `additional_details` object provides information
about the specific type of shield alert that triggered the event.

### Suspicious locations alert

A suspicious locations alert is produced when Shield detects a user
accessing content from an unusual, excluded geographic location, or 'host' IP
address. It can be identified by the `Suspicious Locations` value
within `additional_details.shield_alert.rule_category`.

The `additional_details` payload will provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_alert": {
    "rule_category": "Suspicious Locations",
    "rule_id": 123,
    "rule_name": "Suspicious Location",
    "rule_response_action": {
      "restrict_user": true
        },
    "risk_score": 60,
    "alert_summary": {
      "alert_activities": [
        {
          "occurred_at": "2019-12-20T11:37:05-08:00",
          "event_type": "Download",
          "item_name": "xyz.txt",
          "item_type": "file",
          "item_id": "127",
          "item_path": "ABC/DEF",
          "ip_info": {
            "ip": "1.2.3.4",
            "latitude": "37.5555",
            "longitude": "-120.6789",

            "city_name": "San Jose",
            "region_name": "California"
          },
          "service_name": "Box Excel Online Previewer"
        }
      ]
    },
    "alert_id": 2398,
    "priority": "medium",
    "user": {
      "id": 2320,
      "name": "Some name",
      "email": "some@email.com"
    },
    "link": "https://app.box.com/master/shield/alerts/2398",
    "created_at": "2019-12-20T11:37:15-08:00"
  }
}
```

### Suspicious sessions alert

A suspicious sessions alert is produced when Shield detects a user accessing
content in a session characterized by unusual user-agent strings, unusual IDs,
uncommon types of applications, new IP addresses, and an improbably rapid change
in the person's log-in location. It can be identified by the `Suspicious
Sessions` value within `additional_details.shield_alert.rule_category`.

The `additional_details` payload will provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_alert": {
    "rule_category": "Suspicious Sessions",
    "rule_id": 123,
    "rule_name": "Suspicious Session",
    "rule_response_action": null,
    "risk_score": 77,
    "alert_summary": {
      "description": "First time in prior month user connected from ip 2.3.4.5 First time user agent Some User Agent (Some UA 4.5.6) appeared for user within prior month Apparent distance 9580.0 km between events 59 seconds apart is faster than possible",
      "sessions": [
        {
          "session_type": "suspicious",
          "activities": [
            {

### Ransomware activity alert

A ransomware activity alert is produced when Box Shield identifies suspicious file extensions that may be indicative of a ransomware attack. It can be identified by the Ransomware Activity value within `additional_details.shield_alert.rule_category`.

The `additional_details` payload will provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_alert": {
    "rule_category": "Ransomware Activity",
    "rule_id": "1234",
    "rule_name": "Ransomware Detection",
    "rule_response_action": {
      "terminate_sessions": true
    },
    "risk_score": 100,
    "alert_summary": {
      "total_files_affected": 42,
      "ip_details": [
        {
          "ip": "1.2.3.4",
          "registrant": "Microsoft Corporation",
          "latitude": "37.5555",
          "longitude": "-120.6789",
          "city_name": "San Jose",
          "region_name": "California",
          "country_code": "US"
        }
      ],
      "suspicious_file_extensions": [
        "lockbit"
      ],
      "anomaly_period": {
        "date_range": {
          "start_date": "2009-02-13T23:31:30Z",
          "end_date": "2009-02-13T23:31:30Z"
        }
      }
    },
    "alert_id": 1234,
    "priority": "medium",
    "user": {
      "id": 8167630149,
      "name": "Some user",
      "email": "Some@user.com"
    },
    "link": "https://app.box.com/master/shield/alerts/1234",
    "created_at": "2025-08-19T10:44:26-07:00"
  }
}
```

For the Ransomware Activity alert, the `rule_response_action` object reflects
the automated response action taken by Box Shield when the alert was created.
The `terminate_sessions` field indicates whether Box Shield initiated a request to terminate all active sessions of a managed user:

* `true` — the **Terminate Target User Sessions** rule setting was enabled, so Box
  Shield initiated a request to terminate all active sessions of a managed user when the
  alert was created.
* `false` — the **Terminate Target User Sessions** rule setting was disabled, so no
  automated session termination was taken.

The value of `terminate_sessions` depends on the **Terminate Target User Sessions**
setting in the rule configuration, which is off by default.

# Shield Information Barrier Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/shield-information-barrier-events



Information barrier prevents exchanges or
communication that could lead to conflicts of interest
or potential legal issues.
For example, admins can use information barrier
to separate teams based on projects to prevent collaboration on
content restricted to specific groups.

## Events triggered when information barrier is configured

Configuring information barrier produces
events in the <Link href="/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise/">enterprise event</Link> stream. For example,
activating or deactivating the barrier triggers an event.

These events follow
the standard event object schema with the `event_type` value
set to one of the following:

* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ENABLED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_PENDING`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_DISABLED`

### Shield information barrier enabled

A `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ENABLED` event is triggered when
the information barrier is enabled for a file or folder.
For example:

```json theme={null}
{
  "chunk_size": 1,
  "next_stream_position": "1152923169537420243",
  "entries": [
    {
      "source": {
        "barrier_id": 123456,
        "barrier_status": "ENABLED",
        "barrier_segments": [
          {
            "name": "8",
            "member_count": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "9",
            "member_count": 1
          }
      ]
      },
      "created_by": {
        "type": "user",
        "id": "12345667",
        "name": "Unknown User",
        "login": "user@email.com"
      },
      "action_by": null,
      "created_at": "2022-10-04T17:42:53-07:00",
      "event_id": "f82c3ba03e41f7e8a7608363cc6c0390183c3f83",
      "event_type": "SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ENABLED",
      "ip_address": "Unknown IP",
      "type": "event",
      "session_id": null,
      "additional_details": null
    }
  ]
}
```

### Shield information barrier pending

A `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_PENDING` event is triggered
when the information barrier is not yet enabled
for a particular file or folder. The activation process
was triggered, but the information barrier is not yet
in place.
For example:

```json theme={null}
{
  "chunk_size": 1,
  "next_stream_position": "1152923169531664551",
  "entries": [
    {
      "source": {
        "barrier_id": 123456,
        "barrier_status": "PENDING",
        "barrier_segments": [
          {
            "name": "8",
            "member_count": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "9",
            "member_count": 1
          }
        ]
      },
      "created_by": {
        "type": "user",
        "id": "12345667",
        "name": "Unknown User",
        "login": "user@email.com"
      },
      "action_by": null,
      "created_at": "2022-10-04T16:06:57-07:00",
      "event_id": "f82c3ba03e41f7e8a7608363cc6c0390183c3f83",
      "event_type": "SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_PENDING",
      "ip_address": "Unknown IP",
      "type": "event",
      "session_id": null,
      "additional_details": null
    }
  ]
}
```

### Shield information barrier deactivated

A `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_DISABLED` event is triggered when
the information barrier is deactivated
for a particular file or folder.
For example:

```json theme={null}
{
  "chunk_size": 1,
  "next_stream_position": "1152923169767928414",
  "entries": [
    {
      "source": {
        "barrier_id": 1234567,
        "barrier_status": "DISABLED",
        "barrier_segments": [
          {
            "name": "8",
            "member_count": 1
          },
          {
            "name": "9",
            "member_count": 1
          }
        ]
      },
      "created_by": {
        "type": "user",
        "id": "123435567",
        "name": "Unknown User",
        "login": "user@email.com"
      },
      "action_by": null,
      "created_at": "2022-10-07T09:44:41-07:00",
      "event_id": "f82c3ba03e41f7e8a7608363cc6c0390183c3f83",
      "event_type": "SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_DISABLED",
      "ip_address": "Unknown IP",
      "type": "event",
      "session_id": null,
      "additional_details": null
    }
  ]
}
```

## Events triggered by restricted actions

When the information barrier is set up,
each user attempt to perform restricted actions
or access restricted data
also results in events. These events follow
the standard event object schema with the `event_type` value
set to one of the following:

* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_GROUP_ADD_USER_BLOCKED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_COLLAB_BLOCKED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ITEM_OWNER_TRANSFER_BLOCKED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_SHARED_ITEM_ACCESS_BLOCKED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ITEM_MOVE_BLOCKED`
* `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_ITEM_COPY_BLOCKED`

### Adding user blocked

A `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_GROUP_ADD_USER_BLOCKED` event is
triggered when the information barrier prohibits
adding a user to a specific group.

The `additional_details` payload provides details of the
restricted groups.

```json theme={null}
{
  "source": {
    "type": "user",
    "id": "123456677",

}
```

### Collaboration blocked

A `SHIELD_INFORMATION_BARRIER_COLLAB_BLOCKED` event is triggered
when the information barrier prohibits adding
collaborations for users that have restricted access
to a file or folder.

The `additional_details` payload provides details of the restricted
collaboration.

# Shield Smart Access Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/event-triggers/shield-smart-access-events



[Smart Access][smartaccess] enables Box Admins to define and enforce
classification-based access policies to control access and prevent the
unintentional leakage of sensitive content.

Smart Access policies can be configured in
[enforced or monitoring mode][monitoringmode]. In all event types,
a field named `controlMode` appears to say whether the policy is in `enforced`
or `monitoring` mode.

## Download and Print Restriction

If an admin creates a Shield access policy that enforces download or print
restriction and an end user is blocked from downloading or printing a file, an
event is
produced within the <Link href="/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise">enterprise event</Link> stream. If the access policy is
set to monitor potential download and print violations,
events will also be generated
when a user is viewing a folder with a file restricted from download or print,
viewing a file in preview that is restricted from download or print, and when a
user requests to download a file through the API that is restricted from
download or print. These events follow the standard event object schema and the
`event_type` value set to `SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED`.

If downloading is blocked, the `additional-details` payload of the
`SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED` event will provide the below details.

For the Box Web App, the `additional_details` payload will
provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_download_enforcement": {
    "item": {
      "type": "file",
      "id": 987654321,
      "name": "testFile.docx",
      "file_version_id": 38495726173,
      "size": 370,
      "sha1": "db0a61e73b5e6985d190134e0a4b9982c716afeb"
    },
    "access_user": {
      "type": "user",
      "id": 123456789,
      "name": "Some Name",
      "login": "somename@box.com"
    },
    "service": null,
    "additional_info": "",
    "created_at": "2022-02-22T10:35:08-08:00",
    "classification": "Confidential",
    "controlMode": "enforced"
  }
}
```

For the Box Desktop App, the `additional_details` payload will
provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_download_enforcement": {
    "item": {
      "type": "file",
      "id": 123456789,
      "name": "testFile.docx",
      "file_version_id": 987654321,
      "size": 11640,
      "sha1": "368acd076a89ce82e62cac004fa27ea9ce3019d7"
    },
    "access_user": {
      "type": "user",
      "id": 123456789,
      "name": "Some Name",
      "login": "somename@box.com"
    },
    "service": {
      "service": 254429,
      "name": "Box Drive"
    },
    "additional_info": "",
    "created_at": "2022-02-22T10:38:58-08:00",
    "classification": "Confidential",
    "controlMode": "enforced"
  },
  "service_id": "254429",
  "service_name": "Box Drive"
}
```

For Box Mobile apps, the `additional_details` payload will
provide the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_download_enforcement": {
    "item": {
      "type": "file",
      "id": 987654321,

    "classification": "Confidential",
    "controlMode": "monitoring"
  },
  "service_id": "4715",
  "service_name": "Box for Android"
}
```

## External collaboration restriction

If an external collaboration invitation is restricted, an event is produced
within the <Link href="/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise">enterprise event</Link> stream. These events follow
the standard event object schema, with the `event_type` value set
to: `SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_BLOCKED_MISSING_JUSTIFICATION`,
`SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_JUSTIFIED`,
`SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_BLOCKED`,
`SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_ACCESS_BLOCKED_MISSING_JUSTIFICATION`, or
`SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_ACCESS_BLOCKED`.

If an external collaboration invitation is blocked, the `additional-details`
payload of the `SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_BLOCKED` or
`SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_BLOCKED_MISSING_JUSTIFICATION` event will provide
the following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_external_collab_enforcement": {
    "item": {
      "type": "file",
      "id": 987654321,

    "additionalInfo": "",
    "createdAt": null,
    "justification": null,
    "classification": "Confidential",
    "controlMode": "enforced"
  }
}
```

If an external collaboration invitation is justified, the `additional_details`
payload of the `SHIELD_EXTERNAL_COLLAB_INVITE_JUSTIFIED` event will provide the
following details:

```json theme={null}
"additional_details": {
  "shield_external_collab_enforcement": {

# Events overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/index



The event feed provides a way for an application to subscribe to any actions
performed by any user, users, or service in an enterprise.

## User vs Enterprise events

Depending upon the `stream_type`, the <Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> API
enables subscribing to live events across the enterprise or for a particular
user, or querying historical events across the enterprise.

### User events

User events provides a low latency stream of events relevant to the currently
authenticated user. This event stream is how Box keeps [Box Drive][drive] up to
date, but is also made available for developer use.

The emphasis of this feed is to return the complete results quickly, which means
that Box may return events more than once or out of chronological order.
Duplicate events can be identified by their event IDs.

Unlike the enterprise events streams, the user events stream does not support
filtering for specific events. The three user events stream\_types return
slightly different subsets of the user events dataset for different purposes.

| Stream Type |                                                                                        |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `all`       | Returns everything for a user (default)                                                |
| `changes`   | Returns events that may cause file tree changes such as file updates or collaborations |
| `sync`      | Is similar to changes but only applies to synced folders                               |

### Enterprise events

Enterprise events provide an event feed for all users and content in an
enterprise Box instance. Depending upon the `stream_type` your application can
either subscribe to live events or query historical events. Access to these
stream types is limited to users with admin permissions to
**Run new reports and access existing reports**.

Unlike the user events stream, the enterprise events stream supports filtering
based on event type but does not support long polling. Across the two
stream types the dataset is exactly the same. Events can be deduplicated across
the two stream types using their event IDs.

| Stream Type            |                                                      |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `admin_logs`           | Enables querying historical events up to one year    |
| `admin_logs_streaming` | Enables subscribing to live events in near real time |

#### Live Monitoring

To monitor recent events that have been generated within Box across the
enterprise, set the `stream_type` to `admin_logs_streaming`. This is also known
as the Enterprise Event Stream API.

The emphasis for this feed is on low latency rather than chronological
accuracy, which means that Box may return events more than once and out of
chronological order. Events are returned via the API in near real time after
they are processed by Box. A small delay/buffer ensures that new events are not
written after your cursor position. Only two weeks of events are available via
this `stream_type`.

#### Historical Querying

To query historical events across the enterprise up to one year old, set the
`stream_type` to `admin_logs`. This is also known as the Enterprise Event
History API.

The emphasis for this feed is on completeness over latency, which means that
Box will deliver admin events in chronological order and without duplicates,
but with higher latency than the user or `admin_logs_streaming` feed. Consuming
events in near real time may lead to missed events as events can arrive later
than your filtering window.

# Event Stream Parameters
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/parameters/index



The <Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> endpoint can take in several
parameters. `stream_type` and `stream_position` are described in more detail
in this section's guides.


# Stream Position Pagination
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/parameters/pagination



Paginating the event stream works through the use of the `stream_position`
parameter.

First, send a request to the <Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> API without a
`stream_position` query parameter.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

The API will return all available events beginning with the oldest. The response
will also include a `next_stream_position` value that can be used to make the
next API call for the next place in the stream.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_position=388720462721 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

The `stream_position` can also be set to `now` to return the most recent stream
position.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/events?stream_position=now \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

In this case, the API returns an empty list and a `next_stream_position` that
can be used for the next call.

# Get User Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/user-events/for-user



To get a user's events, authenticate as any user and make a call to the
<Link href="/reference/get-events">`GET /events`</Link> API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/events" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.events.getEvents();
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.events.get_events()
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Events.GetEventsAsync();
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.events.getEvents()
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getEvents().getEvents()
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  EventStream stream = new EventStream(api);
  stream.addListener(new EventListener() {
    public void onEvent(BoxEvent event) {
        // Handle the event.
      }
  });
  stream.start();
  ```

  ```py Python v4 theme={null}
  stream_position = 0
  events = client.events().get_events(stream_position=stream_position)
  stream_position = events['next_stream_position']
  for event in events['entries']:
      print(f'Got {event.event_type} event that occurred at {event.created_at}')
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v6 theme={null}
  BoxEventCollection<BoxEnterpriseEvent> events = await client.EventsManager.UserEventsAsync();
  ```

  ```js Node v4 theme={null}
  client.events.get({stream_position: '1408838928446360'}, callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  The events returned will only be for the user whose access token the API was
  made with. To get the event feed for a different user either use the `as-user`
  header or an actual access token for that user.
</Info>

## Stream Types

The user event stream supports 3 types of stream.

| Stream Type |                                                                                         |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `all`       | Returns everything for a user (default)                                                 |
| `changes`   | Returns events that may cause file tree changes such as file updates or collaborations. |
| `sync`      | Is similar to changes but only applies to synced folders                                |

## Anonymous Users

In some cases, the event feed might list a user with an ID of `2`. This is Box's
internal identifier for anonymous users.

An anonymous user is a user that is not logged in. This can happen any time a
user interacts with content and they aren't asked to log in first. An example
would be when a user downloads a file through an open shared link.

## Limitations

Box does not store events indefinitely.

User events are stored for between two weeks and two months, after which the
user events are removed. Enterprise events are accessible for one year via the
API and seven years via exported reports in the Box Admin Console.

The emphasis of this feed is to return the complete results quickly, which means
that Box may return events more than once or out of order. Duplicate events can
be identified by their event IDs.

## Long Polling

The user event stream supports long-polling
<Link href="/guides/events/user-events/polling">through the `OPTIONS /events` API</Link>.

## Event Types

The following events can be triggered for a user. This list is not exhaustive,
so it is possible events appear that are not listed.

The following events are available in all feeds.

| Event name                   | Description                                                                     |

## Event notifications

To reduce the noise of the event stream and optimize event consumption, the event types listed in the table trigger a limited number of notifications.

| Event type                                                                                                  | Notification behavior                                                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `COLLAB_ADD_COLLABORATOR`, `COLLAB_REMOVE_COLLABORATOR`, `COLLAB_INVITE_COLLABORATOR`, `COLLAB_ROLE_CHANGE` | When these events take place, the content owner on the `changes` event stream is notified. Collaborators see an additional event that matches what they see on the `all` stream. |
| `ITEM_DOWNLOAD`                                                                                             | When an item is downloaded, only the content owner gets the notification. Collaborators are not notified.                                                                        |
| `ITEM_PREVIEW`                                                                                              | When an item is previewed, only the content owner gets the notification. Collaborators are not notified.                                                                         |

# User Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/user-events/index



User Events provides a low latency stream of events relevant to the currently
authenticated user. This event stream is how Box keeps Box Drive up to date,
but is also made available for developer use.


# Long-Poll Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/events/user-events/polling



To get real-time notification of activity in a Box account you can use the long
poll feature of the <Link href="/reference/options-events">`OPTIONS /events`</Link> API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X OPTIONS "https://api.box.com/2.0/events" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.events.getEventsWithLongPolling();
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.events.get_events_with_long_polling()
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Events.GetEventsWithLongPollingAsync();
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.events.getEventsWithLongPolling()
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getEvents().getEventsWithLongPolling()
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  events = client.events().generate_events_with_long_polling()
  for event in events:
      print(f'Got {event.event_type} event')
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.events.getEventStream(function(err, stream) {
    if (err) {
      // handle error
    }
    stream.on('data', function(event) {
      // handle the event
    });
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Long polling is only available for user events. Enterprise events do not
  support long polling.
</Warning>

## Long Polling

Long polling involves opening an HTTP request and keeping it open until the
server sends a response, then repeating the process over and over to receive
updated responses.

<Info>
  The SDKs have built-in support for turning the event feeds into an event
  stream by long polling for new events.
</Info>

### Long Poll URL

To use long polling, first send a request to the
<Link href="/reference/options-events">`OPTIONS /events`</Link> API to retrieve the long poll URL.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X OPTIONS https://api.box.com/2.0/events \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "chunk_size": 1,
  "entries": [
    {
      "type": "realtime_server",
      "url": "http://2.realtime.services.box.net/subscribe?channel=cc807c9c4869ffb1c81a&stream_type=all",
      "ttl": 10,
      "max_retries": 10,
      "retry_timeout": 610
    }
  ]
}
```

### Real-Time Servers

Next, make a `GET` request to the provided URL to begin listening for events. If
an event occurs in an account that is being monitored the application will
receive a response with the value `new_change`. The response contains no other
details.

This single response serves as a prompt to take further action such as
sending a request to the `GET /events` endpoint with the last known
`stream_position`.

### Disconnect & Reconnect

After the server sends this response it closes the connection. The application
must now repeat the long poll process to begin listening for events again.

If no events occur for a while after the application connects to the real-time
server the connection will close with a `reconnect` value. When this happens the
application should make a new call to `OPTIONS /events` to restart the process.

### Timeouts & Retries

If the application receives no events in `retry_timeout` seconds then the
application can reconnect to the real-time server. This might be necessary
due to network errors.

If the application receives a `max_retries` error when making a `GET` request to
the real-time server then it must restart the process by making an `OPTIONS` call
to the `/events` API.

# Manage hub collaborations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/hubs-api/hubs-collaborations/hub-collaborations



Box Hub collaborations control who can access a hub and at what role. You can invite users or groups by user ID, group ID, or email (for users). Roles are `editor`, `viewer`, and `co-owner`. You can only invite users who have a Box account (any plan) to collaborate on a hub.

<BoxHeaderHubs />

## Create a hub collaboration

To add a user or group to a hub, call the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/post-hub-collaborations">`POST /2.0/hub_collaborations`</Link> endpoint and provide:

* The hub reference (`HUB_ID`)
* The collaborator's ID and type in the `accessible_by` field
* The level of access granted to a hub in the `role` field

### Create by user ID

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:collaborations:create HUB_ID --role viewer --user-id USER_ID
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/hub_collaborations" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "box-version: 2025.0" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "hub": {
           "type": "hubs",
           "id": "HUB_ID"
         },
         "accessible_by": {
           "type": "user",
           "id": "USER_ID"
         },
         "role": "viewer"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.hubCollaborations.createHubCollaborationV2025R0({

### Create by user email (login)

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:collaborations:create HUB_ID --role editor --login john@example.com
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/hub_collaborations" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "box-version: 2025.0" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "hub": {
           "type": "hubs",
           "id": "HUB_ID"
         },
         "accessible_by": {
           "type": "user",
           "login": "john@example.com"
         },
         "role": "editor"

      CreateHubCollaborationV2025R0AccessibleBy(type="user", login="john@example.com"),
      "editor",
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Replace `HUB_ID`, `USER_ID`, and the email with real values. Valid `role` values are `editor`, `viewer`, and `co-owner`. A successful response returns the new <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/resources/hub-collaboration">Hub collaboration</Link> object.

  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.HubCollaborations.GetHubCollaborationByIdV2025R0Async(hubCollaborationId: hubCollaborationId);
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getHubCollaborations().getHubCollaborationByIdV2025R0(hubCollaborationId);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Update a hub collaboration

To change a collaborator's role, call the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/put-hub-collaborations-id">`PUT /2.0/hub_collaborations/{hub_collaboration_id}`</Link> endpoint with the hub collaboration ID and the new `role`.

       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "role": "editor"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.hubCollaborations.updateHubCollaborationByIdV2025R0(hubCollaborationId, {
    role: 'editor',
  } satisfies HubCollaborationUpdateRequestV2025R0);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.hub_collaborations.update_hub_collaboration_by_id_v2025_r0(hub_collaboration_id, role="editor")
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.HubCollaborations.UpdateHubCollaborationByIdV2025R0Async(hubCollaborationId: hubCollaborationId, requestBody: new HubCollaborationUpdateRequestV2025R0() { Role = "editor" });
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getHubCollaborations().updateHubCollaborationByIdV2025R0(hubCollaborationId, new HubCollaborationUpdateRequestV2025R0.Builder().role("editor").build());
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Manage hub items
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/hubs-api/hubs-items/hub-items



The Box Hub items API allows you to:

* [List all items in a hub](#list-hub-items).
* [Add or remove files, folders, and web links from a hub](#add-or-remove-hub-items).

<Note>
  At this stage, the API supports managing files, folders, and web links only. Elements such as callouts, dividers, paragraphs, or sections must be added in the Box Hubs web interface. Content added through the API is placed in the first content block.
</Note>

<BoxHeaderHubs />

<Note>
  The <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/get-hub-items">`GET /2.0/hub_items`</Link> returns HTTP `207` (Multi-Status). The response body includes the status of each operation (add or remove). Follow the API reference for full response and error handling.
</Note>

## List hub items

To retrieve all items in a Box Hub, call the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/get-hub-items">`GET /2.0/hub_items`</Link> endpoint with the hub ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:items 12345
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/hub_items?hub_id=HUB_ID" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "box-version: 2025.0"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.hubItems.getHubItemsV2025R0({
    hubId: createdHub.id,
  } satisfies GetHubItemsV2025R0QueryParams);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.hub_items.get_hub_items_v2025_r0(created_hub.id)
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.HubItems.GetHubItemsV2025R0Async(queryParams: new GetHubItemsV2025R0QueryParams(hubId: createdHub.Id));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.hubItems.getHubItemsV2025R0(queryParams: GetHubItemsV2025R0QueryParams(hubId: createdHub.id))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getHubItems().getHubItemsV2025R0(new GetHubItemsV2025R0QueryParams(createdHub.getId()));
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Replace `HUB_ID` with your hub ID. You can use optional query parameters `marker` and `limit` for pagination. The response includes an `entries` array of hub items (each with `id`, `type`, `name`).

## Add or remove hub items

To add or remove items in a hub, call the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/post-hubs-id-manage-items">`POST /2.0/hubs/{hub_id}/manage_items`</Link> endpoint with the hub ID and a list of operations. Each operation has an `action` (`add` or `remove`) and an `item` reference (`type` and `id`).

### Add a file to a hub

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:items:manage 12345 --add id=11111,type=file
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/hubs/HUB_ID/manage_items" \

  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getHubItems().manageHubItemsV2025R0(createdHub.getId(), new HubItemsManageRequestV2025R0.Builder().operations(Arrays.asList(new HubItemOperationV2025R0(HubItemOperationV2025R0ActionField.ADD, new FileReferenceV2025R0(file.getId())))).build());
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Add a folder to a hub

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:items:manage 12345 --add id=67890,type=folder
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/hubs/HUB_ID/manage_items" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \

             "action": "add",
             "item": {
               "type": "folder",
               "id": "FOLDER_ID"
             }
           }
         ]
       }'
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.hub_items.manage_hub_items_v2025_r0(
      created_hub.id,
      operations=[
          HubItemOperationV2025R0(
              action=HubItemOperationV2025R0ActionField.ADD,
              item=FolderReferenceV2025R0(id=folder.id),
          )
      ],
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Remove an item from a hub

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:items:manage 12345 --remove id=11111,type=file
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/hubs/HUB_ID/manage_items" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "box-version: 2025.0" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "operations": [
           {
             "action": "remove",
             "item": {
               "type": "file",
               "id": "FILE_ID"
             }
           }
         ]
       }'
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.hub_items.manage_hub_items_v2025_r0(
      created_hub.id,
      operations=[
          HubItemOperationV2025R0(
              action=HubItemOperationV2025R0ActionField.REMOVE,
              item=FileReferenceV2025R0(id=file.id),
          )
      ],
  )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Replace `HUB_ID`, `FILE_ID`, and `FOLDER_ID` with actual IDs. For web links, use `"type": "web_link"` and the web link ID. You can combine multiple add and remove operations in a single request.

## Use cases

* **Automate hub creation:** Use the <Link href="/reference/get-search">Box Search API</Link> or metadata queries to find content matching criteria, then add the filtered results to a hub with the manage hub items endpoint.
* **Event-driven updates:** Use <Link href="/guides/webhooks">webhooks</Link> to react to events (for example, a new file in a folder) and add that content to a hub automatically.

# Copy a hub
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/hubs-api/hubs/copy-hub



To create a copy of an existing Box Hub, call the <Link href="/reference/v2025.0/post-hubs-id-copy">`POST /2.0/hubs/{hub_id}/copy`</Link> endpoint with the source hub ID and optional new title and description. The original hub is not modified.

<BoxHeaderHubs />

## Copy hub

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh Box CLI theme={null}
  box hubs:copy 12345 --title "HR Hub (Copy)" --description "Copy of the HR hub for a new region."
  ```

  ```sh cURL theme={null}

       -d '{
         "title": "HR Hub (Copy)",
         "description": "Copy of the HR hub for a new region."
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.hubs.copyHubV2025R0(createdHub.id, {
    title: copiedHubTitle,
    description: copiedHubDescription,
  } satisfies HubCopyRequestV2025R0);

# Box Hubs overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/hubs-api/index



Box Hubs provide a centralized way to organize content for specific teams, departments, or projects within your organization. They serve as content portals that bring together files, folders, and web links in a structured, easily accessible manner. Box Hubs are integrated with Box AI, allowing for more accurate responses thanks to a narrowed context window. You can ask natural language questions across a hub's content with the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/ask-questions#ask-questions-about-a-hub">Box AI Ask API</Link> by passing the hub as a `hubs` item.

The Box Hubs API lets you programmatically manage Box Hubs, their content, and collaborations. There are three groups of endpoints:

* **Box Hubs:** Create, get, list, update, delete, and copy hubs.
* **Box Hub items:** List items in a hub and add or remove files, folders, and web links.
* **Box Hub collaborations:** Create, list, get, update, and delete hub collaborations to control who can access a hub and at what level.

<Warning>Box Hubs endpoints require the `box-version: 2025.0 header`. If you omit this header, the API returns a 400 error with the message `Missing required box-version header. Supported API versions: [2025.0].` For more information, see [Box API versioning strategy](/guides/api-calls/api-versioning-strategy/).</Warning>

## Enable Box Hubs

To enable Box Hubs (including the API) for your enterprise, follow the [Configuring Box Hubs](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/25822332454547-Configuring-Box-Hubs) product guide.

## Prerequisites

* A Box account with Box Hubs enabled for your enterprise.
* An access token with the appropriate [scopes](/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes) for the operations you need (for example, for listing enterprise hubs, [Global Content Manager (GCM)](/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#global-content-manager-gcm) for admins or Hub Co-admins).

# Hubs APIs use cases
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/hubs-api/use-cases



Managing content portals at scale can be challenging due to the need for manual curation, complex permission management, and inconsistent user experiences across teams.

The Box Hubs API provides the programmatic control for automating the creation, management, and governance of content portals. It handles the complexity—orchestration, security inheritance, and content indexing, so you can build scalable knowledge bases and embed them directly into your applications.

The Box Hubs API empowers developers to:

* **Scale faster:** Automate Hub creation and management using APIs to replace tedious manual configuration with event-driven workflows.
* **Minimize maintenance:** Programmatically inherit Box's enterprise-grade governance, ensuring sensitive data stays protected without building custom security frameworks.
* **Reduce complexity:** Seamlessly embed AI-powered content portals into existing internal portals or third-party tools instead of building custom interfaces from scratch.

## Core Benefits of using the Box Hubs API

* **Security & Compliance:** All content within a Hub inherits the permissions of the underlying source files. The Hubs API respects Box's enterprise-grade security framework, eliminating the need for developers to build custom authentication or encryption layers.
* **AI-Ready Infrastructure:** Hubs are pre-indexed for Box AI. By using the Hubs API, you are tapping into your company's knowledge base, without the complexity of building and maintaining custom RAG systems or storing content in a vector database. Query a hub's content directly with the [Box AI Ask API](/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/ask-questions#ask-questions-about-a-hub) by passing the hub as a `hubs` item.
* **Model-Neutral Flexibility:** Box AI in Hubs allows you to leverage the latest, most powerful LLMs to query your curated content without being locked into a single AI provider.

# Create a metadata cascade policy
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/cascades/create



When a metadata template has been applied to a folder, a metadata cascade policy
can be created by calling the  <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-cascade-policies">`POST /metadata_cascade_policies`</Link> API
endpoint with the `folder_id` of the folder to apply the policy to, and the
`scope` and `templateKey` of metadata template to.

# Force-apply metadata to all items in a folder
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/cascades/force-apply



When a metadata cascade policy already exists on a folder, the metadata instance
can be force-applied to all items in a folder by calling the
<Link href="/reference/post-metadata-cascade-policies-id-apply">`POST /metadata_cascade_policies/:id/apply`</Link> API endpoint with the
`id` of the metadata cascade policy.

  The metadata cascade operation will be started off asynchronously. The API
  call will return directly with the `202 Accepted` HTTP status code before
  the cascade operation is complete. There is currently no way to check for when
  this operation is finished.
</Warning>

## Conflict resolution

An additional `conflict_resolution` parameter can be passed to this API to
define how to deal with any existing instances of the template on any of the
items in the folder.

By default, without setting any value for `conflict_resolution` this API will
preserve the existing value on any items. When the value is set to `overwrite`,
it will force-apply the value of the template attached to the cascade policy
over any existing value.

# Metadata cascade policies overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/cascades/index



A metadata cascade policy describes how <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances">metadata
instances</Link> applied to a folder should be applied to any item
within that folder. For example, a user might assign the same `invoiceData`
metadata template to a project folder allowing it to automatically apply to all
the files and folders within that project folder.

Every policy specifies exactly one metadata template instance and one folder.

## Activation and permissions

To use metadata cascade policies, an enterprise admin needs to enable them for
the entire enterprise. In the **Admin Console**, select **Enterprise Settings**,
**Content & Sharing**, **Cascading Folder Level Metadata**. Click the **Edit
configuration** button and pick who can apply cascade policies to folders.

Any user with edit permissions on a folder and the ability to create cascade
policies can create metadata cascade policies for that given folder.

## Limitations

There is some delay from file upload to the metadata being applied. This very
much depends on the number of items in a folder. Metadata cascade operations
are performed asynchronously and there is currently no way to check when all
metadata has been cascaded to all files.


# List metadata cascade policies

# Classifications
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/classifications



Box enables users and applications to apply a security classification label
to files, and cascade a classification label to folders and their contents.
Classifications help protect shared sensitive content from negligent access
through Box's Governance and Shield products.

The Classification API can be used to create new classification labels
and to assign classifications to files and folders.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

Classifications use the <Link href="/guides/metadata">Metadata APIs</Link> to create classification
labels, and to assign classifications to files and folders. For more details on
metadata templates and instances, please explore our guides
on <Link href="/guides/metadata">Metadata</Link>.

## Classifications & Metadata

Working with classifications requires a developer to work with metadata
templates and instances.

* **The Classification Template:**  to work with classifications, an enterprise needs to have a classification metadata template with at least one classification. This template needs to have a `scope`/`templateKey` of `enterprise.securityClassification-6VMVochwUWo`. This template will hold the possible classification levels, their label names, descriptions, and `colorID` values.
* **Template Instances**: to apply a classification to a file or folder, a developer applies an instance of the `enterprise.securityClassification-6VMVochwUWo` template to the item. When the template is applied, one of the classifications is selected from the list of classifications on the template.

# Date metadata field
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/fields/date



A metadata field of type `date` is displayed to a user as a date picker.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  Although dates are presented to users in the Box Web app as date-pickers, the
  actual dates are actually stored as in `RFC3339` format, with up to
  millisecond precision. The time part of the date is always set to `T00:00:00.000Z`.
</Note>

## Create a date field

A `date` field can be added to a metadata template either when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">creating a
metadata template</Link>, or when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating a
template</Link> with the `addField` operation.

The required attributes for a `date` field are a `type`, a `displayName`, and a
`key`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "scope": "enterprise",
  "displayName": "Contract",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "date",
      "key": "effective_date",
      "displayName": "Effective Date",
      "description": "The effective date when the contract goes in effect",
      "hidden": false
    }
  ]
}
```

Optionally, a `description` can be provided that is shown to a user in the UI,
and the field can be set to `hidden` to hide it from users in the web and mobile
apps.

## Update a date field

A `date` template field can be updated by <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating the
template</Link> it belongs to. Updates to templates happen through
**operations** to ensure that any template that is already assigned to a file or
folder is updated as well.

When updating a `date` metadata field, the only relevant operation is the
`editField` operation, which can be used to change the field's `key`,
`displayName`, `description`, and `hidden` values.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editField",
    "fieldKey": "effective_date",
    "data": {
      "displayName": "Effective Contract Date",
      "description": "The contract's effective date",
      "key": "effective_contract_date",

A metadata field of type `enum` is displayed to a user as a dropdown list. The
user can select one item from the list.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  An `enum` allows a user to select zero or a single value. To allow a user to select
  multiple values, use the <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select">`multiSelect`</Link> template field.
</Note>

## Create an `enum` field

An `enum` field can be added to a metadata template either when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">creating a
metadata template</Link>, or when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating a
template</Link> with the `addField` operation.

The required attributes for an `enum` field are a `type`, a `displayName`, a
`key`, and a list of options.

```json theme={null}
{
  "scope": "enterprise",
  "displayName": "Contract",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "enum",
      "key": "customer_state",

        {"key": "AL"},
        {"key": "AK"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

Optionally, a `description` can be provided that is shown to a user in the UI,
and the field can be set to `hidden` to hide it from users in the web and mobile
apps.

## Update an `enum` field

An `enum` template field can be updated by <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating the
template</Link> it belongs to. Updates to templates happen through
**operations** to ensure that any template that is already assigned to a file or
folder is updated as well.

### Change basic field values

When updating an `enum` metadata field, one of the possible operations is the
`editField` operation, which can be used to change the field's `key`,
`displayName`, `description`, and `hidden` values.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editField",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "data": {
      "displayName": "Customer State (USA)",
      "key": "customer_state_usa"
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  The `fieldKey` here represents the original key of the field to change. The
  `data.key` field is the new key of the field.
</Info>

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Add an option

Adding an option to an `enum` field can be achieved through the
`addEnumOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set to the
key of the `enum` field to change, and a `data` object with the `key` of the new
option to add.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "addEnumOption",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "data": {
      "key": "AR"

  {"key": "N/A"},
  {"key": "AL"},
  {"key": "AK"},
  {"key": "AR"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Reorder options

Reordering the options in an `enum` field can be achieved through the
`reorderEnumOptions` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set
to the key of the `enum` field to change, and an `enumOptionKeys` array with the
keys of the options in order.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "reorderEnumOptions",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "enumOptionKeys": [
      "AL",
      "AK",
      "AR",
      "N/A"
    ]
  }

The list of options should now be as follows.

```json theme={null}
...
"options": [
  {"key": "AL"},
  {"key": "AK"},
  {"key": "AR"},
  {"key": "N/A"}
]
...

<Warning>
  New options can not be added with this operation. This will affect existing
  instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Edit an option

Editing an option of an `enum` field can be achieved through the
`editEnumOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set
to the key of the `enum` field to change, and an `enumOptionKey` to be set to
the key of the field option. Finally, it expects a `data` object with the new
`key` of the field option.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editEnumOption",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "enumOptionKey": "N/A",
    "data": {

  {"key": "AR"},
  {"key": "Outside USA"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Remove an option

Removing an option from an `enum` field can be achieved through the
`removeEnumOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set to the
key of the `enum` field to change, and an `enumOptionKey` to be set to the key
of the field option to remove.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "removeEnumOption",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "enumOptionKey": "AL"

might be represented as an `id` field on an `invoiceData` template.

Every metadata template contains a list of `field` objects, and each field is of
one of the following types:

|                                                                         |                                                                               |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/string">`string`</Link>             | A text field                                                                  |

## Basic field types

The basic field types are a `string` for a text field, `float` for a numeric
field, and `date` for a date-time picker field.

## Lists field types

Additionally, metadata templates support two field types to represent dropdown
lists. An `enum` field represents a list of predefined items that a user can
select, while a `multiSelect` field represents a list of items where the user
can select more than one value.


# Multi Select metadata field
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select



A metadata field of type `multiSelect` is displayed to a user as a dropdown
list. The user can select multiple items from the list.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  A `multiSelect` field allows a user to select zero, one, or more values. To force
  a user to select only one value at most, use the <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/enum">`enum`</Link> template
  field.
</Note>

## Create a `multiSelect` field

A `multiSelect` field can be added to a metadata template either when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">creating
a metadata template</Link>, or when <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating a
template</Link> with the `addField` operation.

The required attributes for a `multiSelect` field are a `type`, a `displayName`,
a `key`, and a list of options.

```json theme={null}
{
  "scope": "enterprise",
  "displayName": "Contract",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "multiSelect",
      "key": "box_entity",
      "displayName": "Box Entity",
      "description": "The Box entity that this contract belongs to",
      "hidden": false,
      "options": [
        {"key": "Box, Inc"},
        {"key": "Box.com (UK) Ltd."},
        {"key": "KK Box Japan"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

Optionally, a `description` can be provided that is shown to a user in the UI,
and the field can be set to `hidden` to hide it from users in the web and mobile
apps.

## Update a `multiSelect` field

A `multiSelect` template field can be updated by <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/update">updating the
template</Link> it belongs to. Updates to templates happen through
**operations** to ensure that any template that is already assigned to a file or
folder is updated as well.

### Change basic field values

When updating a `multiSelect` metadata field, one of the possible operations is
the `editField` operation, which can be used to change the field's `key`,
`displayName`, `description`, and `hidden` values.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editField",
    "fieldKey": "box_entity",
    "data": {
      "displayName": "Box Entities",
      "key": "box_entities"
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  The `fieldKey` here represents the original key of the field to change. The
  `data.key` field is the new key of the field.
</Info>

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Add an option

Adding an option to a `multiSelect` field can be achieved through the
`addMultiSelectOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set
to the key of the `multiSelect` field to change, and a `data` object with the
`key` of the new option to add.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "addMultiSelectOption",
    "fieldKey": "box_entity",
    "data": {
      "key": "Box (NL) BV"
    }
  }
]
```

The list of options should now be as follows.

```json theme={null}
...
"options": [
  {"key": "Box, Inc"},
  {"key": "Box.com (UK) Ltd."},
  {"key": "KK Box Japan"},
  {"key": "Box (NL) BV"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Reorder options

Reordering the options in a `multiSelect` field can be achieved through the
`reorderMultiSelectOptions` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to
be set to the key of the `multiSelect` field to change, and a
`multiSelectOptionKeys` array with the keys of the options in order.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "reorderMultiSelectOptions",
    "fieldKey": "box_entity",
    "multiSelectOptionKeys": [
      "Box, Inc",
      "Box.com (UK) Ltd.",
      "Box (NL) BV",
      "KK Box Japan"
    ]
  }
]
```

The list of options should now be as follows.

```json theme={null}
...
"options": [
  {"key": "Box, Inc"},
  {"key": "Box.com (UK) Ltd."},
  {"key": "Box (NL) BV"},
  {"key": "KK Box Japan"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  New options can not be added with this operation. This will affect existing
  instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Edit an option

Editing an option of a `multiSelect` field can be achieved through the
`editMultiSelectOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be
set  to the key of the `multiSelect` field to change, and a
`multiSelectOptionKey` to be set to the key of the field option. Finally, it
expects a `data` object with the new `key` of the field option.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editMultiSelectOption",
    "fieldKey": "box_entity",
    "multiSelectOptionKey": "Box (NL) BV",
    "data": {
      "key": "Box.nl BV"
    }
  }
]
```

The list of options should now be as follows.

```json theme={null}
...
"options": [
  {"key": "Box, Inc"},
  {"key": "Box.com (UK) Ltd."},
  {"key": "Box.nl BV"},
  {"key": "KK Box Japan"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Remove an option

Removing an option from a `multiSelect` field can be achieved through the
`removeMultiSelectOption` operation. The operation expects the `fieldKey` to be set
to the key of the `multiSelect` field to change, and a `multiSelectOptionKey`
to be set to the key of the field option to remove.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "removeMultiSelectOption",
    "fieldKey": "customer_state",
    "multiSelectOptionKey": "KK Box Japan"
  }
]
```

The list of options should now be as follows.

```json theme={null}
...
"options": [
  {"key": "Box, Inc"},
  {"key": "Box.com (UK) Ltd."},
  {"key": "Box.nl BV"}
]
...
```

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template. Any fields that were set
  to this value will have the value removed from its list of selected values.

# Metadata
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/index



Metadata allows users and applications to define and store custom data
associated with files and folders.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

Metadata consists of key/value pairs that are assigned to a file or a folder.
For example, an important contract may have the key/value pairs of
`clientNumber: 820183` and `clientName: bioMedicalCorp`.

## Metadata terminology

Working with metadata requires a developer to work with a few
distinct types of resources.

* **Templates:**  A <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates">metadata template</Link> describes a re-usable set of key/value pairs that can be assigned to a file. For example, an `invoiceData` template might hold data about an invoice, having a field for the invoice ID as well as the customer ID.
* **Fields:**  A <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields">metadata template field</Link> describes a specific piece of data within a metadata template. For example, the ID of an invoice might be represented as an `id` field on an `invoiceData` template.
* **Instances:** A <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances">metadata instance</Link> describes the relation between a template and a file or folder, including the values that are assigned for every field. For example, a user might have assigned an `invoiceData` metadata template to a file and provided 2 values, one for the invoice ID and one for the customer ID. You can assign up to 100 templates to specific file or folder.
* **Cascade Policies**: A <Link href="/guides/metadata/cascades">metadata cascade policy</Link> describes how metadata instances applied to a folder should be applied to any item within that folder. For example, a user might assign the same `invoiceData` metadata template to a project folder (including the 2 values), allowing them to automatically apply to all the files and folders within that project folder.
* **Queries:** A <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">metadata query</Link> provides a way to find files and folders by searching for the metadata attached to them. For example, to find all the files for an invoice with a certain ID, the query would look for all files and folders with the `invoiceData` template attached to it and a value of `id = :id`, where `:id` would be the value of the invoice.

## The purpose of metadata

Metadata can be used for many purposes. Enterprises may want to have a better
way to organize their digital assets for their marketing teams, or developers
may want to provide advanced content functionality such as facilitating
workflows or approvals.

For example, a `marketingCollateral` template may define where and when specific
marketing content should be used. Users can see a representation of the
template in the Box web application while navigating to a file preview.

# Apply metadata to an item
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/instances/create



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

A metadata template can be applied to a file or folder using the item's `id`,
the template's `templateKey` and `scope`, and a set of values for each field in
the template.

<Info>
  Metadata <Link href="/guides/metadata/scopes">scopes</Link> can be either `global` for templates available to
  all enterprises, `enterprise` for templates available to the current
  enterprise, or the `enterprise_:id` for templates belonging to an enterprise
  whose ID is the `:id` value in the scope name.
</Info>

<Warning>
  You can assign up to 100 templates to specific file or folder.
</Warning>

## Apply metadata to a file

To apply an instance of a metadata template to a file, call the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-id-metadata-id-id">`POST /files/:file_id/metadata/:scope/:templateKey`</Link> API endpoint
with the file's `file_id`, the template's `scope` and `templateKey`,  and an

<Info>
  To get the `scope` and `templateKey` for a template, either
  <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/list">list all metadata templates</Link>, or
  <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances/list">list all instances on an folder</Link>.
</Info>

<Warning>
  **Tuple already exists error**

  When there is already metadata applied to this folder for the given metadata
  template, a error is returned with the error code `tuple_already_exists`. In
  this case, it this case the instance needs to be [updated
  instead](/guides/metadata/instances/update).
</Warning>

## Request body

The body of the request can contain a value for each <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields">field</Link> in the
template. To inspect what fields are present on a template, <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/get">inspect a
metadata metadata template</Link>.

For example, let's assume the following template.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "type": "metadata_template",
  "templateKey": "productInfo",
  "scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "displayName": "Product Info",
  "hidden": false,
  "copyInstanceOnItemCopy": true,
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "feed71de-41e5-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
      "type": "string",
      "key": "name",
      "displayName": "Name",
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "id": "02b36bb6-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
      "type": "enum",
      "key": "category",
      "displayName": "Category",
      "hidden": false,
      "options": [
        {
          "id": "06a7bcc2-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
          "key": "SUVs"
        },
        {
          "id": "0a50df02-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
          "key": "Saloons"
        },
        {
          "id": "0e466be0-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
          "key": "Cabriolets"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

This template has 2 <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields">template fields</Link>, `name` and `category`. The `name`
field is a regular text field, and the `category` is an enum.

The request body to assign this template to a file or folder can include a value
for any of the fields on the template. It is possible for the body to have no
values for no fields.

In this case, a valid example would be the following request body.

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "Model 3",
  "category": "SUVs"
}
```

<Note>
  One exception is a `global` scoped template with the key `properties` that can
  be used to assign any data to a template. Using this template, any set of
  key/value pairs can be assigned to a template.
</Note>

<Warning>
  The `category` field in this example is an `enum` field and needs to be one of
  the available options on the field.

# Metadata instances overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/instances/index



A <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances">metadata instance</Link> describes the relation between
a <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates">metadata template</Link> and a file or folder. It includes the values
that are assigned for every field of the template.

For example, a user might have assigned an `invoiceData` metadata template to a
file and provided 2 values, one for the invoice ID and one for the customer ID.

You can assign up to 100 templates to specific file or folder.


# List all metadata on an item

Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/instances/update



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Updating the metadata applied to a file or folder can be done by using the
item's `id`, the template's `templateKey` and `scope`, and a set of JSON
operations to manipulate the data on the template instance.

## Update metadata on a file

To update the metadata to a file, call the
<Link href="/reference/put-files-id-metadata-id-id">`PUT /files/:file_id/metadata/:scope/:templateKey`</Link> API endpoint
with the file's `file_id`, the template's `scope` and `templateKey`, set of JSON
operations to manipulate the data on the template instance.

</Info>

## JSON Operations

Updating an piece of metadata follow the [JSON-Patch specification][jsonpatch],
which is represented as a list of operation objects.

For metadata instances, these operations can be either `add`, `replace`,
`remove` , `test`, `move`, or `copy`. Every operation exists out of an `op`
name, the [JSON Pointer][pointer] `path` that points to the field to changes,
and an optional `value` or `from` value depending on the operation being made.

```json theme={null}
[
  { "op": "test", "path": "/competitiveDocument", "value": "no" },
  { "op": "remove", "path": "/competitiveDocument" },
  { "op": "test", "path": "/status", "value": "active" },
  { "op": "replace", "path": "/status", "value": "inactive" },
  { "op": "test", "path": "/author", "value": "Jones" },
  { "op": "copy", "from": "/author", "path": "/editor" },
  { "op": "move", "from": "/currentState", "path": "/previousState" },
  { "op": "add", "path": "/currentState", "value": "reviewed" }
]
```

<Warning>
  When editing metadata, only values that adhere to the metadata template schema
  will be accepted. The update is applied completely or not at all. If any
  errors occur during the application of the update operations, the metadata
  instance is not changed.

  The template instance can only be updated if the template has already been
  assigned to the file or folder.
</Warning>

### Add a new value

To add a new value on a template, use the `add` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/name",
    "value": "Model 3"
  }
]
```

This will add the `name` field with a value of `Model 3` . Before this
operation, the template did not have a value for the `name` field.

```json theme={null}
{
  // "name": null, // old value
  "name": "Model 3", // new value
  "category": "SUVs",
  "$type": "productInfo-8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$parent": "folder_3456",
  "$id": "22ba8c96-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$version": 3,
  "$typeVersion": 0,
  "$template": "productInfo",
  "$scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

<Warning>
  For `enum` and `multiSelect` fields this new value needs to be one of the
  valid options for the field.
</Warning>

### Replace a value

To replace a value on a template, use the `replace` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/name",
    "value": "Model 4"
  }
]
```

This will replace the `name` field value `Model 3` with a new value of `Model
4`.

```json theme={null}
{
  // "name": "Model 3", # Old value
  "name": "Model 3", // new value
  "category": "SUVs",
  "$type": "productInfo-8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$parent": "folder_3456",
  "$id": "22ba8c96-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$version": 3,
  "$typeVersion": 0,
  "$template": "productInfo",
  "$scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

<Warning>
  For `enum` and `multiSelect` fields this new value needs to be one of the
  valid options for the field.
</Warning>

### Copy a value

To copy a value from one field to another, use the `copy` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "copy",
    "from": "/name",
    "path": "/displayName"
  }
]
```

This will add the `displayName` field with a value that matches the value of the
`name` field. Before this operation, the template did not have a value for the
`displayName` field.

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "Model 3",
  "displayName": "Model 3", // new value, copied from the name
  "category": "SUVs",
  "$type": "productInfo-8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$parent": "folder_3456",
  "$id": "22ba8c96-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$version": 3,
  "$typeVersion": 0,
  "$template": "productInfo",
  "$scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

<Warning>
  For `enum` and `multiSelect` fields this new value needs to be one of the
  valid options for the field.
</Warning>

### Move a value

To move a value from one field to another, use the `move` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "copy",
    "from": "/name",
    "path": "/displayName"
  }
]
```

This will add the `displayName` field with a value that matches the value of the
`name` field. Before this operation, the template did not have a value for the
`displayName` field. After this operation, the `name` field no longer exists.

```json theme={null}
{
  // "name": "Model 3", // old value, no longer present now
  "displayName": "Model 3", // new value, copied from the name
  "category": "SUVs",
  "$type": "productInfo-8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$parent": "folder_3456",
  "$id": "22ba8c96-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$version": 3,
  "$typeVersion": 0,
  "$template": "productInfo",
  "$scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

<Warning>
  For `enum` and `multiSelect` fields this new value needs to be one of the
  valid options for the field.
</Warning>

### Remove a value

To remove a value from the metadata instance, use the `remove` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "remove",
    "path": "/name"
  }
]
```

This will remove the `name` field completely from the metadata instance.

```json theme={null}
{
  // "name": "Model 3", // old value, no longer present now
  "category": "SUVs",
  "$type": "productInfo-8120731a-41e4-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$parent": "folder_3456",
  "$id": "22ba8c96-41e6-11ea-b77f-2e728ce88125",
  "$version": 3,
  "$typeVersion": 0,
  "$template": "productInfo",
  "$scope": "enterprise_1234567",
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

<Warning>
  For `enum` and `multiSelect` fields this new value needs to be one of the
  valid options for the field.
</Warning>

### Test a value

To test that a field has the value you expect, use the `test` operation.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "test",
    "path": "/name",
    "value": "Model 4"
  }
]
```

When a test fails the API will not perform any of the operations and return a
`409 Conflict` HTTP status with the following error.

```json theme={null}
{
  "message": "value differs from expectations",
  "code": "failed_json_patch_application",
  "request_id": "bzxgr1gbcq5h67pj"
}
```

The main purpose of this operation is to validate that the values on the
metadata instance are as expected before any operations are performed. The Box
API either performs all changes or none, and therefore a failing test is very
useful to ensure all values are expected before any transformation is applied.

# Comparison to regular search
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/comparison



At the surface the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read">Metadata Query API</Link> seems very similar to the
<Link href="/reference/get-search">Search for content API</Link>, but there are several important
differences in how they operate. At a high level the Metadata Query API is
optimized for exactness and throughput, while regular search is optimized for
relevance to a human user.

## Deep comparison

  Search API calls that match more than 10,000 results may result in slight
  changes in relevance. This may result in duplicate results and results that
  are not returned. Search should not be considered an ​exact matching​ solution
  on large data sets.
</Warning>

## Scenarios

The following are some example scenarios that may help you decide what API to use.

### Searching an entire enterprise for a term

You want to find all content in an enterprise with content or metadata that
matches the keyword `Guarantee`.

In this case the <Link href="/reference/get-search">Search API</Link> is recommended. This API matches terms
in both content and metadata, and can be scoped to find all content in the
entire enterprise.

### Searching for multiple metadata values

You want to find all documents with the metadata template `​Contract​` having a
value greater than \$100,000, a renewal date in 2019, and which are ​not​ associated
with account number `​1234`.

In this case the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read">Metadata Query API</Link> is recommended. With a metadata
query you can write boolean expressions that evaluate multiple fields in
a metadata template, such as a number, a date, and a string.

### Mixing metadata and content search

You want to find all documents with the metadata template `​Contract​` having a
value greater than \$100,000, renewal date in 2019, which are ​not​ associated with
account number `​1234`, ​and which contain the term “Sale” in the title or document
body.

This scenarios is currently **not supported**. At the moment neither of the APIs
supports mixing both fuzzy search (searching for "Sale") and the boolean
expression matching metadata fields.


# Create a query
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/create



A metadata query is a `POST` request to the ​`/metadata_queries/execute_read`-
endpoint, in which the body contains all the parts of the metadata query. Most
important here are the `from` attribute that specifies the template to search
for, the `ancestor_folder_id` to specify the folder to search in, and the
`query` to determine any template fields to search by.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "from": "enterprise_123456.contractTemplate",
      "query": "amount >= :value",
      "query_params": {
        "value": 100
      },
      "fields": [
        "name",
        "metadata.enterprise_123456.contractTemplate.customerName",
        "metadata.enterprise_123456.contractTemplate.amount"
      ],
      "ancestor_folder_id": "5555",
      "order_by": [
        {
          "field_key": "amount",
          "direction": "asc"
        }
      ],
      "limit": 100
    }'
```

## Response

Any files or folders that match the query are returned in the API response.
The body of the response is a JSON object with a list of `entries` for each file
or folder, and a `next_marker` value that you can use to find the next page of
results. Each of the entries will represent the file or
folder that matched the query, and only any fields explicitly requested in the
`field` parameter are returned.

```json theme={null}
{
  "entries": [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "id": "1617554169109",
      "name": "My Contract.docx",
      "metadata": {
        "enterprise_123456": {
          "contractTemplate": {
            "$parent": "file_161753469109",
            "$scope": "enterprise_123456",
            "$template": "contractTemplate",
            "$version": 0,
            "customerName": "Phoenix Corp",
            "amount": 100
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "limit": 20,
  "next_marker": "AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6yWu2nwmanfMh07IyYInaa7DZDYjgO1H4KoLW29vPlLY173OKsci6h6xGh61gG73gnaxoS+o0BbI1/h6le6cikjlupVhASwJ2Cj0tOD9wlnrUMHHw3/ISf+uuACzrOMhN6d5fYrbidPzS6MdhJOejuYlvsg4tcBYzjauP3+VU51p77HFAIuObnJT0ff"
}
```

By default this API returns `20` items per page, but more items can be requested
using marker-based pagination.

# Common errors
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/errors



Metadata query API errors mostly are <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors">similar to errors returned by other
APIs</Link>, however at this time some incorrect client requests may result in
a server-side error with a HTTP status code in the `5XX` range rather than an
appropriate `400 Bad Request` error.

This is a known issue which will be addressed soon.

## Incorrect template key and scope

A common error is to use an incorrect value for the `from` value in the
request, which can result in various errors in the `HTTP 4XX` range.

Without a correct `from` value the API does not know what template to search
for. The value in `from` must be formed as `scope.templateKey`.

In this case `scope` is your enterprise's template scope, which looks something
like `enterprise_123456`. The numeric value here is your enterprise's ID. Any
scope that does not match this format, including the `global` scope and the
`enterprise` shorthand scope, will return an error.

The `templateKey` is the unique key for the metadata template within your
enterprise. The API returns an error when a template with the given key does not
exist, or when the key is used within the wrong enterprise were the key does not
exist.

<Note>
  The <Link href="/reference/get-metadata-templates-enterprise">List all metadata templates for enterprise endpoint</Link>
  can be used to list all templates available in your enterprise,
  including their `scope` and `templateKey`.
</Note>

## Missing value in `query_param`

A common error is to forget to include a query argument in the `query_params`
object, which results in a `HTTP 400` error with a code of
`unexpected_json_type`.

Without all arguments present in the `query_params` the API can not compile your
request into a full query.

For example, assume your search `query` is as follows
`amount >= :value AND status = :status`. All of the arguments that start with a
colon `:` will need to be present in the `query_params`. In this case your query
parameters would have to look something like this. Missing out on any of these
values will result in an error.

```json theme={null}
"query_params": {
  "value": 100,
  "status": "active"
}
```

<Note>
  The name of each argument can configured to your liking and does not need to
  match the field key. The only requirement is that it starts with a `:`.
</Note>

## Missing `ancestor_folder_id`

A common error is to forget the `ancestor_folder_id` in the request, which
results in a `HTTP 400` error with a code of `bad_request`.

Without the `ancestor_folder_id` value the API does not know what folder to
search for results in. When in doubt a value of `0` can be used for the user's
root folder.


# Metadata queries
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/index



A metadata query provides a way to find files and
folders by searching for the metadata attached to them.

For example, to find the all files for an invoice with a certain ID, the query
would look for all files and folders with the `invoiceData` template attached to
it and a value of `id = :id`, where `:id` would be the value of the invoice.

## Authentication

The metadata query API can be used by applications that have been authenticated
using traditional <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> or <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link>.


# Query item fields
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/item-fields



Item fields are searchable metadata fields that describe items (files and folders) in Box. These fields expose built-in item properties such as name, type, owner, and timestamps with defined data types so you can filter, sort, and search Box content.

## Supported item fields

The following table lists the item fields you can use in metadata queries.

| Field name                 | Description                                                                         | Sorting |
| -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- |
| `item.type`                | Type of the item: `file` or `folder`                                                | Yes     |
| `item.name`                | Name of the item                                                                    | Yes     |
| `item.description`         | Description of the item                                                             | Yes     |
| `item.extension`           | File extension, such as `pdf`, `jpeg`, `xlsx`, `txt`, `xls`, `png`, `log`, or `csv` | Yes     |
| `item.owned_by`            | Owner of the item, for example `user_123`                                           | Yes     |
| `item.owner_enterprise_id` | Enterprise ID of the item owner, for example `1234`                                 | Yes     |
| `item.created_at`          | Date and time when the item was created in Box                                      | Yes     |
| `item.modified_at`         | Date and time when the item was last updated in Box                                 | Yes     |


# Metadata query limitations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/limitations



A few limits apply to the metadata query APIs.

## Files and folders

​A metadata query will only return items (files or folders) to which the
requesting user has at least `previewer` access.

## Enterprise vs Global templates

A metadata query only works with metadata templates that have been created by
that enterprise. A query will not return results based on the content of free
form key-value pairs stored in the `​global.properties` template.

## Classification metadata templates

Box uses metadata templates to power its content classification. These metadata
templates can not be used in metadata queries, as they will most likely run
into issues regarding large results sets. More on this next.

There are no immediate plans to start supporting these queries in the future.


# Paginate and sort
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/pagination



By default only 20 query results are returned per page and the order of these
results is not guaranteed and may change. Pagination and sorting allow for
getting more results and defining the order of the results.

## Pagination

By default the API only returns the first page of 20 results. To request more
results per page the `limit` query parameter can be send with the request.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "from": "enterprise_123456.contractTemplate",
      "fields": ["name"],
      "ancestor_folder_id": "5555",
      "limit": 100
    }'
```

The maximum value for `limit` is 100. To return more pages of results each page
returns a `next_marker` value.

```json theme={null}
{
  "entries": [...],
  "next_marker": "AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6yWu2nwmanfMh07IyYInaa7DZDYjgO1H4KoLW29vPlLY173OKsci6h6xGh61gG73gnaxoS+o0BbI1/h6le6cikjlupVhASwJ2Cj0tOD9wlnrUMHHw3/ISf+uuACzrOMhN6d5fYrbidPzS6MdhJOejuYlvsg4tcBYzjauP3+VU51p77HFAIuObnJT0ff"
}
```

This `next_marker` can be used to form a new request for the next page of
results.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "from": "enterprise_123456.contractTemplate",
      "fields": ["name"],
      "ancestor_folder_id": "5555",
      "limit": 100,
      "marker": "AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6yWu2nwmanfMh07IyYInaa7DZDYjgO1H4KoLW29vPlLY173OKsci6h6xGh61gG73gnaxoS+o0BbI1/h6le6cikjlupVhASwJ2Cj0tOD9wlnrUMHHw3/ISf+uuACzrOMhN6d5fYrbidPzS6MdhJOejuYlvsg4tcBYzjauP3+VU51p77HFAIuObnJT0ff"
    }'
```

<Note>
  When a response does not include a next marker it indicates that no more
  matching results exist.
</Note>

<Warning>
  To use the `next_marker` it is important to use the exact same query for the
  next page of results. The API will return an error if any of the parameters
  like the `query`, `query_params`, or others are changed.
</Warning>

## Sort

Results can be ordered by any of the supported metadata field types. These only
supported types currently are `float`, `date`, and `string`
<Link href="/guides/metadata/fields">fields</Link>. Ordering by `enum` or `multiSelect` value is
currently not supported.

To order result, provide one or more field keys to sort by, as well as a
direction.

```json theme={null}
"order_by": [
  {
    "field_key": "amount”,
    "direction": "desc"
  },
  {
    "field_key": "created_at",
    "direction": "desc"
  }
]
```

<Warning>
  The ordering direction must be the same for all ​​specified keys. In other
  words, for each `field_key` the `direction` must be the same.
</Warning>


# Query syntax
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/queries/syntax



The query syntax for the metadata query API is similar to that of a SQL
database. To query for all files and folders that match a contract metadata
template with a contract value of over \$100 the following metadata query could
be created.

```json theme={null}
{
  "from": "enterprise_123456.contractTemplate",
  "query": "amount >= :value",
  "query_params": {
    "value": 100
  },
  "fields": [
    "name",
    "metadata.enterprise_123456.contractTemplate.amount"
  ],
  "ancestor_folder_id": "5555"
}
```

In this case the `from` value represents the `scope` and `templateKey` of the
metadata template, and the `ancestor_folder_id` represents the folder ID to
search within, including its subfolders.

## The `fields` parameter

By default, this API will only return the base-representation of a file or
folder, which includes their `id`, `type`, and `etag` values. To request any
additional data the `fields` parameter can be used to query any additional
fields, as well as any metadata associated to the item.

For example:

* `created_by` will add the details of the user who created the item to the response.
* `metadata.<scope>.<templateKey>` will return the base-representation of the metadata instance identified by the `scope` and `templateKey`.
* `metadata.<scope>.<templateKey>.<field>` will return all fields in the base-representation of the metadata instance identified by the `scope` and `templateKey` plus the field specified by the `field` name. Multiple fields for the same `scope` and `templateKey` can be defined.

## The `query` parameter

The `query` parameter represents the SQL-like query to perform on the selected
metadata instance. This parameter is optional, and without this parameter the
API would return all files and folders for this template.

Every left hand field name, like `amount`, needs to match the `key` of a
field on the associated metadata template. In other words, you can only search
for fields that are actually present on the associated metadata instance. Any
other field name will result in the error returning an error.

### The `query_params` parameter

To make it less complicated to embed dynamic values into the query string, an
argument can be defined using a colon syntax, like `:value`. Each argument that
is specified like this needs a subsequent value with that key in the
`query_params` object, for example:

```json theme={null}
{
  ...,
  "query": "amount >= :amount AND country = :country",
  "query_params": {
    "amount": 100,
    "country": "United States"
  },
  ...
}
```

### Logical operators

A query supports the following logical operators.

| Operator      |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `AND`         | Matches when all the conditions separated by `AND` are `TRUE`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `OR`          | Matches when any of the conditions separated by `OR` is `TRUE`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| `NOT`         | Matches when the preceding condition(s) is **not** `TRUE`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `LIKE`        | Matches when the template field value matches a pattern. Only supported for string values. See [pattern matching](#pattern-matching) for more details. See additional limitations below.                                                                                                                |
| `NOT LIKE`    | Matches when the template field value does **not** match a pattern. Only supported for string values. See [pattern matching](#pattern-matching) for more details. See additional limitations below.                                                                                                     |
| `ILIKE`       | Identical to `LIKE` but case insensitive. See additional limitations below.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| `NOT ILIKE`   | Identical to `NOT LIKE` but case insensitive. See additional limitations below.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| `IN`          | Matches when a template field value equals any value in a specified list. Use explicitly defined `query_params` arguments for each list item, such as `amount IN (:arg1, :arg2, :arg3)`. By design, the IN operator isn't supported for multiselect fields in metadata queries and returns a 400 error. |
| `NOT IN`      | Similar to `IN` but when the template field value matches none of the arguments provided in the list.                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `IS NULL`     | Matches when the template field value is `null`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `IS NOT NULL` | Matches when the template field value is not `null` .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| `HASANY`      | Matches when the field value is equal to any of the arguments provided. The format requires each item in the list to be an explicitly defined `query_params` argument, for example, amount `HASANY (:arg1, :arg2, :arg3)`.                                                                              |
| `HASALL`      | Matches when the field value has a match for all the arguments provided. The format requires each item in the list to be an explicitly defined `query_params` argument, for example, amount `HASALL (:arg1, :arg2, :arg3)`.                                                                             |
| `HASANCESTOR` | Matches when the field value is a descendant of any argument provided. The format requires each item in the list to be an explicitly defined `query_params` argument, for example, amount `HASANCESTOR (:arg1, :arg2, :arg3)`. Supported only for the taxonomy MD field.                                |

<Note>
  Any match on a `string` or `enum` field is case sensitive except when using
  the `ILIKE` operator.
</Note>

### Comparison operators

A query supports the following comparison operators.

| Operator |                                                                                    |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `=`      | Ensures a template field value is **equal to** the specified value                 |
| `>`      | Ensures a template field value is **greater than** the specified value             |
| `<`      | Ensures a template field value is **less than** the specified value                |
| `>=`     | Ensures a template field value is **greater than or equal to** the specified value |
| `<=`     | Ensures a template field value is **less than or equal to** the a specified value  |
| `<>`     | Ensures a template field value is **not equal to** the a specified value           |

<Warning>
  Bit-wise and arithmetic operators are not supported by the Metadata Query API.
</Warning>

### Pattern matching

The `LIKE`, `NOT LIKE`, `ILIKE`, and `NOT ILIKE` operators match a string
to a pattern. The pattern supports the following reserved characters.

* `%` The percent sign represents zero, one, or multiple characters, for example `%Contract` matches `Contract`, `Sales Contract`, but not `Contract (Sales)`,
* `_` The underscore represents a single character, for example `Bo_` matches `Box`, `Bot`, but not `Bots`,

Both of these reserved characters can be used before, after, or in between other
characters. A pattern can include multiple reserved characters, for example
`Box% (____)` would match `Box Contract (2020)`.

An example query would looks something like this. Note that the `%`-wrapped
string is not in the `query` attribute but in the list of `query_params`.

```json theme={null}
{
  ...,
  "query": "country ILIKE :country",
  "query_params": {
    "country": "%United%"
  },
  ...
}
```

<Note>
  The backslash character `\` can be used to escape the `%` or
  `_` characters if those need to be matched literally, for example
  `20\%` would match the literal value of `20%`.
</Note>

Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/quick-start/create-instance



<ProgressBar />

With your new `customerData` template in hand you can now apply this template to
a file or folder. To apply this template you will need the `scope` and
`templateKey` of the template, as well as the ID of the item to apply the
template to.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}

      }
  ).then(metadata => {

and folders based on the metadata attached to those files/folders.

A <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">metadata query</Link> provides a way to find files and
folders by searching for the metadata attached to them. The search syntax
is similar to SQL and it supports boolean operations and comparative operators
to perform powerful searches.

In our case, let's create a query to find any files or folders that have an
instance of the `customerInfo` metadata template attached to them. We will
filter this list down to any files that belong to a customer who's total account
value is more than \$200,000.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" ' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    -d '{
      "from": "enterprise_123456.customerInfo",
      "fields": [
        "name",
        "enterprise_123456.customerInfo.name"
        "enterprise_123456.customerInfo.tav"
      ],
      "query": "tav >= :value",
      "query_params": {
        "value": 200000
      },
      "ancestor_folder_id": "0"
    }'
```

This API will return a list of matched files and folders, as well as the
metadata that matched the query for that file.

```json theme={null}
{
  "entries": [
    {
      "type": "file",
      "id": "11111",
      "etag": "0",
      "metadata": {
        "enterprise_123456": {
          "customerInfo": {
            "name": "Box",
            "tav": 1000000,
            "$parent": "folder_12345,",
            "$scope": "enterprise_123456",
            "$template": "customerInfo",
            "$version": 1
          }
        }
      }
    }
  ],
  "limit": 20,
  "next_marker": "AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6yWu2nwmanfMh07IyYInaa7DZDYjgO1H4KoLW29vPlLY173OKsci6h6xGh61gG73gnaxoS+o0BbI1/h6le6cikjlupVhASwJ2Cj0tOD9wlnrUMHHw3/ISf+uuACzrOMhN6d5fYrbidPzS6MdhJOejuYlvsg4tcBYzjauP3+VU51p77HFAIuObnJT0ff"
}
```

By default this API returns `20` items per page, but more items can be requested
using marker-based pagination.

# Create a custom metadata template
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/quick-start/create-template



<ProgressBar />

To create a custom metadata template for your enterprise you can use
<Link href="/reference/post-metadata-templates-schema">our API directly</Link> or
one of our SDKs to create a new template.

For this `customerInfo` template, we're going to create a template with 3
fields. The first field is a text field to hold the customer's `name`, the
second is a dropdown list of the possible values for the `industry` the customer
operates in, and the final field represents the total annual contract value (`tav`).

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/fields")} title="Learn about the different field types" />

To create this template we need to pass in the configuration for the fields, as
well as a display name for the field.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}

<Warning>
  **Admin permissions required**

  Creating metadata templates is restricted to users with admin permission. This

  app or the API to manage templates.
</Warning>

The API will return the newly created metadata template.

<Note>
  **Template key**

  Although you did not explicitly set the template key the key is automatically
  derived from the `displayName` value. In this case, the `templateKey` would be
  `customerInfo`.

# List all metadata templates (quick start)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/quick-start/list-all



<ProgressBar />

It's likely your enterprise already has a list of metadata templates that you
can use right off-the-shelve without having to create your own.

In general, metadata templates are either available to only your enterprise or
to every enterprise using Box. The `scope` of a template defines if a template
is available to everyone (`global`) or only to your enterprise (`enterprise`).

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/scopes")} title="Learn more about metadata scopes" />

## Listing templates

A few <Link href="/reference/get-metadata-templates-global">global templates</Link> are available to all
customers.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_templates/global" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.metadataTemplates.getGlobalMetadataTemplates();
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.metadata_templates.get_global_metadata_templates()
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.MetadataTemplates.GetGlobalMetadataTemplatesAsync();
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.metadataTemplates.getGlobalMetadataTemplates()
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTemplates().getGlobalMetadataTemplates()
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  Iterable<MetadataTemplate> templates = MetadataTemplate.getEnterpriseMetadataTemplates('global', api);
  for (MetadataTemplate templateInfo : templates) {
      // Do something with the metadata template.
  }
  ```

  ```py Python v4 theme={null}
  templates = client.get_metadata_templates(scope='global)
  for template in templates:
      print(f'Metadata template {template.templateKey} is in global scope')
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v6 theme={null}
  BoxEnterpriseMetadataTemplateCollection<BoxMetadataTemplate> templates = await client.MetadataManager
      .GetEnterpriseMetadataAsync("global");
  ```

  ```js Node v4 theme={null}
  client.metadata.getTemplates('global')
   .then(templates => {
    // ...
   });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Many of these templates are for Box's internal use, yet your application can use
and apply these. More useful are templates <Link href="/reference/get-metadata-templates-enterprise">created by applications and admins
within your enterprise</Link> to hold data
specific to your enterprise's needs.

## A metadata template

A <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates">metadata template</Link> describes a set of key/value
pairs that can be assigned to a file or folder.

For example, a `customerInfo` template might hold data about a customer,
having a field for the customer name as well as the customer's industry.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "100ac693-a468-4b37-9535-05984b804dc2",
  "type": "metadata_template",
  "templateKey": "customerInfo",
  "scope": "enterprise_12345",
  "displayName": "Customer Info",
  "hidden": false,
  "copyInstanceOnItemCopy": false,
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "5c6a5906-003b-4654-9deb-472583fc2930",
      "type": "string",
      "key": "name",
      "displayName": "Name",
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "id": "cf3eb5b8-52ef-456c-b175-44354a27e289",

# Update metadata on a file
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/quick-start/update-instance



<ProgressBar />

Once metadata has been applied to a file or folder there is often a need to
update the metadata at a later date.

Updating a metadata instance is done by applying a set of operations to the
original data. These operations are performed atomically, ensuring that the
changes are either all applied or not applied at all.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/instances/update")} title="Learn more about updating instances" />

In this case, let's assume we want to change the `name` of the customer from
`Box, Inc` to `Box`. We can apply two operations, firstly, we ensure the
value of the name is still `Box, Inc` before we change it, and secondly we make
the change.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X PUT https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345/metadata/enterprise/customerInfo \

          "path": "/name",
          "value": "Box"
        }
      ]'
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var updates = new List<BoxMetadataUpdate>()
  {
    new BoxMetadataUpdate()
    {
        Op = MetadataUpdateOp.test,

        Value = "Box, Inc"
    },
    new BoxMetadataUpdate()
    {
        Op = MetadataUpdateOp.replace,
        Path = "/name",
        Value = "Box"
    }
  };
  Dictionary<string, object> updatedMetadata = await client.MetadataManager
      .UpdateFileMetadataAsync("12345", updates, "enterprise", "customerInfo");
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  BoxFile file = new BoxFile(api, "12345");
  file.updateMetadata(
    file.createMetadata(
    "customerInfo",
    "enterprise",
    new Metadata().test("/name", "Box, Inc").replace("/name", "Box")
  );
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  file = client.file(file_id='12345')
  metadata = file.metadata(scope='enterprise', template='customerInfo')

  updates = metadata.start_update()
  updates.test('/name', 'Box, Inc')
  updates.replace('/name', 'Box')

  file.update(updates)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var updates = [
      { op: 'test', path: '/name', value: 'Box, Inc' },
      { op: 'replace', path: '/name', value: 'Box' }
  ];

  client.files.updateMetadata(
      '12345',
      client.metadata.scopes.ENTERPRISE,
      "customerInfo",
      updates
  ).then(metadata => {
      //...
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/instances/update")} title="Learn more about all operations" />

The API will return the updated metadata instance.

```json theme={null}

# Update a metadata template (quick start)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/quick-start/update-template



<ProgressBar />

Let's look at how we can update an existing metadata template.

Updates to metadata templates are performed through **operations** rather than
directly changing the template itself. This method allows you to update any
existing metadata instances that are already applied to files and folders.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/templates/update")} title="Learn more about updating templates" />

In this case, let's assume that we realized that having a `Name` field is a bit
ambiguous, and therefore, we want to change the `Name` field of the `customerInfo` template
to `Company Name` instead. By using the `editField` operation we can change the
`displayName` and the `key` of the field on the template and on every instance
of the template that might be applied to a file or folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X PUT https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_templates/enterprise/blueprintTemplate/schema \
      -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
      -H "content-type: application/json" \
      -d '[
        {
          "op": "editField",
          "fieldKey": "name",
          "data": {
            "key": "company_name",
            "displayName": "Company Name"
          }
        }
      ]'
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var updates = new List<BoxMetadataTemplateUpdate>()
  {
    new BoxMetadataTemplateUpdate()
    {
        Op = MetadataTemplateUpdateOp.editField,
        FieldKey = "name",
        Data = new {
            key = "company_name",
            displayName = "Company Name"
        }
    }
  };
  BoxMetadataTemplate updatedTemplate = await client.MetadataManager
      .UpdateMetadataTemplate(updates, "enterprise", "customerData");
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  List<MetadataTemplate.FieldOperation> updates = new ArrayList<MetadataTemplate.FieldOperation>();

  String editField = "{\"op\":\"editField\",\"fieldKey\":\"name\",\"data\":{\"key\":\"company_name\",\"displayName\":\"Company Name\"}}";
  updates.add(new MetadataTemplate.FieldOperation(editField));

  MetadataTemplate.updateMetadataTemplate(api, "enterprise", "customerData", updates);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  template = client.metadata_template('enterprise', 'customerData')
  updates = template.start_update()
  updates.edit_field('name', key='company_name', display_name="Company Name")
  template.update_info(updates)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  var operations = [
      {
          op: 'editField',
          fieldKey: 'name',
          data: {
              key: 'company_name',
              displayName: "Company Name"
          }
      }
  ];

  client.metadata.updateTemplate(
      'enterprise',
      'customerData',
      operations
  ).then(template => {
      //..
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The API will return the updated metadata template.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": "100ac693-a468-4b37-9535-05984b804dc2",
  "type": "metadata_template",
  "templateKey": "customerInfo",
  "scope": "enterprise_34567",
  "displayName": "Customer Info",
  "hidden": false,
  "copyInstanceOnItemCopy": false,
  "fields": [
    {
      "id": "5c6a5906-003b-4654-9deb-472583fc2930",
      "type": "string",
      "key": "company_name",
      "displayName": "Company Name",
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "id": "cf3eb5b8-52ef-456c-b175-44354a27e289",
      "type": "enum",
      "key": "industry",
      "displayName": "Industry",
      "options": [
        {"key": "Technology"},
        {"key": "Healthcare"},
        {"key": "Legal"}
      ],
      "hidden": false
    },
    {
      "id": "5c6a5906-4654-9deb-003b-472583fc2930",
      "type": "float",
      "key": "tav",
      "displayName": "Total account value",
      "hidden": false
    }
  ]
}
```

Updating the template through operations has the benefit that any instance of
the template is automatically updated as well. In this case, the instance we
created in previous steps would now look something like this.

```json theme={null}
{
  "company_name": "Box",
  "industry": "Technology",
  "tav": 1000000,
  "$id": "01234500-12f1-1234-aa12-b1d234cb567e",
  "$parent": "folder_12345,",
  "$scope": "enterprise_34567",
  "$template": "customerInfo",
  "$type": "customerInfo-6bcba49f-ca6d-4d2a-a758-57fe6edf44d0",
  "$typeVersion": 2,
  "$version": 1,
  "$canEdit": true
}
```

# Metadata template scopes
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/scopes



Metadata templates are grouped into two distinct groups, or **scopes**.

* **`global`**: a group of templates that is available to everyone using Box, regardless of the enterprise they are in. An example is the `global.properties` template that serves as a place to put free-form key/value `string` pairs without any additional schema associated with it.
* **`enterprise`** or **`enterprise_*`**: a group of templates defined by a user within an enterprise. These templates are either created by admin's in the web application, or by applications using the API. When accessing or creating templates within the authenticated user's enterprise a short-hand of `enterprise` can be used. When accessing templates that belong to another enterprise - for example when accessing metadata on files belonging to other enterprises - the scope `enterprise_*` is used where `*` is the ID of the enterprise the template belongs to.

<Warning>
  **Permissions**

  It is important to note that no metadata templates can be created within the
  `global` scope, and that metadata templates made within the user's enterprise
  can only be accessed by users with access to that enterprise.

# Create metadata taxonomy items
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/taxonomies/create



Metadata taxonomies can be created using the taxonomy’s `displayName` and `namespace`, with related items created using the `namespace` and `taxonomy_key`.

## Create a metadata taxonomy

Create a new taxonomy that can be referenced by metadata templates.

Call the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-taxonomies">`POST /metadata_taxonomies`</Link> API endpoint with the taxonomy’s `displayName` and `namespace`. Box will optionally generate a key if you didn't specify one.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --request POST \ 
  --url "https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_taxonomies" \ 
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ 
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
  --data '{ 
  "displayName": "DISPLAY_NAME", 
  "namespace": "{namespace}", 
  "key": "{taxonomy_key}" 
  }'
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.metadata_taxonomies.create_metadata_taxonomy(
      display_name, namespace, key=taxonomy_key
  )
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.metadataTaxonomies.createMetadataTaxonomy({
    displayName: displayName,
    key: taxonomyKey,
    namespace: namespace,
  } satisfies CreateMetadataTaxonomyRequestBody);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.metadataTaxonomies.createMetadataTaxonomy(requestBody: CreateMetadataTaxonomyRequestBody(displayName: displayName, key: taxonomyKey, namespace: namespace))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTaxonomies().createMetadataTaxonomy(new CreateMetadataTaxonomyRequestBody.Builder(displayName, namespace).key(taxonomyKey).build())
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.MetadataTaxonomies.CreateMetadataTaxonomyAsync(requestBody: new CreateMetadataTaxonomyRequestBody(displayName: displayName, namespaceParam: namespaceParam) { Key = taxonomyKey });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Create metadata taxonomy levels

Before you can add nodes, you must define the hierarchy of your taxonomy by creating one or more levels. Each level represents a hierarchical tier (for example, `Country`, `State`, `City`).

Call the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-taxonomies-id-id-levels">`POST /metadata_taxonomies/{namespace}/{taxonomy_key}/levels`</Link> API endpoint with the taxonomy’s `displayName`, `description`, and `level`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --request POST \ 
  --url "https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_taxonomies/{namespace}/{taxonomy_key}/levels" \ 
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ 
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
  --data '{ 
  "levels": [ 
  { 
  "displayName": "Continent", 
  "description": "Continent Level" 
  }, 
  { 
  "displayName": "Country", 
  "description": "Country Level" 
  } 
  ] 
  }' 
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.metadata_taxonomies.create_metadata_taxonomy_level(
      namespace,
      taxonomy_key,
      [
          MetadataTaxonomyLevel(display_name="Continent", description="Continent Level"),
          MetadataTaxonomyLevel(display_name="Country", description="Country Level"),

  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTaxonomies().createMetadataTaxonomyLevel(namespace, taxonomyKey, Arrays.asList(new MetadataTaxonomyLevel.Builder().displayName("Continent").description("Continent Level").build(), new MetadataTaxonomyLevel.Builder().displayName("Country").description("Country Level").build()))
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.MetadataTaxonomies.CreateMetadataTaxonomyLevelAsync(namespaceParam: namespaceParam, taxonomyKey: taxonomyKey, requestBody: Array.AsReadOnly(new [] {new MetadataTaxonomyLevel() { DisplayName = "Continent", Description = "Continent Level" },new MetadataTaxonomyLevel() { DisplayName = "Country", Description = "Country Level" }}));

## Add an additional level

After defining the initial levels, you can add another level to the end of the existing hierarchy (for example, adding “City” after “Country”).

Call the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-taxonomies-id-id-levels--append">`POST /metadata_taxonomies/{namespace}/{taxonomy_key}/levels:append`</Link> API endpoint with the taxonomy’s `displayName` and `description`.

<CodeGroup>

  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTaxonomies().addMetadataTaxonomyLevel(namespace, taxonomyKey, new AddMetadataTaxonomyLevelRequestBody.Builder("Region").description("Region Description").build())
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}

# Metadata taxonomies overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/taxonomies/index



A metadata taxonomy enables Box admins to define metadata hierarchies, as well as:

* Add multi-level metadata to a file or folder

* Define terms that form available taxonomy options

* Reuse a taxonomy in multiple metadata templates

Taxonomies can help admins organize and manage their company's metadata structures. An example of a 5-level taxonomy could include the categories of Region, Country, State, County, and City.

A taxonomy can have a depth of up to 10 levels.


# List metadata taxonomies

## Remove a metadata taxonomy node

Deletes a specific node within a taxonomy. If the node has child nodes, you must delete those children first before you can remove the parent node. This endpoint does not cascade; it only deletes individual nodes that have no children under them.

Call the <Link href="/reference/delete-metadata-taxonomies-id-id-nodes-id">`DELETE /metadata_taxonomies/{namespace}/{taxonomy_key}/nodes/{node_id}`</Link> API endpoint.

## Template Fields

The `fields` attribute represents the set of individual fields that a user can
fill in on a template. For example, a `customer` template might have a `name`
field of type `string`.

Template fields can be of `string`, `enum`, `float`, `date`, `enum` or
`multiSelect` type. Each field requires at least a `type`, `displayName` and `key`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "scope": "enterprise",
  "displayName": "Customer",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "string",
      "key": "name",
      "displayName": "Name"
    }
  ]
}
```

The `enum` and `multiSelect` field types represent a dropdown list where a user
can select respectively one or many options from a list of items.

```json theme={null}
{
  "scope": "enterprise",
  "displayName": "Customer",
  "fields": [
    {
      "type": "enum",
      "key": "industry",
      "displayName": "Industry",
      "options": [
        {"key": "Technology"},
        {"key": "Healthcare"},
        {"key": "Legal"}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/fields")} title="Learn more about Metadata Template Fields" />

## Template Keys

When a metadata template is created, a `templateKey` is automatically generated
from the `displayName` of the template unless a `templateKey` is explicitly
provided. When creating the template key, any spaces and irregular
characters in the name are removed, and the string is transformed to camel case.

For example, a metadata template that is named
`Test Name (with-special_) Characters` will have a `templateKey` of
`testNameWithspecialCharacters`.

This template key is then used when making any API requests to get the
template's information or assign it to an item.

# Delete a metadata template
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/templates/delete



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Deleting a metadata template can be achieved by calling the <Link href="/reference/delete-metadata-templates-id-id-schema">`DELETE
/metadata_templates/enterprise/:templateKey/schema`</Link> API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_templates/enterprise/blueprintTemplate/schema" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.metadataTemplates.deleteMetadataTemplate(
    'enterprise' as DeleteMetadataTemplateScope,
    template.templateKey!,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.metadata_templates.delete_metadata_template(
      DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.ENTERPRISE, template.template_key
  )
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.MetadataTemplates.DeleteMetadataTemplateAsync(scope: DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.Enterprise, templateKey: NullableUtils.Unwrap(template.TemplateKey));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.metadataTemplates.deleteMetadataTemplate(scope: DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.enterprise, templateKey: template.templateKey!)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getMetadataTemplates().deleteMetadataTemplate(DeleteMetadataTemplateScope.ENTERPRISE, template.getTemplateKey())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  MetadataTemplate.deleteMetadataTemplate(api, "enterprise", "templateName");
  ```

  ```py Python v4 theme={null}
  client.metadata_template('enterprise', 'employeeRecord').delete()
  ```

  ```js Node v4 theme={null}
  client.metadata.deleteTemplate('enterprise', 'testtemplate', callback);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This API returns a `204 No Content` API response with no response body when
the template has been successfully deleted. This API also removes all the
template instances from any files and folders.

Only templates created within the `enterprise` scope can be deleted.

<Warning>
  **Admin permissions required**

  Deleting metadata templates is restricted to users with admin permission. This
  means that only admins, or co-admins who have been granted rights to **Create

# Metadata templates overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/metadata/templates/index



A metadata template describes a set of key/value
pairs that can be assigned to a file or folder.

For example, an `invoiceData` template might hold data about an invoice, having
a field for the invoice ID as well as the customer ID.

A file or folder can have multiple distinct template <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances">instances</Link>
associated with it, such as a `marketingCollateral` instance and a
`retentionPolicy` instance.

## Metadata scopes

Metadata templates are grouped into two distinct groups, or **scopes**.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata/scopes")} title="Learn more about Metadata Scopes" />

## Permissions and restrictions

There is a limit of 500 templates per enterprise.

Creating metadata templates is restricted to users with admin permission. This
means that only admins, or co-admins who have been granted rights to **Create
and edit metadata templates for your company** by the admin can use the web
app or the API to manage templates.

  **Admin permissions required**

  Updating metadata templates is restricted to users with admin permission. This
  means that only admins, or co-admins who have been granted rights to **Create
  and edit metadata templates for your company** by the admin can use the web
  app or the API to manage templates.
</Warning>

## Operations

Updates to metadata templates are performed through **operations** rather than
directly changing the template itself. This method allows us to update any
existing metadata instances that are already applied to files and folders.

## Template operations

Template operations update a template's details or fields. These operations are
generally safe as they are applied to any template instance without much impact.

### Edit a template

The operation `editTemplate` allows for editing any of the base properties of
the template, like the `displayName`, `copyInstanceOnItemCopy` and more.

| Parameter |                                                 |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `data`    | An object representing the properties to change |

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "editTemplate",
    "data": {
      "displayName": "Client",
      "copyInstanceOnItemCopy": true
    }
  }
]
```

This will update the template to have a new display name of Client.

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Add a field to a template

The operation `addField` adds a field to a template.

| Parameter |                                     |
| --------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `data`    | An object representing field to add |

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "op": "addField",
    "data": {
      "displayName": "Category",
      "key": "category",
      "hidden": false,
      "type": "string"
    }
  }
]
```

This will add a new non-hidden string field with a `displayName` and `key` of
**category**.

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Reorder fields

The operation `reorderFields` reorders the list of fields in a template to match
the requested field list.

| Parameter   |                                                   |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `fieldKeys` | The new list of field keys in the requested order |

```json theme={null}
{
  "op": "reorderFields",
  "fieldKeys": ["field2", "field1", "field3"]
}
```

This will reorder the fields for the template to have `field2` first, followed
by `field1`, then `field3`.

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template. It will reorder the
  fields, yet keep the values of the fields intact.
</Warning>

## Field operations

Field operations transform the schema of a template. The following is a list of
operations that can be used in this API and can potentially change the data of
any previously assigned templates.

These changes will be logged as template changes but not as file changes.

### Edit a field

The operation `editField` edits any number of the base properties of a
field like the `displayName`, `description`, `key`, and `hidden` state.

| Parameter  |                                                                |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `data`     | An object representing the new properties to set for the field |
| `fieldKey` | The key of the field to be edited                              |

```json theme={null}
{
  "op": "editField",
  "fieldKey": "category",
  "data": {
    "displayName": "Customer Group"
  }
}
```

This will update the field `category` to have a new display name of
**Customer Group**. If the key is changed, existing values of the specified
field are migrated to the new key. The search index will be updated, yet it may
take time depending on how many files are affected by the change.

<Warning>
  This may affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

### Remove a field

The operation `removeField` removes a field from a template.

| Parameter  |                                                  |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `fieldKey` | The key of the field to remove from the template |

```json theme={null}
{
  "op": "removeField",
  "fieldKey": "brand"
}
```

This will remove the field `brand` from the template as well as all instances of
the template. The search index will be updated, yet it may take time depending on
how many files are affected by the change.

<Warning>
  This will affect existing instances of this template.
</Warning>

## Field Option Operations

Both the <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/enum">`enum`</Link> and
<Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select">`multiSelect`</Link> metadata field types support
some additional operations to change the options of the fields.

| Operation                                                                                            |                                                |

| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/enum#add-an-option">`addEnumOption`</Link>                       | Adds an option to an `enum` field              |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/enum#edit-an-option">`editEnumOption`</Link>                     | Edits an `enum` field option                   |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/enum#reorder-options">`reorderEnumOptions`</Link>                | Re-orders the options on an `enum` field       |

| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select#add-an-option">`addMultiSelectOption`</Link>        | Adds an option to a `multiSelect` field        |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select#edit-an-option">`editMultiSelectOption`</Link>      | Edits a `multiSelect` field option             |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select#reorder-options">`reorderMultiSelectOptions`</Link> | Re-orders the options on a `multiSelect` field |
| <Link href="/guides/metadata/fields/multi-select#remove-an-option">`removeMultiSelectOption`</Link>  | Removes a `multiSelect` field option           |

# Box query
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/query/box-query



The Box Query API lets you search for and find objects in Box. You can filter and sort results using metadata templates and item fields, so you can build detailed queries.

It goes beyond basic file and folder search and supports more types of Box items.

To create a query, call the POST [https://api.box.com/2.0/query](https://api.box.com/2.0/query) endpoint with query details.

## Parameters

To make a call, you must pass the following parameters. Mandatory parameters are in **bold**.

| Parameter             | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      | Example                                                           |
| --------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`query.predicate`** | string  | A filter for your query, in SQL-like syntax. Use `:parameter` placeholders for values. See supported operators for [metadata template fields](https://cloud.box.com/s/bkcwr35hypy4so1gvdza5x2vv16) and <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries/item-fields">item properties</Link>. | `"amount >= :value"`                                              |
| `query.params`        | object  | Values for each `:placeholder` in the predicate. Each key matches the placeholder name without `:`. Value types must match the predicate fields.                                                                                                                                 | `{ "value": 100 }`                                                |
| `query.ancestors`     | array   | Limits results to items inside specific ancestors and their sub-items. Each object needs an `id` and `type` (such as `folder`). You need read access to every ancestor listed.                                                                                                   | `[{ "id": "123", "type": "folder" }]`                             |
| `query.order_by`      | array   | How to sort results. Each object needs `field_key` and `direction` (`asc` or `desc`). Add multiple objects to sort by more than one field.                                                                                                                                       | `[{ "field_key": "box:item:created_at", "direction": "desc" }]`   |
| `limit`               | integer | Maximum number of results to return. Default is 50. Must be between 0 and 100.                                                                                                                                                                                                   | `50`                                                              |
| `fields`              | array   | Extra fields to include in each result. By default, results include only item type and ID. Each value can be an item field key or a metadata template or field key.                                                                                                              | `["box:item:created_at", "enterprise_123:templateKey:someField"]` |
| `marker`              | string  | Token from a previous response to get the next page of results. Use only when continuing a previous request, and keep all other parameters the same.                                                                                                                             | `"AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6..."`                                         |

## Response fields

| Field             | Type           | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **`entries`**     | array          | The list of items that match the query. Each object contains a type and ID for a single item matching the predicate. If a `fields` parameter is specified in the request, then additional item and/or metadata fields are provided. |
| **`next_marker`** | string or null | A token that can be used to get the next page of results. If there are no more results, this value is null. Otherwise, the value can be provided as the `marker` parameter to a follow up request to retrieve additional entries.   |

<Note>
  Pagination uses markers, not snapshots. If you combine all pages, you may not get a complete
  list of matching items at one moment in time. New matches may appear after you start, and items from earlier pages can be missing from later pages if they are changed or deleted while you are fetching the results.
</Note>

# Query insights
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/query/insights



Query insights API lets you compute aggregated insights (sums, averages, counts, and more) over items that match a metadata-based query. The system applies the specified filters first, then performs aggregation based on the provided grouping criteria, if any.

To get insights, call the `POST https://api.box.com/2.0/query/insights` endpoint.

## Parameters

To make a call, you must pass the following parameters. The request body has two top-level fields: `query` and `metrics`. Mandatory parameters are in **bold**.

| Parameter                                                               | Type             | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       | Example                                     |

Returns items contained within any of the specified ancestors. The user must have access to all provided ancestors, otherwise the request is rejected. If empty or omitted, insights are computed across all accessible items (root context, 0). | `[{ "id": "123", "type": "folder" }]`       |

### Metric names

Each key in the `metrics` object is an alias defined by you for the metric.

**Naming convention**

* Must be a non-empty string
* Must be unique within the request
* Maximum length: 256 characters
* Allowed characters: letters (a–z, A–Z), digits (0–9), and special characters `_`, `-`, and `.`
* Must not start with a digit or special character
* Whitespace and other special characters are not allowed

**Behavior**

* If `group_by` is not specified, metrics are computed over the entire filtered dataset (ungrouped aggregation).
* If `metrics` is an empty object (), a default `totalResultCount` count metric is returned over the filtered dataset (see Total document count example).

### Insight entry types

| Type      | Description                                                                                                                                        |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `group`   | Metrics for a specific group defined by `group_by`. `key` contains one value per `group_by` field, for example \["Shoe"] for category = `"Shoe"`.  |
| `overall` | Metrics calculated across the entire dataset (no grouping). `key` is always an empty array `[]`.                                                   |
| `other`   | Aggregated count for results outside the top returned groups. An empty array `[]` represents all remaining groups not included in the top results. |

## Bucket ordering

For requests with `group_by`, bucket ordering is implicit and always descending by item count (the number of documents in each bucket). The largest buckets are returned first. This ordering cannot be customized.

For the **Enum** and **Taxonomy** fields, deleted options can temporarily appear in top groups while the deletion job is in progress. Such groups have their keys shown as `[DELETED]`.

## Error codes

The list below is not exhaustive, additional error codes and details can be introduced as the API evolves.

# Enterprise-wide search
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/enterprise



By default, a search is only performed against the content that the
authenticated user has access to. In some cases, administrators might want to
search against all content owned by all users. For this use-case the `scope`
query parameter can be set to a value of `enterprise_content`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&scope=enterprise_content" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");
  searchParams.setScope("enterprise_content");

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", mdFilters: filters, scope: "enterprise_content");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", metadata_filters=metadata_search_filters, scope="enterprise_content")
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          scope: "enterprise_content"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  The `enterprise_content` scope can be requested by an admin through our
  <Link href="/support">support channels</Link>. Once this scope has been enabled for a user, it
  will allow that user to query for content across the entire enterprise and not
  only the content that they have access to.
</Warning>


# Requesting extra fields
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/fields



By default, the search API returns the **standard** format of a
<Link href="/reference/resources/file">File</Link>, <Link href="/reference/resources/folder">Folder</Link>, or <Link href="/reference/resources/web-link">Web Link</Link>. Each of
these resources supports additional fields that can be requested through the
`fields` query parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&fields=name,tags" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  final List<String> fields = new ArrayList<String>();
  fields.add("name");
  fields.add("tags");
  searchParams.setFields(fields)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  IEnumerable<string> fields = new List<string>() { "name", "tags"};
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", fields: fields);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", metadata_filters=metadata_search_filters, fields=["name", "tags"])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          fields: "name,tags"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  For more details on these fields, please check out the
  <Link href="/reference/resources/file--full">full File</Link>, <Link href="/reference/resources/folder--full">full Folder</Link>,
  and <Link href="/reference/resources/web-link">full Web Link</Link> resources.
</Info>

<Warning>
  When the `fields` parameter is used to query additional information about the
  items, only those fields and a few **base** fields (`id`, `type`, `name`, etc)
  are returned. Any fields that were originally in the response would now have to
  be requested explicitly.
</Warning>


# Filter search results
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/filtering



The <Link href="/reference/get-search">`GET /search`</Link> API supports a variety of
different ways to filter the results returned by the API.

## Filter by content type

By default, a search returns items for which either the name, description, file
content, tags, or comments match the query provided. By setting the
`content_types` parameter the search can be narrowed down to only the items that
match the query for the content type defined.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&content_types=name,tags" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  final List<String> contentTypes = new ArrayList<String>();
  contentTypes.add("name");
  contentTypes.add("tags");
  searchParams.setContentTypes(contentTypes)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var contentTypes = new List<string>();
  contentTypes.Add("name");
  contentTypes.Add("tags");

  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", contentTypes: contentTypes);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", content_types=["name", "tags"])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          content_types:  [
              "name",
              "tags"
          ]
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Content type   |                                                                       |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `name`         | The name of the item, as defined by its `name` field.                 |
| `description`  | The description of the item, as defined by its `description` field.   |
| `file_content` | The actual content of the file.                                       |
| `comments`     | The content of any of the comments on a file or folder.               |
| `tags`         | Any tags that are applied to an item, as defined by its `tags` field. |

## Filter by date

By default, search returns files created at any time, and updated at any time.
It is possible to filter results by both the date the file or folder was
last updated or when it was created.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&created_at_range=2014-05-15T13:35:01Z,2015-05-15T13:35:01&updated_at_range=2014-05-15T13:35:01," \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  String createdFromDateString = "2014-05-15T13:35:01Z";
  String createdToDateString = "2015-05-15T13:35:01Z";
  Date createdFromDate = sdf.parse(createdFromDateString);
  Date createdToDate = sdf.parse(createdToDateString);
  DateRange createdRange = new DateRange(createdFromDate, createdToDate);
  searchParams.setCreatedRange(createdRange)

  String updatedFromDateString = "2014-05-15T13:35:01Z";
  Date updatedFromDate = sdf.parse(updatedFromDateString);
  DateRange updatedRange = new DateRange(updatedFromDate, null);
  searchParams.setUpdatedRange(updatedRange)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var createdAtRangeFromDate = new DateTime(1988, 11, 18, 9, 30, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
  var createdAtRangeToDate = new DateTime(2018, 11, 18, 9, 30, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);
  var updatedAtRangeFromDate = new DateTime(1988, 11, 18, 9, 30, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", contentTypes: contentTypes, createdAtRangeFromDate: createdAtRangeFromDate, createdAtRangeToDate: createdAtRangeToDate, updatedAtRangeFromDate: updatedAtRangeFromDate);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", created_at_range=["2014-05-15T13:35:01Z", "2015-05-15T13:35:01Z"], updated_at_range=["2014-05-15T13:35:01Z", null])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          created_at_range: "2014-05-15T13:35:01Z,2015-05-15T13:35:01Z",
          updated_at_range: "2014-05-15T13:35:01Z,"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

| Query parameter    |                                                                                                                                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `created_at_range` | Defines a range of `created_at` dates for which to return results. The upper or lower bound can be left empty to create an open-ended range. |
| `updated_at_range` | Defines a range of `updated_at` dates for which to return results. The upper or lower bound can be left empty to create an open-ended range. |

## Filter by file extension

By default, a search returns items with any kind of file extension. It is
possible to filter search results to only files with one or more specific file
extensions using the `file_extensions` query parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&file_extensions=pdf,txt" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  final List<String> fileExtensions = new ArrayList<String>();
  fileExtensions.add("pdf");
  fileExtensions.add("txt");
  searchParams.setFileExtensions(fileExtensions)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var fileExtensions = new List<string>();
  fileExtensions.Add("pdf");
  fileExtensions.Add("txt");

  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", fileExtensions: fileExtensions);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", file_extensions=["pdf", "txt"])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          file_extensions:  [
              "pdf",
              "txt"
          ]
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Filter by file size

By default, a search returns items of any file size. It is
possible to filter search results to only files within a specific file
size using the `size_range` query parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&size_range=10000,20000" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  SizeRange sizeRange = new SizeRange(10000, 20000);
  searchParams.setSizeRange(sizeRange);

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", sizeRangeLowerBoundBytes: 10000, sizeRangeUpperBoundBytes: 20000);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", size_range=[10000,20000])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          size_range: '10000,20000'
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Filter by file type

By default, a search returns both files, folders, and web links. To narrow down
the results to only one of these, a `type` query parameter can be set to either
`file`, `folder` or `web_link`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&type=file" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");
  searchParams.setType("file");

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", type: "file");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", type="file")
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          type: "file"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Filter by metadata

It is possible to filter search results by their associated metadata, or even
perform entire searches based on only the metadata, all using the `mdfilters`
query parameter.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/search/quick-start")} title="Learn more about metadata filters" />

## Filter by owner

By default, a search returns all the items the authenticated user has access to,
regardless of who owns the items. To narrow down to only items owned by specific
users, use the `owner_user_ids` query parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&owner_user_ids=34446362,462281242" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  final List<String> userIds = new ArrayList<String>();
  userIds.add("34446362");
  userIds.add("462281242");
  searchParams.setOwnerUserIds(userIds)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var userIds = new List<string>();
  userIds.Add("34446362");
  userIds.Add("462281242");

  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", ownerUserIds: userIds);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", owner_user_ids=["34446362", "462281242"])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          owner_user_ids: "34446362,462281242"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Filter by parent folder

By default, a search returns all the items in any folder the user has access
to. To narrow down the results to only items in specific folders, use the
`ancestor_folder_ids` query parameter.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&ancestor_folder_ids=45235463,73445321" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  final List<String> folderIds = new ArrayList<String>();
  folderIds.add("45235463");
  folderIds.add("73445321");
  searchParams.setAncestorFolderIds(folderIds)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var folderIds = new List<string>();
  folderIds.Add("45235463");
  folderIds.Add("73445321");

  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", ancestorFolderIds: folderIds);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", ancestor_folder_ids=["45235463", "73445321"])
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          ancestor_folder_ids: "45235463,73445321"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...

## Query operators

The search API supports a few different
<Link href="/guides/search/query-operators">search operators</Link>, including
`AND`, `OR`, `NOT` and `""`. These operators can be used to refine the search
results to only return items that match a more complicated combination of
search terms.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=box%20AND%20sales" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/search/query-operators")} title="Learn more about using logical operators" />

## Search indexing

Box keeps a search index for any files or folder stored in Box.
Every time a file or folder is changed, those words are added to
the index. When a search is performed, the API looks in the search
index for files and folders that match the query. When content is added,
updated, or deleted in Box, the search index is updated accordingly.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/search/indexing")} title="Learn more about the Box search index" />

<Info>
  In some cases an index might not be updated even after a few seconds.
  In those cases we recommend reaching out to [Box Support][support]
  to get the issue resolved.
</Info>

<Warning>
  If your enterprise has full text search turned off
  (e.g. [Keysafe][keysafe] customers), characters within a document
  cannot be searched. If you need to find out if full
  text search is turned off, reach out to your account team.
</Warning>

## Comparison to Metadata Queries

At the surface the search API seems very similar
to the <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">Metadata Query API</Link>, but there are several important differences
in how they operate. At a high level the Metadata Queries are
optimized for exactness and throughput, while regular search is optimized
for relevance to a human user.

# Search indexing
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/indexing



Box keeps a search index for any files or folders stored in Box.
Every time a file or folder is changed, those words are added to the index.
When a search is performed, the API looks in the search index for files and
folders that match the query. When content is added, updated, or deleted in
Box, the search index is updated accordingly.

## Search Availability

It can take time between uploading or modifying a
file for it to be fully indexed and ready to be searched. In most cases,
newly added or changed files can be expected to be available via Box search
in seconds. The current service load determines the index time and it may
take more than a few seconds in some cases.

<Info>
  In some cases an index might not be updated even after a few seconds.
  In those cases we recommend reaching out to [Box Support][support]
  to get the issue resolved.
</Info>

## Search Access

Only content that the authenticated user has access to
(items they can preview and/or view) will be returned in the search results.

In other words, a user needs to either own an item or be a collaborated in on an
item for it to show up in the search results. If a user doesn't have access to
an item, or if they have been shared the item via a shared link, then the item
will also not appear in the search results.

One exception is that items that have been recently accessed via a shared link
can be requested in the search results by setting the
`include_recent_shared_links` query parameter to `true`.

## Prefix Matching and Wildcard Search

Trailing wildcards (also known as
prefix matching) are implicitly included in search results because of the way
text is indexed. Searching for `Bo` results in items with titles containing
`Box` or `Boat` or `Boxer`. It is the equivalent of searching for `Bo*` or
`Bo%` in traditional search engines. Traditional wildcard notation is not
supported by Box, such as `%ox%`. While we support prefix matching on titles,
we do not support prefix matching on body content, suffix matching in the
title or body content, or infix (middle of the word) matching in the title or
body content. For example, a search on `cal` would match results for a **file
named** `California` but not `decal` or `recall`. It would not match results
with **file body contents** of prefixes, infixes, or suffixes including
`California`, `recall`, or `decal`.

## Stemming

Box Search uses stemming to match terms from the query to terms
in the index. Because of this, words that include the same stem may be
included in the result set, even if the words do not contain the exact form
in the query. For example, `run` and `running` map to the same stem, so a
search on `running` may return a document containing `run` in the title.

## File Content Searching

The content within files is also stored
within the Box search index. The following file types allow searching for
their content:

|           |          |              |          |        |
| --------- | -------- | ------------ | -------- | ------ |
| `boxnote` | `csv`    | `doc`        | `docx`   | `gdoc` |
| `gsheet`  | `gslide` | `gslides`    | `htm`    | `html` |
| `msg`     | `odp`    | `odt`        | `ods`    | `pdf`  |
| `ppt`     | `pptx`   | `rtf`        | `tsv`    | `wpd`  |
| `xhtml`   | `xls`    | `xlsm`       | `xlsx`   | `xml`  |
| `xsd`     | `xsl`    | `as`         | `as3`    | `asm`  |
| `bat`     | `c`      | `cc`         | `cmake`  | `cpp`  |
| `cs`      | `css`    | `cxx`        | `diff`   | `erb`  |
| `groovy`  | `h`      | `haml`       | `hh`     | `java` |
| `js`      | `json`   | `less`       | `log`    | `m`    |
| `make`    | `md`     | `ml`         | `mm`     | `php`  |
| `pl`      | `plist`  | `properties` | `py`     | `rb`   |
| `rst`     | `sass`   | `scala`      | `script` | `scm`  |
| `sml`     | `sql`    | `sh`         | `txt`    | `vi`   |
| `vim`     | `webdoc` | `yaml`       |          |        |

## Indexed Text per Document

The Box search index stores up to 10,000 bytes
(\~10,000 characters in English) per document for accounts from Business level
and above. This amount can vary from document to document because of
language, Box’s indexing method, and document type.

<Warning>
  If your enterprise has full text search turned off
  (e.g. [Keysafe][keysafe] customers), characters within a document
  cannot be searched. If you need to find out if full
  text search is turned off, reach out to your account team.
</Warning>

## OCR Support

Box does not currently perform OCR on its documents.

## Document Versions

Search only indexes content from the current version
of a document, so that you do not have to sift through hundreds of irrelevant
search results of outdated documents. You cannot use search to query
non-current versions of a document.

## Language Support

Box search supports the following languages: Chinese,
English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish. Box does not support
indexing of multiple languages within a single document.

## Trash

Searching the trash is available via the API by using the
`trash_content` query parameter.

# Metadata Query Filters
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/metadata-filters



The <Link href="/reference/get-search">`GET /search`</Link> API allows for filtering search results by their
associated metadata. A `mdfilters` query parameter allows a developer to specify
a metadata template and the desired values to query.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&mdfilters=%5B%7B%22scope%22%3A%22enterprise%22%2C%22templateKey%22%3A%22contract%22%2C%22filters%22%3A%7B%22category%22%3A%22online%22%7D%7D%5D" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  BoxMetadataFilter bmf = new BoxMetadataFilter();
  bmf.setScope("enterprise");
  bmf.setTemplateKey("contract");
  bmf.setFilter("category", "online")
  searchParams.setMetadataFilter(bmf)

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var filter = new
  {
      category = "online"
  };

  var filters = new List<BoxMetadataFilterRequest>()
  {
      new BoxMetadataFilterRequest()
      {
          Scope = "enterprise",
          TemplateKey = "contract",
          Filters: filter
      }
  };
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", mdFilters: filters);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  from boxsdk.object.search import MetadataSearchFilter, MetadataSearchFilters

  metadata_search_filter = MetadataSearchFilter(scope='enterprise', template_key='contract')
  metadata_search_filter.add_value_based_filter(field_key='category', value='online')
  metadata_search_filters = MetadataSearchFilters()
  metadata_search_filters.add_filter(metadata_search_filter)

  client.search().query("sales", metadata_filters=metadata_search_filters)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          mdfilters: [
              {
                  scope: 'enterprise',
                  templateKey: 'contract',
                  filters: {
                      category: 'online'
                  }
              }
          ]
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  This example filters a search for any content that matches the query `sales`
  by any item that has `enterprise.contract` metadata attached to it and where
  the `category` field is set to `online`.
</Info>

## Introduction to Metadata

Metadata allows users and applications to define and store custom data
associated with files and folders.

<Frame>
  <img alt="String field" />
</Frame>

Metadata consists of key/value pairs that are assigned to a file or a folder.
For example, an important contract may have the key/value pairs of
`clientNumber: 820183` and `category: online`.

The `mdfilters` query parameter allows developers to find files and folders that
have a specific piece of metadata attached to them.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/metadata")} title="Learn more about metadata templates and instances" />

## Metadata Filter Syntax

The `mdfilters` parameter can currently only contain one filter, although this
may be expanded in the future.

Each filter defines the `scope` and `templateKey` of the metadata template to
filter on.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {}
  }
]
```

<Info>
  To get the `scope` and `templateKey` for a template, either
  <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/list">list all metadata templates</Link> for an enterprise, or
  <Link href="/guides/metadata/instances/list">list all metadata instances on an item</Link>.
</Info>

With the template defined, the `filters` field accepts a few different filter
formats. The format of the filter very much depends on the type of field being
filtered by.

### Filter by `string` field

To filter by a field of type `string` a filter will need to define the `key` of
the field and the desired value to find items for.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {
      "category": "online"
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  This example will find all files and folders that have an instance of the
  `enterprise.contract` template applied to it, and for which the field with the
  key `category` is set to the value `online`.
</Info>

### Filter by `float` field

To filter by a field of type `float`, you will need to define define a range by
specifying a `gt` (greater-than) and/or `lt` (lower-than) value. To find an
exact value, you can input the same value for both `gt` and `lt`.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {
      "amount": {
        "gt": 10000,
        "lt": 20000
      }
    }
  }
]
```

This example will find all files and folders that have an instance of the
`enterprise.contract` template applied to it, and for which the field with the
key `amount` is set to a value equal or higher than `10000` and equal or lower
than `2000`. Note that `gt` and `lt` are inclusive and do not need to
both be set.

<Info>
  If you create a query based on numbers, do not
  exceed the range of -16777215 and +16777215.
  For metadata search using number attributes
  the index value is stored as FLOAT32. As a result,
  integers between -16777215 and +16777215 can be precisely represented.
  Any operation with numbers beyond the range can lose its precision.
</Info>

### Filter by `date` field

To filter by a field of type `date` a filter will need to define the `key` of
the field and the desired range to find items by specifying a `gt`
(greater-than) and `lt` (lower-than) value. Please note that `gt` and `lt` are
inclusive.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {
      "expirationDate": {
        "gt": "2016-08-01T00:00:00Z",
        "lt": "2017-08-01T00:00:00Z"
      }
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  This example will find all files and folders that have an instance of the
  `enterprise.contract` template applied and have an `expirationDate` set to
  a date after or exactly `2016-08-01T00:00:00Z`
  and before or exactly `2017-08-01T00:00:00Z`.
</Info>

### Filter by `enum` field

To filter by a field of type `enum` a filter will need to define the `key` of
the field and the desired value to find items for.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {
      "category": "online"
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  This example will find all files and folders that have an instance of the
  `enterprise.contract` template applied to it, and for which the field with the
  key `category` is set to the value `online`.
</Info>

### Filter by `multiSelect` field

To filter by a field of type `multiSelect` a filter will need to define the
`key` of the field and any of the potential desired values to find items for.
When performing a search, the query will essentially perform an `OR` operation
to match any template where any of the provided values match this field.

```json theme={null}
[
  {
    "scope": "enterprise",
    "templateKey": "contract",
    "filters": {
      "category": [
        "online",
        "enterprise"
      ]
    }
  }
]
```

<Info>
  This example will find all files and folders that have an instance of the
  `enterprise.contract` template applied to it, and for which the field with the
  key `category` is set to the value `online` or `enterprise`.

# Search result pagination
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/pagination



The search API supports offset-based pagination using the `offset` and `limit`
query parameters. Marker-based pagination is not supported.

## API Pagination

To fetch the first page of search results, the API needs to be called
either without the `offset` parameter, or with the `offset` set to `0`. The
`limit` field is optional.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&offset=0&limit=100 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

To fetch the next page of entries the API needs to be called with
an `offset` parameter that's equals the sum of the previous `offset` value and
limit returned in the previous result, `previous_offset + previous_limit`.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&offset=100&limit=100 \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

<Note>
  Note that the `offset` should be increased by the previous `limit` and not by
  the size of the entries in the response array, as this may be less than the
  limit. Generally we advise using the value of the `limit` in the response
  object to increase the `offset` value.
</Note>

The final page of items has been requested when the next `offset` value exceeds
the `total_count` value in the response object. At this point there are no more
items to fetch.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/api-calls/pagination/offset-based")} title="Learn more about offset-based pagination" />

## SDK Pagination

Each of our SDKs has built-in support for API pagination. The following code
samples show how to use pagination in the search API.

<CodeGroup>
  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 50;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> page1 = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);

  offsetValue += 50;
  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> page2 = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> page1 = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", limit: 50);
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> page2 = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", limit: 50, offset: 50);
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  page1 = client.search().query(query='sales', limit=50)
  page2 = client.search().query(query='sales', limit=50, offset=50)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  const page1 = await client.search.query('sales', {
      limit: 50
  })
  const page2 = await client.search.query('sales'. {
      limit: 50,
      offset: 50
  })
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Query operators
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/query-operators



The <Link href="/reference/get-search">`GET /search`</Link> API supports a variety of
different query operators to help refining the results returned
by the API.

All of these operations are passed into the `query` parameter when
creating the search.

## Exact matches with `""`

By wrapping a query in double quotes (`""`) only exact matches are
returned by the API. Exact searches do not return search matches
based on specific character sequences. Instead, they return
matches based on phrases, that is, word sequences.

For example, a search for `"Blue-Box"` may return search results
including the sequence `"blue.box"`, `"Blue Box"`, and `"Blue-Box"`;
any item containing the words `Blue` and `Box` consecutively, in
the order specified.

## Matching multiple terms with `AND`

When the `AND` operator is used, the search returns items that
contain both the search terms on the left and right of the operator.

For example, a search for `marketing AND BoxWorks` returns items
that have both `marketing` and `BoxWorks` within its text in any order.
It does not return a result that only has `BoxWorks` in its text.

## Matching either search term with `OR`

When the `OR` operator is used, the search returns items that
contain either the search terms on the left or right of the operator.

For example, a search for `marketing OR BoxWorks` returns a result that
has either `marketing` or `BoxWorks` within its text. Using this
operator is not necessary as we implicitly interpret multi-word
queries as `OR` unless another supported boolean term is used.

## Excluding search terms with `NOT`

When the `NOT` operator is used, the search returns items that
do not contain the term that follows the operator.

For example, a search for `marketing AND NOT BoxWorks` returns a result
that has only `marketing` within its text. Results containing
`BoxWorks` are omitted.

<Warning>
  Please note that we do not support lower case (that is,
  `and`, `or`, and `not`) or mixed case (that is, `And`, `Or`, and `Not`)
  operators.
</Warning>

# Add Metadata Template to a File
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/quick-start/apply-template-to-file



<ProgressBar />

Your metadata template needs to be applied to at least one file to ensure
a result in step 4. There are two ways to do add a metadata template to a file:
via the UI or via the API.

## UI

To apply metadata to a file using the UI, navigate to a file and open the
preview. Use the **Metadata** tab and click **Add**. Find the metadata template
created in step 1 and select a value. Ensure you click **Save**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Select a Metadata Template" />

  <img alt="Select a Value" />
</Frame>

## API

To add a metadata template to a file you will need to use the
<Link href="/reference/post-files-id-metadata-id-id/">create metadata instance on a file endpoint</Link>. You will also
need the `scope` and `templateKey` template values from the previous step.
Below is an example of what the API call looks like to apply the same metadata
shown in the UI above.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Select a Metadata Template" />
</Frame>

<Next>I applied my template to at least one file</Next>


# Create a Metadata Template
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/quick-start/create-metadata-template



<ProgressBar />

There are two ways to create a new metadata template: via the Admin Console or
via the API using an Admin Access Token. If you already have a metadata template
created that you would like to use you can skip to the next step.

## Admin Console

To create a template via the Admin Console, navigate to:

**Admin Console** > **Content** Tab > **Metadata** > **Create New**

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create Metadata Template" />
</Frame>

<Warning>
  The metadata feature is reserved for Business Plus accounts and above. To
  upgrade your account, please contact your Box account team.
</Warning>

Once you select **Create New**, you are brought to a form used to create a new
template, which is shown below. Select a **Dropdown-Single Select** format.

<Warning>
  Selecting a Dropdown-Multi Select format will change the structure of you query
  later on in this quick-start.
</Warning>

<Frame>
  <img alt="Metadata Template Form" />
</Frame>

## API

Creating a metadata template via the API requires an <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Token</Link>
associated with a Box Admin or Co-Admin with permission to
**create and edit metadata templates for your company**. If you are not sure
who your token is associated with, make an API call to the
<Link href="/reference/get-users-me">get current user endpoint</Link>. The easiest way to obtain a token
meeting these requirements is to log in as an Admin or Co-Admin, pull up the
application in the [Developer Console][dc], and click
**Generate Developer Token** under the **Configuration** tab.
<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">Developer tokens</Link> are always be associated with the user logged into the
Developer Console when the button is clicked.

Using [Postman][postman] and the <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman">Box Postman Collection</Link>, below is
an example of what an API call looks like to create the same metadata template
created above using the Admin Console.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create Template API Call" />
</Frame>

<Tip>
  If you would like to use a different template format than a Dropdown-Single
  Select, you will need to consult our reference documentation, as the body of the
  API call will differ from the example above.
</Tip>

The response to this API call provides crucial information you will need later.
If you created your template via the UI, you will learn how to obtain this
information in the next step.

# Search content using metadata
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/quick-start/index



The Box Metadata Query API enables programmatic search of Box content based
strictly on applied custom metadata values.

The structure of a metadata query is similar to that of a SQL query and allows
for Boolean operators, such as AND, OR, and NOT, as well as comparison or range
operators, such as equal to, greater-than, and less-than.

Some benefits of the Metadata Query API include:

* no indexing delay; query immediately after metadata creations, updates, and deletions
* ability to specify a sort order by one or more fields
* no limitation on the number of characters that are queryable
* queries return item properties and metadata instances

## Overview

This guide will take you through the following steps.

1. <Link href="/guides/search/quick-start/create-metadata-template">Create a metadata template</Link>
2. <Link href="/guides/search/quick-start/locate-template-info">Locate information about the metadata template</Link> via API
3. <Link href="/guides/search/quick-start/apply-template-to-file">Apply the metadata template</Link> to at least one file
4. <Link href="/guides/search/quick-start/metadata-query-api">Construct a metadata query API call</Link> to obtain the content from step 3


# Locate Information about a Metadata Template
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/quick-start/locate-template-info



<ProgressBar />

<Warning>
  If you created your metadata template using the API and have the successful
  response on hand, you can skip this step.
</Warning>

If you created your metadata template via the Admin Console, you will need
obtain an <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Token</Link> for an Admin or Co-Admin with permission to
**Create and edit metadata templates for your company**. As mentioned in
step 1, the easiest way to obtain a token meeting these requirements is to log
in as an Admin or Co-Admin, pull up the application in the
[Developer Console][dc], and click **Generate Developer Token** under the
**Configuration** tab.

Use this token to make an API call to the
<Link href="/reference/get-metadata-templates-enterprise/">list all metadata templates for enterprise endpoint</Link>, as shown
below. You should be able to find information about your template in the
response. Specifically, note the `scope` and `templateKey`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="List All Templates" />

# Use the Metadata Query API
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/quick-start/metadata-query-api



<ProgressBar />

Finally, build a <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read/">metadata query API call</Link>. Here is an example of what the
body of the API call looks like:

```json theme={null}
{
  "from": "enterprise_22201764.contact_role",
  "query": "departments = :departments",
  "query_params": {"departments": "legal"},
  "ancestor_folder_id": "0",
  "fields": ["id"]
}
```

This API call will return any file ID that meets the following criteria: 

* Has the Contact Role template applied
* Has a value of departments is legal
* Is located anywhere under the root folder, since "0" is the `ancestor_folder_id`

As you can see below, this results in a successful call showing information
about the file we added the template to in step 2.

# Finding recent shared links
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/shared-links



By default, the search API only returns items that are either owned by the user
or items that the user has been explicitly collaborated on. These search results
do not include any items that a user might have accessed recently through a
shared link.

To enable shared links in the API, the `include_recent_shared_links` query
parameter can be set to `true`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&include_recent_shared_links=true" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", metadata_filters=metadata_search_filters, include_recent_shared_links=True)
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          include_recent_shared_links: true
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Please be aware that this parameter is relatively new and therefore support for
  it in our Java and Windows SDKs is still a work in progress.
</Warning>

<Danger>
  Please be very aware that when this parameter has been set to true, the format
  of the response of this API changes to return a list of
  <Link href="/reference/resources/search-results-with-shared-links">Search Results with Shared Links</Link>
</Danger>


# Searching trash
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/search/trash



By default, any content in the user's trash is ignored in the search results.
To search the user's trash, the `trash_content` query parameter can be set to
`trashed_only`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=sales&trash_content=trashed_only" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  long offsetValue = 0;
  long limitValue = 10;

  BoxSearch boxSearch = new BoxSearch(api);
  BoxSearchParameters searchParams = new BoxSearchParameters();
  searchParams.setQuery("sales");
  searchParams.setTrashContent("trashed_only");

  PartialCollection<BoxItem.Info> searchResults = boxSearch.searchRange(offsetValue, limitValue, searchParams);
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  BoxCollection<BoxItem> results = await client.SearchManager
      .QueryAsync("sales", mdFilters: filters, trashContent: "trashed_only");
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  client.search().query("sales", metadata_filters=metadata_search_filters, trash_content="trashed_only")
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  client.search.query(
      'sales',
      {
          trash_content: "trashed_only"
      })
      .then(results => {
          // ...
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Currently the API only supports searching for content not in the trash
  (`non_trashed_only`, default) or in the user's trash (`trashed_only`). It is
  currently not possible to search for items in both locations at once.
</Info>


# Webhooks overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/index



Webhooks allow you to monitor Box content for events, and receive notifications
to a URL of your choice when they occur. For example, a workflow may include
waiting for a file to be downloaded to delete a shared link. A webhook can be
set on the file and upon notification of the download event, a script can launch
to make an API call to delete the shared link.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Webhook developer console" />

## Versions

There are two types of webhooks: V1 and V2, which are compared below.

<Note>
  For the ease of use, better security, more event triggers to choose from,
  and automatic retries we recommend to use V2 webhooks.
</Note>

| Level                                                   | Description                                                                                                                           | Configuration Required |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| [**Core models**](#core-box-ai-models)                  | Built into Box AI and available by default for all customers                                                                          | None                   |
| [**Customer-enabled models**](#customer-enabled-models) | Require activation by Box admins in the Admin Console or a request to Box. Some models may be subject to additional terms or pricing. | Yes                    |

## Capability tiers

| Tier                | Description                                                                       | Best For                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Standard models** | High-speed, cost-efficient performance                                            | Basic summarization, Q\&A, structured data extraction from shorter or simpler documents. High-volume, low-complexity use cases |
| **Premium models**  | Advanced reasoning, larger context windows, better performance on complex content | Multi-step reasoning, large taxonomies, lengthy or unstructured documents, domain-specific content                             |

<Note>
  A model can be both customer-enabled and premium, or core and standard. In other words, access level and capability tiers are independent categorizations (for example, models can be either capability tier regardless of access level). The two categorizations are complementary.
</Note>

## Using models

How to use the supported AI models:

* Get the <Link href="/reference/get-ai-agent-default">default AI agent configuration</Link>.
* Override the AI agent configuration used in <Link href="/reference/post-ai-ask">`POST 2.0/ai/ask`</Link>, <Link href="/reference/post-ai-text-gen">`POST 2.0/ai/text_gen`</Link>, <Link href="/reference/post-ai-extract">`POST 2.0/ai/extract`</Link>, <Link href="/reference/post-ai-extract-structured">`POST 2.0/ai/extract_structured`</Link> endpoints.

When using the `model` parameter in your API calls, use the **API Name** visible on each model card listed below.

For example, to get the AI agent configuration for a specific model, use the <Link href="/reference/get-ai-agent-default#param-model">model</Link> parameter and provide the `openai__gpt_5_mini` API name. Make sure you use **two underscores** after the provider name.

<Note>
  The list may change depending on the model availability.

# Get started with Box Automate
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-automate/getting-started-box-automate



## Enable Box Automate

Your Box admin must <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/51190675028499-Enabling-Box-Automate"> enable Box Automate </Link> (and any add-on products you use in flows,
such as Box AI Studio) for the enterprise to begin using Automate. If a scope or
feature is not available in the Developer Console, contact Box Support or your
account team with the user or app context you plan to use.

## Manual Start API

You can trigger Manual Start workflows programmatically using the Box API.

| Endpoint                                 | Method | Description                                                                                                                         |
| ---------------------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| List workflows with Manual Start trigger | GET    | Retrieve all Automate workflows with a Manual Start trigger set for a given folder. Returns a workflow list. Folder ID is required. |
| Trigger a Manual Start workflow          | POST   | Trigger a specific workflow with chosen files.                                                                                      |

### Request  Parameters:

* `files` - provide file IDs in the request body (optional if triggering on a folder; max 20 files per request)
* `fields defined at start` - when a workflow requires runtime fields (for example, task assignees, notification recipients), include them in the API call. Missing required fields return an error.

Use the Custom HTTP Request outcome to connect your Box Automate workflows to external apps and APIs.

The HTTPS request outcome is available for all Enterprise Advanced users with Automate enabled.
However, your Admin needs to either add Connectors to the allow-list in settings or enable you
to add your own from the builder.

<Note>
  Note: If your admin has turned off the option to add your own connectors,
  you can only select from pre-approved connectors in the dropdown.
</Note>

**To add a Custom HTTP request outcome:**

1. Open Workflow Builder.
2. Add the Custom HTTP request outcome.
3. Fill in the fields:

* URL: Choose a connector, or add a new one if allowed.
* Method: Select GET, POST, DELETE, PUT, or PATCH.
* Query Parameters: Add any key-value pairs you need.
* Authentication: Choose an auth type and enter the required info.
* Headers: Add optional headers.
* Body: Enter the JSON request body.
* Description: Briefly say what the request does.

**Authentication options:**

* OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials: Client ID, Client Secret, Authorization URL, Token URL, Scopes
* Basic Auth: Username and password
* Bearer Token: Token
* API Key: API key
* Custom Header: Header name and value

**Test Your Connection**

1. After configuring your outcome, click the Test button.
2. Review the test response code to confirm the connection works.
3. The builder automatically captures response properties and creates variables for you.
4. Use the JSON path: [https://jsonpath.com/](https://jsonpath.com/) to verify and see the variables from the test response.

# Box Automate
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-automate/index



<Note>
  Box Automate availability depends on your Box plan and how your organization
  enables the product. Work with your Box admin or account team before building
  integrations against production content.
</Note>

Box Automate is a workflow automation platform built natively on the Box content
platform. You can use it to design, build, and run automated workflows with a
visual builder that supports conditional branching, loops, and a broad set of
triggers and actions. This overview summarizes what the platform can do, how
developers can integrate with it, and which Box APIs and scopes
you are to use alongside workflows.

## Capabilities

* **Triggers** — File, folder, task, File Request, Box Sign, metadata triggers, Forms submissions manual, webhook events can start workflows.
* **Outcomes** — File and folder outcomes, collaborations, task assignments, Workflows can assign tasks, send notifications, AI outcomes, Integrations, and metadata.
* **Logic** — Branching, variables, JSONPath, and structured AI output help route work and pass data between steps.
* **AI** — Custom agents can use knowledge sources, citations, and reasoning traces where those features are enabled for your enterprise.

## Use cases

Box Automate fits document-centric processes that combine content, people, and
policy. Common examples include:

* **Approvals and reviews** — Route files for review, capture outcomes, and notify stakeholders.
* **Case and project folders** — React to uploads or metadata changes and kick off the next step automatically.
* **AI-assisted triage** — Classify or summarize incoming content, then branch on the result.
* **Cross-product flows** — Combine uploads (for example, File Request), metadata, Doc Gen, or Sign in one automation.

## Developer integrations

Automations run on Box content. Most integrations use a
<Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps">platform application</Link>,
standard OAuth or JWT auth, and a mix of workflow APIs plus the content and
collaboration endpoints.
Start with
<Link href="/guides/box-automate/getting-started-box-automate">Get started with Box Automate</Link>,

## Rate limits

Workflow and content API calls are subject to Box rate limits. See the
<Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits">rate limits guide</Link>
for details.

# Triggers, outcomes, and logic in Box Automate
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-automate/triggers-and-logic



Box Automate runs **workflows**: directed graphs of steps that start from a
**trigger** and run **outcomes** until an end state is reached. In the workflow
builder, you place **triggers** and **outcomes** on a canvas; outcomes are the
automated steps the workflow performs (this guide uses **outcomes** for the same
idea when talking about integration). Triggers are content-aware and can be scoped
to folders or metadata. Exact trigger and action types available in your tenant
depend on product configuration.

## Triggers

A trigger defines when a new **run** of a workflow should begin.

### Common trigger types

* **File events** — When a file is uploaded, moved, copied, downloaded, or deleted; also preview, lock, unlock, watermark removed, add collaborator, classification applied, or file-with-metadata scenarios.
* **Folder events** — When a folder is created, moved, copied, downloaded, or deleted, or when a collaborator is added.
* **Tasks** — When a general task or an approval task completes (including accepted or rejected approval outcomes).
* **File Request** — When someone completes a File Request form and submits content to the designated Box folder.
* **Box Sign** — Sign events such as completed, declined, expired, or cancelled.
* **Metadata** — When a specific metadata template is applied or a specific file or folder.
* **Manual start** — A user starts the flow from the file or folder in the Box web app.
* **Form submissions** — If enabled for your plan (for example Enterprise Advanced+), a workflow starts when a designated Box Form is submitted.
* **HTTPS request** — An external system starts a run by sending an HTTP request to a **unique URL** that Box Automate assigns to the workflow.

## Outcomes

**Outcomes** are the steps that run after a trigger fires (called **outcomes** in
the builder). You can chain multiple outcomes and pass data between steps with
variables.

**Key outcome capabilities**

* **File outcomes** — Move, copy, rename, delete, lock, unlock, add or remove watermark, add or remove collaborators, apply classification, and related file operations.
* **Folder outcomes** — Create, move, copy, rename, delete, restore, add or remove collaborators, apply classification, and related folder operations.
* **Collaboration** — Add or remove collaborators on files or folders dynamically.
* **Task assignments** — Assign approval tasks or general tasks to users or groups, with instructions and due dates.
* **Notifications** — Send email to recipients; subject and body can use variables (for example the person who started the workflow).
* **AI and advanced** — Box AI for metadata extraction, summarization, or Q\&A; options such as document generation (DocGen) and requesting signatures (Box Sign). Prefer an approval or review step after AI steps when results must be verified.
* **Metadata** — Apply, update, or extract metadata (including with AI) for files and folders. Treat agent output as potentially unpredictable and add human review before critical next steps when needed.

## Logic

Workflow logic controls branching and data flow between steps.

* **Branching** — Route the workflow on conditions (for example, if an approval task is rejected, move content to a different folder than if it were approved).
* **Loops**
  * **For each** — Iterate over a list of users, files, or all files in a folder.
  * **Loop back (go back)** — Return the flow to a previous step, with a configurable maximum loop count.
* **Variables** — Reuse information from earlier steps in later outcomes (for example, a rename step can use a metadata value from a prior AI step or the name of the user who uploaded the file).
* **Merging** — After parallel branches, merge back to a single path before a final outcome.

When integrating through an HTTPS request,
you may also use **conditions** on field values, metadata, or structured AI
output; **JSONPath** or similar approaches to read nested payload fields; and
**AI outputs** as inputs to conditions or downstream outcomes where supported.

# Box Relay
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-relay/index



[Box Relay][boxrelay] is a workflow automation application that enables Box
power users to automate and accelerate business processes centered
around content. Currently, there are two API <Link href="/reference/resources/workflow">endpoints</Link> developers
can use with more planned to be released in the future. Both were created to
work directly with [manual start flows][manualstart].

<Note>
  For more information on how to use these endpoints, refer to our [blog][blog]
  post.
</Note>

## Required Scopes

The following <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link> must be enabled for an application before use of
Box Relay's endpoints.

* <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#read-all-files-and-folders">Read all files and folders stored in Box</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#read-and-write-all-files-and-folders">Write all files and folders stored in Box</Link>
* <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes/#manage-box-relay">Manage Box Relay</Link>

<Warning>
  Depending on the selected authentication method and enterprise's settings,
  your application may require Admin authorization or re-authorization before
  successful use of any newly selected scopes.
</Warning>

## Rate Limits

Please see our <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/rate-limits/#per-api-rate-limits">rate limit guide</Link> for more information.

## Testing

Due to the feature parity, it may be useful to familiarize yourself with
[Box Relay functionality using the Box web app][webapp] before leveraging the
API. As with all API endpoints, we recommend testing via
[developer sandbox environment][sandbox] to eliminate the risk of impacting
production content.

The <Link href="/reference/post-workflows-id-start">start workflow endpoint</Link> can be used to start a flow within a
workflow of type `WORKFLOW_MANUAL_START`. Other flow types cannot be started.
If you have the flow set up to accept configurations at runtime, you must send
in the optional `outcomes` array object.

# Cancel Box Sign Request
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/cancel-sign-request



A Box Sign request that has not yet been signed or declined can be cancelled
using the <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests-id-cancel">cancel Box Sign request endpoint</Link>. Any outstanding signers
can no longer sign the document.

Only the requester (the user who created the request) can cancel it. You can't
cancel a request that was declined, fully signed, or whose document is
still converting.

## Cancel a request

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/<SIGN_REQUEST_ID>/cancel" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.signRequests.cancelSignRequest(createdSignRequest.id!);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.sign_requests.cancel_sign_request(created_sign_request.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.SignRequests.CancelSignRequestAsync(signRequestId: NullableUtils.Unwrap(createdSignRequest.Id));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.signRequests.cancelSignRequest(signRequestId: createdSignRequest.id!)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getSignRequests().cancelSignRequest(createdSignRequest.getId())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxSignRequest signRequest = new BoxSignRequest(api, id);
  BoxSignRequest.Info signRequestInfo = signRequest.getInfo();

  signRequestInfo.cancel();
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  sign_request = client.sign_request(sign_request_id='12345')
  cancelled_sign_request = sign_request.cancel()
  print(f'Cancelled Sign Request status is {cancelled_sign_request.status}')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  BoxSignRequest cancelledSignRequest = await client.SignRequestsManager.CancelSignRequestAsync("12345");
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  const signRequest = await client.signRequests.cancelById({
  	sign_request_id: 12345,
  });
  console.log(`Sign request id ${sr.id} cancelled`);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Provide a cancellation reason

The request body accepts an optional `reason` field describing why the request was
cancelled.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/<SIGN_REQUEST_ID>/cancel" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -d '{ "reason": "Project cancelled" }'
```

<Note>
  The v10 SDK methods shown above cancel a request without sending a body, so call the
  endpoint directly to set a `reason`.
</Note>

## Control signer notifications

Signer notifications are configured per signer when the request is created, not when
it is cancelled, so the cancel endpoint takes no notification parameters. To turn the
default emails off and send your own, see
<Link href="/guides/box-sign/suppress-sign-notifications">Suppress default Box Sign notifications</Link>.

<Note>
  You can initiate 21 CFR Part 11 (GxP) signature requests through the API by setting
  `request_flow` to `cfr11`. For more information, see [21 CFR Part 11 requests](/sign/request-options/cfr-part-11) and [21 CFR Part 11 compliance support](https://docs.box.com/en/box-sign/sending-a-document-for-signature/21-cfr-part-11-compliance-support).
</Note>

## Document preparation

Preparing a document prior to sending a Box Sign request allows developers to
add date, text, checkbox, and/or signature placeholders for signers. This can be
done with UI or [tags][tags] directly in the document. If this is not done,
signers receive an unprepared document and can place signatures and fields at
their own discretion. However, developers can leverage controls in the request
that allow them to turn features for the unprepared document on and off.

Setting `is_document_preparation_needed` to `true` provides a `prepare_url` in
the response. Visiting this link in your browser allows you to complete document
preparation and send the request in the UI.

To learn more about document tags, please see our [support article][tags].

<Warning>
  Prefill tags created in a template with the Box web app cannot be accessed from
  the API.
</Warning>

  <div>

  </div>
</Frame>

## Files

Each Box Sign request begins with a file that needs to be signed. If the file
does not already exist in Box, it must be <Link href="/reference/post-files-content">uploaded</Link>, in a separate
API call, prior to creating the request. Multiple files can be signed in one
request. File ID of the first file in a request is specified in the
`source_files` body parameter.

<Warning>
  The requester must have download privileges to the file in Box. Review
  our [collaboration levels][collab] to ensure this requirement is met.
</Warning>

Supported file types include:

* All <Link href="/guides/representations/supported-file-types/#documents">documents</Link>
* All <Link href="/guides/representations/supported-file-types/#presentations">presentations</Link>
* Images: `png`, `jpg`, `jpeg`, `tiff` only
* Text-based files: `.csv`, `.txt` only

All file types are converted to `.pdf` for the signature process. This converted
document can be found in the `parent_folder` upon successfully sending a
request. This means that the final, signed document is a `.pdf`, regardless of
the original file type. As each signer completes the request, Box Sign will
automatically add a new file version.

File size limits are determined by your account type. Please see our
<Link href="/guides/uploads/direct">uploads guide</Link> for more information.

## Parent folder

The folder ID specified in the `parent_folder` body parameter determines the
destination of the final signed document and [signing log][log]. This folder
cannot be the All Files or root level, which is represented by folder ID `0`.

## Signers

Each signer must be assigned a [role][role]:  `signer`, `approver`, or `final copy_reader`.

If the requester is not given a role, a signer with the role `final_copy_reader`
is automatically created. This means they only receive a copy of the final,
signed document and [signing log][log].

Signers do not need to have an existing Box account, nor create one, in order to
sign documents. Unlike other API endpoints, signers are invited by email address
and not Box `user_id`.

If necessary, signers can log in to Box before signing the request. In such
case set the parameter `login_required` to `true` for signers. If the signer
does not have an existing account, they will have an option to create a free
Box account.

You can also require signers to verify their identity before signing through SMS multifactor
authentication, a Box account login, or CAC/PIV smart card authentication. A password can be
added alongside any of these methods for an extra layer of protection. For more information,
see [Extra security](/sign/request-options/extra-security).

<Warning>
  Box Sign will only attempt to send signing emails to the email addresses
  provided for signers in the request. For Box users, this does not include email
  aliases unless specified. Please double check to ensure all provided signer
  email addresses are valid.
</Warning>

### Inputs

The `inputs` parameter represents placeholders that the user can interact with.
The `document_tag_id` parameter can be populated with data you want to
pass when creating a sign request.

## Templates

You can create a sign request using a template.
To do so, you must provide the `template_id` parameter.
See <Link href="/guides/box-sign/sign-templates">this guide</Link> to learn more about using templates
when creating sign requests.

## Redirects

The URLs specified in the `redirect_url` and `declined_redirect_url`
allow you to redirect signers to a custom landing page
after signing or declining the sign request.
For example, if you integrate your application with Box Sign,
you can redirect signers back to your application
or to a custom landing page.
You can set redirect URLs globally for all signers
as well as for specific signers only.
This means that Box Sign will use specific URLs
for signers of your choice, and global
settings for the rest.
If you don't configure any redirect URLs
Box Sign will redirect signers to a default page.

<Warning>
  The default page includes the following note:
  "Once the document has been completed by all parties,
  a limited-time link to a finalized copy will be emailed to you,
  and, if you have a Box account, a copy will be available in your account."
  If you decide to redirect the signers to a different page, this information
  will not be available to signers.
</Warning>

## Multiple signers and signing order

Signing order is determined by ordering the provided `order` numbers from
smallest to largest. If two numbers are the same, signers will receive the
request at the same time.

Initially, only the signer(s) with the lowest assigned `order` number will
receive a Box Sign request email. Once they sign, the following user(s) will
an email and so on. Box Sign automatically adds a new version of the
document to the `parent_folder` as each user signs.

If any signer declines, any remaining signers will not receive a Box Sign
request email. The overall request is declined.

<Frame>
  <div>
    <img alt="Multiple signer flow" />
  </div>
</Frame>

## Request status

* `converting`: The file is converted to a `.pdf` for the signing process once the sign request is sent.
* `error_converting`: An issue was encountered while converting the file to a `.pdf`.
* `created`: If `document_preparation_is_needed` is set to `true`, but the `prepare_url` has not yet been visited.
* `sent`: The request was successfully sent, but no signer has interacted with it.
* `error_sending`: An issue was encountered while sending the request.
* `viewed`: Once the first, or only, signer clicks on **Review document** in the signing email or visits the signing URL.
* `downloaded`: The signing document was downloaded by signer.
* `signed`: All signers completed the request.
* `signed and downloaded`: The signing document was signed and downloaded by signer.
* `declined`: If any signer declines the request.
* `cancelled`: If the request is cancelled via UI or API.
* `expired`: The date of expiration has passed with outstanding, incomplete signatures.
* `finalizing`: If all signers have signed the request, but the final document with signatures and the signing log has not been generated yet.
* `error_finalizing`: If the `finalizing` phase did not complete successfully.
* `error`: A generic error status. When a request has this status, the `error_code` field identifies the specific reason, for example `cfr11_validation_failed`.

Encountering an error status requires creating a new sign request to retry.

# Embedded Sign client
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/embedded-sign-client



<Link href="/guides/embed/box-embed">Box Embed</Link> allows you to embed Box Sign
features into your own website. This way, users
don't have to leave the website, go to Box Sign
to sign the document, and then come back to finish
the process.
Instead, Box Embed allows them
to complete the signing process
within the external website.

To integrate Box Sign experience within your
own website, you need the `iframable_embed_url`
parameter that is specifically designed to allow
signing documents within the HTML `iframe` tag.

A sample `iframable_embed_url` looks as follows:

```sh theme={null}
https://app.box.com/embed/sign/document/f14d7098-a331-494b-808b-79bc7f3992a3/f14d7098-a331-494b-808b-79bc7f3992a4
```

To get the `iframeable_embed_url` pass the <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests#param-signers-embed_url_external_user_id">`embed_url_external_user_id`</Link> parameter for each signer when calling the <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests">create sign request</Link> endpoint.
The returned response will contain a unique `iframeable_embed_url` for that signer.

To embed Sign features and make them
available to the users,
use the URL within the `iframe` tag:

```sh theme={null}
<iframe
  src="https://app.box.com/embed/sign/document/f14d7098-a331-494b-808b-79bc7f3992a3/f14d7098-a331-494b-808b-79bc7f3992a4"
  width="{pixels}"
  height="{pixels}"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
  webkitallowfullscreen
  msallowfullscreen
></iframe>
```

# Resend Box Sign Request
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/resend-sign-request



The <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests-id-resend">resend a Box sign request endpoint</Link> can be used to resend request
emails to any remaining signers.

A Box Sign request cannot be resent if the <Link href="/guides/box-sign/create-sign-request/#request-status">status</Link> is: `signed`,
`cancelled`, `declined`, `expired`, `error_sending`, or `error_converting`.

If a Box Sign request was recently sent, you will need to wait 10 minutes before
resending. If you try before this time has passed you will receive a 400 error.

<Tip>
  Reminder emails can be enabled when creating a Box Sign request to avoid the
  need to resend the request.
</Tip>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/<SIGN_REQUEST_ID>/resend" \

# Create Sign Request with Sign Template
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/sign-templates



The Sign Request API allows you to use a predefined Box Sign
template when creating a sign request.
The template includes placeholders
that are automatically populated with data
when creating the request.

## Create Template

Start with creating a Box Sign template
that includes `text`, `date`,
and `signature` fields you will need for
you request.

See the [template guides][docuprep] guide
for detailed instructions.

## Get the Template ID

To send a sign request, you need to pass the ID
of the template you want to use.
List the templates to find the `template_id`.

```json theme={null}

    ...
  }
]
```

## Create the sign request

Follow these steps to <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests">create sign request</Link> using a template:

1. In the request body, provide the `template_id`:

   ```json theme={null}
   {
     "template_id": "6ae28666-03c4-4ac1-80db-06a90d3b1361",
     "parent_folder": {
       "id": "123456789",
       "etag": "0",
       "type": "folder",
       "sequence_id": "0",
       "name": "My Sign Requests"
     },
     ...
   }
   ```

2. Add the signer email addresses and roles:

   ```json theme={null}
   {
     "template_id": "6ae28666-03c4-4ac1-80db-06a90d3b1361",
     "parent_folder": {
       "id": "157064745449",
       "etag": "0",
       "type": "folder",
       "sequence_id": "0",
       "name": "My Sign Requests"
     },
     "signers": [
       {
         "email": "signer1@sample.com",
         "role": "signer"
       },
       {
         "email": "signer2@sample.com",
         "role": "signer"
       }
     ]
   }
   ```

3. Add the `prefill_tags` to populate the fields.

   <Info>
     Make sure the signer order is the same as the one
     displayed on the template. If the template had `signer1`
     first and then `signer2`, the `POST` request must reflect
     the same order to assign the proper signers.
   </Info>

   ```json theme={null}
   {
     "template_id": "6ae28666-03c4-4ac1-80db-06a90d3b1361",
     "parent_folder": {
       "id": "123456789000",
       "etag": "0",
       "type": "folder",
       "sequence_id": "0",
       "name": "My Sign Requests"
     },
     "signers": [
       {
         "email": "signer1@sample.com",
         "role": "signer"
       },
       {
         "email": "signer2@sample.com",
         "role": "signer"
       }
     ],
     "prefill_tags": [
       {
         "document_tag_id": "signer1_full_name",
         "text_value": "Aaron Levie"
       },
       {
         "document_tag_id": "signer2_full_name",
         "text_value": "Albert Einstein"
       }
     ]
   }
   ```

4. Send the `POST` request. The response will be similar to the following:

   ```json theme={null}
   {
     "is_document_preparation_needed": false,
     ...
     "signers": [
       {
         "email": "reader@sample.com",
         "role": "final_copy_reader",
       },
       {
         "email": "signer1@sample.com",
         "role": "signer",
       },
       {
         "email": "signer2@sample.com",
         "role": "signer",
       }
     ],
     "id": "d02fefd2-15fa-431f-a127-2b4525616ae6",
     "prefill_tags": [
       {
         "document_tag_id": "signer1_full_name",
         "text_value": "Aaron Levie",
       },
       {
         "document_tag_id": "signer2_full_name",
         "text_value": "Albert Einstein",
       }
     ],
     "source_files": [],

           "name": "Contract.pdf",
         }
       ],
       "is_ready_for_download": true
     },
     "template_id": "6ae28666-03c4-4ac1-80db-06a90d3b1361"
   }

# Suppress default Box Sign notifications
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-sign/suppress-sign-notifications



Box Sign API allows you to suppress the default Box
email notifications sent during the Sign workflow.
​​This feature facilitates the ownership of Box Sign
notifications with the following options:

* You can use a fully-customized email notification
  template to send emails from your domain.
* Apart from emails, you can send push notifications
  or text messages.​

<Note>
  When you choose to suppress Box email notifications, your organization assumes responsibility for ensuring the delivery to Signers of all notifications at the appropriate time in the signing process and with the appropriate content, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to obtaining Signer consent to the delivery methods used, if applicable.
</Note>

## Using Box Sign API to suppress default notifications

To suppress Box Sign email notifications, you must
set the following parameters:

1. Set the `suppress_notifications` parameter in
   the <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests/#param-signers">`signers`</Link> object to `true` to turn
   the notifications off.
2. Set the <Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests/#param-signers-embed_url_external_user_id">`embed_url_external_user_id`</Link> parameter
   to specify the user who will not receive notifications.

This configuration turns off the
automatic Box Sign email notifications
for a given user. As a result, you can configure
and send your own notifications.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
       "signers": [
          {    
            "role": "signer",
            "email": "example_email@box.com"
            "suppress_notifications": true
            "embed_url_external_user_id": "1234"
          }
        ],
       "source_files": [
          {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "123456789"
          }
       ],
       "parent_folder": 
          {
            "type": "folder",
            "id": "0987654321"
          }
     }'
```

## Signing Log entries

When Box Sign default notifications are suppressed, the Signing Log will indicate that the sender has suppressed all Box Sign notifications. The log will also provide information on the system used for purposes of notification delivery and the user ID of the signer on your organization’s system, as provided to Box Sign through your API integration.

# Get started with Box Doc Gen
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/docgen/docgen-getting-started



To start generating documents with Box Doc Gen API you will need a platform application and a developer token to
authenticate your calls. You also need a Doc Gen template that will serve as an input source for your document.

## Enable Box Doc Gen

To use Box Doc Gen, make sure it is enabled by an
admin in the Admin Console.
If you are a Box Admin, you will find the necessary information in
[Enterprise Settings: Content & Sharing Tab][settings] documentation.

## Create and upload a Box Doc Gen template

To use Box Doc Gen API to generate documents, a Box Doc Gen template must already exist in Box. You have the following options to create a template:

* Install the [Box Doc Gen Template Creator add-in for Microsoft Word][template-addin].
* Create a Box Doc Gen template [using a JSON file][json-template] or manually create [template tags][template-tags].

## Create a platform application

First you need to create a platform application
you will use to make calls. To create
an application, follow the guide
on <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/create">creating platform apps</Link>.

## Generate a developer token

You need a developer token
to authenticate your app when sending requests.

To generate a token:

1. Go to **Developer Console** > **My Platform Apps**.
2. Click the **Options menu** button (…) on the right.
3. Select **Generate Developer Token**. The token will be automatically generated and saved to clipboard.

<Frame>
  <img alt="generate token" />
</Frame>

You can also open your app, go to
**Configuration** > **Developer Token**
and generate the token.

<Note>
  A developer token is only valid for one hour.
</Note>

For additional details, see <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">developer token</Link>.
After you generate the token, you can use it in cURL
or other clients, such as <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman">Postman</Link>, to make
calls.

## Use webhooks

You can create webhooks to monitor Doc Gen events and automate your business process or workflow.

Follow the instructions for <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/create-v2/">adding webhooks</Link>. Your content type is your Doc Gen template file or folder.

The supported <Link href="/guides/webhooks/triggers">events</Link> are:

* `DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_GENERATION_STARTED`
* `DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_GENERATION_SUCCEEDED`
* `DOCGEN_DOCUMENT_GENERATION_FAILED`

<Frame>
  <img alt="Doc Gen event triggers" />
</Frame>

Information that is posted in a notification:

* Trigger name.
* Webhook trigger timestamp.
* Template file ID.
* Template file version ID.
* Template file name.
* Destination folder.
* Generated file ID (if the document generation process succeeds).
* Output type (DOCX or PDF).
* Reason (if the document generation process fails).

  ```
</CodeGroup>

Box Doc Gen API allows you to get information about the Box Doc Gen jobs.

## Prerequisites

Before you start using Box Doc Gen API, follow the steps listed in the <Link href="/guides/docgen/docgen-getting-started">get started with Box Doc Gen</Link> guide to create a platform app and a Box Doc Gen template.

## List all Box Doc Gen jobs

To get a list of all Box Doc Gen jobs that were run,
use the `GET /2.0/docgen_jobs` endpoint. You don't have to provide any additional parameters.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/docgen_jobs" \
       -H 'box-version: 2025.0' \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.docgen.getDocgenJobsV2025R0({
    limit: 10000,
  } satisfies GetDocgenJobsV2025R0QueryParams);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.docgen.get_docgen_jobs_v2025_r0(limit=10000)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Docgen.GetDocgenJobsV2025R0Async(queryParams: new GetDocgenJobsV2025R0QueryParams() { Limit = 10000 });
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.docgen.getDocgenJobsV2025R0(queryParams: GetDocgenJobsV2025R0QueryParams(limit: Int64(10000)))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getDocgen().getDocgenJobsV2025R0(new GetDocgenJobsV2025R0QueryParams.Builder().limit(10000L).build())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Get a Box Doc Gen job by ID

To get a specific Box Doc Gen job,
use the `GET /2.0/docgen_jobs_id` endpoint and provide the `job_id`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/docgen_jobs/12345" \
       -H 'box-version: 2025.0' \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.docgen.getDocgenJobByIdV2025R0(docgenJobItemFromList.id);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.docgen.get_docgen_job_by_id_v2025_r0(docgen_job_item_from_list.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Docgen.GetDocgenJobByIdV2025R0Async(jobId: docgenJobItemFromList.Id);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.docgen.getDocgenJobByIdV2025R0(jobId: docgenJobItemFromList.id)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getDocgen().getDocgenJobByIdV2025R0(docgenJobItemFromList.getId())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Get Box Doc Gen jobs in batch with a specific ID

A single request can generate several documents. In such a case, a separate generation job is run for each document and all these jobs are included in one "batch" meaning a request.
To get all jobs performed within one request, use the `GET /2.0/docgen_batch_jobs_id` endpoint and provide the `batch_id`.

<CodeGroup>

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.docgen_template.get_docgen_templates_v2025_r0()
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.DocgenTemplate.GetDocgenTemplatesV2025R0Async();
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.docgenTemplate.getDocgenTemplatesV2025R0()
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getDocgenTemplate().getDocgenTemplatesV2025R0()
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The response will contain an `entries` array listing the already created Box Doc Gen templates.

## Get a  Box Doc Gen template by ID

## Use cases

### Mark a file as Box Doc Gen template

The following sample show you how to mark a file to ensure it is recognized as a Box Doc Gen template.

<Note>
  The file must be in `.docx` format.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/docgen_templates' \
       -H 'box-version: 2025.0' \
       -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
       -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
       -D '{
          "file": {
              "id": "12345678",
              "type": "file"
          }
  }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.docgenTemplate.createDocgenTemplateV2025R0({
    file: new FileReferenceV2025R0({ id: file.id }),
  } satisfies DocGenTemplateCreateRequestV2025R0);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.docgen_template.create_docgen_template_v2025_r0(FileReferenceV2025R0(id=file.id))
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.DocgenTemplate.CreateDocgenTemplateV2025R0Async(requestBody: new DocGenTemplateCreateRequestV2025R0(file: new FileReferenceV2025R0(id: file.Id)));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.docgenTemplate.createDocgenTemplateV2025R0(requestBody: DocGenTemplateCreateRequestV2025R0(file: FileReferenceV2025R0(id: file.id)))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getDocgenTemplate().createDocgenTemplateV2025R0(new DocGenTemplateCreateRequestV2025R0(new FileReferenceV2025R0(file.getId())))
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Remove Box Doc Gen template marking from a file

To make sure a file is no longer marked as a Box Doc Gen template,
use the `DELETE 2.0/docgen_templates/:template_id` request.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -L -X DELETE 'https://api.box.com/2.0/docgen_templates/12345678' \
       -H 'box-version: 2025.0' \
       -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.docgenTemplate.deleteDocgenTemplateByIdV2025R0(
    createdDocgenTemplate.file!.id,
  );
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.docgen_template.delete_docgen_template_by_id_v2025_r0(
      created_docgen_template.file.id
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.DocgenTemplate.DeleteDocgenTemplateByIdV2025R0Async(templateId: NullableUtils.Unwrap(createdDocgenTemplate.File).Id);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.docgenTemplate.deleteDocgenTemplateByIdV2025R0(templateId: createdDocgenTemplate.file!.id)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getDocgenTemplate().deleteDocgenTemplateByIdV2025R0(createdDocgenTemplate.getFile().getId())
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Intelligent workflow
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/intelligent-workflow/index

Build governed, agentic content workflows without running your own automation infrastructure.

Box is built for content-centric intelligent workflows. Box Automate orchestrates triggers, AI agents, people, and document steps on files and folders that already inherit Box permissions, collaboration, retention, and audit. Box Doc Gen produces business documents from templates and writes them back into that same governed content layer. Learn how to design work around the documents people already use, instead of copying content into a separate automation or AI system.

<Note>
  [Box Automate](https://developer.box.com/guides/box-automate/index) and
  [Box Doc Gen](https://developer.box.com/guides/docgen) are not included in
  the Free Developer Plan.
</Note>

## Why Box for intelligent workflows

Choose Box when the workflow's source of truth is **enterprise content** and you need automation, AI, and document production without leaving that content layer.

* **Content stays governed** — Workflows operate on Box files and folders. Access tokens and collaborations still apply; you do not bypass waterfall permissions by using the API. See the <Link href="/guides/security">security overview</Link>.
* **Event-driven and human-driven triggers** — Box Automate workflows can start from file/folder events, metadata, tasks, File Request, Box Sign, forms, manual start, or HTTPS.
* **AI as a workflow step** — Use Box AI in Automate to extract metadata, summarize content, or answer questions, then route the workflow based on that result.
* **Document production** — Box Doc Gen fills Microsoft Word templates from API JSON (or Box Automate outcomes) and writes generated `docx` or `pdf` files back into Box.
* **Cross-product handoffs** — One Box Automate flow can combine uploads, metadata, Box Doc Gen, Sign, tasks, notifications, and external HTTPS connectors.
* **Developer control** — Platform apps authenticate with standard Box auth, call content APIs, start manual workflows, and (where enabled) call Box Automate and Box Doc Gen endpoints.

<Tip>
  Box is **not** a general-purpose iPaaS for arbitrary SaaS-to-SaaS glue that never touches files. It is strongest when the process is document-centric: intake, classification, generation, review, signature, routing, and archival of content that must remain permissioned and auditable.
</Tip>

## End-to-end intelligent content workflows

<Frame>
  <img alt="Diagram showing triggers, AI agents, and outcomes running inside Box Automate as the foundation layer on Box, with an HTTP connector" />
</Frame>

**Box Automate is the foundation layer** for intelligent content workflows. Triggers, AI agents, and outcomes are Automate workflow steps that run on governed Box content.

* **Triggers** — Folder and file events, plus Box Forms, start an Automate run when content or form input arrives.
* **AI agents** — Custom agents, Box Extract, and Box AI triage and enrich content inside the same Automate workflow.
* **Outcomes** — Add metadata, assign tasks, run file and folder actions, request signatures with Box Sign, generate documents with Box Doc Gen, or call external systems through the HTTP connector.

Automate itself sits on **Box**, while security and compliance, the content platform, collaboration, and integrations stay underneath every run.

## Box Automate

Box Automate is a workflow automation platform built natively on Box. You design **workflows** as directed graphs: a **trigger** starts a run, then **outcomes** execute until the flow ends. The builder supports conditional branching, loops, variables, and data passed between steps — including AI agent output.

### Why build on Box Automate

You can stitch the same outcomes together with webhooks, custom workers, and direct Box API calls. Box Automate is the better default when you want **governed automation** rather than another system to operate.

<Columns>
  <Card title="If you build it yourself" icon="server">
    * Host workers, queues, retries, and scheduling
    * Re-implement permission checks on every step
    * Assemble your own audit story across services
    * Wire AI, routing, tasks, and Doc Gen by hand
    * Add custom glue for every new content event
  </Card>

  <Card title="If you build on Box Automate" icon="gears">
    * Box runs the workflow runtime, without any automation infrastructure to manage
    * Steps inherit existing permissions and collaborations
    * Activity stays on Box content with enterprise audit and governance
    * Agentic and human steps live in one visual workflow
    * Content-aware triggers start runs for you
  </Card>
</Columns>

Use the Platform APIs when you need fine-grained, app-owned control of a single action. Use Automate when the product is the **process**: multi-step, content-centric work that must stay secure, observable, and maintainable without a private orchestration stack.

### Agentic orchestration with Box Automate

Box Automate's strategic differentiation is **agentic orchestration**: workflows that do not only move files on fixed rules, but also invoke AI agents, act on their output, and hand off to people or systems when judgment is required.

In practice, that means you can:

* **Run custom agents in-flow** — Where enabled for your enterprise, Automate AI capabilities work with custom agents that use knowledge sources, citations, and reasoning traces. See <Link href="/guides/ai-studio/index">Box AI Studio</Link> and the <Link href="/guides/box-automate/index">Box Automate overview</Link>.
* **Ground agents on Box content** — Extraction, summarization, and Q\&A run against the files and folders in the workflow, not a disconnected copy of the data.
* **Branch on agent output** — Structured AI results become variables and conditions for later outcomes (route, enrich metadata, generate a document, assign a task, or call an external API).
* **Keep humans in the loop** — Approval and general tasks sit beside agent steps so irreversible actions (delete, external share, legal send) can require review. Prefer a review step after AI when results must be verified.
* **Orchestrate the full content lifecycle** — One workflow can combine intake, agent triage, Doc Gen, Sign, collaboration, notifications, and HTTPS connectors under Box governance.

<Info>
  That combination of agents, content permissions, and durable workflow logic is what makes up a powerful platform for intelligent, agentic workflows. One workflow can also combine intake, agent triage, Doc Gen, Sign, collaboration, notifications, and HTTPS connectors under Box governance.
</Info>

### Triggers, outcomes, and logic

Exact trigger and outcome types depend on plan and configuration.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Triggers">
    * **File events** — Upload, move, copy, download, delete, preview, lock/unlock, watermark removed, collaborator added, classification applied, and file-with-metadata scenarios.
    * **Folder events** — Create, move, copy, download, delete, or collaborator added.
    * **Tasks** — General or approval task completion (including accepted/rejected).
    * **File Request** — Form completion that deposits content into a folder.
    * **Box Sign** — Completed, declined, expired, or cancelled.
    * **Metadata** — Template applied or field changes on a file or folder.
    * **Manual start** — User starts from the Box web app (also startable via API).
    * **Form submissions** — When Box Forms are enabled for your plan.
    * **HTTPS request** — An external system starts a run via a unique URL assigned to the workflow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Outcomes">
    * **Files and folders** — Move, copy, rename, delete, lock/unlock, watermark, collaborate, classify, and related operations.
    * **Tasks and notifications** — Assign approval or general tasks; send email with variable-driven content.
    * **Metadata** — Apply, update, or extract metadata (including with AI).
    * **AI and agents** — Metadata extraction, summarization, or Q\&A; custom agents with knowledge sources, citations, and reasoning traces where enabled; use structured AI output in later conditions.
    * **Document generation and signatures** — Box Doc Gen and Box Sign outcomes where enabled.
    * **External systems** — Custom HTTPS request outcomes (connectors, auth, headers, JSON body), subject to admin allow-lists.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Logic">
    * Branching on conditions (for example approval accepted vs rejected, or AI classification result).
    * **For each** loops over users, files, or folder contents; **loop back** with a max count.
    * Variables and merging after parallel paths.
    * JSONPath-style reads of nested payloads when integrating over HTTPS.

## Box Doc Gen

Box Doc Gen generates business documents (offer letters, contracts, invoices, agreements, and similar) from **Box Doc Gen templates** stored in Box. Templates are authored in Microsoft Word ([add-in](https://docs.box.com/en/box-doc-gen/box-doc-gen-installation/installing-the-box-doc-gen-template-creator-add-in-for-microsoft-word) or [tagging scripts](https://docs.box.com/en/box-doc-gen/box-doc-gen-templates/template-tags-reference-guide-and-examples)). The API fills tagged fields from JSON and writes output to a destination folder.

<Warning>
  Box Doc Gen API is available only for **Enterprise Advanced** accounts. Currently, template tags are English-only; validate language requirements before production use. Control your own Microsoft Word access to author templates because Box does not control Word licensing.
</Warning>

### API capabilities

# Legal Holds
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/legal-holds/index



A legal hold is a process that an enterprise can use to preserve all forms of
potentially relevant information when litigation is pending or reasonably
anticipated. Applying a hold to items prevents any user from deleting them from
Box.

Legal Holds can be managed and assigned to folders and files through the Box
APIs.

<Info>
  Legal Holds are a feature of the [Box Governance][governance] package, which
  can be added on to any Business Plus, Enterprise Advanced or Enterprise account.
</Info>

## Policies, Assignments, and Holds

Working with Legal Hold Policies requires a developer to work with three
distinct resources.

* **Policies:**  A <Link href="/reference/resources/legal-hold-policy">Legal Hold Policy</Link> describes the general behavior of the hold. It determines which files should be affected, based on the date and time the files were created or updated.
* **Assignments:** A <Link href="/reference/resources/legal-hold-policy-assignment">Legal Hold Policy Assignment</Link> is a relation between a policy and custodian. In this case, as custodian can be a user, folder, file, or file version. Creating an assignment puts a hold on all the file versions that belong to the custodian. For example, if an assignment is created on a folder the policy is applied to all file versions within that folder.
* **Holds**: A <Link href="/reference/resources/file-version-legal-hold">File Version Legal Hold</Link> represents all the policies that are assigned to a specific file version. Note that every file version can have a maximum of one file version legal hold and this hold contains a list of every assigned policy.

## Example Use Case

If an order of discovery is received or the customer is part of an ongoing
litigation, a legal hold policy can be created to keep track of everything that
needs to be held. The actual holding is done by assigning a policy to a specific
files or folder. When the holds are no longer needed, the policy can be released
by deleting the assignment.

## Required Scopes

Before using any of the Legal Hold APIs, an application must have the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">GCM and
Manage Legal Hold scopes</Link> enabled. These are not available in the
Developer Console and need to instead be enabled by contacting customer
support.

To get the information for a specific Retention Policy that has been created in
an enterprise, call the <Link href="/reference/get-retention-policies-id">`GET /retention_policies/:id`</Link> API endpoint
with the `id` of the policy.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/retention_policies/982312" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"

## Required Scopes

Before using any of the Retention Policy APIs, an application must have the
right scopes enabled. See <Link href="/guides/retention-policies#required-scopes">Required Scopes</Link> for more details.

# Retention Policies
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/retention-policies/index



A retention policy blocks permanent deletion of content for a specified amount
of time. Admins can create retention policies and then assign them to
specific folders or their entire enterprise. Retention policies can be used to
keep data for as long as is needed, and then automatically delete the content
permanently when the data can no longer be legally held.

<Info>
  Retention Policies are a feature of the [Box Governance][governance] package,
  which can be added on to any Business Plus or Enterprise account.
</Info>

## Policies, Assignments, and Retentions

Working with Retention Policies requires a developer to work with three
distinct resources.

* **Policies:**  A <Link href="/reference/resources/retention-policy">Retention Policy</Link> describes the general behavior of the retention policy. It determines how long a retention should stay in place, if it can be extended, and what happens when the retention policy ends.
* **Assignments:** A <Link href="/reference/resources/retention-policy-assignment">Retention Policy Assignment</Link> is a relation between a policy and folder or enterprise. Creating an assignment puts a retention on all the file versions that belong to that folder or enterprise. For example, if an assignment is created on a folder the policy is applied to all file versions within that folder.
* **Retentions**: A <Link href="/reference/resources/file-version-retention">File Version Retention</Link> represents all the policies that are assigned to a specific file version. Note that every file version can have a maximum of one file version retention and that this resource contains a list of every assigned policy.

<Warning>
  The <Link href="/reference/resources/file-version-retention">file version retention</Link> section of the Box API
  is now deprecated. Instead, you can use <Link href="/reference/get-retention-policy-assignments-id-files-under-retention">files under retention</Link> or
  <Link href="/reference/get-retention-policy-assignments-id-file-versions-under-retention">file versions under retention</Link> endpoints.
</Warning>

## File Deletion with Retention Policies

Files under retention can be deleted from folders, but they will be retained in
the trash until the retention expires. When the retention expires,
you can choose to have the content automatically deleted or for the policy to be
removed.

## Extend Retention for a File

Files under retention can have their retention date extended by
<Link href="/reference/put-files-id/#param-disposition_at">updating</Link> the `disposition_at` field's value with a future
date. Once the date has been extended, it cannot be reverted or changed to be
prior to the new date.

## Required Scopes

Before using any of the Retention Policy APIs, an application must have the following <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link> enabled:

* <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes#manage-retention-policies">Manage Retention Policies</Link>, available in the Developer Console under **Configuration** > **Application Scopes**
* <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes#global-content-manager-gcm">Global Content Manager (GCM)</Link>, enabled by contacting customer support

# Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/cors



[Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)][mdn_cors] is a security mechanism used
by web browsers to prevent malicious websites from accessing data on other
sites (like the Box API) without explicit permission.

<Warning>
  CORS only applies to Box API requests made by a web page using a
  web browser, and it relies on the `HTTP Origin` header being passed along
  by the browser. It does not come in to play in a server-side environment.
</Warning>

<Card href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS" title="Visit the MDN Web Docs for more generic information about CORS." />

## How CORS works

When a browser on one domain (for example `company.com`) tries to fetch
images, files, or even API resources from another domain (`box.com`),
the web browser will prevent access to any of those assets unless the right
CORS headers are present.

When the browser makes a cross-origin request, an `Origin` request header is
passed along with it that contains the domain of the site making that
request. This header can not be changed and is part of your web browser's
essential security.

By default, a browser will not accept any asset loaded from another domain
if there is no `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header present.
Servers like Box can explicitly list the domains allowed to access resources
on this server, or they can return a `*` value to allow any domain to access
the API.

## How Box uses CORS

Box uses the `Origin` request header and `Access-Control-Allow-Origin`
response header to enforce CORS rules defined by the developer.

### `Origin`-header validation

The Box API validates the `Origin` request header against the list of allowed
domains set by the application developer. Multiple allowed origins can be set
and any origin not on the list will return in a `HTTP 403` error.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "cors_origin_not_whitelisted",
  "context_info": {
    "origin": "https://company.com"
  },
  "help_url": "/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/",
  "message": "Access denied - Did you forget to safelist your origin in the CORS config of your app?",
  "request_id": "4dsdfsa832213"
}
```

If no origin is set, all requests to the Box API for this application return
an error.

### `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header

After the Box API has validated the `Origin` header, it will return the data
requested as well as a `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response header with
the value `*`.

```yaml theme={null}
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2020 14:07:29 GMT
Content-Type: application/json
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Connection: keep-alive
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Vary: Origin
BOX-REQUEST-ID: 032cfb446dae4fd0b4c2bff80a1a97ba7
```

By returning this header, the Box API informs the web browser that the
response can be used in the site that requested the data.

## Enabling CORS for your domain

To enable CORS for the domain your application runs on, head over to the
developer console, select your application, and scroll down to the bottom of the
**Configuration** panel to find the **CORS Domains** setting.

Add a comma separated list of all the origins that you expect your application
to be making Box API requests from. Domains require the schema (`http` or
`https`) and can include wildcards for subdomains, for example `*.example.com`.

If your site runs on a non-standard port, it will also need to include that.
This is especially relevant for a site running on `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`.

An example list of origins would be as follows.

```sh theme={null}
https://company.com,https://*.internal.company.com,http://localhost:3000
```

## Debugging CORS

There are a few different kind of CORS errors that might occur when making
API calls to the Box API.

### `HTTP 403` - No allowed origins defined

You might get this error even after you provided a list of origins. Often,
this is because of a typo in the provided origins.

1. **Check your origins** - Head back to the developer console and make sure your origins map the site your are making the API call from. Keep in mind that an origin includes the scheme (`http(s)`) but no path or trailing `/`. We recommend inspecting the page using your browser's debug console and checking the `Origin` request header value. This value should match one of the provided values in the developer console.
2. **Check your credentials** - Another reason for this error might be that you are authenticating as a different application than the one you have set the origin up for. Check that the credentials match the ones of the application you are intending to use. We recommend trying to make a call from a server-side script to validate that the API call works.

### `Cross-Origin Request Blocked`

In some cases, you might get a Javascript error that mentions CORS.

```sh theme={null}
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource at https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me. (Reason: CORS
request did not succeed).
```

In many cases this has little to do with CORS. Instead we recommend checking the
following.

1. **Check your authentication headers** - If the authorization header is not provided or malformed, then the API will return a generic error without the necessary `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header. This in turn will cause the previously mentioned error to be raised by your browser. Make sure to pass in an access token using the `Authorization: Bearer ...` header.
2. **Check for requests blocked by VPN, Proxies, etc** - In some cases, the Box API might be blocked by your VPN, corporate proxy, a browser extension, your DNS provider, or any other service that can intercept network traffic. Any of these can intercept the request and return a whole new request that does not include the necessary `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header. To test for this case, try to make the same API call from a non-browser environment, from an incognito window, or from a whole other (not company owned) device.

[mdn_cors]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

### `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header issues

If you encounter issues with the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` header, do the following:

1. **Check if your domain is on the list of allowed origins** - Go to the developer console and open your application. Click on the **Configuration** tab and scroll down. You can add your domain to the list in section **CORS domains**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="CORS allowlist" />
</Frame>

2. **Check if your server is set up correctly** - Configure your server to handle cross-domain requests or use non-cross-domain requests if you receive a warning **No 'access-control-allow-origin' header is present on the requested resource**.


# Device Pinners
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/device-pinners



Building on the login tracking feature – which allows admins to set limits on
the number of devices a user can access Box from and sends alerts to them and
the user whenever a new device is used to access that Box account – Box has
additional device management functionality to increase security when accessing
Box on mobile or desktop devices: device pinning.

To learn more about device pinning, please see our [community
documentation][community].

## APIs

The Box API allows for device pins to be inspected and removed.

* <Link href="/reference/get-enterprises-id-device-pinners">`GET /enterprise/:id/device_pinners`</Link>: Retrieves all the device pins within an enterprise.
* <Link href="/reference/get-device-pinners-id">`GET /device_pinners/:id`</Link>: Retrieves information about an individual device pin.
* <Link href="/reference/delete-device-pinners-id">`DELETE /device_pinners/:id`</Link>: Deletes an individual device pin.

# FedRAMP
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/fedramp



## Overview

FedRAMP is a certification program that allows federal agencies to use cloud
providers for increasingly secure/sensitive government or government-adjacent
data.

FedRAMP defines three categories regarding levels of security, Low, Moderate,
and High.

The higher the security level the more restrictions are in place.

Box is currently certified as [FedRAMP High][FedRAMPCert].

## Considerations

In order to be FedRAMP compliant, your administrator must setup Box in
very a very specific way. It is possible that the administrator has further
restricted access to Box functionalities.

Consult with your administrator to identify security restrictions in place that
might affect the usage of the API.

## API usage in FedRAMP

For FedRAMP compliance, you may use the below URLs for API entry points.

# Security
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/index



Whether your are a developer getting started with the Box API or a Box Admin
tasked with <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorizing</Link> applications, it is critical you understand the
security mechanisms in place to protect content stored in Box.

The Box API follows the same security principals and restrictions as the Box web
app. This means that you will not be able to bypass content [permissions][perm],
the [waterfall folder structure][waterfall], or Admin-only requirements by
leveraging the Box API.

## Access Tokens

At the core of every Box API call is an <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Token</Link>. Because a username
and password cannot be used, the Box servers need a way of validating user
identity. The full capability of an Access Token encompasses user permissions,
token permissions, and application settings.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Access Token Components" />
</Frame>

Access Tokens represent the authenticated user and determine what content a
user can successfully call. Similar to using the Box Web App, you will only be
able to successfully interact with content the user, associated with the Access
Token, either owns or is a collaborator on. This can be further restricted by
<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoping</Link> a token.

<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Tokens</Link> are only valid for 60 minutes, but can be <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-revoke">revoked</Link>
earlier if needed. Once an Access Token expires, when using an OAuth 2.0
application, a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/refresh">Refresh Token</Link> can be <Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token--refresh">exchanged</Link> for another
Access Token. Refresh tokens are valid for 60 days or one use. Alternatively,
when using a server authentication application, the
<Link href="/reference/post-oauth2-token">request Access Token endpoint</Link> must be called for a new Access Token.
For security reasons we do not allow long-lived access tokens.

<Tip>
  Unsure why you are receiving a 404 error? A great place to start is checking
  to see what user is associated with your Access Token by using the get
  current user endpoint.
</Tip>

## Scopes

<Frame>
  <img alt="Scopes" />
</Frame>

<Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Scopes</Link> are configured in the [Developer Console][dc] upon application
creation. They determine which of the 150+ endpoints Access Tokens of an
application can successfully call.

Because scopes work in conjunction with user permissions, granting the write
scope does not automatically provide a user with API access to all content in a
Box enterprise. Instead, it means that the authenticated user can receive
successful API responses when making write calls to content they have access to.

For example, take an application with only the manage users and manage groups
scopes enabled. If an Access Token of this application tried to make an API call
to get information about a folder, even if the associated user owned it, it
would receive a 403 error. This is because the read scope is required to
preform this action. Access Tokens of this application could only receive
successful responses on API calls related to users and groups.

## Restricted endpoints

There are some API endpoints that only Admins or Co-Admins, granted the
appropriate [permissions][coadminperm], can successfully use. As a general rule
of thumb, if only an Admin or Co-Admin can perform an action via the Box Admin
Console, an Access Token associated with one of these users is required to
complete an API call for the same action. This is called out in our API
<Link href="/reference">reference</Link> documentation for a given endpoint if it is required.

Some Admin-restricted endpoints include:

* Creating, deleting, or getting information about <Link href="/reference/resources/user">users</Link>
* Creating, deleting, or modifying <Link href="/reference/resources/group">groups</Link>
* Viewing user or enterprise <Link href="/reference/resources/event">events</Link>

Other endpoints can only be used by an Admin user's Access Token if the
enterprise has purchased add-on products such as Box Governance or Box Shield.
Some of these endpoints include:

* Interacting with <Link href="/reference/resources/classification">security classifications</Link>
* Interacting with <Link href="/reference/resources/legal-hold-policy">legal hold policies</Link> and <Link href="/reference/resources/legal-hold-policy-assignment">assignments</Link>
* Interacting with <Link href="/reference/resources/retention-policies">retention policies</Link> and <Link href="/reference/resources/retention-policy-assignment">assignments</Link>

## Application Access

<Frame>
  <img alt="Application Access Settings" />
</Frame>

Application access is only configured in the [Developer Console][dc] for
applications leveraging Server Authentication with <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT)</Link> or
<Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>. This setting determines the
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">types of users</Link> that can be used with the application. The two
options are **app access only** or **app + enterprise access**.

Upon <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorizing</Link> one of these applications in the Box Admin Console, a
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> (`AutomationUser_xxxx_@boxdevedition.com`)
representing the application is automatically generated. This account is an
Admin-like user that can only be accessed via the API and can then be used to
create user’s of the application called <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App Users</Link>. If an application
only needs to interact with the Service Account and App Users, or with content
they own or are collaborated on, **app only access** must be selected. If an
application needs to interact with
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">managed users</Link> and their existing Box content, app + enterprise access must
be selected.

As an example, take a JWT application that has the read/write scopes,
app only access, and is properly <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorized</Link> in the Admin console. If a
managed user obtains an Access Token and makes an API call to a folder they own,
that call would receive a 400 error with the message “Cannot obtain token based
on the enterprise configuration for your app”. Even though the user has access
to the content, the correct scopes are enabled and the app is authorized,
the selected application access only allows the application to interact with the
Service Account and App Users.

## Enterprise settings and authorization

There are a few enterprise settings to be aware of when it comes to the Box API.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Global Integration Settings" />
</Frame>

Platform applications fall into two categories: published and unpublished.
Published applications are found in the [Box Integrations][appcenter]. Box
Admins decide whether published and unpublished application are enabled by
default and therefore can be used without approval. The status of these settings
determines what actions are necessary to successfully <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorize</Link> an
application for use.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Admin Console Apps Tab" />
</Frame>

Regardless of the settings above, in order for an application leveraging
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> or <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link> to be used by an enterprise, an
Admin must explicitly <Link href="/guides/authorization">authorize</Link> it via the Box Admin console. The
authorization is a snapshot in time.  This means that if a developer revisits
the Developer Console and changes the configuration, the Admin must re-authorize
the application in order for generated Access Tokens to reflect the changes.

If the setting **Disable unpublished apps by default** is turned on, an Admin
must also explicitly <Link href="/guides/authorization">enable</Link> any application leveraging
<Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2">OAuth 2.0</Link> as the authentication method.

Additionally, if this setting is turned on, Server Authenticated apps will also
enablement.

# Application Flow
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/terms-of-service/flow



In general, applications use Terms of Services as follows.

When an application, authenticated as a user, tries to access an item in Box that
requires the user to have accepted the relevant Terms of Service it receives a
`TERMS_OF_SERVICE_REQUIRED`  error.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "status": 400,
  "code": "terms_of_service_required",
  "context_info": {
    "tos_id": 261346614,
    "tos_user_status_id": 4562456
  },
  "help_url": "/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors/",
  "message": "User must accept custom terms of service before action can be taken",
  "request_id": "ADF7722DD"
}
```

The application requests the Terms of Service's information by calling
<Link href="/reference/get-terms-of-services-id">`GET /terms_of_services/:id`</Link>.

```json theme={null}
{
  "id": 261346614,
  "type": "terms_of_service",
  "status": "enabled",
  "enterprise": {
    "id": 11446498,
    "type": "enterprise",
    "name": "Acme Inc."
  },
  "tos_type": "managed",
  "text": "By using this service, you agree to ...",
  "created_at": "2012-12-12T10:53:43-08:00",
  "modified_at": "2012-12-12T10:53:43-08:00"
}
```

The application can then show the text from the Terms of Service to the user.

When the user accepts or rejects the terms, it makes a call to either
<Link href="/reference/put-terms-of-service-user-statuses-id">`PUT /terms_of_service_user_statuses/:id`</Link> or
<Link href="/reference/post-terms-of-service-user-statuses">`POST /terms_of_service_user_statuses`</Link> depending on if the initial
error returned a `tos_user_status_id` in the response.

## Server authentication and acting on behalf of users

Applications using JWT, Client Credentials Grant (CCG), or OAuth 2.0 may act as
a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">service account</Link>, an <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App User</Link>, or a managed user.
Terms of Service enforcement depends on which user is in context for the API

### Accepting Terms of Service programmatically

When a managed user has not accepted Managed Terms of Service, most API calls
made on their behalf return `terms_of_service_required`. To resolve this
without requiring the user to sign in to the Box web application:

1. Obtain a server authentication access token (JWT or CCG).
2. Set the <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/as-user">`As-User`</Link> header to the managed user's ID so subsequent
   requests run in that user's context.
3. Call the Terms of Service endpoints, which remain available even when Terms
   of Service acceptance is outstanding:
   * <Link href="/reference/get-terms-of-services-id">`GET /terms_of_services/:id`</Link> to retrieve the terms text
   * <Link href="/reference/post-terms-of-service-user-statuses">`POST /terms_of_service_user_statuses`</Link> or
     <Link href="/reference/put-terms-of-service-user-statuses-id">`PUT /terms_of_service_user_statuses/:id`</Link> to accept or reject
4. Retry the original API call.

An admin cannot accept Managed Terms of Service for another user without using
the `As-User` header to act as that user. Acceptance must be recorded for the
user who is subject to the Terms of Service.


# Find Terms for Collaboration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/terms-of-service/for-colaboration



Information about the Terms of Service that is in effect for any
<Link href="/reference/resources/collaboration">Collaboration</Link> can be inspected by calling the
<Link href="/reference/get-collaborations-id">`GET /collaborations/:id`</Link> API and passing the query
parameter `fields=acceptance_requirements_status`.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/2342342?fields=acceptance_requirements_status \
    -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```

The resulting response will include a new `acceptance_requirements` object that
includes a mini `terms_of_service` object.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "collaboration",
  "id": 2342342>,
  "acceptance_requirements": {
    "terms_of_service": {
      "type": "terms_of_service",
      "id": 6766677
    }
  }
}
```

<Info>
  This information is only returned if the Terms of Service for external users is
  enabled for the enterprise, and the user making the request has the
  <Link href="/guides/security/terms-of-service/permissions">permission</Link> to see the Terms of Service. This holds true for
  both admin and end users, even though admins can generally view Terms of User
  information via the API even if the specific Terms of Service type is
  turned off.
</Info>

If the Terms of Service type is not enabled, the API will return an empty
result.

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "collaboration",
  "id": 2342342>,
  "acceptance_requirements": {
    "terms_of_service": null
  }
}
```

<Info>
  The `terms_of_service` information is returned within the
  `acceptance_requirements` even if they have already been accepted by the user.
</Info>


# Terms of Service
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/terms-of-service/index



The Box API allows administrators to configure Terms of Services for working on
Box, and for users to accept & re-accept Terms of Services for custom
applications.

## Terminology

### Terms of Services

A Terms of Service is a enterprise-level record that represent the conditions
within which all users are allowed to work with an enterprise's data in Box.

There are currently two types of Terms of Service for any enterprise that can be
enabled independently. The **Managed Terms of Service** can be
enabled for the enterprise's own users, where the **External Terms of Service**
can be enabled for users from other enterprises that collaborated in on the
primary enterprise's data.

### Who is subject to Managed Terms of Service?

When Managed Terms of Service is enabled for an enterprise, it applies to
**login-capable managed users** in that enterprise. These are users who can sign
in to Box (for example, standard managed users with credentials).

The following user types are **not** subject to Managed Terms of Service, even
though they belong to the enterprise:

| User type                                                                                           | Managed Terms of Service required? |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Admin/Co-Admin and Managed user (can log in to Box)                                                 | **Yes**                            |
| <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service account</Link> (Automation User) | **No**                             |
| <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App User</Link>                                 | **No**                             |

Service accounts and App Users are API-only, headless users. They are exempt
from Managed Terms of Service enforcement. The Admin Console setting for
managed users refers to these login-capable users, not every enterprise member.

## Terms of Service User Statuses

A Terms of Service User Status represents the status of the Terms of Service
acceptance for a specific user. There is exactly one Terms of Service User
Status for any given combination of Terms of Service and a user.

There are multiple Terms of Service User Statuses for any Terms of Service,
specifically one for each each user.

There could be multiple Terms of Service User Statuses for a given user. The
user could accept or reject multiple External Terms of Services for different
enterprises they have been collaborated into, in addition to accepting or
rejecting their own enterprise’s Managed Terms of Service.

## APIs

Applications that are authenticated as a Box Admin that has the **Edit settings
for your company** permissions can view, create, and edit Terms of Services for
their enterprise via the API.

* <Link href="/reference/get-terms-of-services-id">`GET /terms_of_services/:id`</Link>: To get the information for a specific Terms of Service
* <Link href="/reference/get-terms-of-services">`GET /terms_of_services`</Link>: To get a list of all the Terms of Services used within an enterprise, either for managed or external users.
* <Link href="/reference/post-terms-of-services">`POST /terms_of_services`</Link>: To create Terms of Service settings for either an external or managed user.
* <Link href="/reference/put-terms-of-services-id">`PUT /terms_of_services/:id`</Link>:
  To update a specific Terms of Service setting

Additionally, application can view and accept Terms of Services for a regular
user via the API.

* <Link href="/reference/get-terms-of-service-user-statuses">`GET /terms_of_service_user_statuses`</Link>: To get a list of all the Terms of Services for a user
* <Link href="/reference/post-terms-of-service-user-statuses">`POST /terms_of_service_user_statuses`</Link>: To accept or reject a specific Terms of Service for the first time
* <Link href="/reference/put-terms-of-service-user-statuses-id">`PUT /terms_of_service_user_statuses/:id`</Link>: To accept or reject a specific Terms of Service that had been previously accepted or rejected.

## Scopes

The following scopes should be granted to the application in order to take the
outlined actions.

* **Manage Enterprise Properties**: Required to enable or edit the enterprise's settings for Terms of Services as well as to view them for external users.
* **Manage Users**: Required to accept Terms of Services for other users.


# Permissions
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/security/terms-of-service/permissions



The following is a list of permissions users, admins, and co-admins need to have
when working with Terms of Services and Terms of Service Statuses.

## Terms of Service

An end user is considered subject to Terms of Service when:

* User belongs to or is collaborated into an enterprise that has a Terms of Service enabled
* The type of Terms of Service reflects the user's relationship to the Enterprise
  * A managed Terms of Service for a user that is part of the same enterprise
  * An external Terms of Service for users collaborating into the enterprise

For **Managed** Terms of Service specifically, the user must also be a
login-capable managed user. <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service accounts</Link> and
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#app-user">App Users</Link> are headless users and are not subject to Managed Terms
of Service, even when they belong to the enterprise.

Terms of Service settings can be viewed by an end user if:

* The user is subject to a  Terms of Service; and
* The Terms of Service Type is enabled on the enterprise

A Terms of Service's settings can be viewed by an enterprise admin or co-admin
if:

* They have **View settings for your company** permissions
* The application has the **Manage enterprise properties** scope enabled
* The Terms of Service belongs to their enterprise

Terms of Service settings can be edited by an enterprise admin or co-admin if:

* They have **Edit settings for your company** permissions
* The application has the **Manage enterprise properties** scope enabled
* The Terms of Service belongs to their enterprise

Enterprise admins and co-admins can view, create, and edit Terms of Service
settings for both external and managed Terms of Service without having accepted
managed the managed Terms of Service for their own enterprise.

## Terms of Service User Status

Terms of Service User Status can be viewed and edited by an end user if:

* The User Status belongs to the end user
* The Terms of Service type is enabled on the enterprise
* The end user is subject to the Terms of Service

Terms of Service User Statuses belonging to other users can be viewed by
enterprise admins and co-admins if:

* They have **Manager users** permissions
* The application has the **Manage users** scope enabled
* The Terms of Service belongs to their enterprise
* They have accepted the managed Terms of Service for their own enterprise, if applicable

Terms of Service User Status belonging to other users can be edited by
enterprise admins and co-admins if:

* They have **Manager users** permissions
* The application has the **Manage users** scope enabled
* The application has the <Link href="/guides/authentication/oauth2/as-user">**As-User**</Link> scope enabled
* The end user is subject to the Terms of Service
* The end user is not an admin or co-admin
* The Terms of Service belongs to their enterprise
* They have accepted the managed Terms of Service for their own enterprise, if applicable

An end user cannot accept, reject, view external Terms of Service settings for
an enterprise they are collaborating into until the end user accepts the managed
Terms of service for their own enterprise, where applicable. Trying to do so
will result in a `TERMS_OF_SERVICE_REQUIRED` error.


# Bulk delete external users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/bulk-delete-external-users



You can remove up to 100 external users from your enterprise using API.
This API endpoint removes access to all types of content you invited the
listed external users to collaborate on.

To remove the external users, call the
\[`POST /external_users/post_external_users_submit_delete_job`].

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -X -L POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/external_users/external_users_submit_delete_job" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -d '{
        "external_users":
          "type": "array"
          "description": "List of external users to delete."
          "items":
            "$ref: #/components/schemas/UserReference"
        }'
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This job runs in the background, and sends a completion report listing deletion status for each user when it's finished.

<Note>
  When you delete external users, their pending collaboration invites are not deleted.

# Create App User
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/create-app-user



App Users are programmatic user accounts that can be created by apps
using server authentication
(<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup">JWT</Link> or
<Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials/client-credentials-setup">Client Credentials Grant</Link>).
They represent users, groups, or processes behind the scenes in your
application without requiring a Box account to log in.

Before you can create App Users, your JWT or CCG application must be
<Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorized</Link> in
the Admin Console, which generates a
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>. You
use the Service Account's access token to create App Users through the API.

App Users can only be accessed through the Box APIs and don't have credentials
to log in to `box.com` directly.

## Common App User Patterns

Typically app users are created for a number of different patterns:

* To represent a single application user or group of users without a `box.com` account.
* To represent an application process, such as having the app user monitor all events within an enterprise.
* To provide the application with the ability to completely control the file and folder structure of a user account without the possibility of that content being modified through the `box.com` web app.

## Creating a New App User

To generate a new app user, the minimal information that will be required will
be a name for the app user.

<CodeGroup>
  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo = BoxUser.createAppUser(api, "A User");
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  new_app_user = client.create_user('App User 123', login=None)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  var userParams = new BoxUserRequest()
  {
      Name = "App User 12",
      ExternalAppUserId = "external-id",
      IsPlatformAccessOnly = true
  };
  BoxUser newUser = await client.UsersManager.CreateEnterpriseUserAsync(userParams);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

To see all available optional parameters that may be set when creating an app
user, see the <Link href="/reference/post-users">create user endpoint</Link>.

<Note>
  Before you can make any changes to the newly created account, you need to
  click the link you receive in the confirmation email.
</Note>

Once the app user is created a user object will be returned. Within the user
object is an ID for the app user, which may be used to make API requests to
modify the user in the future.

# Create Managed User
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/create-managed-user



To generate a new managed user, the minimal information that will be required
will be a name and an email address for the managed user.

<Note>
  The email address supplied when creating a managed user must be unique. It
  cannot already be associated with an existing Box user.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/users" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "login": "ceo@example.com",
         "name": "Aaron Levie"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.users.createUser({
    name: userName,
    login: userLogin,
    isPlatformAccessOnly: true,
  } satisfies CreateUserRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.users.create_user(user_name, login=user_login, is_platform_access_only=True)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Users.CreateUserAsync(requestBody: new CreateUserRequestBody(name: userName) { Login = userLogin, IsPlatformAccessOnly = true });
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.users.createUser(requestBody: CreateUserRequestBody(name: userName, login: userLogin, isPlatformAccessOnly: true))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUsers().createUser(new CreateUserRequestBody.Builder(userName).login(userLogin).isPlatformAccessOnly(true).build())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxUser.Info createdUserInfo = BoxUser.createEnterpriseUser(api, "user@example.com", "A User");
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  new_user = client.create_user('Temp User', 'user@example.com')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  var userParams = new BoxUserRequest()
  {
      Name = "Example User",
      Login = "user@example.com"
  };
  BoxUser newUser = await client.UsersManager.CreateEnterpriseUserAsync(userParams);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  client.enterprise.addUser(

  	});
  ```
</CodeGroup>

To see all available optional parameters that may be set when creating an app
user, see the <Link href="/reference/post-users">create user endpoint</Link>.

<Note>
  Before you can make any changes to the newly created account, you need to
  click the link you receive in the confirmation email.
</Note>

A user object will be returned from the create user request. Within the user
object is an ID for the managed user, which may be used to make API requests to
modify the user in the future.

Once a new managed user is created the email address used will receive an email
from Box asking them to create a password for the account. The account will be
in a `pending` state until that action has taken place.

<Note>
  For security reasons passwords cannot be supplied when creating a new managed
  user

# Delete User
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/delete-user



The process for deleting both app and managed users is the same. To delete a
user account, supply the user ID for the account that should be
removed.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/users/12345" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.users.deleteUserById(user.id);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.users.delete_user_by_id(user.id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Users.DeleteUserByIdAsync(userId: user.Id);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.users.deleteUserById(userId: user.id)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUsers().deleteUserById(user.getId())
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxUser user = new BoxUser(api, "0");
  user.delete(false, false);
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  user_id = '33333'
  client.user(user_id).delete(force=True)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  await client.UsersManager.DeleteEnterpriseUserAsync("44444", notify: false, force: true);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Delete the user even if they still have files in their account
  client.users.delete('123', {force: true})
      .then(() => {
          // deletion succeeded — no value returned
      });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

There are also two optional parameters that may be set when deleting a user
account:

* force: Whether the user should be deleted even if the account still has content in it.
* notify: Whether the user will receive a notification that the account was deleted.

<Note>
  The delete user request will fail if the user account still has content in
  it. To resolve this, either
  <Link href="/guides/users/deprovision/transfer-folders">transfer all files or folders</Link>
  to another account or use the optional `force` parameter.
</Note>

# Deprovision Users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/deprovision/index



Part of regular Box enterprise maintenance is removing accounts for users that
are no longer active in your enterprise. When removing a user from your
enterprise, you'll need to move all content owned by the user into another
account before deleting the user account.

<Note>
  The delete user request will fail if the user account still has content in
  it. An optional `force` parameter is available in the API call, which will
  force delete the user account along with all content in the account.
</Note>

The standard best practice when decommissioning a user account is to move all
content owned by that user into another admin level account or into the
application service account. Once moved, you can transfer ownership of the
content to a different user or collaborate a different user on the content if
needed.

## Deprovisioning Example

Use the following code samples to transfer a user's content and then delete the
user. When content is being transferred, a new folder is created in the
destination user's root folder following this pattern:
`employee_email@email.com - employee_name's Files and Folders`

# Transfer Files & Folders
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/deprovision/transfer-folders



As part of user account deprovisioning, a common requirement is to transfer all
files and folders that are stored within the user account to another user
account or into a location for long term storage, such as into the service
account.

There are two general methods that are employed to accomplish this within Box:

* Using the direct <Link href="/reference/put-users-id-folders-0">transfer owned folders</Link> API, which will move all content from one user directly to another.
* Using the collaboration transfer method to change ownership of one file or folder at a time from one user to another.

<Note>
  Files owned by a user will be inaccessible while they are being transferred.
  This also means that any shared content owned by the user may be inaccessible
  during the move.

  Depending on the volume of content, this operation may take a significant
  amount of time.
</Note>

## Transfer Owned Folders API Method

The <Link href="/reference/put-users-id-folders-0">transfer owned folders endpoint</Link> is
designed to move the entirety of content owned by one user over to another user.

<Note>
  The transfer owned folders API is performed as a synchronous process, which
  might lead to a slow response when the source user has a large number of
  items in all of its folders.
</Note>

To call the transfer endpoint, you will supply the user ID to transfer from and
the user ID to transfer to.

## Collaboration Transfer Method

The collaboration transfer method is a process that uses the
<Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">collaboration endpoint</Link> to change the
ownership of a single file or folder from one user to another instantaneously.

<Note>
  This method will perform an instantaneous transfer of ownership of a single
  file or folder, but **cannot** be used to transfer the root (all files and
  folders) from one user to another.
</Note>

The general process, between `transfer_from_user` to `transfer_to_user`, will
follow these steps:

### Add Transfer To User as Co-Owner

The first step is to add the `transfer_to_user` account as a collaborator with
`co-owner` access on the file or folder that should be transferred.

Making the call as the `transfer_from_user` account, add the `transfer_to_user`
as a co-owner using the
<Link href="/reference/post-collaborations">add collaboration endpoint</Link>.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -H "content-type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "item": {
           "type": "file",
           "id": "11446498"
         },
         "accessible_by": {
           "type": "user",
           "login": "user@example.com"
         },
         "role": "editor"
       }'
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.createCollaboration({
    item: {
      type: 'folder' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField,
      id: folder.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField,
    accessibleBy: {
      type: 'user' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField,
      id: user.id,
    } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField,
    role: 'editor' as CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField,
  } satisfies CreateCollaborationRequestBody);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.user_collaborations.create_collaboration(
      CreateCollaborationItem(type=CreateCollaborationItemTypeField.FOLDER, id=folder.id),
      CreateCollaborationAccessibleBy(
          type=CreateCollaborationAccessibleByTypeField.USER, id=user.id
      ),
      CreateCollaborationRole.EDITOR,
  )
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.CreateCollaborationAsync(requestBody: new CreateCollaborationRequestBody(item: new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField() { Type = CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.Folder, Id = folder.Id }, accessibleBy: new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.User) { Id = user.Id }, role: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.Editor));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.userCollaborations.createCollaboration(requestBody: CreateCollaborationRequestBody(item: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.folder, id: folder.id), accessibleBy: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField(type: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.user, id: user.id), role: CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.editor))
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUserCollaborations().createCollaboration(new CreateCollaborationRequestBody(new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemField.Builder().type(CreateCollaborationRequestBodyItemTypeField.FOLDER).id(folder.getId()).build(), new CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByField.Builder(CreateCollaborationRequestBodyAccessibleByTypeField.USER).id(user.getId()).build(), CreateCollaborationRequestBodyRoleField.EDITOR))
  ```

  ```java Java v5 theme={null}
  BoxCollaborator user = new BoxUser(api, "user-id")
  BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(api, "folder-id");
  folder.collaborate(user, BoxCollaboration.Role.EDITOR);
  ```

  ```python Python v4 theme={null}
  from boxsdk.object.collaboration import CollaborationRole

  user = client.user(user_id='11111')
  collaboration = client.folder(folder_id='22222').collaborate(user, CollaborationRole.VIEWER)

  collaborator = collaboration.accessible_by
  item = collaboration.item
  has_accepted = 'has' if collaboration.status == 'accepted' else 'has not'
  print(f'{collaborator.name} {has_accepted} accepted the collaboration to folder "{item.name}"')
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  // collaborate folder 11111 with user 22222
  BoxCollaborationRequest requestParams = new BoxCollaborationRequest()
  {
      Item = new BoxRequestEntity()
      {
          Type = BoxType.folder,
          Id = "11111"
      },
      Role = "editor",
      AccessibleBy = new BoxCollaborationUserRequest()
      {
          Type = BoxType.user,
          Id = "22222"
      }
  };
  BoxCollaboration collab = await client.CollaborationsManager.AddCollaborationAsync(requestParams);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  // Invite user 123456 to collaborate on folder 987654
  client.collaborations.createWithUserID('123456', '987654', client.collaborationRoles.EDITOR)
  	.then(collaboration => {
  		/* collaboration -> {
  			type: 'collaboration',
  			id: '11111',
  			created_by: 
  			{ type: 'user',
  				id: '22222',
  				name: 'Inviting User',
  				login: 'inviter@example.com' },
  			created_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			modified_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			expires_at: null,
  			status: 'accepted',
  			accessible_by: 
  			{ type: 'user',
  				id: '123456',
  				name: 'Collaborator User',
  				login: 'collaborator@example.com' },
  			role: 'editor',
  			acknowledged_at: '2016-11-16T21:33:31-08:00',
  			item: 
  			{ type: 'folder',
  				id: '987654',
  				sequence_id: '0',
  				etag: '0',
  				name: 'Collaborated Folder' } }
  		*/
  	});
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Fetch Collaboration ID as Transfer To User

The next step is make a request to get the collaboration information, making
the request as the `transfer_to_user` account. The collaboration object
returned will include a collaboration ID, which is used for the last step.

Making the call as the `transfer_to_user` account, get the collaboration on the
file or folder ID being transferred, using the
<Link href="/reference/get-collaborations-id">get collaboration endpoint</Link>. Capture the
collaboration ID.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/1234" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.getCollaborationById(collaborationId);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.user_collaborations.get_collaboration_by_id(collaboration_id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.GetCollaborationByIdAsync(collaborationId: collaborationId);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.userCollaborations.getCollaborationById(collaborationId: collaborationId)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUserCollaborations().getCollaborationById(collaborationId)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.GetCollaborationByIdAsync(collaborationId: collaborationId);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.getCollaborationById(collaborationId);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### Remove Transfer From User as Owner

The final step is to remove the `transfer_from_user` account as an owner of the
file or folder, which is accomplished using the
<Link href="/reference/delete-collaborations-id">delete collaboration endpoint</Link>.

Making call as the `transfer_to_user` account, remove the `transfer_from_user`
as a collaborator on the file or folder.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations/1234" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.deleteCollaborationById(collaborationId);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.user_collaborations.delete_collaboration_by_id(collaboration_id)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.DeleteCollaborationByIdAsync(collaborationId: collaborationId);
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.userCollaborations.deleteCollaborationById(collaborationId: collaborationId)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getUserCollaborations().deleteCollaborationById(collaborationId)
  ```

  ```cs .NET v6 theme={null}
  await client.UserCollaborations.DeleteCollaborationByIdAsync(collaborationId: collaborationId);
  ```

  ```javascript Node v4 theme={null}
  await client.userCollaborations.getCollaborationById(collaborationId);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The file or folder is now owned by the `transfer_to_user` account, and the
`transfer_from_user` account no longer has access.

# Users overview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/index



The Box API supports a variety of users, ranging from real employees logging in
with their Managed User account, to applications using App Users to drive
powerful automation workflows.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/getting-started/users/")} title="Learn more about user types" />

## (De-)Provision Users

Managing the onboarding and offboarding of employees, customers, and users is a
common requirement in the lifespan of a Box application.

During account provisioning the main tasks that will be needed will be:

* How to create new app and managed user accounts to represent the users.
* How to instantiate the new user account with common or repeatable folder and file architectures.

During account deprovisioning the main tasks that will be needed will be:

* How to transfer files and folders from one account to another for offboarding.
* How to delete user accounts.


# Create Architecture Skeleton
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/provision/architecture



Our first requirement is to copy general files and folders into each individual
user's root folder on account creation. This problem has been solved within
standard Linux distributions through a directory called `/etc/skel`,
which we'll emulate with a Box specific solution here. When adding a new user in
Linux, the files and folders within `/etc/skel` are copied to the new user's
home directory.

When creating a
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup">JWT-based Box application</Link>, a
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> is created
within the Box Enterprise. A Service Account is similar in functionality to a
co-admin within a Box Enterprise, and most useful to this use case, can own,
copy, and collaborate other users on files and folders. More importantly, you
don't have to use a Service Account strictly for developing platform applications
for users, and instead, can use a Service Account in more of an automation
capacity.

<Info>
  **Platform app requirements**

  When creating your JWT-based custom Box application for this recipe, you'll
  need to enable the following scopes: **Manage users**, **Manage groups**,
  **Perform Actions as Users**, and **Generate User Access Tokens**.

  See <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup">JWT Application Setup</Link> for
  more information on creating a JWT-based Box application and the scopes in a
  Box application.
</Info>

We'll start by creating the `etc` and `skel` folders and granting ownership of
the folders to the Service Account.

# Provision Users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/provision/index



When setting up a brand new Box user account, a common need is to have that new
account be populated with standard folders, collaborations, and group
associations.

Typically there are some common questions that may be asked about the user
account to determine when standard setup may be needed for the account:

* Will the user need access to standard company files or folders immediately?
* Are collaborations associated individually or through groups? If through a group association, are there any standard groups that the user should be added to?
* Should the user be assigned any tasks to complete?
* Would any instructional comments on any files be helpful?

<Danger>
  **New User Password Resets and Email Confirmation**

  You may experience some errors when creating users and immediately trying to
  take actions with that user through the API. For example, a common error to
  receive is `user_email_confirmation_required` or `password_reset_required`.
  These kinds of errors may block some actions within the API, but you can
  still add the user as a collaborator on folders, add the user to groups, etc.
</Danger>

## Sample Overview

In this scenario we'll focus on provisioning a new
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#managed-users">Box Managed User</Link>, as there
are very different considerations when provisioning Box App User accounts.

We'll start with solving the most repeatable aspects of
provisioning a user's account, creating a general folder and file structure
that everyone will have on first login, using groups to control access to
shared files and folders for users.


# Populate Content

Once the architecture files have been defined through the `etc/skel`
structure in your service account, you can now use the following script to copy
anything under the `skel` directly to the new user's root directory.

# Setup Shared Folders
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/users/provision/shared-folders



As a final step to manage access to shared folders, we'll create the folder
structures needed within the service account. Then, groups will map to the
needed permissions based on user types and level of access needed to those
folders. We'll use a Market Department as an example.

Working from this sample folder structure, we can use the folder tree creator
code we used earlier to create the `etc/skel` structure. That code may be
modified to make your own structure.

Once created, we'll need the IDs of the folders that each group will need to
access. For example, Marketing managers will likely have `editor` access to all
folders within the Marketing Department. On the other hand, Marketing project
managers will likely need `editor` access to only the `Projects` folder. We'll
create two groups and give them these permissions.

# Create webhooks (v1)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/v1/create-v1



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

V1 webhooks are created in the [Developer Console][devconsole] by following
the steps below.

1. Navigate to your application in the [Developer Console][devconsole]
2. Select the **Webhooks** tab.
3. Click the **Create a new Webhook** button.
4. Fill in the form, including event triggers, an endpoint URL and one or more callback parameters.
5. Click **Save Webhook**.

<Warning>
  **Callback parameters**

  Unlike the V2 Webhooks, these manual webhooks need to be configured with the
  data you'd like. This data will be sent as a query string either in the body
  or as a query parameter, for example `name=Contract.pdf&type=file`.
</Warning>

## Developer Mode

By default V1 webhooks only work for users that are listed as application
collaborators in the **General Settings** tab in the Developer Console. To
enable a webhooks for all users, please [contact support][support].

## Enabling a webhook

After creating a webhook, the application must be added to the user's account
to begin use.

To obtain the URL to add the app, follow the directions below for OAuth 2.0
authentication apps:

1. Navigate to the **Integrations** tab for the application in the [Developer Console][devconsole].
2. Click **Submit My App**. Do not worry, you will not be completing the submission process!
3. At the bottom of the page, click **Preview**.
4. Click **Add**

<Warning>
  For all other authentication types, you will need to contact support to
  obtain this URL.
</Warning>

    */
   });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Note>
  Webhooks do cascade, so if a webhook is set on a parent folder,
  it will also monitor sub-folders for the selected triggers.
</Note>

## Ownership

It is best practice and strongly recommended to create webhooks with a
<Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>, or user that will not be deleted, to avoid potential
issues with webhook delivery due to loss of access to content.

Similar to files and folders, webhooks are owned by a user. If a user who owns a
webhook is deleted, they will lose access to all files and folders that they
previously had access to. Their webhooks will begin to fail validation, but the
webhook service will continue to send events and require retries.

## Webhook address

The notification URL specified in the `address` parameter must be a valid URL
that you specify when you create a webhook. Every time one of the triggers is
activated, this URL is called.

The notification URL must use standard port `443` and should return
an HTTP status in the range of `200` to `299` within 30 seconds of receiving
the webhook payload.

## Webhook triggers

The triggers are a list of strings that specify the events which cause the
webhook to fire. For example, if you want the webhook to be triggered
when a user uploads a file, use `FILE.UPLOADED`.

You can find a list of available triggers <Link href="/guides/webhooks/triggers">in this guide</Link>.

# Delete webhooks (v2)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/v2/delete-v2



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

You can delete a webhook using the [Developer Console][console] or API.

## Developer Console

To delete a webhook follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to the **Webhooks** tab in the [Developer Console][console].
2. Select the webhook you want to delete by clicking on its ID.
3. Click the **Delete** button.
4. Confirm the action by clicking **Delete** under the warning message.

## API

To remove a webhook from a file or folder, you need to use the
<Link href="/reference/delete-webhooks-id">remove webhook endpoint</Link> with the ID of the webhook. You can
get this value using the <Link href="/reference/get-webhooks">list all webhooks endpoint</Link>.

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE "https://api.box.com/2.0/webhooks/3321123" \
       -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
  ```

  ```typescript Node/TypeScript v10 theme={null}
  await client.webhooks.deleteWebhookById(webhook.id!);
  ```

  ```python Python v10 theme={null}
  client.webhooks.delete_webhook_by_id(webhook.id)
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v10 theme={null}
  await client.Webhooks.DeleteWebhookByIdAsync(webhookId: NullableUtils.Unwrap(webhook.Id));
  ```

  ```swift Swift v10 theme={null}
  try await client.webhooks.deleteWebhookById(webhookId: webhook.id!)
  ```

  ```java Java v10 theme={null}
  client.getWebhooks().deleteWebhookById(webhook.getId())
  ```

  ```py Python v4 theme={null}
  client.webhook(webhook_id='12345').delete()
  print('The webhook was successfully deleted!')
  ```

  ```csharp .NET v6 theme={null}
  await client.WebhooksManager.DeleteWebhookAsync("11111");
  ```

  ```js Node v4 theme={null}
  client.webhooks.delete('1234')
   .then(() => {
    // deletion succeeded — no value returned
   });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Automatic webhook deletion

Using <Link href="/reference/delete-webhooks-id">this</Link> endpoint is not the only way a webhook can be deleted.

The following reasons can cause webhooks to be deleted.

* Deleting a Box application automatically deletes all webhooks associated with it.
* Deleting all active Access Tokens associated with a webhook automatically deletes the webhook. This includes Developer Tokens and password.
* The last successful notification was delivered 30 days ago to the set URL and the period between the last successful notification delivery and the last user trigger event date exceeds 14 days.

  Let's go through a scenario
  in which the user downloads a file. This action
  triggers the webhook to use the set URL to
  delete a shared link.
  The diagram illustrates this scenario, showing
  when the webhook will be deleted.

  <Frame>
    <img alt="Delete webhooks" />
  </Frame>

  * **User event trigger**: when the user initiated the event, for example downloaded a file.
  * **Notification trigger**: when the notification was sent to the webhook, saying that the file was downloaded.
  * **Last notification delivery**: when the webhook sent a message to a specific URL, for example to delete a shared link.

In all of these cases Box sends a webhook payload with the
`WEBHOOK.DELETED` event name to the notification URL. The body of
the payload
includes the following additional information.

```json theme={null}
"additional_info": {
  "reason": "auto_cleanup"
}
```

## Flow

<Frame>
  <div>
    <img alt="Webhook flow" />
  </div>
</Frame>

When an event triggers a webhook for a file or a folder, it makes a HTTP
call to the `address` specified when the webhook was created.
The payload of this call contains some request headers, and a JSON body.

## Payload headers

The payload sent by a webhook has the following Box-specific headers.

| Header                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                   |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `BOX-DELIVERY-ID`         | A unique ID assigned by Box that identifies the delivered webhook payload. When Box retries a webhook this ID will change, while the ID in the payload body remains the same. |
| `BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP`  | An RFC-3339 timestamp that identifies when the payload was sent.                                                                                                              |
| `BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY`   | A <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">signature</Link> created using the primary signature key configured for this webhook.                                        |
| `BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY` | A <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">signature</Link> created using the secondary signature key configured for this webhook.                                      |
| `BOX-SIGNATURE-VERSION`   | Value is always `1`.                                                                                                                                                          |
| `BOX-SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM` | Value is always `HmacSHA256` .                                                                                                                                                |

For example:

```shell theme={null}
BOX-DELIVERY-ID:          673a081b-bb4b-4d45-b4f1-4131a29c1d07
BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP:   2016-07-11T10:10:33-07:00
BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY:    isCeDp7mLR41/MjcSEFLag9bWmpJkgmN80Je4VIESdo=
BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY:  1UbiiKS7/2o5vNIlyMh7e5QGCHq8lflWFgEF+YWBugI=
BOX-SIGNATURE-VERSION:    1
BOX-SIGNATURE-ALGORITHM:  HmacSHA256
USER-AGENT:               Box-WH-Client/0.1
```

<Note>
  We recommend <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">setting up</Link> and <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">verifying signatures</Link>
  of the webhook payloads.
</Note>

<Warning>
  HTTP header names are case insensitive. Your client should convert
  all header names to a standardized lowercase or uppercase format before trying
  to determine the value of a header.
</Warning>

## Payload body

The body of a webhook payload is a JSON object that describes the file or folder
(target) that triggered the webhook, as well as the event that has been
triggered.

| Field        | Description                                                                                                                                                 |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `type`       | Value is always `webhook_event`.                                                                                                                            |
| `id`         | A unique ID assigned by Box that identifies an event. When Box retries a webhook this ID will not change, while the ID in the header changes between calls. |
| `created_at` | The time/date when an event was triggered at.                                                                                                               |
| `trigger`    | The name of the action that triggered an event, for example `FILE.UPLOADED`.                                                                                |
| `webhook`    | The webhook ID for which an event triggered.                                                                                                                |
| `created_by` | The user that triggered an event.                                                                                                                           |
| `source`     | The item that triggered an event, for example the file that was uploaded to the target folder.                                                              |

## Retries

Delivery of a webhook payload fails when Box does not receive a response with a
HTTP status code in the `200` to `299` range within 30 seconds of sending the
payload.

<Note>
  Box will retry webhook deliveries up to 12 times over a period of 2 hours.
  These numbers could be subject to change.

# Webhook limitations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/v2/limitations-v2



## One webhook per item

There's a limit of one webhook for each item (file or folder), each application
and each authenticated user.

Once a webhook is attached to an item, no second webhook can be attached,
even if the second webhook would respond to a different trigger event.

Example: a webhook is set up by `John Doe` to watch
`FILE.UPLOADED` events in a folder with the name `Junk`, for an application
named `CleanupApp`. At that point, no second webhook can
be added to the `Junk` folder by the `CleanupApp` by `John Doe`, even if it
is to trigger for an `FILE.DOWNLOADED` event.

To listen to another event, <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/update-v2">update</Link> the existing webhook or create a
new application.

## 1000 webhooks limit

There is a limit of 1000 webhooks for each application and each user.

To create more webhooks for a user, create another application or
<Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/update-v2">update existing webhooks</Link> to apply to higher levels in the folder tree.

## Notification URL restrictions

The notification URL or `address` for a webhook must be a valid HTTPS URL that
resolves to a valid IP address. It needs to have a certificate signed
by a reputable certificate authority. Box does not support self-signed SSL
certificates.

The IP address of the server must be publicly accessible from the internet and
cannot be a `(*.)box.com` address. The port used in the URL must be the
standard HTTPS port (`443`). Notifications will not be delivered to other ports.

The supported TLS protocol versions are `TLS 1.2` and `TLS 1.3` with FIPS-compliant cipher suites.

## No webhooks on root folder

V2 webhooks cannot be created on the root folder, which is the folder with ID
`0`. Instead, you will need to use a <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v1">v1 webhook</Link>.

<Note>
  When the permissions on an item prevent an action from occurring,
  no notification is sent for the attempted action.
</Note>

## `NO_ACTIVE_SESSION` is set in the webhook payload

If the auth session (access token) for the app you used to create a webhook
expires, that webhook no longer sends events with a full payload. In that
case, the event trigger is `NO_ACTIVE_SESSION`.

### JWT Auth

For webhooks created with the JWT Auth app, the session expires when
you delete the app authorization for this app in the Admin Console.
For more information, see [application authorization guide][app authorization].

### OAuth 2.0

For webhooks created with OAuth 2.0 Auth app, the session expires
when both the access token and the refresh token for the user and app
used for creating that webhook expire.

### Developer token

As the developer token cannot be refreshed and expires after 1 hour,
the event trigger `NO_ACTIVE_SESSION` is set in the webhook payload
after 1 hour.

## Reasons for webhook deletion

The following reasons can cause webhooks to be deleted.

1. Deleting a Box application automatically deletes all webhooks associated with it.
2. Deleting all active Access Tokens associated with a webhook automatically deletes the webhook. This includes Developer Tokens and password.
3. A webhook is automatically deleted if the last successful delivery was 30 days ago and the period between the last successful delivery and the last trigger date is more than 14 days.

In all of these cases Box sends a webhook payload with the
`WEBHOOK.DELETED` event name to the notification URL. The body of the payload
includes the following additional information.

```json theme={null}
"additional_info": {
  "reason": "auto_cleanup"
}
```

# Signature Verification
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2



Webhook signatures help ensure that a webhook payload was sent by Box and was
not tampered with. Signatures greatly reduce the likelihood of
a successful man-in-the-middle or replay attacks.

When signatures are configured, Box generates a cryptographic digest of the
notification's body and attaches it to the header of the webhook payload. When
your application receives the payload, verify the signatures by calculating the
same digest and comparing it to the one received. If the digests do not match,
the payload should not be trusted.

You can achieve an extra level of protection by frequently changing the
signature keys. To enable a smooth transition between the old and new keys,
Box supports two simultaneous signature keys.

## Signature configuration

In order to attach signatures to an application's notifications, you must first
generate signature keys for the application.

To configure your application's keys follow the steps below.

1. Navigate to the application in the developer console.
2. Click on the **Webhooks** tab.
3. Click the **Manage signature keys** button.
4. Click the **Generate Key** button to configure your keys.

Once generating the primary or secondary key, copy the value. You will need
it to verify the webhook payloads. Every webhook will now include a
`BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY` and `BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY` header payload.

## Signature verification with SDKs

Although it is possible to verify signatures manually, methods are provided for
your convenience in the <Link href="/guides/tooling/sdks">official Box SDKs</Link>.

## Manual signature verification

The following steps describe the basics of how to verify a signature.

### Timestamp validation

Check if the timestamp in the `BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP` header of the payload is
not older than ten minutes.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={null}
    var timestamp = headers['BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP'];
    var date = Date.parse(timestamp);
    var expired = Date.now() - date > 10*60*1000;
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={null}
    import dateutil.parser
    import pytz
    import datetime

    timestamp = headers["BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP"]
    date = dateutil.parser.parse(timestamp).astimezone(pytz.utc)

    now = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc)
    delta = datetime.timedelta(minutes=10)
    expiry_date = now - deltaMinutes

    expired = date >= expiry_date
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Calculate HMAC signature

Calculate the HMAC of the payload using either one of the two configured
signatures for the application in the [Developer Console][console].

Ensure you append the bytes of the payload body first, and then the bytes
of the timestamp found in the `BOX-DELIVERY-TIMESTAMP` header.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={null}
    var crypto = require('crypto');

    var primaryKey = '...';
    var secondaryKey = '...';

    var payload = '{"type":"webhook_event"...}';

    var hmac1 = crypto.createHmac('sha256', primaryKey);
    hmac1.update(payload);
    hmac1.update(timestamp);

    var hmac2 = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secondaryKey);
    hmac2.update(payload);
    hmac2.update(timestamp);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={null}
    import hmac
    import hashlib

    primary_key = '...'
    secondary_key = '...'

    payload = "{\"type\":\"webhook_event\"...}"

    bytes = bytes(payload, 'utf-8') + bytes(timestamp, 'utf-8')

    hmac1 = hmac.new(primary_key, bytes, hashlib.sha256).digest()
    hmac2 = hmac.new(secondary_key, bytes, hashlib.sha256).digest()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Base64 Conversion

Convert the HMAC to a `Base64` encoded digest.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={null}
    var digest1 = hmac1.digest('base64');
    var digest2 = hmac2.digest('base64');
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={null}
    import base64

    digest1 = base64.b64encode(hmac1)
    digest2 = base64.b64encode(hmac2)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Signature comparison

Compare the encoded digest with the value of the
`BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY` or `BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY` headers.

Compare the value of the `BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY` header
to the digest created with the primary key, and the value of the
`BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY` header to the digest created with the secondary key.
Make sure to use a timing-safe comparison between signatures to prevent timing attacks.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Node">
    ```js theme={null}
    const crypto = require('crypto');

    function compareSignatures(expectedSignature, receivedSignature) {
        const expectedBuffer = Buffer.from(expectedSignature, 'base64');
        const receivedBuffer = Buffer.from(receivedSignature, 'base64');

        if (expectedBuffer.length !== receivedBuffer.length) {
            return false;
        }

        return crypto.timingSafeEqual(expectedBuffer, receivedBuffer);
    }

    const signature1 = headers['BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY'];
    const signature2 = headers['BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY'];

    const primarySignatureValid = compareSignatures(digest1, signature1)
    const secondarySignatureValid = compareSignatures(digest2, signature2)

    const valid = !expired && (primarySignatureValid || secondarySignatureValid)
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```python theme={null}
    import hmac

    def compare_signatures(expected_signature: Optional[str], received_signature: Optional[str]) -> bool:
        if not expected_signature or not received_signature:
            return False
        if len(expected_signature) != len(received_signature):
            return False
        return hmac.compare_digest(expected_signature, received_signature)

    signature1 = headers["BOX-SIGNATURE-SECONDARY"]
    signature2 = headers["BOX-SIGNATURE-PRIMARY"]

    primary_sig_valid = compare_signatures(digest1, signature1)
    secondary_sig_valid = compare_signatures(digest2, signature2)

    valid = not expired and (primary_sig_valid or secondary_sig_valid)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Warning>
  HTTP header names are case insensitive. Your client should convert
  all header names to a standardized lowercase or uppercase format before trying
  to determine the value of a header.
</Warning>

## Rotate signatures

When enabled, Box sends two signatures with every webhook payload.
Your application can trust a payload as long as at least one of its signatures
is valid. When updating one signature key at a time your application will always
receive a payload with at least one valid signature.

### Rotation steps

These instructions assume that you have already created a primary and secondary
key in the [Developer Console][console] and you are ready to replace either of
them.

By following these steps you can configure your application with two new keys
without any conflicts.

1. Go to the **Webhooks** tab in the [Developer Console][console].
2. Click the **Manage signatures keys**.
3. Click the **Reset** button to change the primary key.
4. Update your application with the new primary key. Your application can still receive notifications with the old primary key, but your webhooks should be processed correctly since the secondary key is still valid.
5. Once you are confident that no webhooks with the old primary key are in-flight, you can update the secondary key using the same process.

# API Basics
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/quick-start/api-basics



## Sign API

The Sign request endpoint is used to create and manage signature requests.
You can create, resend, and cancel signature requests.
You can also list all signature requests and get details
of a specific signature request.

The endpoint is `https://{api.box.com}/2.0/sign_requests`.
The following table lists the operations that you can perform on this endpoint.

| Operation | Endpoint                    | Description                                  |
| --------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| GET       | `/sign_requests`            | List all signature requests.                 |
| GET       | `/sign_requests/:id`        | Get details of a specific signature request. |
| POST      | `/sign_requests`            | Create a signature request.                  |
| POST      | `/sign_requests/:id/resend` | Resend a signature request.                  |
| POST      | `/sign_requests/:id/cancel` | Cancel a signature request.                  |

For full details on the request and response parameters, see the [Sign
request API reference][sign-api-reference].

## Sign templates API

The Sign templates endpoint is used to list and get details of a template.

<Note>
  You can not create, edit, or delete templates using the API. These templates
  are exclusively managed in the Box web application.
</Note>

The endpoint is `https://{api.box.com}/2.0/sign_templates`.
The following table lists the operations that you can perform on this endpoint.

| Operation | Endpoint              | Description                         |
| --------- | --------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| GET       | `/sign_templates`     | List all templates.                 |
| GET       | `/sign_templates/:id` | Get details of a specific template. |

For a full details on the request and response parameters, see the [Sign
template request API reference][sign-api-template-ref].

# Quick start
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/quick-start/index



Get a sense of how the [Box Sign API][api-basics] is structured and how to
create your first signature request.

The Sign API does not follow the traditional CRUD model. You can create,
resend, and cancel signature requests. You can also list all signature requests
and get details of a specific signature request.

Sign Templates API is read-only. You can list all templates and get details of
a specific template.

Once you get a sense of the API, you can create
[your first signature request][quick-start].

[api-basics]: /sign/quick-start/api-basics

[quick-start]: /sign/quick-start/your-first-request


# Your first request
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/quick-start/your-first-request



Imagine that you have a document stored in Box and you want to send it to a
customer for signature. At a minimum your app needs to know what document
to sign, where to store the signed document, and the signer email.

## Creating a signature request

You can use the Box Sign API or one of the available SDKs to create a
signature request. See the example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access token>' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1355143830404",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      prep_needed: bool = False,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )
      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(signer_email)
      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_document_preparation_needed=prep_needed,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      conf = ConfigOAuth()
      client = get_client_oauth(conf)

      # Simple sign a pdf request with preparation
      sign_pdf_prep = sign_doc_single(
          client, SIMPLE_PDF, SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER, SIGNER_A, True
      )

      if sign_pdf_prep.prepare_url is not None:
          open_browser(sign_pdf_prep.prepare_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This will result in a signature request with a prepare document URL
(simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json cURL theme={null}
  {
    "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
    "signers": [
      {
        "email": "requester@example.com",
        "role": "final_copy_reader",
      },
      {
        "email": "signer@example.com",
        "role": "signer",
      }
    ],
    "id": "348decab-48a8-4f2c-9436-8967afebf7bb",

        }
      ],
      "is_ready_for_download": true
    },

## Check the status of the signature request

Creating the signature request is an asynchronous process, and can generate
errors. Your application should check the status of the request before
proceeding, and handle any errors.

A signature request can have the following statuses:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Signature flow" />
</Frame>

* `converting`: The file is converted to a `.pdf` for the signing process once the sign request is sent.
* `error_converting`: An issue occurred while converting the file to a `.pdf`.
* `created`: When the `document_preparation_is_needed` is set to `true`, but the `prepare_url` has not yet been visited.
* `sent`: The request was successfully sent, but no signer has interacted with it.
* `error_sending`: An issue occurred while sending the request.
* `viewed`: The first, or only, signer clicked on **Review document** in the signing email or visited the signing URL.
* `downloaded`: The document was downloaded by the signer.
* `signed`: All signers completed the request.
* `signed and downloaded`: The document was signed and downloaded by the signer.
* `declined`: If any signer declines the request.
* `cancelled`: If the request is cancelled via UI or API.
* `expired`: The date of expiration has passed with outstanding, incomplete signatures.
* `finalizing`: All signers have signed the request, but the final document with signatures and the signing log have not been generated yet.
* `error_finalizing`: The `finalizing` phase did not complete successfully.

## Preparing the document

Depending on your technical use case you may need to prepare the document. In
this specific example, we are signing a PDF, and the Box Sign engine has no
idea where to place the signature pad field or any other inputs. This is why we
used the `is_document_preparation_needed` flag.

If a prepare URL is present, then your application should open the prepare
URL in a browser, where the requester can add the signature pad field and any
other inputs needed for the signer to complete the document.

Once the document is prepared, the requester can send the signature request to
the signer.

This preparation step is not always necessary. Take a look at the [technical
use cases][technical-use-cases] for more information.

## Completing the signature request

The signer then receives an email from Box with a link to the signature
request. The signer can click the link and sign the document.

When the process is completed, both a signature log containing metadata and
the signed document are stored in the destination folder.

Congratulations! You have successfully created your first signature request.

<Note>
  This represents the basic use case for Box Sign. The `create` method has many
  options that you can use to customize your signature request.

  Be sure to check the [request options][request-options], and the
  [technical use cases][technical-use-cases] sections for more
  information.

# 21 CFR Part 11 requests
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/cfr-part-11



[21 CFR Part 11][cfr] is a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation that
defines the criteria for accepting electronic records and electronic signatures
as equivalent to paper records and handwritten signatures. Organizations in
regulated industries, such as life sciences, refer to these requirements as
GxP (good practice) compliance.

You can create and manage both 21 CFR Part 11 and standard signature requests
through the Box Sign API. You can now require 21 CFR Part 11 signatures in your own applications, as well as in Box Automate workflows and the Box for Salesforce integration, rather than only in the Box web app.

<Note>
  Support for 21 CFR Part 11 in Box Sign requires GxP Validation. In addition to GxP Validation, customers must enable 21 CFR Part 11 for specific users and groups within the Admin Console  before they can create `cfr11` requests through the API. To learn more, see [21 CFR Part 11 compliance support][cfr].
</Note>

## Choose a request flow

The `request_flow` field determines whether a request follows the 21 CFR Part 11
or the standard flow. It accepts the following values:

| Value      | Description                                                                        |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cfr11`    | The request follows the 21 CFR Part 11 flow and enforces the related requirements. |
| `standard` | The request follows the standard Box Sign flow.                                    |

The `request_flow` field is optional when you create a request. If you don't
set it, Box selects a default based on your enterprise's admin setting. If you
set a value that your account doesn't have access to, the API returns a
`403 Forbidden` error.

The `request_flow` field is also returned in the response when you
create, retrieve, or list signature requests and templates, so you can
identify which flow each request or template uses.

## Requirements for 21 CFR Part 11 requests

When `request_flow` is `cfr11`, the following requirements apply:

* **Signer login is required.** The `login_required` field on each signer is
  always `true`. If you set `login_required` to `false`, the API returns a
  `400 Bad Request` error.
* **Signature color can't be red.** If you set `signature_color` to `red`, the
  API returns a `400 Bad Request` error. Use `blue` or `black` instead.
* **Each recipient must have valid fields.** Each recipient or recipient group
  must be assigned either no fields, or at least one required signature or
  initials field. For example, you can't create a 21 CFR Part 11 request that has
  only text fields, but you can create one with no placeholders at all.

## Create a 21 CFR Part 11 request

Set `request_flow` to `cfr11` when you
<Link href="/reference/post-sign-requests">create a signature request</Link>.
How Box validates the request depends on whether you provide a template, source
files, or both.

### Create from a template

When you create a request from a template, pass the `template_id` and set
`request_flow` to `cfr11`. Box validates the template's placeholders at request
time against the [21 CFR Part 11 requirements](#requirements-for-21-cfr-part-11-requests).

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "request_flow": "cfr11",
       "template_id": "123075213-af2c8822-3ef2-4952-8557-52d69c2fe9cb",
       "signers": [
         {
           "role": "signer",
           "email": "signer@example.com"
         }
       ],
       "parent_folder": {
         "type": "folder",
         "id": "234102987614"
       }
     }'
```

If the template contains only non-signature fields, the request fails with a
`400 Bad Request` error. See [Error responses](#error-responses).

### Create from source files

When you create a request from `source_files`, you define signature, initials,
and other placeholders directly in the document using [template tags][tags]. Box
extracts these placeholders asynchronously while converting the document, so it
can't validate them at request time. For this reason, the
`is_document_preparation_needed` field becomes **mandatory** for 21 CFR Part 11
requests created from source files. The value you set determines when validation
runs:

| `is_document_preparation_needed` | When validation runs                                                                       |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `true`                           | When you review the document in the Box Sign preparation page, before the request is sent. |
| `false`                          | Automatically, during the asynchronous document conversion after the request is sent.      |

#### Review the document before sending

When you set `is_document_preparation_needed` to `true`, the response includes a
`prepare_url`. Open this URL in a browser to review the document in the Box Sign
preparation page before the request is sent. During preparation, Box:

* Validates signature and initials placeholders.
* Automatically adjusts those placeholders to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements.
* Displays a warning when any placeholder is resized, so you can review the
  changes before sending.

From the preparation page, you can accept the adjustments and send the request,
or cancel it.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "request_flow": "cfr11",
       "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
       "source_files": [
         {
           "type": "file",
           "id": "1358047520478"
         }
       ],
       "signers": [
         {
           "role": "signer",
           "email": "signer@example.com"
         }
       ],
       "parent_folder": {
         "type": "folder",
         "id": "234102987614"
       }
     }'
```

#### Validate during conversion

When you set `is_document_preparation_needed` to `false`, Box validates the
placeholders during the asynchronous document conversion. If validation fails:

* The request moves to the `error` state, with the `error_code` field set to `cfr11_validation_failed`.
* Box emails the requester to report the failure and points them to the API
  documentation.
* You need to revise the file to meet 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and submit a
  new request.

### Create from a template and source files

You can pass both a `template_id` and `source_files`. In this case, the source
files overwrite the template's document, while other information from the
template, such as signers, stays linked to the request. Box validates the
request the same way as when you
[create from source files](#create-from-source-files), so
`is_document_preparation_needed` is mandatory.

## Read CFR Part 11 requests and templates

When you retrieve or list signature requests and templates, the response
includes fields that describe the 21 CFR Part 11 flow and signing details.

| Field                             | Type              | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `request_flow`                    | String            | The flow the request or template uses: `cfr11` or `standard`.                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `signers[].login_required`        | Boolean           | Always `true` when `request_flow` is `cfr11`.                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `signers[].inputs[].reason`       | String, nullable  | The signing reason captured for the input. Populated only for applicable inputs, such as signature or initials fields in a `cfr11` request. `null` otherwise.                                                                              |
| `signers[].inputs[].is_validated` | Boolean, nullable | Whether the signer re-authenticated for the input. `true` after a successful re-authentication, `false` if the signer filled the field but hasn't re-authenticated yet, and `null` for standard requests or inputs where it doesn't apply. |

The following example shows a retrieved 21 CFR Part 11 request:

```json theme={null}
{
  "request_flow": "cfr11",
  "signers": [
    {
      "login_required": true,
      "inputs": [
        {
          "text_value": "John Doe",
          "type": "signature",
          "content_type": "signature",
          "page_index": 0,
          "read_only": false,
          "reason": "I read and approve this document",
          "is_validated": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

<Info>
  You can retrieve, list, cancel, and resend a 21 CFR Part 11 request or template as
  long as you have access to it, even if 21 CFR Part 11 isn't enabled for your
  account. Box verifies permission to use a template when you create a request
  from it, not when you retrieve the template.
</Info>

## Error responses

21 CFR Part 11 requests return the following errors synchronously when validation
fails at request time:

| Scenario                                                      | Status | Reason                |
| ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------- |
| `login_required` is set to `false` for a `cfr11` request.     | `400`  | `invalid_parameter`   |
| `signature_color` is set to `red` for a `cfr11` request.      | `400`  | `invalid_parameter`   |
| A `cfr11` request contains only non-signature fields.         | `400`  | `invalid_template`    |
| The specified `template_id` doesn't exist.                    | `404`  | `not_found`           |
| You don't have permission to use the specified `template_id`. | `404`  | `not_found`           |
| You don't have access to the specified `request_flow`.        | `403`  | `forbidden_by_policy` |

For example, setting `login_required` to `false` returns:

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",
  "code": "bad_request",
  "status": 400,
  "message": "Bad request",
  "request_id": "122afdc1863c8713a175148aa614578ff",
  "context_info": {
    "errors": [
      {
        "name": "login_required",
        "message": "The 'login_required' field cannot be set to false when the request flow is 'cfr11'. Please ensure that 'login_required' is true for 'cfr11' requests.",
        "reason": "invalid_parameter"
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

<Note>
  Placeholder errors for requests created from source files using [template
  tags][tags] aren't returned at request time, because Box extracts placeholders
  asynchronously during document conversion. When this validation fails, the
  request moves to the `error` state with the `error_code` field set to
  `cfr11_validation_failed`. For more information, see
  [Validate during conversion](#validate-during-conversion).
</Note>

## Backward compatibility

Existing requests and templates that were created before 21 CFR Part 11 support was
added to the API are classified automatically. For these items, Box determines
the `request_flow` value based on the user's permissions, so older requests and
templates return a valid `request_flow` when you retrieve them.

# Custom email and notifications
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/custom-email



## Email subject and body

By default, the email sent to the signers contains a link to the document, a
generic subject, and a generic message.

If you are using templates managed within Box, the subject and message body can
be set in the template itself.

However, if you are not using templates, you can still customize the email
messages sent to the signers by passing the `email_subject` and the
`email_message` parameters.

Both parameters accept strings, but the `email_message` parameter
also accepts HTML with some limitations.

Only some HTML tags are allowed. Links included in the message are also
converted to hyperlinks in the email.

The message parameter may contain the following HTML tags:

* `a`, `abbr`, `acronym`, `b`, `blockquote`, `code`, `em`, `i`, `ul`, `li`, `ol`, `strong`

Custom styles on these tags are not allowed.

<Info>
  Be aware that when the text to HTML ratio is too high, the email may end up in
  spam filters or clipped.

  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{

          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single_more_options(

  ) -> SignRequest:
      ...

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          ...

          email_subject=email_subject,

          prep_needed=False,
          email_subject="All we need is your signature to get started",
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Manual notification

By now, you've noticed that the signature request sends an email
notification to the signers by default. This email is sent from a `box.com`
domain and email system.

You can take over the notification process by setting the
`embed_url_external_user_id` parameter to an identifier of your choice for a
specific signer.

By setting this parameter, the signer will not receive an email notification,
and within the signature request, you get back both an `embed_url` and an
`iframeable_embed_url`.

The `embed_url` can be opened directly, so it is suitable for your app to send
it in an email, or by any other notifications system for the signer to open.

The `iframeable_embed_url` is suited to be used with the [Box Embedded Sign
Client][embed], which allows you to embed the Box Sign client on an iframe
within your web app.

For example see this request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash theme={null}
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer fN...dD' \
      --data-raw '{

    "id": "22a990ce-4e24-463b-b2f4-124820fe161a",
  }
  ```

  ```yaml theme={null}
  Simple sign request: 22a990ce-4e24-463b-b2f4-124820fe161a-defddc79c946
    Status: created
    Signers: 2
      final_copy_reader: sender@example.com
      signer: signer@example.com
      embed_url: https://app.box.com/sign/document/...
      iframeable_embed_url: https://app.box.com/embed/sign/document/...
    Prepare url: None
  ```
</CodeGroup>

You can now take the embedded URLs and use your own notification process or
embed the signature client within your own app.

# Redirect URLs
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/custom-urls



Often after signing a document your company might want to redirect the user to
a specific web page like a thank you or an onboarding page. There are two
features to support these requirements.

When the signer completes the signature process, they can be redirected to a
web page. The same can happen when the signer declines the signature request.

We can customize these pages by passing the `redirect_url` and
`decline_redirect_url` parameters.

<img alt="Custom redirect pages" />

For example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "redirect_url": "https://community.box.com/",
        "declined_redirect_url": "/",
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1358047520478",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single_more_options(
      ...

      redirect_url: str = None,
      declined_redirect_url: str = None,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      ...

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          ...

          redirect_url=redirect_url,
          declined_redirect_url=declined_redirect_url,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Sign with redirects
      sign_with_redirects = sign_doc_single_more_options(
          client,
          SIMPLE_PDF,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          SIGNER_A,
          prep_needed=False,
          redirect_url="https://community.box.com/",
          declined_redirect_url="/",
      )
      check_sign_request(sign_with_redirects)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

If you sign you’ll be redirected to our forum page. If you decline you’ll be
redirected to our developer page.


# Extra security (2FA)
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/extra-security



Box Sign enables senders to provide an [additional layer of security][2FA] for their signature requests and reusable templates. You can require signers to verify their identity through CAC/PIV smart card authentication, SMS multifactor authentication, or Box account login. A password can be added alongside any of these verification methods for an extra layer of protection.

<Frame>
  <img alt="2FA Signature request" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  You can add the additional layer of security in a template or when
  you create a signature request.
</Note>

## Verification method (recommended)

The `verification_method` property on the `signer` object provides a unified
way to configure signer verification when you create a sign request. This
approach is recommended for new integrations because it uses a consistent
structure across all verification types. Set the `type` field to specify
which method to use.

Supported types:

| Type      | Description                                                                         |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `cac_piv` | Requires the signer to verify with a CAC/PIV smart card.                            |
| `phone`   | Requires the signer to complete SMS verification. Include the `phone_number` field. |
| `login`   | Requires the signer to log in to their Box account before signing.                  |

When you query a sign request or sign template, the `verification_method`
property on each signer shows which verification method is set. A `null`
value means the signer doesn't need to complete verification.

<Info>
  If you set both `verification_method` and a legacy verification property
  (such as `login_required` or `verification_phone_number`) on the same
  signer, `verification_method` takes precedence. The API ignores the
  legacy property.
</Info>

### CAC/PIV smart card verification

To require a signer to verify their identity with a CAC/PIV smart card,
set `verification_method` on the signer to `{ "type": "cac_piv" }`.

<Warning>
  Your enterprise must have CAC/PIV permissions enabled to use smart card
  authentication. If the enterprise does not have the required permissions,
  the API returns a `403 Forbidden` error. Please contact your account team to learn more about the CAC/PIV smart card authentication.
</Warning>

<Info>
  If the sign request has multiple signers, you must provide a signing
  order when using `cac_piv` as the verification method. For a single
  signer, signing order is not required.
</Info>

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
    --data-raw '{
      "parent_folder": {
        "id": "234102987614",
        "type": "folder"
      },
      "source_files": [
        {
          "id": "1358047520478",
          "type": "file"
        }
      ],
      "signers": [
        {
          "email": "signer@example.com",
          "role": "signer",
          "verification_method": {
            "type": "cac_piv"
          }
        }
      ]
    }'
```

### SMS verification

To require SMS verification, set `verification_method` on the signer to
`{ "type": "phone", "phone_number": "<phone_number>" }`. The phone number
must include a country code, prefixed with either `+` or `00`
(for example, `+15551232190` or `0015551232190`).

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
    --data-raw '{
      "parent_folder": {
        "id": "234102987614",
        "type": "folder"
      },
      "source_files": [
        {
          "id": "1358047520478",
          "type": "file"
        }
      ],
      "signers": [
        {
          "email": "signer@example.com",
          "role": "signer",
          "verification_method": {
            "type": "phone",
            "phone_number": "+15551232190"
          }
        }
      ]
    }'
```

### Login verification

To require the signer to log in to their Box account before signing, set
`verification_method` on the signer to `{ "type": "login" }`. This is the
recommended alternative to the `login_required` parameter.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
    --data-raw '{
      "parent_folder": {
        "id": "234102987614",
        "type": "folder"
      },
      "source_files": [
        {
          "id": "1358047520478",
          "type": "file"
        }
      ],
      "signers": [
        {
          "email": "signer@example.com",
          "role": "signer",
          "verification_method": {
            "type": "login"
          }
        }
      ]
    }'
```

## Password verification

You can require the signer to use a password to open the signature request
by passing the `password` parameter in the `signer` object. For example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1358047520478",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "verify@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "password": "1234"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_verify_password(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      signer_password: str,
  ) -> SignRequest:

      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      # signer
      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=signer_email,
          password=signer_password,
      )

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Sign with phone verification
      sign_with_password_verification = sign_doc_verify_password(
          client,
          SIMPLE_PDF,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          SIGNER_A,
          "1234",
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Once the signer opens the signature request they should see something like this:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Password verification pop-up" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  As the password verification is done on the first step, it prevents the
  signer from accessing the document until the correct password is provided.
</Info>

## SMS verification (legacy)

You can also configure SMS verification using the
`verification_phone_number` parameter on the signer object. This approach
is fully supported, but for new integrations we recommend using
`verification_method` instead for a consistent experience across all
verification types.

To require the signer to complete SMS verification, pass the
`verification_phone_number` parameter along with their phone number.
For example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "is_phone_verification_required_to_view": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1358047520478",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "verify@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "verification_phone_number": "+15551232190"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_verify_phone(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      signer_phone: str,
  ) -> SignRequest:

      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=signer_email,
          verification_phone_number=signer_phone,
      )

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_phone_verification_required_to_view=True,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Sign with phone verification
      sign_with_phone_verification = sign_doc_verify_phone(
          client,
          SIMPLE_PDF,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          SIGNER_A,
          SIGNER_A_PHONE,
      )
      check_sign_request(sign_with_phone_verification)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

When the signer tries to access the signature request an SMS verification dialog pops up:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Phone verification" />
</Frame>

Then the signer is prompted to enter the code sent in an SMS:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Entering the SMS code" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  By default, SMS verification is required at the signing step, which means
  the signer can view the document before completing the verification. To
  require SMS verification before the signer can view the document, set the
  `is_phone_verification_required_to_view` parameter to `true` when creating
  the sign request.

# In person signatures
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/in-person



Imagine your application is used by a salesperson when they are face to face
with a customer and an immediate signature is required, for example, to
subscribe to a service or to confirm a purchase.

In this case, the salesperson can use your application to create a signature
request and then hand over the device to the customer to sign the document,
immediately closing the deal.

Doing this using the Box web application, for example from a template, is very
straightforward. You set the signer or signers email so they can receive a copy
of the signed document, flag them as in person, and as soon as you send the
request, the Sign interface opens requesting the signature for the
first signer, then for the second signer, and so on.

In order to use this within your application, you need to create a signature
request with the `is_in_person` flag set to `true` for each signer.

However because your application needs to show the Sign interface to the
signer, you also need to use the `embed_url_external_user_id`so that you get
back the embedded URLs, and then either open a browser window or use an iframe
to display the signature interface.

<Frame>
  <img alt="In person signing loops through signers" />
</Frame>

## Create an in person signature request

Let's use a template with a single signer as an example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer Le...Cb' \
      --data-raw '{
        "template_id": "ee9a689e-96b6-4076-92a0-b9b765eb09ca",
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "is_in_person": true,
            "embed_url_external_user_id": "1234"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_in_person(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      signer_embed_url_id: str,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=signer_email,
          embed_url_external_user_id=signer_embed_url_id,
          is_in_person=True,
      )

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      """Simple script to demonstrate how to use the Box SDK"""
      conf = ConfigOAuth()
      client = get_client_oauth(conf)
      # Sign with phone verification
      sign_with_embed_url = sign_doc_embed_url(
          client,
          SIMPLE_PDF,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          SIGNER_A,
          SIGNER_A_EXTERNAL_ID,
      )
      check_sign_request(sign_with_embed_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Resulting in (simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "signers": [
      {
        "email": "sender@example.com",
        "role": "final_copy_reader",
        "is_in_person": false,
      },
      {
        "email": "signer@example.com",
        "role": "signer",
        "is_in_person": true,
        "embed_url_external_user_id": "1234",
        "embed_url": "https://app.box.com/sign/document/...",
        "iframeable_embed_url": "https://app.box.com/embed/sign/document/..."
      }
    ],
    "id": "a9159d31-d2fb-4e88-9306-02c00de013d1",
    "parent_folder": {
      "id": "234102987614",
      "type": "folder",
      "name": "signed docs"
    },
    "name": "Simple-PDF (1).pdf",
    "type": "sign-request",
    "status": "created",
    "template_id": "ee9a689e-96b6-4076-92a0-b9b765eb09ca"
  }
  ```

  ```yaml theme={null}
  Simple sign request: a9159d31-d2fb-4e88-9306-02c00de013d1
    Status: created
    Signers: 2
      final_copy_reader: sender@example.com
      signer: signer@example.com
      embed_url: https://app.box.com/sign/document/...
      iframeable_embed_url: https://app.box.com/embed/sign/document/...
    Prepare url: None
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Notice the `embed_url` and `iframeable_embed_url` in the response. Now when we
browse to the embed URL, you see the signature interface:

<Frame>
  <img alt="In person signing" />
</Frame>

Once finished the signer will receive a copy of the signed document via their
email.

## Multiple in person signers

As long as the signer is flagged as `is_in_person`, the signing interface
cycles through all the signers in the request.

For example, if you add a second signer to the request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer Le...Cb' \
      --data-raw '{
        "template_id": "ee9a689e-96b6-4076-92a0-b9b765eb09ca",
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer_a@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "is_in_person": true,
            "embed_url_external_user_id": "1234"
          },
          {
            "email": "signer_b@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "is_in_person": true
          }
        ]

# Request options
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/index



The Box Sign API offers a wide range of customization and configuration options
when sending signature requests. These options allow developers to tailor the
user experience and workflow to match their application's specific requirements.


# Multiple signers and roles
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/multiple-signers



## Multiple signers

What if you have a document that needs to be signed by multiple people? This is
typical for contracts between two or more entities.

Having multiple signers introduces another dimension to the Box Sign process,
the order in which the signers need to sign the document.

If you do not specify the order, the request is sent to everyone at the same
time, and when all parties have signed the document, they each receive a copy
with all signatures.

If you specify the signing order, the signature request is sent to the first
signer. Only when the first signer signs the document, the request is sent to
the second signer, and so on.

Let’s see this working with an example scholarship contract between a
university and a student. In this case the institution/teacher must sign the
document first.

Creating a method specific for this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1358047520478",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "institution@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "order": 1
          },
          {
            "email": "student@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "order": 2
          },
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_contract(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      institution_email: str,
      student_email: str,
      prep_needed: bool = False,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      """Sign contract"""

      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      # signers
      institution = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=institution_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.SIGNER,
          order=1,
      )

      student = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=student_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.SIGNER,
          order=2,
      )

      # create sign request
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[institution, student],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_document_preparation_needed=prep_needed,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Multiple signers
      sign_contract_multi = sign_contract(
          client,
          CONTRACT,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          institution_email=SIGNER_A,
          student_email=SIGNER_B,
          prep_needed=True,
      )
      if sign_contract_multi.prepare_url is not None:
          open_browser(sign_contract_multi.prepare_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

In this particular example the document needs to be prepared, so the browser to
the prepare URL opens.

Drag the signature pad, the full name and the date to the appropriate places in
the document, and click Send Request:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Preparing the contract" />
</Frame>

Notice you now have two signers, with the order already specified. The `color`
is also important to identify which signer is which (in this case the
institution is blue and the student is green), determining which signature pad,
name and date belongs to which signer.

If you look at the signature request details, you should see something like
this:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Signature request details showing the document and signers" />
</Frame>

Indicating that the first request was sent, but the second is waiting for the
first to be completed.

Go ahead and complete the signature process for both signers.

Notice that when you get the second request it is already signed by the first
signer.

## Roles

So far we have been working with the `signer` role. However there are [other
roles][roles] that you can use to customize the signature process.

The available roles are, `signer`, `approver`, and `final copy reader`

From a developer perspective, this means:

* **Signer**: Any person who is allowed to add data to the document. This includes adding a signature, initials, date, but also filling out text fields, check boxes, and radio buttons, even if it does not include a signature.

* **Approver**: This role will be asked if they approve the signature request. This approval happens before the preparation step, if enabled, and before the request is sent to any of the signers. This role is useful if you need to get approval from someone before sending the document to the signers.

* **Final copy reader**: This role does not interact with the signature process, but will receive a copy of the signed document.

Let's use roles to be a bit more creative in the scholarship example.

Imagine that the scholarship needs to be approved by the dean, and the legal
department receives a final copy of the contract.

The flow starts with the signature request, flowed by the dean approval, the
institution signature, the student signature, and finally the legal
department receives a copy of the signed document:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Multiple signers and roles" />
</Frame>

Let's create a method for this:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1358047520478",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "institution@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "order": 1
          },
          {
            "email": "student@example.com",
            "role": "signer",
            "order": 2
          },
          {
            "email": "dean@example.com",
            "role": "approver"
          },
          {
            "email": "legal@example.com",
            "role": "final_copy_reader"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_contract_step(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      institution_email: str,
      student_email: str,
      dean_email: str,
      legal_email: str,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      """Sign contract"""

      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      # signers
      institution = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=institution_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.SIGNER,
          order=1,
      )

      student = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=student_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.SIGNER,
          order=2,
      )

      dean = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=dean_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.APPROVER,
      )

      legal = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=legal_email,
          role=SignRequestCreateSignerRoleField.FINAL_COPY_READER,
      )

      # create sign request
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[institution, student, dean, legal],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_document_preparation_needed=True,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Multiple signers and steps
      sign_contract_multi_step = sign_contract_step(
          client,
          CONTRACT,
          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          institution_email=SIGNER_A,
          student_email=SIGNER_B,
          dean_email=APPROVER,
          legal_email=FINAL_COPY,
      )
      if sign_contract_multi_step.prepare_url is not None:
          open_browser(sign_contract_multi_step.prepare_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Like before you need to prepare the document, so open the prepare URL in your
browser.

Notice in the example the institution is represented by blue on the
left, and the student by green on the right, and both are signers.

Neither the `approver` nor the `final copy reader` can have inputs associated
with them. If you do this, their roles will be adjusted to `signer`:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Multiple role preparation" />
</Frame>

Continuing the signature process:

* The dean approves the scholarship
* The institution signs the scholarship
* The student signs the scholarship
* The legal department receives a copy of the signed document.

# Request expiration
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/request-expiration



There are situations where you might need to [set an expiration date][exp-date]
for the signature request.

For example, imagine a quote for a service that is valid for 30 days. This
proposal has to be signed by a certain date, and if not, the signature request
for the quote is no longer valid.

All you need to do is pass the `days_valid` parameter.

For example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t' \
      --data-raw '{

          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single_more_options(

# Resend requests
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/resend-requests



What if the signer did not receive the email, the email was lost, or the
signer deleted the email by mistake?

You can resend the signature request email to the `signer` , either manually or
you can turn on the automatic resend option.

## Manual resend

To manually resend the signature request email to the signer, call the
`resend_sign_request` method on the `sign_requests` object. You can only do it
once every 10 minutes.

Here is an example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location --request POST 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/
  52f6f86c-c0b3-401e-a4ec-1709f277c469/resend' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer ej...3t'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_send_reminder(client: Client, sign_request_id: str):
      """Send reminder to signers"""
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.resend_sign_request(sign_request_id)
      return sign_request
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## Automatic resend

The automatic resend option sends a reminder email to signers that have
not signed the document yet, after 3, 8, 13, and 18 days.

To enable automatic resend set the `are_reminders_enabled` parameter to `true`.
For example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access token>' \
      --data-raw '{
        "are_reminders_enabled": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1355143830404",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single_more_options(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      prep_needed: bool = False,
      auto_reminder: bool = False,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      """Single doc sign by single signer"""

      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      # signer
      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(signer_email)

      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_document_preparation_needed=prep_needed,
          are_reminders_enabled=auto_reminder,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Sign with redirects
      sign_with_auto_reminder = sign_doc_single_more_options(
          client,

          SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER,
          SIGNER_A,
          prep_needed=False,
          auto_reminder = True,
      )
  ```
</CodeGroup>


# Set signer language
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/request-options/signer-language



Use the `language` parameter to set the language for individual signers in your signature requests. This ensures that each recipient receives emails and signing pages in the designated language, regardless of their Box account settings or browser configuration.

## Overview

By default, Box Sign determines the language for each signer based on:

* The signer's Box account language setting (if they're logged in at time of signing)
* English (if they're not logged in)

In some workflows, especially legal or compliance scenarios, you may need to explicitly enforce display in a particular language. With the `language` parameter, you can explicitly set the language for a signer, ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. This language applies to:

* All email notifications sent to the signer
* The signing experience page

## Set the language

To set the language for a signer, add the `language` field to the `signer` object in your API request.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
       "signers": [
          {
            "role": "signer",
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "language": "nl"
          }
        ],
       "source_files": [
          {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "123456789"
          }
       ],
       "parent_folder":
          {
            "type": "folder",
            "id": "0987654321"
          }
     }'
```

### Supported language codes

Box Sign supports the language codes defined in the Box API language codes specification. For the complete list of supported languages and their codes, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/language-codes">Language codes</Link>.

Common language codes include:

* en — English
* nl — Dutch
* fr — French
* de — German
* es — Spanish
* ja — Japanese

### Error handling

If you specify an unsupported language code, the API returns a **400 Bad Request** error.
Example error response:

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "error",

# Technical use cases
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/technical-use-cases/index



In your application you will be signing different documents from many sources.
How can your application process such documents in order for them to be
recognized by the Box Sign service?

A signature request can have multiple requirements, or inputs, beyond the
traditional signature, such as name, date, and initials. These inputs
are called signature properties. The Box Sign service needs to know where to
place these inputs in the document, and how to recognize them.

The first step is to consider if the document has the necessary information for
the Box Sign service to recognize the signature properties.

If not, then the [document is unstructured][unstructured-docs], and should be
prepared before sending the signature request. This is called document
preparation, and is an extra step automatically created by the Box Sign service.

There are two other types of documents that already have the necessary
information for the Box Sign service to recognize the signature properties.
The [sign templates][sign-templates], managed in the Box application, and the
[structured documents][sign-structured-docs], which are dynamically generated
documents, containing specific tags representing the signature properties.

# Signing structured docs
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/technical-use-cases/sign-structured-docs



A structured document in the context of Box Sign is a document that includes
specific tags that can be recognized by the Box Sign API. These tags are used
to place the signature properties associated with a specific signer in the
document, such as name, date, and signature.

This allows your app to handle a dynamic generated document that is ready to be
signed, which has a couple of advantages:

* The document can be dynamically generated, and the signature properties can be added to the document before creating the signature request, effectively bypassing the document preparation step.

* The document format can be handled outside of Box Sign templates, allowing higher flexibility and integration with external document management systems.

## Anatomy of a structured document

Here is an example of a structured document, showing the formatting used to
place tags in a Microsoft Word document:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Using tags in a Microsoft Word document" />
</Frame>

In the sample above `[[c|1]]` means a checkbox assigned to signer 1, and `[[s|
1]]` means a signature pad assigned to signer 1. Notice how the signature pad
is using font size 48 to reserve space vertically for the signature.

The `[[t|1|id:tag_full_name|n:enter your complete name]]` means a name tag
assigned to signer 1, with the label `enter your complete name`, and using an
id of `tag_full_name`.

Check out this [document][support-tags] for a complete description of all
the tags available.

Setting the tags to the same `color` as the background will make them
invisible, but they will still be there.

The number in the tags refer to the signer number, not the signing order, so
`[[c|1]]` is the checkbox for signer 1, `[[c|2]]` is the checkbox for signer 2,
and so on.

Tag 0 is reserved for the sender, and always exists. So even if the sender
does not need to input any data into the document, the other signers must start
with 1.

## Create a signature request from a structured document

This is the same as creating a signature request from an unstructured document.
At minimum, you will need to specify the document, the receiving folder and
the email of the `signer`.

Since the structured document already contains the signature properties details
and location, you can bypass the document preparation.

This is how the flow would look like, from the generated document, create the
signature request and finally sign the document:

      parent_folder = FolderMini(
          id=SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )
      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(signer_email)

      # Create a sign request
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=parent_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Create a sign request with structured data
      sign_request = create_sign_request_structured(
          client, STRUCTURED_DOC, SIGNER_A
      )
      check_sign_request(sign_request)

</CodeGroup>

Resulting in (simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json cURL theme={null}

  ```
</CodeGroup>

If you go to the **signer** email inbox, open the email from Box Sign, click
the **Review Document** button, you'll see the document with the signature
properties in place:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Document with the properties in place" />
</Frame>

After completing the process the signed document looks like this:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Signed document" />
</Frame>

## Pre-populate the signature attributes

If you have an external id in the document tags you can use it to pre-populate
their values. For example, you can use the `tag_full_name` to pre-populate the
name of the signer.

See this method:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \

## Extract information from a signed document

Let's say you want to extract the name of the signer and the other properties
from the signed document. This is useful if you need to tie the information
from the signature request back into your systems.

Let's create a method to extract the information from the signed request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests/
  11ecebc0-a2b2-4c14-a892-3f56333cc4fa' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer nQ...xY'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def check_sign_request_by_id(client: Client, sign_request_id: str):
      """Check sign request by id"""
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.get_sign_request_by_id(sign_request_id)

      print(f"\nSimple sign request: {sign_request.id}")
      print(f"  Status: {sign_request.status.value}")

      print(f"  Signers: {len(sign_request.signers)}")
      for signer in sign_request.signers:
          print(f"    {signer.role.value}: {signer.email}")
          for input in signer.inputs:
              content_type = input.content_type
              value = None

              if content_type == SignRequestSignerInputTypeField.CHECKBOX:
                  value = input.checkbox_value
              elif content_type == SignRequestSignerInputTypeField.TEXT:
                  value = input.text_value
              elif content_type == SignRequestSignerInputTypeField.DATE:
                  value = input.date_value

              print(
                  f"      {input.type.value}: {value if value is not None else '<other>'}"
              )

      print(f"  Prepare url: {sign_request.prepare_url}")

  def main():
      ...

      # Latest sign request
      LATEST_SIGN_REQUEST = "7b86e46c-72ba-4568-a6ff-787077cca007"
      check_sign_request_by_id(client, LATEST_SIGN_REQUEST)

## Summary

Structured documents are a great way to integrate with external document
management systems, creating dynamic documents that are ready for signature.

If your document signature requirements have a lot of options, you can
pre-populate these from another data source and save the user's time, but
remember that the user who owns these properties can always change them.

After the document is signed you can extract the information from the signature
request, which is useful if you need to tie it back into your systems.

# Signing using templates
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/technical-use-cases/sign-template



A [Box Sign template][template] is a specific type of document that not only
contains the text, but also the signature requirements and placement. It is
prepared for signing in advance, and as such can be sent directly to the signer
or signers.

Required fields include, for example, the signature pad field, the full name,
and the date.

These fields have an owner, meaning they are populated by a specific signer and
cannot be shared between them. They can be `mandatory` or `optional` , and be
pre-populated by your application. However even if pre-populated, they can
always be changed by the `signer`.

Within the Box web app, the template not only sets the signature fields, but
also the number of signers, the order in which they sign, other roles and
recipients such as `approver`, and `final_copy_recipient`, email notification
settings, and a few more options.

For a complete set of options of the signature request please refer to the
[request options][request-options] section.

These templates are exclusively created and managed in the Box Sign web app,
and can be used to create signature requests using the API or the web app.

Let's start by creating a template.

## Creating a template

From the Box app navigate to the sign menu on the left, then select templates.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Navigating to templates under Box Sign" />
</Frame>

Then, click on the New Template button, and choose or upload the document from
Box.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Selecting a document when creating a template" />
</Frame>

For example, drag and drop a date, a name and a signature pad to the template,
like so:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Adding the signature, name, and date to the template" />
</Frame>

<Note>
  You can add an [extra layer of security][additional-sec] for a recipient.
  It works for both a defined recipient with a pre-defined email address, and a
  placeholder recipient, where the template user has to provide their email
  address.
</Note>

Save the template.

## Identify the template

In order to work with templates in the Box Sign API we are going to need the
`template_id` . Consider this method to list all the templates available to the user:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_templates' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer E9...Q0'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_templates_list(client: Client):
      """List all sign templates"""
      sign_templates = client.sign_templates.get_sign_templates()
      print(f"\nSign templates: {len(sign_templates.entries)}")
      for sign_template in sign_templates.entries:
          print(f"  {sign_template.id} - {sign_template.name}")

  def main():
      """Simple script to demonstrate how to use the Box SDK"""
      conf = ConfigOAuth()
      client = get_client_oauth(conf)

      user = client.users.get_user_me()
      print(f"\nHello, I'm {user.name} ({user.login}) [{user.id}]")

      sign_templates_list(client)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Returns something similar to (simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json cURL theme={null}
  {
    "limit": 10,
    "next_marker": null,
    "prev_marker": null,

## Creating a signature request from a template

The big advantage of using templates is that we do not need to worry about
document preparation. Most of the signature options can be set in the
template itself.

This is how the flow would look like:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Signing using a template" />
</Frame>

Using a signature template, create the signature request, and finally sign the
document.

See this example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer E9...Q0' \
      --data-raw '{
        "template_id": "f2ec720d-47a6-4052-8210-9bfa8d6c349c",
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def create_sign_request(client: Client, template_id: str, signer_email: str):
      """Create sign request from template"""
      parent_folder = FolderMini(
          id=SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=signer_email,
      )

      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=parent_folder,
          template_id=template_id,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Create sign request from template
      sign_request = create_sign_request(client, TEMPLATE_SIMPLE, SIGNER_A)
      check_sign_request(sign_request)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Resulting in (simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "signers": [
      {

      },
      {
        "email": "signer@example.com",

          "type": "file",
          "name": "Simple-DOC (1).pdf",
        }
      ],
    },
    "template_id": "f2ec720d-47a6-4052-8210-9bfa8d6c349c"
  }
  ```

  ```yaml theme={null}
  Simple sign request: b25674a2-540b-4201-ae18-a78f05ef1a9a
    Status: created
    Signers: 2
      final_copy_reader: sender@example.com
      signer: signer@example.com
    Prepare url: None
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The signer receives an email from Box.com with a link to the document, and
can sign it.

<Info>
  Since the template already had the signature requirements, document
  preparation was not needed. Notice the date was automatically populated with
  the current date.
</Info>

## Pre-populate the signature attributes

From a usability perspective, it is a good idea to pre-populate the inputs you
require from your users.

<Info>
  Some inputs may be intentionally left unpopulated. For example, when your legal
  department specifies that the “Yes, I agree” field must be explicitly set by
  the signer.
</Info>

Using the Box app sign template editor, you can assign an `external_id` to each
of the inputs, and have the app populate them from any data source.

Let’s implement this for the name.

Go back to the template design and add an id to the name field:

<Frame>
  <img alt="Assigning a tag id to a signature property input" />
</Frame>

Save the template.

Let’s create a new method to pre-populate the name:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer E9..Q0' \
      --data-raw '{
        "template_id": "f2ec720d-47a6-4052-8210-9bfa8d6c349c",
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ],
        "prefill_tags": [
          {
            "document_tag_id": "signer_full_name",
            "text_value": "Signer A"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def create_sign_request_name_default(
      client: Client, template_id: str, signer_name, signer_email: str
  ):
      """Create sign request from template"""
      parent_folder = FolderMini(
          id=SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )

      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(
          email=signer_email,
      )

      # tags
      tag_full_name = SignRequestPrefillTag(
          document_tag_id="signer_full_name",
          text_value=signer_name,
      )

      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=parent_folder,
          prefill_tags=[tag_full_name],
          template_id=template_id,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      ...

      # Create sign request from template with name
      sign_request_name = create_sign_request_name_default(
          client, TEMPLATE_SIMPLE, "Signer A", SIGNER_A
      )
      check_sign_request(sign_request_name)
  ```

  Resulting in (simplified):
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "signers": [
      {
        "email": "sender@example.com",
        "role": "final_copy_reader",
      },
      {
        "email": "signer@example.com",
        "role": "signer",
        "is_in_person": false,
      }
    ],

  ```yaml theme={null}

      signer: signer@example.com
    Prepare url: None
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Open the signer inbox and complete the sign request.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Signing the document" />
</Frame>

When the signer views the document, the `signer` can still change it.

## Get more information about a template

You've seen that you can list the templates available to a user. But you can
also get more information about a specific template.

Let’s create a method that returns basic information of a template, but details
all the signature requirements:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_templates/
  f2ec720d-47a6-4052-8210-9bfa8d6c349c' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer OL..BQ'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_template_print_info(client: Client, template_id: str):
      sign_template = client.sign_templates.get_sign_template_by_id(template_id)
      print(f"\nSign template: {sign_template.id} - {sign_template.name}")
      print(f"  Signers: {len(sign_template.signers)}")
      for signer in sign_template.signers:
          print(f"    {signer.role.value}")
          if len(signer.inputs) > 0:
              print("      Tag ID\t Type\t Required")
          for input in signer.inputs:
              print(
                  f"      {input.document_tag_id} {input.type.value} {input.is_required}"
              )

  def main():
      ...

      # Print sign template details
      sign_template_print_info(client, TEMPLATE_SIMPLE)
  ```

  Resulting in (simplified):
</CodeGroup>

<CodeGroup>
  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "type": "sign-template",

        "inputs": [
          {
            "document_tag_id": null,
            "id": "d02c8e16-5050-475e-b74b-9a952193e4f8",
            "type": "date",
            "is_required": true,
            "date_value": null,

            "content_type": "full_name",
          },
          {
            "document_tag_id": null,
            "id": "1a8f4cb1-5c09-46bd-96f5-0ab449f19640",
            "type": "signature",
            "is_required": true,
            "content_type": "signature",
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
  }
  ```

  ```yaml theme={null}

        None              signature True
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Info>
  Notice that the `signer_full_name` is the `tag_id` we used to pre-populate the
  name.
</Info>

## Summary

Templates are a form of signing structured documents where the signature
requirements are already defined and placed on the document.

This not only keeps your contract management team happy, but it also creates a
process which is consistent and requires a low level of effort from your users.

Finally if your document signature requirements have a lot of options, you can
pre-populate these from another data source and save the user some time.
Remember that the user who owns these properties can always change them.

There is no API entry point to create a template, so you will have to create
and manage them manually from the Box app, unless the document already includes
signature tags that can be used by the Box Sign engine. Take a look at our
[Structured Docs][structured-docs] section for more information.

# Signing unstructured docs
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/technical-use-cases/sign-unstructured-docs



Imagine a document management app, where users can upload a document and ask
anyone to sign it. In this case your app will know what document to sign and
who needs to sign, but it has no idea where to put the signature or its
properties like name, date, initial, and so on.

This contrasts with [using templates][sign-templates] or
[structured documents][sign-structured-docs] where your
app knows what they are, and where the
signature properties go.

In these cases, and because each document can have a different structure, it is
a good idea to always set the `is_document_preparation_needed` flag set to
`true`, so that the sender has a chance to select and place the signature
properties in the document before the signer gets the request.

There are three steps to this flow, creating the signature request, then
preparing the document, and finally signing it.
This is how the flow looks like:

<img alt="Sign unstructured docs flow" />

Consider this example:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Authorization: Bearer <access token>' \
      --data-raw '{
        "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
        "parent_folder": {
          "id": "234102987614",
          "type": "folder"
        },
        "source_files": [
          {
            "id": "1355143830404",
            "type": "file"
          }
        ],
        "signers": [
          {
            "email": "signer@example.com",
            "role": "signer"
          }
        ]
      }'
  ```

  ```python Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  def sign_doc_single(
      client: Client,
      document_id: str,
      destination_folder_id: str,
      signer_email: str,
      prep_needed: bool = False,
  ) -> SignRequest:
      # Sign request params
      source_file = FileBase(id=document_id, type=FileBaseTypeField.FILE)
      destination_folder = FolderMini(
          id=destination_folder_id, type=FolderBaseTypeField.FOLDER
      )
      signer = SignRequestCreateSigner(signer_email)
      # sign document
      sign_request = client.sign_requests.create_sign_request(
          signers=[signer],
          parent_folder=destination_folder,
          source_files=[source_file],
          is_document_preparation_needed=prep_needed,
      )

      return sign_request

  def main():
      conf = ConfigOAuth()
      client = get_client_oauth(conf)

      # Simple sign a pdf request with preparation
      sign_pdf_prep = sign_doc_single(
          client, SIMPLE_PDF, SIGN_DOCS_FOLDER, SIGNER_A, True
      )

      if sign_pdf_prep.prepare_url is not None:
          open_browser(sign_pdf_prep.prepare_url)
  ```
</CodeGroup>

This results in a signature request with a prepare document URL (simplified):

<CodeGroup>
  ```json cURL theme={null}
  {
    "is_document_preparation_needed": true,
    "signers": [
      {
        "email": "requester@example.com",
        "role": "final_copy_reader",
      },
      {
        "email": "signer@example.com",
        "role": "signer",
      }
    ],
    "id": "348decab-48a8-4f2c-9436-8967afebf7bb",
    "prepare_url": "https://app.box.com/sign/document/xyz-abc-123/.../prepare_doc/",
    "source_files": [
      {
        "id": "1355143830404",
        "type": "file",
      }
    ],
    "parent_folder": {
      "id": "234102987614",
      "type": "folder",
    },
    "name": "Simple-PDF.pdf",
    "type": "sign-request",
    "status": "converting",
    "sign_files": {
      "files": [
        {
          "id": "1381301154812",
          "type": "file",
        }
      ],
      "is_ready_for_download": true
    },
    "template_id": null
  }
  ```

  ```yaml Python Gen SDK theme={null}
  Simple sign request with prep: xyz-abc-123
    Status: converting
    Signers: signer@example.com
  Prepare url: https://app.box.com/sign/document/xyz-abc-123/.../prepare_doc/
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Notice in the above script that, if a prepare document URL was generated by the
signature request, then the app opens a browser for it. The requester can
then apply the different signature properties, for example:

<Frame>

# Sign webhooks
Source: https://developer.box.com/sign/webhooks/index



Sign webhooks allow you to receive notifications about events that happen with
Box Sign signature requests. You can use them to trigger actions in your own
application, or to notify your users about events that happen in Box Sign.

This is particularly important since the signature requests are asynchronous,
and the signers can interact with them at any time, possibly outside of your
application.

## Sign-related events

There are Box Sign-related events that can trigger the webhooks. Like most of Box events the listeners are set at the folder or document level.

The most common use case is to listen to the events at the folder where the
signature requests are created. This way you can listen to all the signature
requests created in that folder.

Some examples of events that can be listened to are:

* `SIGN_REQUEST.COMPLETED`, when a signature request is completed.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.DECLINED`, when a signature request is declined.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.EXPIRED`, when a signature request expires.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.SIGNER_EMAIL_BOUNCED`, when a signer's email is bounced.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.SIGNER_SIGNED`, when the signature request is signed by a particular signer.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.SIGNATURE_REQUESTED`, when the signature is requested from the signer.
* `SIGN_REQUEST.ERROR_FINALIZING`, when the signature request could not be processed.

# Box and Pinecone
Source: https://developer.box.com/ai/vector-databases/pinecone

Build a RAG pipeline by connecting Box content to Pinecone for vector search and question answering.

This tutorial walks you through building a retrieval-augmented generation
(RAG) pipeline using [Pinecone](https://www.pinecone.io/) as a vector
database. You will create vector embeddings from files
stored in Box, store them in Pinecone, and query them through a large
language model (LLM) to answer questions about your content.

<SignupCTA>

</SignupCTA>

## RAG concept overview

### What is a vector database?

Pinecone is a managed, cloud-native
[vector database](https://www.pinecone.io/learn/vector-database/). A vector
database stores and retrieves representations of your data, called
embeddings, so you can find results that are similar in meaning rather
than literally identical. This is the foundation of semantic search.

### What are embeddings?

Embeddings are a mathematical representation of the meaning of your content.
They are generated by taking input data, splitting (or chunking) it, and
using an embedding model to produce a sequence of floating-point values —
for example, `[0.3, 0.4, 0.1, 1.8, 1.1, ...]`.

You can think of these values as mapping concepts to points in a
high-dimensional space. Similar concepts cluster together: "cat" is close
to "kitten," while "banana" and "dog" are far apart. Different embedding
models are trained on different data and may be specialized for specific
use cases.

### How does RAG work with Box and Pinecone?

In a typical RAG workflow:

* **Indexing**: Content from a Box folder is extracted, chunked, and
  converted into embeddings using an embedding model. These embeddings are
  stored in Pinecone along with metadata such as the file name and a
  reference back to the source file in Box.

* **Retrieval**: When a user asks a question, the question is converted
  into embeddings using the same model. Pinecone's query functionality
  retrieves the content chunks most relevant to the question.

* **Generation**: The original question and the retrieved content chunks
  are combined into a prompt and sent to an LLM, which generates an answer
  grounded in your Box content.

The LLM doesn't have direct access to your Box files. RAG bridges that gap
by providing the relevant context so the model can generate accurate answers
based on your data.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

* A **Box folder** with files you want to query. The folder must be
  accessible by the user account that creates the Box application. Note the
  folder ID from the URL bar. You will need it later.
* A **Pinecone account**.
  [Sign up for a free starter plan](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/get-started/quickstart)
  and generate an API key.
* For the purpose of this tutorial, an **OpenAI account**. This can be substituted for any other LLM.
  [Sign up for OpenAI](https://platform.openai.com/docs/quickstart) and
  generate an API key. You may need to attach billing information.
* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) installed on your machine.

## Create a Box custom application

Create an OAuth application in the
[Box Developer Console](https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console):

1. Click **New App** in the top right corner.
2. Enter an app name and select **OAuth 2.0** as the authentication method.
3. Click **Create App**.
4. Scroll down to **Redirect URIs** and add:
   `http://127.0.0.1:5000/callback`
5. Check all boxes under **Application Scopes**.
6. Click **Save Changes**.

Note the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. You will need these for the
configuration file.

## Create a Pinecone index

1. Log in to the [Pinecone Console](https://app.pinecone.io/).
2. Click **Create Index**.
3. Give the index a name (for example, `pinecone-demo`).
4. Set the **Dimensions** field to `1024`.
5. Leave all other settings at their defaults and click **Create Index**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Create a Pinecone index" />
</Frame>

Note the index name. You will add it to the configuration file.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Pinecone index screen" />
</Frame>

<Tip>
  You can also create an index programmatically via the
  [Pinecone API](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/latest/control-plane/create_index).
</Tip>

## Initialize the code repository

Clone the [sample code](https://github.com/box-community/box-pinecone-sample)
to your local machine:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/box-community/box-pinecone-sample.git
cd box-pinecone-sample
```

Create and activate a virtual environment:

```bash theme={null}
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```

Install the dependencies:

```bash theme={null}
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Copy the sample configuration file and update it with your credentials:

```bash theme={null}
cp sample_config.py config.py
```

Open `config.py` in your editor and fill in:

* Your Box **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
* Your **Box folder ID**
* Your **Pinecone API key** and **index name**
* Your **OpenAI API key**

<Frame>
  <img alt="Configuration file" />
</Frame>

<Warning>
  Do **not** set the folder ID to `0`. This would attempt to index your entire
  Box account, which is not recommended. It would exceed rate limits, consume
  significant resources, and likely fail to complete.
</Warning>

## Create and store embeddings

With the configuration complete, run the main script to create embeddings
from your Box content:

```bash theme={null}
python main.py
```

The first time you run the application, a browser window opens asking you to
grant access. This is the standard OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. Click
**Grant Access to Box**.

<Note>
  The OAuth tokens are stored in a `.oauth.json` file in the project
  directory. The refresh token remains valid for 60 days of inactivity.
</Note>

The script processes each file in the specified Box folder, extracts its
<Link href="/guides/representations/text">text representation</Link>,
chunks it, generates embeddings using the
[Pinecone Inference API](https://docs.pinecone.io/reference/api/latest/inference/generate-embeddings),
and stores them in Pinecone. Metadata, including a reference back to the
source file in Box, is attached to each vector.

Once complete, you can view the embeddings in the Pinecone Console along
with the associated metadata (file name, plain text of the chunk, and more).
This metadata is useful for filtering responses and managing document
versions.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Embeddings in Pinecone Console" />
</Frame>

## Query the LLM

With the embeddings stored, you can ask questions about your Box content.
This part of the project uses OpenAI as the LLM provider.

Run the query script:

```bash theme={null}
python query.py
```

Enter a question at the prompt. The script converts your question to an
embedding, retrieves the most relevant content chunks from Pinecone, and
sends them along with your question to OpenAI to generate an answer.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Query answer from the service" />
</Frame>

## Enhancement ideas

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Automate indexing with events">
    The sample runs indexing on demand. You could create a scheduled task or
    an event-driven service using
    <Link href="/guides/events">Box events</Link> that triggers when files
    in the Box folder change. The script uses upserts, so re-running it
    updates existing records.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Add a user interface">
    The query script runs via the command line. You could build a web UI for
    a more user-friendly question-and-answer experience.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Use different authentication methods">
    The demo uses OAuth 2.0. You could integrate
    <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt">JWT</Link> or
    <Link href="/guides/authentication/client-credentials">Client Credentials Grant</Link>
    authentication for server-to-server use cases.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Swap models or configuration">
    The embeddings use the Pinecone Inference API, and the query script
    uses OpenAI. You can substitute different embedding models, LLM
    providers, vector dimensions, distance metrics, and chunk sizes to fit
    your use case.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Expand file type support">
    The script processes files that have a
    <Link href="/guides/representations/text">text representation</Link>
    in Box (automatically created for supported file types under 500 MB).
    You could add third-party libraries to handle additional content types
    or larger files.

## Overview

### What is Weaviate?

[Weaviate](https://weaviate.io/) is an open-source vector database built for
speed, scale, and AI-driven search. It stores data as objects and vectors,
letting you combine semantic search via embeddings with structured filtering.
Weaviate is cloud native, fault tolerant, and integrates directly with large
language models (LLMs).

### How Box and Weaviate create an end-to-end RAG solution

RAG is a technique that pairs vector search (retrieval) with a language model
(generation) to answer questions using your own data. The flow works as
follows:

* **Content storage**: Box holds your files (PDFs, docs, text reports,
  and other supported formats).
* **Embedding creation**: Text is extracted from your Box files, chunked,
  and converted into vector embeddings using
  [Weaviate Embeddings](https://weaviate.io/developers/wcs/embeddings).
* **Querying**: Weaviate's Query Agent takes a natural language question,
  generates the necessary search and aggregation queries, and returns a
  single answer — all using agentic RAG.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

* A Box developer account. If you don't already have one,
  [sign up for a free developer account](https://account.box.com/signup/developer#ty9l3).
* A Jupyter Notebook environment such as
  [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks)
  with the Jupyter extension, or a local Jupyter installation.
* A Weaviate Cloud account.
  [Sign up for a free sandbox tier](https://console.weaviate.cloud/).

## Get a Box developer token

1. Click **New App** in the top right corner.
2. Enter an app name and select **OAuth 2.0** as the authentication method.
3. Click **Create App**.
4. Under **Application Scopes**, add read/write scopes for files if not already enabled, then
   click **Save Changes**.
5. From the **Configuration** tab, copy and save the developer token. You will need it for the notebook.

<Note>
  Developer tokens are valid for 60 minutes. If your session takes longer,
  you will need to generate a new token.
</Note>

## Create a Weaviate cluster

1. Log in to [Weaviate Cloud](https://console.weaviate.cloud/).
2. Create a new cluster from the dashboard. You can name it whatever you
   like.
3. Once the cluster is ready, go to the **Details** tab and note the
   **cluster URL** and **API key**.

## Run the recipe

### Clone the repository

Clone or download the
[Weaviate recipes repository](https://github.com/weaviate/recipes):

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/weaviate/recipes.git
```

Navigate to the Box integration folder:

```bash theme={null}
cd recipes/integrations/data-platforms/box
```

Open the Jupyter Notebook (`weaviate_box.ipynb`) in your development
environment.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Weaviate recipes repository structure" />
</Frame>

### Configure authentication

The notebook includes a step to set authentication variables. Update the
code block in **step 3** with:

* Your **Box developer token**
* Your **Weaviate cluster URL** and **API key**

<Frame>
  <img alt="Authentication variables in the notebook" />
</Frame>

### Run the notebook

Execute each cell in the notebook sequentially. The notebook:

1. Uploads demo files to Box (or uses files you provide).
2. Extracts text content from the Box files.
3. Chunks the text and creates vector embeddings in Weaviate.
4. Uses the Weaviate Query Agent to answer questions about the content.

<Tip>
  The repository includes a `demo_files` folder with four 10-K financial
  reports for testing. You can replace these with your own files if you prefer
  to work with different content.
</Tip>

The final cell demonstrates querying your data. You can modify the query in
**step 7** to ask different questions based on your content.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Final answer from the Weaviate Query Agent" />
</Frame>

## Next steps

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Expand your data">
    Upload additional files to Box such as annual reports, articles, or any
    documents you want to search, and rerun the notebook to embed them in
    Weaviate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Customize the Query Agent">
    Adjust the `system_prompt` parameter to change the agent's behavior.
    For example, you can request more detailed analysis or a specific
    response format.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Explore other Weaviate agents">
    Weaviate offers additional agent types. The
    [Transformation Agent](https://docs.weaviate.io/agents#transformation-agent) can
    preprocess your data, and the
    [Personalization Agent](https://docs.weaviate.io/agents#personalization-agent) can
    tailor responses to individual users.

# Box AI Studio
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/ai-studio/index

Create, manage, and deploy custom AI agents through the Box AI Studio API.

<Warning>
  Box AI Studio is available only for Enterprise Advanced accounts.
</Warning>

Box AI Studio lets you create custom AI agents through the API. Unlike the standard <Link href="/ai/box-ai-api">Box AI API</Link> endpoints that use Box's default agent configurations, AI Studio agents let you define purpose-built agents with custom instructions, model selections, and access controls.

For example, you can create an agent that acts as a compliance consultant -- answering questions about customer documentation with FedRAMP Moderate compliance in mind -- and restricts access to specific users or groups.

## Enabling Box AI Studio

Enable Box AI Studio in the Admin Console to start creating agents. For admin instructions, see <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/37228079461267-Enabling-Box-AI-Studio-and-Managing-Agents">Enabling Box AI Studio and Managing Agents</Link>.

Step-by-step instructions are available in the <Link href="/guides/ai-studio/getting-started-ai-studio">Get started with AI Studio</Link> guide.

# AI model configuration override reference
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-overrides

Full ai_agent parameter reference with sample configurations and parameter details.

The `ai_agent` configuration allows you to override the default AI model configuration. It is available for the following endpoints:

* <Link href="/reference/post-ai-ask#param-ai-agent">`POST ai/ask`</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/post-ai-text-gen#param-ai-agent">`POST ai/text_gen`</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/post-ai-extract#param-ai-agent">`POST ai/extract`</Link>
* <Link href="/reference/post-ai-extract-structured#param-ai-agent">`POST ai/extract_structured`</Link>

<Tip>
  Use the <Link href="/reference/get-ai-agent-default">`GET ai_agent_default`</Link> endpoint to fetch the default configuration before applying overrides.
</Tip>

The override examples include:

* Replacing the default AI model with a custom one based on your organization's needs.
* Tweaking the base `prompt` to allow a more customized user experience.
* Changing a parameter, such as `temperature`, to make the results more or less creative.

### Differences in parameter sets

The set of parameters available for `ask`, `text_gen`, `extract`, `extract_structured` differs slightly, depending on the API call.

* The agent configuration for the `ask` endpoint includes `basic_text`,   `basic_text_multi`, `long_text` and `long_text_multi` parameters. This is because of the `mode` parameter you use to specify if the request is for a single item or multiple items. If you selected `multiple_item_qa` as the `mode`, you can also use `multi` parameters for overrides.

* The agent configuration for `text_gen` includes the `basic_gen` parameter
  that is used to generate text.

### LLM endpoint params

The `llm_endpoint_params` configuration options differ depending on the overall AI model being <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-google">Google</Link>, <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-openai">OpenAI</Link> or <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-aws">AWS</Link> based.

For example, both `llm_endpoint_params` objects accept a `temperature` parameter, but the outcome differs depending on the model.

For Google and AWS models, the [`temperature`][google-temp] is used for sampling during response generation, which occurs when `top-P` and `top-K` are applied. Temperature controls the degree of randomness in the token selection.

For OpenAI models, [`temperature`][openai-temp] is the sampling temperature with values between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 make it more focused and deterministic. When introducing your own configuration, use `temperature` or `top_p` but not both.

### System message

The `system_message` parameter's aim is to help the LLM understand its role and what it’s supposed to do.
For example, if your solution is processing travel itineraries, you can add a system message saying:

```sh theme={null}
You are a travel agent aid. You are going to help support staff process large amounts of schedules, tickets, etc.
```

This message is separate from the content you send in, but it can improve the results.

### Number of tokens for completion

The `num_tokens_for_completion` parameter represents the number of [tokens][openai-tokens] Box AI can return. This number can vary based on the model used.

# AI agent configuration versioning
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-versioning

See how Box versions AI agent snapshots, the 12-month support guarantee, and transition timelines.

<Note>
  Box updates the default models across the endpoints on a regular basis in order to stay up to date with the most advanced options. If a default model is updated, it will be posted in the developer changelog.
</Note>

AI agent configuration versioning gives the developers more control over AI agent versioning and ensures consistent responses.

AI agent configuration versioning adopts the following principles:

* Each AI agent snapshot is supported for at least 12 months, unless there are factors outside of Box's control. For example, a Large Language Model (LLM) may get deprecated.
* An AI agent snapshot is available unless a new, stable agent version is released
* A 6-month window is provided to test and transition to the new snapshot.

## Historical AI agent configuration

The values in the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/get-agent-default-config">default agent configuration</Link> used by the LLM gateway often change to achieve the best possible answer quality.

To make sure your configurations are not affected in a negative way, you can use the historical AI agent configuration provided below to <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-overrides">override the default one</Link>.

# Ask questions to Box AI
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/ask-questions

Use the POST /ai/ask endpoint to ask questions about one or more files stored in Box.

Box AI API allows you to
ask a question about a supplied file or
a set of files, and get a response based on
the content.
For example, while viewing a document in Box,
you can ask Box AI to summarize the content.

You can also ask questions against a <Link href="/guides/hubs-api/index">Box Hub</Link>. When you pass a hub as the item, Box AI searches the hub's indexed content and returns answers grounded in the curated documents the querying user has access to. See <Link href="#ask-questions-about-a-hub">Ask questions about a hub</Link> below.

## Before you start

Make sure you followed the steps listed in <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/prerequisites">getting started with Box AI</Link> to create a platform app and authenticate.

## Send a request

## Use cases

## Ask questions about an item

This example shows how to ask a question about one or more items using the `POST ask/ai` API. When using this endpoint, remember to specify the `mode` parameter depending on the number of items you want to supply.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/ask" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
    "mode": "single_item_qa",
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "12345678",
            "type": "file"
        }
    ],
    "prompt": "List the guidelines on creating questions in Box AI for Documents"
}'
```

The response will be as follows:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "The guidelines for working with questions in Box AI for Documents are as follows:\n\n1. Box AI pulls information only from the document loaded in preview.\n2. If questions fall outside the scope of the document, Box AI will inform you that it cannot answer.\n3. Be specific when asking questions; use parameters like numbered lists, brevity, tables, and central themes or key points.\n4. Aim to stay within the scope of the document.\n5. Focus on text-based responses only.",
    "created_at": "2024-11-04T02:30:09.557-08:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

## Ask questions about a hub

Instead of supplying individual files, you can point Box AI at an entire <Link href="/guides/hubs-api/index">Box Hub</Link> and ask questions across all of its curated content. This is useful for knowledge bases such as RFP answer banks, policy libraries, and product documentation portals, where you want natural language answers grounded in an approved set of materials without managing file IDs yourself.

To query a hub, set `items.type` to `hubs` and `items.id` to the hub ID. A hub must be supplied as the only item in the request. The example below uses `single_item_qa` mode, which is the pattern shown in the <Link href="/tutorials/sales-rfp-answer-bank">Sales RFP answer bank tutorial</Link>.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/ask" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
    "mode": "single_item_qa",
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "98765432",
            "type": "hubs"
        }
    ],
    "prompt": "What is our standard SLA for enterprise support?"
}'
```

Box AI searches the hub's indexed content and returns an answer grounded in your approved materials. Because hubs inherit Box permissions, Box AI only references documents the querying user has access to. The hub must have AI features enabled (see <Link href="/guides/hubs-api/hubs/update-hub">Update a hub</Link>).

For an end-to-end walkthrough that provisions a hub, populates it with content, and queries it with Box AI, see the <Link href="/tutorials/sales-rfp-answer-bank">Build a sales RFP answer bank with Box Hubs and AI</Link> tutorial.

## Ask questions with `content` parameter

If you use the `content` parameter as the source of input for Box AI, it will use it as the primary source.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/ask" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
    "mode": "single_item_qa",
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "12345678",
            "type": "file",
            "content": "This is a document about Box AI For documents. It consists of the functionality summary and guidelines on how to work with Box AI. Additionally, it provides a set of best practices for creating questions."
        }
    ],
    "prompt": "List the guidelines on creating questions in Box AI for Documents"
}'
```

The response to this request is based on the `content` parameter instead of the file's content:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "The document does not provide specific guidelines on working with questions in Box AI for Documents. It only mentions that it includes a set of best practices for creating questions, but the details of those guidelines are not included in the text provided. If you have more information or another document, I can help further!",
    "created_at": "2024-11-04T02:31:51.125-08:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

## Ask questions with `citations` parameter

Setting the `citations` parameter to `true` causes the response to include excerpts from source file or files Box AI used to compile the answer.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/ask" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -d '{
    "mode": "multiple_item_qa",
    "include_citations": true,
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "12345678",
            "type": "file"
        }
    ],
    "prompt": "List the guidelines on working with responses in Box AI for Documents"
}'
```

The resulting answer includes the source file and direct content citations.

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "The guidelines for working with questions in Box AI for Documents are as follows:\n\n1. Box AI pulls information only from the document loaded in preview, and cannot answer questions outside its scope.\n2. Be specific when asking questions; use parameters like numbered lists, brevity, tables, and central themes or key points.\n3. Examples of better phrasing include asking for a numbered list of key points instead of just \"list key points,\" and requesting a succinct outline of important points rather than a general inquiry about the document's purpose.\n4. Stay within the scope of the document and focus on text-based responses only.",
    "created_at": "2024-11-04T02:35:00.578-08:00",
    "completion_reason": "done",

# Override AI model configuration
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/default-agent-overrides

Step-by-step examples of overriding prompts and models for ask, text_gen, and extract endpoints.

## Before you start

Make sure you followed the steps listed in <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/prerequisites">getting started with Box AI</Link> to create a platform app and authenticate.
To get more context, read about <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-overrides">agent overrides</Link>.

## Override prompt

This example shows how to use the `prompt_template` parameter to change the
query result.
The first step is to ask Box AI to summarize a document about Box AI for Documents.
The `mode` parameter is set to `single_item_qa` because only one document is supplied.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/ask" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-H "authorization: <Bearer TOKEN>" \
-d '{
     "mode": "single_item_qa",
     "prompt": "Summarize this article about Box AI for Documents",
     "items": [
          {
               "type": "file",
               "id": "123467890"
          }
       ]
     }'
```

You will get a response similar to the following:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "Box AI for Documents is a tool that enhances document analysis by allowing users to summarize content, identify key points, and draft outlines directly from files in Box. It supports various file types, including text documents, spreadsheets, and presentation slides. Users can initiate interactions with Box AI through the web app, where they can select suggestions or type specific questions. Responses are generated in real time, and users have options to save or clear chat history. The document also provides guidelines for effective inquiries and troubleshooting tips for potential issues with using Box AI.",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T00:29:07.283-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

To further improve the result, you can use the `prompt_template` parameter to add some more instructions for Box AI. In this example, let's change the tone of the response.

```sh theme={null}
{
    "prompt": "Summarize this article about Box AI for Documents",
    "mode": "single_item_qa",
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "123467890",
            "type": "file"
        }
    ],
    "ai_agent": {
        "type": "ai_agent_ask",
        "basic_text": {
            "prompt_template": "prompt_template": "{user_question} Write the summary in an informal way.{content}"
        },
      }
    }
}
```

The response would be slightly less formal:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "Box AI for Documents is a tool that helps you analyze and gain insights from your documents in Box. You can use it to summarize content, identify key points, and draft outlines, making it easier to handle meeting notes, reports, and marketing materials. To get started, just open a file in the Box web app and click the Box AI button. It offers quick suggestions like summarizing the document or checking for next steps. Responses are generated in real time, and you can save them or clear chat history as needed. Just remember, Box AI only pulls info from the document you're viewing, so be specific with your questions!",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T00:38:01.767-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

## Override AI model (text generation)

This example shows you how changing the AI model in the `ai_agent` options can influence the way the text is generated.

First let's generate some text using the `POST ai/text_gen` endpoint. This endpoint is using the OpenAI 3.5 turbo model by default.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/text_gen" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
     -d '{
          "prompt": "Write a short post about Box AI for documents.Make it highlight the benefits of the solution. You can add some emoticons.",
          "items": [
               {
                    "id": "123467890",
                    "type": "file"
               }
          ]
     }
```

The response is as follows:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "🌟 Exciting News! 🌟\n\nIntroducing Box AI for documents - your new best friend in creating smarter, more efficient content! 🤖💡\n\n🔹 Say goodbye to manual searching and organizing - Box AI does it all for you!\n🔹 Enjoy lightning-fast document analysis and categorization.\n🔹 Boost productivity with automated suggestions and smart recommendations.\n🔹 Collaborate seamlessly with real-time insights and intelligent tagging.\n\nExperience the future of document creation with Box AI - making work easier, faster, and more fun! 🚀💻 #BoxAI #SmartDocuments",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T01:19:06.22-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

Let's change the model using the `ai_agent` configuration:

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/text_gen" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer TOKEN" \
     -d '{
          "prompt": "Write a short post about Box AI for documents.Make it highlight the benefits of the solution. You can add some emoticons.",
          "items": [
               {
                    "id": "123467890",
                    "type": "file"
               }
          ],
          "ai_agent": {
               "type": "ai_agent_text_gen",
               "basic_gen": {
                 "model": "openai__gpt_4o_2024_05_13"
          }
       }
     }

```

After the model switch, the response is slightly different:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "🚀 **Boost Your Productivity with Box AI for Documents!** 📄✨\n\nSay goodbye to tedious document creation and editing! With Box AI, you can streamline your workflow and focus on what truly matters. Here’s why you’ll love it:\n\n1. **Smart Suggestions** 🤖: Get real-time recommendations to enhance your content.\n2. **Automated Formatting** 📝: Ensure consistency across all your documents effortlessly.\n3. **Collaboration Made Easy** 👥: Work seamlessly with your team, no matter where they are.\n4. **Time-Saving Templates** ⏳: Use pre-built templates to speed up document creation.\n5. **Enhanced Accuracy** ✅: Reduce errors with intelligent proofreading.\n\nTransform the way you work with documents and experience a new level of efficiency with Box AI! 🌟",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T01:28:36.777-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

As you can see the responses differ to some extent. Thanks to the model switch, you can optimize your interaction with Box AI and choose the most suitable model for your needs.

## Override AI model (metadata extraction)

Switching models can also give us different results for metadata extraction.
Let's use a sample contract to extract the metadata. In this example, the model used is Google Gemini.

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract' \
     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
     -d '{
        "prompt": "Extract any data that would be good metadata to save for future contracts.",
        "items": [
          {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "123456789"
          }
        ]
      }'
```

The response is a set of metadata:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "{\"Buyer Legal Entity Name\": \"Acme Retail Corp.\", \"Supplier Legal Entity Name\": \"Acme Manufacturing Inc.\", \"Buyer Contact Person\": \"Jane Doe\", \"Supplier Contact Person\": \"Eva Smith\", \"Payment Term\": \"payment in full before pickup of goods\", \"Invoice Currency\": \"Euro\", \"Incoterm\": \"FCA Amsterdam\", \"Governing Law\": \"laws state jurisdiction in which supplier is located\", \"Effective Date\": \"March 27, 2024\", \"Buyer Signature Date\": \"March 28th, 2024\", \"Supplier Signature Date\": \"March 28th, 2024\"}",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T01:53:14.993-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

Let's change the model to the most recent OpenAI option:

```sh theme={null}
curl -i -L 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract' \
     -H 'content-type: application/json' \
     -H 'authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
     -d '{
        "prompt": "Extract any data that would be good metadata to save for future contracts.",
        "items": [
          {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "123456789"
          }
        ],
          "ai_agent": {
            "type": "ai_agent_extract",
            "basic_text": {
                "model": "openai__gpt_4o_2024_05_13"
            }
         }
      }'
```

Using this model results in a response listing more metadata entries:

```sh theme={null}
{
    "answer": "{\"Effective Date\": \"March 27, 2024\", \"Supplier Legal Entity Name\": \"Acme Manufacturing Inc.\", \"Supplier Registered Office Address\": \"123 Main Street\", \"Supplier Contact Person(s)\": \"Eva Smith\", \"Buyer Legal Entity Name\": \"Acme Retail Corp.\", \"Buyer Registered Office Address\": \"456 Market Avenue\", \"Buyer Contact Person(s)\": \"Jane Doe\", \"Incoterm\": \"FCA Amsterdam\", \"Payment Term\": \"payment in full before pickup of goods\", \"Invoice Currency\": \"Euro\", \"Buyer Printed Name\": \"Jane Doe\", \"Buyer Date\": \"March 28th, 2024\", \"Buyer Title / Position\": \"CEO\", \"Seller Printed Name\": \"Eve Smith\", \"Seller Date\": \"March 28th, 2024\", \"Seller Title / Position\": \"Sales Manager\"}",
    "created_at": "2024-10-08T01:54:28.099-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

## Use cases

This example shows you how to extract metadata from a sample invoice.

### Create the request

To get the response from Box AI, call `POST /2.0/ai/extract` endpoint with the following parameters:

* `prompt` that can be a query, or a structured or unstructured list of fields to extract.
* `type` and `id` of the file to extract the data from.

### Create the prompt

Depending on the use case and the level of detail, you can construct various prompts.

#### Use plain text

Because this endpoint allows freeform prompts, you can use plain text to get the information.

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data '{
    "prompt": "find the document type (invoice or po), vendor, total, and po number",
    "items": [
        {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "1443721424754"
        }
    ]
}'
```

In such a case, the response will be based on the keywords included in the text:

```bash theme={null}
{
    "answer": "{\"Document Type\": \"Invoice\", \"Vendor\": \"Quasar Innovations\", \"Total\": \"$1,050\", \"PO Number\": \"003\"}",
    "created_at": "2024-05-31T10:30:51.223-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

#### Use specific terms

If you don't want to write the entire sentence, the prompt can consist of terms that you expect to find in an invoice:

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data '{
    "prompt": "{\"vendor\",\"total\",\"doctype\",\"date\",\"PO\"}",
    "items": [
        {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "1443721424754"
        }
    ]
}'
```

Using this approach results in a list of terms provided in the request and their values:

```bash theme={null}
{
    "answer": "{\"vendor\": \"Quasar Innovations\", \"total\": \"$1,050\", \"doctype\": \"Invoice\", \"PO\": \"003\"}",
    "created_at": "2024-05-31T10:28:51.906-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

#### Use key-value pairs

The prompt can also be a list of key-value pairs that helps Box AI to come up with the metadata structure. This approach requires listing the key-value pairs within a  `fields` array.

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data '{
          "prompt": "{\"fields\":   [{\"key\":\"vendor\",\"displayName\":\"Vendor\",\"type\":\"string\",\"description\":\ "Vendorname\"},{\"key\":\"documentType\",\"displayName\":\"Type\",\"type\":\"string\",\"description\":\"\"}]}",
    "items": [
        {
            "type": "file",
            "id": "1443721424754"
        }
    ]
}'
```

The response includes the `fields` present in the file, along with their values:

```bash theme={null}
{
    "answer": "{\"vendor\": \"Quasar Innovations\", \"documentType\": \"Invoice\"}",
    "created_at": "2024-05-31T10:15:38.17-07:00",
    "completion_reason": "done"
}
```

# Extract metadata from file (structured)
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/extract-metadata-structured

Use the POST /ai/extract_structured endpoint to extract metadata using templates, field definitions, or the Enhanced Extract Agent.

With Box AI API, you can extract metadata from the provided file
and get the result in the form of key-value pairs.
As input, you can either create a structure using the `fields` parameter, or use an already defined metadata template.
To learn more about creating templates, see [Creating metadata templates in the Admin Console][templates-console] or use the <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">metadata template API</Link>. You can also [autofill metadata in templates][autofill-metadata] using our Standard or Enhanced Extraction Agent.

## Supported file formats

The endpoint supports the following file formats:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Documents">
    * PDF
    * DOC
    * DOCX
    * GDOC
    * ODT
    * Box Note
    * TEXT
    * RTF
    * XDW
    * AS
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Images">

    * Languages: `.js`, `.py`, `.css`, `.php`, `.sql`
    * JSON
    * HTML
    * XML
    * MD
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Box AI automatically applies optical character recognition (OCR) when processing image files (TIFF, PNG, JPEG) and scanned documents. This eliminates the need to convert images to PDF before extraction, saving time and simplifying your integration.

## Supported languages

Box AI can extract metadata from documents in the following languages:

* English
* Japanese
* Chinese
* Korean

- Cyrillic-based languages (such as Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian)

No additional configuration is required to use different languages or image formats. Box AI automatically detects the language and applies OCR when needed.

### `struct` and `table` field types

The Box AI `extract_structured` API supports two complex field types — `struct` and
`table` in addition to the existing scalar types (`string`, `float`, `date`, `enum`,
`multiSelect`).
The `struct` and `table` types allow you to extract grouped and repeating structured
data from documents.

<Tip>
  For best results, use the [enhanced extract agent](/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/extract-metadata-structured#enhanced-extract-agent).
</Tip>

#### `struct` field type

Use the `struct` type to group multiple related sub-fields into a single named JSON object.
This is useful when you want to extract a set of related values that belong together and
receive them as one structured object rather than separate flat fields.
Example: an address or a person's contact details.

A `struct` field requires a `fields` array that defines its sub-fields. Each sub-field is an
object with the following properties:

* `key`: The unique identifier for the sub-field.
* `type`: The type of the sub-field. Supported types are `string`, `text`, `number`, `float`, `boolean`, `date`, `enum`, `multiSelect`, and `array[<simple_type>]` (e.g. `array[string]`). Nested `struct` or `table` types are not supported as sub-fields.
* `displayName`: The display name of the sub-field.
* `description`: A description of the sub-field.
* `prompt`: Additional context about the sub-field that can include how to find and format it.

<Tip>
  You can add a prompt at the `struct` field level when instructions apply to the whole grouped object.
</Tip>

The output is a single JSON object containing the extracted sub-field values.

**Example request for the `struct` field type**

```json theme={null}
{
  "fields": [
    {
      "key": "address",
      "displayName": "Address",
      "type": "struct",
      "fields": [
        { "key": "street_name", "type": "string" },
        { "key": "home_number", "type": "string" },
        { "key": "postal_code", "type": "string" },
        { "key": "city", "type": "string" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

**Response:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "answer": {
    "address": {
      "street_name": "Main St",
      "home_number": "123",
      "postal_code": "94105",
      "city": "San Francisco"
    }
  }
}
```

#### `table` field type

Use the `table` type to extract repeating rows of structured data as an array of JSON objects,
where each object represents one row.

This is useful when a document contains multiple instances of the same data structure,
for example: line items in an invoice or entries in a tax table.

A `table` field requires a `fields` array that defines the columns (sub-fields) of each row.
The sub-field properties and supported types are identical to those of `struct`.

<Tip>
  Table extraction is not limited to visually formatted tables. The `table` type correctly extracts repeating data whether it appears as a grid, key-value pairs, a form layout, or plain prose.
</Tip>

The output is an array of JSON objects, where each object represents one extracted row.

**Example request for the `table` field type**

```json theme={null}
{
  "fields": [
    {
      "key": "line_items",
      "displayName": "Line Items",
      "type": "table",
      "fields": [
        { "key": "description", "type": "string" },
        { "key": "quantity", "type": "float" },
        { "key": "amount", "type": "float" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

**Response:**

```json theme={null}
{
  "answer": {
    "line_items": [
      { "description": "Desk", "quantity": 2.0, "amount": 399.99 },
      { "description": "Chair", "quantity": 4.0, "amount": 149.99 }
    ]
  }
}
```

#### Supported sub-field types

The following types are supported within both struct and table fields.

| Type          | Notes                     |
| ------------- | ------------------------- |
| `string`      | Scalar or array\[string]  |
| `text`        | Scalar or array\[text]    |
| `number`      | Scalar or array\[number]  |
| `float`       | Scalar or array\[float]   |
| `boolean`     | Scalar or array\[boolean] |
| `date`        | Scalar or array\[date]    |
| `enum`        | Single occurrence only    |
| `multiSelect` | Single occurrence only    |

<Warning>
  Nested `struct` and `table` types are not supported as sub-fields.
</Warning>

## Use cases

This example shows you how to extract metadata from a sample invoice in a structured way.
Let's assume you want to extract the vendor name, invoice number, and a few more details.

<Frame>
  <img alt="sample invoice" />
</Frame>

### Create the request

To get the response from Box AI, call `POST /2.0/ai/extract_structured` endpoint with the following parameters:

* `items.type` and `items.id` to specify the file to extract the data from.
* `fields` to specify the data that you want to extract from the given file.
* `metadata_template` to supply an already existing metadata template.

<Note>
  You can use either `fields` or `metadata_template` to specify your structure, but not both.
</Note>

### Use `fields` parameter

The `fields` parameter allows you to specify the data you want to extract. Each `fields` object has a subset of parameters you can use to add more information about the searched data.
For example, you can add the field type, description, or even a prompt with some additional context.

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract_structured' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>'' \
--data '{
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "1517628697289",
            "type": "file"
        }
    ],
    "fields": [
        {
            "key": "document_type",
            "type": "enum",
            "prompt": "what type of document is this?",
            "options": [
                {
                    "key": "Invoice"
                },
                {
                    "key": "Purchase Order"
                },
                {
                    "key": "Unknown"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "key": "document_date",
            "type": "date"
        },
        {
            "key": "vendor",
            "description": "The name of the entity.",
            "prompt": "Which vendor is sending this document.",
            "type": "string"
        },
        {
            "key": "document_total",
            "type": "float"
        }
    ]
  }'
```

The response lists the specified fields and their values:

```bash theme={null}
{
    "document_date": "2024-02-13",
    "vendor": "Quasar Innovations",
    "document_total": $1050,
    "document_type": "Purchase Order"
}
```

### Use metadata template

If you prefer to use a metadata template, you can provide its `template_key`, `type`, and `scope`.

```bash theme={null}
curl --location 'https://api.box.com/2.0/ai/extract_structured' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
--data '{
    "items": [
        {
            "id": "1517628697289",
            "type": "file"
        }
    ],
    "metadata_template": {
        "template_key": "rbInvoicePO",
        "type": "metadata_template",
        "scope": "enterprise_1134207681"
    }
}'
```

The response lists the fields included in the metadata template and their values:

```bash theme={null}
{
  "documentDate": "February 13, 2024",
  "total": "$1050",
  "documentType": "Purchase Order",
  "vendor": "Quasar Innovations",
  "purchaseOrderNumber": "003"
}
```

### Enhanced Extract Agent

To use the Enhanced Extract Agent, specify the `ai_agent` object as follows:

```bash theme={null}
{
  "ai_agent": {
    "type": "ai_agent_id", 
    "id": "enhanced_extract_agent"
  }
}
```

To extract data using the Enhanced Extract Agent you need one of the following:

* [Inline field definitions][inline-field] (best when fields change frequently)
* [Metadata template][metadata-template] (best when fields stay consistent)

See the sample code snippet using Box Python SDK:

```Python theme={null}
from box_sdk_gen import (
    AiAgentReference,
    AiAgentReferenceTypeField,
    AiItemBase,
    AiItemBaseTypeField,
    BoxClient,
    BoxCCGAuth,
    CCGConfig,
    CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplate
)

# Create your client credentials grant config from the developer console
ccg_config = CCGConfig(
    client_id="my_box_client_id", # replace with your client id
    client_secret="my_box_client_secret", # replace with your client secret
    user_id="my_box_user_id", # replace with the box user id that has access
                              # to the file you are referencing
)
auth = BoxCCGAuth(config=ccg_config)
client = BoxClient(auth=auth)
# Create the agent config referencing the enhanced extract agent
enhanced_extract_agent_config = AiAgentReference(
    id="enhanced_extract_agent",
    type=AiAgentReferenceTypeField.AI_AGENT_ID
)
# Use the Box SDK to call the extract_structured endpoint
box_ai_response = client.ai.create_ai_extract_structured(
    # Create the items array containing the file information to extract from
    items=[
        AiItemBase(
            id="my_box_file_id", # replace with the file id
            type=AiItemBaseTypeField.FILE
        )
    ],
    # Reference the Box Metadata template 
    metadata_template=CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplate(
        template_key="InvoicePO",
        scope="enterprise"
    ),
    # Attach the agent config you created earlier
    ai_agent=enhanced_extract_agent_config,
)
print(f"box_ai_response: {box_ai_response.answer}")
```

# Extract APIs overview and use cases
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/extract-use-cases

Explore use cases for the Box AI Extract API, including structured and freeform metadata extraction across industries.

Data extraction can be challenging because source content varies widely with different layouts, templates, and file types. The Box Extract API provides two AI-powered endpoints: structured extraction and freeform extraction that standardize how you extract metadata from files in Box. With these endpoints, you can:

* Extract specific fields into a consistent schema or Box metadata template (structured extraction).
* Use enhanced extraction for more complex use cases and improved accuracy powered by advanced AI models (structured extraction).
* Extract content when the target fields are not known ahead of time (freeform extraction).
* Run extractions without building your own orchestration, permission checks, or throttling logic around the extraction workflow.
* Extract data from documents in various languages, file formats, scanned documents, or photos.

To explore the possibilities of these endpoints, discover the following use cases in various industries:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Sales and finance operations">
    **Recommended endpoint:** structured metadata extraction (`POST /2.0/ai/extract_structured`)

    Ideal for high-volume, standardized documents where you need predictable data types:

    * **Automated data entry:** Structured metadata extraction ensures consistent JSON response every time thanks to a preconfigured metadata template.
    * **Invoices and purchase orders:** Extract line items, totals, and dates.
    * **Client contracts:** Parse standardized fields like "Effective Date" or "Total Contract Value" to update CRM records.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Legal and HR">
    **Recommended endpoint:** freeform metadata extraction (`POST /2.0/ai/extract`)

    Ideal for queries where document structure is not known ahead of time or varies:

    * **HR onboarding:** Extract key personal details from diverse offer letters or candidate resumes.
    * **NDA clauses:** Extract specific NDA clauses from legal documents.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Industry-specific solutions">
    Use advanced features like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and enhanced extraction agent for regulated sectors:

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Financial services">
        * **Know Your Customer (KYC) documents:** Verify user’s identity by extracting text from scanned passports or driver's licenses.
        * **Loan origination:** Automate income verification by pulling data from scanned utility bills or pay stubs.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Life Sciences">
        * **Clinical Trial Enrollment:** Extract patient criteria from medical forms to match candidates with trials.
        * **Regulatory submissions:** Organize and validate the data required for submissions such as FDA or EMA.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Public Sector">
        * **Permit applications:** Accelerate zoning approvals by validating required documentation.
        * **Public records requests:** Automatically classify and prioritize documents for public requests such as Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Core benefits of using the Box Extract API

* **Managed scaling:** The Box Extract API is designed to handle queues and rate limits, so you can run high-volume processing.
* **No defensive code:** The Box Extract API is model-agnostic, which enables switching between supported LLMs with minimal code changes and minimizing vendor lock-in.
* **Security and compliance:** All extracted data inherits the enterprise-grade security and governance policies of Box.

# Generate text with Box AI
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/generate-text

Use the POST /ai/text_gen endpoint to generate or refine text based on file content stored in Box.

You can use Box AI to generate text
based on provided content.
For example, you can ask Box AI to
generate a template based
on the content you read or create in Box Notes.
Then you can embed the generated text
directly into your document.

  A free developer account gives you access to the Box AI API. Try document summarization, question answering, and metadata extraction through the API.
</SignupCTA>

<Note>
  To use Box AI API, make sure it is enabled by an
  admin in the Admin Console. If you want to use
  the Box AI APIs in your sandbox, request access
  from the Box AI team using [this form][form].
</Note>

## Create a platform application

First you need to create a platform application
you will use to make calls. To create
an application, follow the guide
on <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/create">creating platform apps</Link>.

## Enable Box AI API access

To interact with Box AI API,
you need the `ai.readwrite` <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scope</Link>
added for your application.
Before you add the scope,
make sure that the Box Admin has granted you
the access to Box AI API. If you can't see the
**Manage AI** option in your app configuration
settings, contact your admin.

To add a scope:

1. Open your application in Developer Console.

2. Go to **Configuration** > **Required Access Scopes** > **Content Actions**

3. Select the **Manage AI** scope. Box automatically includes the scope when making the call. If you are added as an collaborator for a given app, but do not have Box AI API access, you see the **Manage AI** scope checked and grayed out. This means the app owner has the AI scope enabled but you cannot change this setting.

# Box AI
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/index

Technical reference for Box AI request handling, input limits, model behavior, and the agent override system.

This section contains developer guides for working with Box AI. For a summary of API capabilities, quick starts, and reference links, see the [Box AI API](/ai/box-ai-api) page.

The below guides cover what you need to know before you start writing code: how Box AI processes requests, what limits apply to different endpoints, how to control model behavior through agent overrides, and where to find the specific tutorial for your use case.

## How requests are processed

When you send a request to a Box AI endpoint, Box handles the model infrastructure for you. Your request flows through the following stages:

* **File retrieval**: Box reads the file content from the `items` array you provide. If you include the optional `content` parameter, that text is used as the primary input instead of the file's stored content. For `POST /ai/ask`, an `items` entry can also be a [Box Hub](/guides/hubs-api/index) (`"type": "hubs"`), in which case Box searches the hub's indexed content instead of a single file. See [Ask questions about a hub](/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/ask-questions#ask-questions-about-a-hub).
* **Representation generation**: For text-based files, Box converts the document into a text representation. For images, Box applies OCR automatically on supported endpoints.
* **Model routing**: Box routes the request to the default model for that endpoint and mode. You can override this with the `ai_agent` parameter.
* **Response generation**: The LLM processes your prompt against the file content and returns a result. Box handles token windowing for long documents (splitting content into chunks with embeddings for `long_text` configurations).

<Note>
  Box AI does not support multi-modal requests. If you send both images and text in the same request, only the text is processed.
</Note>

## Input limits

The limits below apply across Box AI endpoints. Exceeding these limits does not produce an error in most cases; Box truncates to the limit and processes what it can.

### Text and prompt limits

| Constraint                                         | Limit                                           |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| Prompt length                                      | 10,000 characters                               |
| Single file text representation (`single_item_qa`) | 2 MB of text. Content beyond 2 MB is truncated. |
| Multiple files (`multiple_item_qa`)                | Up to 25 files                                  |
| Items array for `text_gen`                         | Exactly 1 file                                  |
| Items array for `extract` and `extract_structured` | Exactly 1 file                                  |

### Image limits

| Constraint                          | Limit                                                    |
| ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Resolution                          | 1024 x 1024 pixels                                       |
| Maximum images or pages per request | 5. If more are provided, only the first 5 are processed. |

### OCR and file format support

OCR is **not** available on all endpoints.

| Endpoint                      | OCR             | Supported file formats |
| ----------------------------- | --------------- | ---------------------- |
| `POST /ai/text_gen`           | No              | Text-based files       |
| `POST /ai/extract`            | No              | Text-based files       |
| `POST /ai/extract_structured` | Yes (automatic) | PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG   |

### Language support

Box AI works in English, Japanese, French, Spanish, and many other languages. However, the underlying models are primarily trained on English, so prompts in other languages may return lower quality results.

The `extract_structured` endpoint has explicit multilingual support for:

* English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean
* Cyrillic-based languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian)

<Tip>
  Switch the language to Japanese to get better results for this language.
</Tip>

## The `ai_agent` override system

The following Box AI endpoints accept an optional `ai_agent` parameter that lets you override the default model configuration: `POST /ai/ask`, `POST /ai/text_gen`, `POST /ai/extract`, and `POST /ai/extract_structured`. This is how you control which LLM runs, how it behaves, and what instructions it receives.

### When to use overrides

* **Pinning a model version**: Box updates default models regularly. If your downstream process depends on consistent output, pin to a specific model to avoid unexpected changes.
* **Switching models**: Different models produce different results. You can switch to any model in the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models/index">supported models list</Link> to optimize for your use case.
* **Customizing prompts**: The `prompt_template` and `system_message` parameters let you steer the LLM's behavior without changing your application code.
* **Tuning creativity**: Adjust `temperature` and other `llm_endpoint_params` to control how deterministic or creative the output is.

### How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get the default configuration">
    Call <Link href="/reference/get-ai-agent-default">`GET /2.0/ai_agent_default`</Link> with the `mode` you want (`ask`, `text_gen`, `extract`, or `extract_structured`) to retrieve the current defaults.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Modify the configuration">
    Change the fields you need: `model`, `prompt_template`, `system_message`, `llm_endpoint_params`, or `num_tokens_for_completion`. Leave other fields unchanged.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pass it back in your request">
    Include the modified configuration as the `ai_agent` parameter in your `POST` request. Box uses your overrides for that request only.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Configuration structure by endpoint

The `ai_agent` object structure varies by endpoint because each handles content differently:

| Endpoint                      | Agent type                    | Configuration keys                                               |
| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `POST /ai/ask`                | `ai_agent_ask`                | `basic_text`, `basic_text_multi`, `long_text`, `long_text_multi` |
| `POST /ai/text_gen`           | `ai_agent_text_gen`           | `basic_gen`                                                      |
| `POST /ai/extract`            | `ai_agent_extract`            | `basic_text`, `long_text`                                        |
| `POST /ai/extract_structured` | `ai_agent_extract_structured` | `basic_text`, `long_text`                                        |

The `ask` endpoint has four configuration keys because it handles both single-item and multi-item modes, and both short and long documents. When using `multiple_item_qa` mode, the `_multi` variants apply.

For `long_text` configurations, Box splits the content into chunks using an embeddings model. You can configure the embeddings model and chunking strategy as part of the override.

### LLM parameter differences by provider

The `llm_endpoint_params` options depend on the model provider:

| Provider                                                                      | Param type      | Key difference                                                    |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-openai">OpenAI</Link> | `openai_params` | Use `temperature` **or** `top_p`, not both                        |
| <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-google">Google</Link> | `google_params` | `temperature` works with `top_p` and `top_k` together             |
| <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-llm-endpoint-params-aws">AWS</Link>       | `aws_params`    | Same as Google: `temperature` works alongside `top_p` and `top_k` |

For detailed override examples, see the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-overrides">AI model overrides</Link> guide and the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/default-agent-overrides">override tutorial</Link>.

### Model versioning

Box guarantees each AI agent configuration snapshot for at least 12 months, with a 6-month transition window when a new version is released. Default model changes are posted in the <Link href="/changelog">developer changelog</Link>. To avoid disruption, pin your agent configuration to a specific model version using overrides.

For full details, see <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-versioning">AI agent configuration versioning</Link>.

## Box AI for UI Elements

The <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview#box-ai-ui-element">Box AI for UI Elements</Link> integration embeds question-answering directly into Content Preview within your application. This lets end users interact with Box AI without leaving your UI.

## User Activity Reports

[User Activity Reports][uar] track Box AI interactions. Box admins can filter for the following action types:

| Action type         | Description                                            |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **AI query**        | The user queried Box AI and received a response        |
| **Failed AI query** | The user queried Box AI but did not receive a response |

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create and configure a Box application">
    The first step for any Box integration is to create and configure a Box
    application.

    1. Go to <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Box Developer Console</Link>.
    2. For this quick start, create an App with the `Client Credentials Grant`
       application type.
    3. Once the app is created, enable the following scopes:
       * Read all files and folders stored in Box
       * Write all files and folders stored in Box
       * Manage AI

    For more information about creating a new Box application, see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/first-application#create-your-first-application">Create your first application</Link>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Box metadata template">
    <Tip>
      This step requires Admin access to your Box Enterprise. If you do not have access
      in your current environment, contact your Box administrator.
    </Tip>

    Box AI enables you to extract data from documents in several ways:

    | Type                                | Description                                      | Use case                                                                                    |
    | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Freeform extraction                 | Accepts a string prompt.                         | Provide a natural language prompt.                                                          |
    | Structured extraction with template | Accepts a Box Metadata template key.             | Define fields and data types once; simplifies pushing back to Box as metadata.              |
    | Structured extraction with fields   | Accepts a JSON array of fields.                  | Run one-off extractions without creating a template.                                        |
    | Enhanced Extract Agent              | Uses a specialized agent with a reasoning model. | Use for complex documents or nuanced extraction; works with structured templates or fields. |

    For this quick start, create a Box metadata template to define the fields you want
    to extract from your documents. See <Link href="https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044194033-Customizing-Metadata-Templates">Customizing Metadata Templates</Link>
    for a detailed walkthrough of the steps to create a Box metadata template in the Box Admin
    Console.

    1. Give your template a name, for example, `Box AI extract quick start`.

    2. Create the following fields:

       | Field name     | Type   | Description                                                                              |
       | -------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
       | Client Name    | Text   | The name of the client receiving the invoice                                             |
       | Invoice Amount | Number | The total amount of the invoice after taxes and fees                                     |
       | Products       | Text   | The names of the products delivered in the invoice, returned as a comma-delimited string |

       <Tip>
         The field description is used by Box AI to supplement the prompt to the LLM to ensure the
         right data is extracted.
       </Tip>

    3. Click **Save** to create your template. Make note of the template key to use
       in a later step.

    When you save the template, a list of templates appears. To find the template key,
    open the template you just created and inspect the URL. The last part of the path is
    your template key. For example, the URL might look like this:
    `https://app.box.com/master/metadata/templates/boxAiExtractquick start`.

    In this case, the template key is `boxAiExtractquick start`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a test file">
    After preparing the template, select a file to test. For this quick start, use this
    <Link href="/static/quickstarts/extract/files/demo-invoice-20tax-2.pdf">sample invoice document</Link>.

    1. Download the test document, and then drag and drop it into your Box account.
    2. Get the file ID by opening the file in Box and inspecting the URL.
       The last part of the path is your file ID. For example, the URL might look like this:
       `https://app.box.com/file/2064123286902`

       In this case, the file ID is `2064123286902`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the environment">
    Now set up your development environment to run the extraction. For this quick start, use Python and the
    Box Python SDK version 10. Make sure you have Python 3.11 or higher installed on your machine.

    1. Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it.
    2. Create a virtual environment:
       ```bash theme={null}
       python3 -m venv .venv
       source .venv/bin/activate
       ```
    3. Install the Box Python SDK:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install "boxsdk~=10"
       ```
    4. Install the `python-dotenv` package to load environment variables from the `.env` file:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install python-dotenv
       ```
    5. Create an `.env` file in the root of your project directory and add the following
       environment variables, replacing the placeholder values with your actual Box app credentials
       and the IDs from the previous steps:
       ```bash theme={null}
        BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=your_box_developer_token

        BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY=your_metadata_template_key
        BOX_FILE_ID=your_box_file_id
       ```

    To get your developer token, go to the Box Developer Console, open your app, and navigate to
    the **Configuration** tab.

    6. Click **Generate Developer Token** to create a new token.

    <Tip>
      For simplicity, this quick start uses a short-lived developer token. In production, you
      should authenticate using your app’s configured method (for example, Client Credentials Grant)
      instead of a developer token.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the extract.py file">
    Your development environment is now ready to create the Python script to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Create a new file named `extract.py` in the root of your project directory and add the following code:

       ```python theme={null}
       import os

       from dotenv import load_dotenv

       from box_sdk_gen import (
           AiItemBase,
           BoxClient,
           BoxDeveloperTokenAuth,
           CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplate,
           CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplateTypeField,
           CreateFileMetadataByIdScope
       )

       load_dotenv()

       developer_token = os.getenv("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN")
       file_id = os.getenv("BOX_FILE_ID")
       template_key = os.getenv("BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY")

       def get_box_client(token: str) -> BoxClient:
           
           if not developer_token:
               raise ValueError("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is not set in environment variables.")
           
           auth = BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token=token)
           client = BoxClient(auth=auth)

           return client

       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")


       if __name__ == "__main__":
           main()
       ```

       This code loads the environment variables from the `.env` file, initializes the Box SDK client,
       and prints the current user's ID to validate that the client is working correctly.

    2. Run the script using the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python extract.py
       ```

       If the Box SDK client is set up correctly, the console displays your user ID. For example:

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789
       ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Extract data">
    With a working Box SDK client, you can add the code to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Between the `get_box_client` function and the `main` function, add the following function:

       ```python theme={null}
       def extract_metadata(client: BoxClient, file_id: str, template_key: str) -> dict:
           metadata = client.ai.create_ai_extract_structured(
               [AiItemBase(id=file_id)],
               metadata_template=CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplate(
                   template_key=template_key,
                   type=CreateAiExtractStructuredMetadataTemplateTypeField.METADATA_TEMPLATE,
                   scope="enterprise",
               ),
           )
           
           return metadata.to_dict()['answer']
       ```

       This function uses the Box AI `create_ai_extract_structured` method to extract metadata from the specified file.
       Your BoxClient, the file ID, and the metadata template key created earlier are sent to the function, which
       returns the extracted metadata as a dictionary.

    2. Add the function call to extract the metadata in the `main` function. Ensure that the new `main` function contains the following logic:

       ```python theme={null}
       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

           metadata = extract_metadata(client=client, file_id=file_id, template_key=template_key)

           print(f"Extracted Metadata: {metadata}")
       ```

       The SDK handles the API call to Box AI and returns the extracted metadata as an
       <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-extract-structured-response">`AiExtractStructuredResponse`</Link> object. In this quick start,
       the code converts this object to a dictionary and returns the `answer` field that contains the extracted
       key/value pairs.

    3. Print out the extracted metadata to the console to verify that the extraction was successful by running the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python extract.py
       ```

       If the extraction was successful, the console displays your user ID followed by the extracted metadata from the invoice document.

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789

       Extracted Metadata: {'clientName': 'ACME Inc', 'invoiceAmount': 1106.06, 'products': 'Polyol, Diisocyanate, 
       Carbon Dioxide, Laser, Lens, Oleic Acid, Glycerine, Sodium Tallowate, Paint Base, Polypropylene, Rubber, 
       Additive, Pigment, Aluminum Silicate, Magnesium Silicate, Zinc Oxide, Distilled Solvent, Petroleum Distillate, 
       Sulfur Dioxide, Sodium Benzoate, Dust cap, Ferrite cap, Cone and coil assembly, Cleaner, Polypropylene pellets, 
       Polypropylene chips, Polypropylene blocks, Polypropylene slag, Parts Wash Solvent, Jar, 
       Plastic Bottle - 15.2 FL Oz (450 ml), Polymer'}
       ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add Box metadata to the file">
    Now that you have extracted metadata from the document, you can use these key/value pairs in your
    application: push to databases, integrate with CRMs, feed to agents for processing, or trigger automated workflows.

    This quick start demonstrates pushing the extracted data back to Box as file metadata. Box metadata management
    enables powerful filtering and search capabilities across your content. For example, you can query
    all invoices over \$500 from the last 30 days, create dashboards in Box Apps, or surface key document
    insights directly in the Box web application.

    1. Push the extracted metadata back to Box by adding the following function between the `extract_metadata` function
       and the `main` function:

       ```python theme={null}
       def push_metadata(client: BoxClient, file_id: str, metadata: dict, template_key: str) -> dict:
           attached_metadata = client.file_metadata.create_file_metadata_by_id(
               file_id,
               CreateFileMetadataByIdScope.ENTERPRISE,
               template_key,
               metadata,
           )
           return attached_metadata.to_dict()
       ```

       This function uses the `create_file_metadata_by_id` method to attach metadata to the specified file, processing
       the BoxClient, file ID, metadata dictionary, and template key. The API itself returns a
       <Link href="/reference/resources/metadata--full">`MetadataFull`</Link> object. The function converts this object to a
       dictionary and returns it.

    2. Add the function call to push the metadata in the `main` function. Ensure that the updated `main` function
       contains the following logic:

       ```python theme={null}
       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

           metadata = extract_metadata(client=client, file_id=file_id, template_key=template_key)

           print(f"Extracted Metadata: {metadata}")

           attached_metadata = push_metadata(client=client, file_id=file_id, metadata=metadata, template_key=template_key)

           print(f"Attached Metadata: {attached_metadata}")
       ```

    3. Run the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python extract.py
       ```

       If the script is successful, the console displays your user ID, the extracted metadata, and the attached metadata response from Box. For example:

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789

       Extracted Metadata: {'clientName': 'ACME Inc', 'invoiceAmount': 1106.06, 'products': 'Polyol, Diisocyanate,

# Structured extraction with the Box AI Enhanced Extract Agent in Python
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-ai/quick-start/box-ai-extract-enhanced

Learn how to use the Box AI Enhanced Extract Agent to automatically extract data from large, complex documents using the Box Python SDK.

<Link href="/ai">Box AI</Link> exposes intelligent extraction capabilities that enable developers to automatically extract
key-value pairs from documents through a single API call. The Enhanced Extract Agent uses advanced reasoning models
to transform complex unstructured document content into actionable metadata without manual data entry, streamlining
document processing workflows for invoices, forms, contracts, and other business documents.

This quick start demonstrates how to configure the Box Python SDK and use Box AI to extract data from a stock purchase
agreement stored in Box.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create and configure a Box application">
    The first step for any Box integration is to create and configure a Box
    application.

    1. Go to <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Box Developer Console</Link>.
    2. For this quick start, create an App with the `Client Credentials Grant`
       application type.
    3. Once the app is created, enable the following scopes:
       * Read all files and folders stored in Box
       * Write all files and folders stored in Box
       * Manage AI

    For more information about creating a new Box application, see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/first-application#create-your-first-application">Create your first application</Link>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a test file">
    After preparing the template, select a file to test. For this quick start, use this
    <Link href="/static/quickstarts/extract/files/enhanced-extract-file.pdf">sample stock purchase agreement</Link>.

    1. Download the test document, and then drag and drop it into your Box account.
    2. Get the file ID by opening the file in Box and inspecting the URL.
       The last part of the path is your file ID. For example, the URL might look like this:
       `https://app.box.com/file/2064123286902`

       In this case, the file ID is `2064123286902`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the environment">
    Now set up your development environment to run the extraction. For this quick start, use Python and the
    Box Python SDK version 10. Make sure you have Python 3.11 or higher installed on your machine.

    1. Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it.
    2. Create a virtual environment:
       ```bash theme={null}
       python3 -m venv .venv
       source .venv/bin/activate
       ```
    3. Install the Box Python SDK:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install "boxsdk~=10"
       ```
    4. Install the `python-dotenv` package to load environment variables from the `.env` file:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install python-dotenv
       ```
    5. Create an `.env` file in the root of your project directory and add the following
       environment variables, replacing the placeholder values with your actual Box app credentials
       and the IDs from the previous steps:
       ```bash theme={null}
        BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=your_box_developer_token

        BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY=your_metadata_template_key
        BOX_FILE_ID=your_box_file_id
       ```

    To get your developer token, go to the Box Developer Console, open your app, and navigate to
    the **Configuration** tab.

    6. Click **Generate Developer Token** to create a new token.

    <Tip>
      For simplicity, this quick start uses a short-lived developer token. In production, you
      should authenticate using your app’s configured method (for example, Client Credentials Grant)
      instead of a developer token.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the enhanced-extract.py file">
    Your development environment is now ready to create the Python script to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Create a new file named `enhanced-extract.py` in the root of your project directory and add the following code:

       ```python theme={null}
       import os

       from dotenv import load_dotenv

       from box_sdk_gen import (
           AiAgentReference,
           AiAgentReferenceTypeField,
           AiItemBase,
           BoxClient,
           BoxDeveloperTokenAuth,
           CreateAiExtractStructuredFields,
           CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField
       )

       load_dotenv()

       developer_token = os.getenv("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN")
       file_id = os.getenv("BOX_FILE_ID")

       def get_box_client(token: str) -> BoxClient:
           
           if not developer_token:
               raise ValueError("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is not set in environment variables.")
           
           auth = BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token=token)
           client = BoxClient(auth=auth)

           return client

       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

       if __name__ == "__main__":
           main()
       ```

       This code loads the environment variables from the `.env` file, initializes the Box SDK client,
       and prints the current user's ID to validate that the client is working correctly.

    2. Run the script using the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python enhanced-extract.py
       ```

       If the Box SDK client is set up correctly, the console displays your user ID. For example:

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789
       ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Extract data">
    With a working Box SDK client, you can add the code to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Between the `get_box_client` function and the `main` function, add the following function:

       ```python theme={null}
       def extract_metadata(client: BoxClient, file_id: str) -> dict:

           enhanced_extract_config = AiAgentReference(
               id="enhanced_extract_agent",
               type=AiAgentReferenceTypeField.AI_AGENT_ID
           )

           fields=[
               CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
                   key="parties",
                   display_name="Parties",
                   description="The named parties involved",
                   prompt="A comma separated list of the named parties involved",
                   type="string",
               ),
               CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
                   key="effectiveDate",
                   display_name="Effective date",
                   description="The effective date of the contract",
                   prompt="The effective date of the contract",
                   type="date",
               ),
               CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
                   key="purchasePrice",
                   display_name="Purchase price",
                   description="The purchase price stated in the contract",
                   prompt="The purchase price stated in the contract",
                   type="float",
               ),
               CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
                   key="summary",
                   display_name="Summary",
                   description="A summary of the contract in 50 words or less",
                   prompt="A summary of the contract in 50 words or less including key obligations",
                   type="string",
               ),
               CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
                   key="recommendation",
                   display_name="Recommendation",
                   description="Should we make this purchase?",
                   prompt="Given the financial details, would you recommend proceeding with the purchase? Answer Yes or No.",
                   type="enum",
                   options=[
                       CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="Yes"),
                       CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="No"),
                   ],
               ),
           ]

           metadata = client.ai.create_ai_extract_structured(
               [ AiItemBase(id=file_id) ],
               fields=fields,
               ai_agent=enhanced_extract_config,
           )
           
           return metadata.to_dict()['answer']

       ```

       This function uses the Box AI `create_ai_extract_structured` method to extract metadata from the specified file.
       Your BoxClient and the file ID are sent to the function, which returns the extracted metadata as a dictionary.

       <Tip>
         The `fields` parameter defines the specific data points to extract from the document. You can also reference
         a metadata template key instead to extract fields defined in a Box metadata template.
       </Tip>

    2. Add the function call to extract the metadata in the `main` function. Ensure that the new `main` function contains the following logic:

       ```python theme={null}
       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

           metadata = extract_metadata(client=client, file_id=file_id)

           print(f"\n\nExtracted Metadata: {metadata}")
       ```

       The SDK handles the API call to Box AI and returns the extracted metadata as an
       <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-extract-structured-response">`AiExtractStructuredResponse`</Link> object. In this quick start,
       the code converts this object to a dictionary and returns the `answer` field that contains the extracted
       key/value pairs.

    3. Print out the extracted metadata to the console to verify that the extraction was successful by running the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python enhanced-extract.py
       ```

       If the extraction was successful, the console displays your user ID followed by the extracted metadata from the stock purchase agreement.

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789

       Extracted Metadata: {'parties': 'Argyle LLP, Suregood Family Trust', 'effectiveDate': '2023-03-31', 'purchasePrice': 231000000, 'summary': 'Argyle LLP agrees to purchase 51% of Erebor Life, Inc. from Suregood Family Trust for $231,000,000. The Seller must operate the business normally until closing, and the Buyer must pay the purchase price. The agreement is effective March 31, 2023.', 'recommendation': 'Yes'}
       ```

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create and configure a Box application">
    The first step for any Box integration is to create and configure a Box
    application.

    1. Go to <Link href="https://app.box.com/developers/console">Box Developer Console</Link>.
    2. For this quick start, create an App with the `Client Credentials Grant`
       application type.
    3. Once the app is created, enable the following scopes:
       * Read all files and folders stored in Box
       * Write all files and folders stored in Box
       * Manage AI

    For more information about creating a new Box application, see <Link href="/guides/getting-started/first-application#create-your-first-application">Create your first application</Link>.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload a test file">
    After preparing the template, select a file to test. For this quick start, use this
    <Link href="/static/quickstarts/extract/files/freeform-extract-file.pdf">sample W-2</Link>.

    1. Download the test document, and then drag and drop it into your Box account.
    2. Get the file ID by opening the file in Box and inspecting the URL.
       The last part of the path is your file ID. For example, the URL might look like this:
       `https://app.box.com/file/2064123286902`

       In this case, the file ID is `2064123286902`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the environment">
    Now set up your development environment to run the extraction. For this quick start, use Python and the
    Box Python SDK version 10. Make sure you have Python 3.11 or higher installed on your machine.

    1. Create a new directory for your project and navigate into it.
    2. Create a virtual environment:
       ```bash theme={null}
       python3 -m venv .venv
       source .venv/bin/activate
       ```
    3. Install the Box Python SDK:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install "boxsdk~=10"
       ```
    4. Install the `python-dotenv` package to load environment variables from the `.env` file:
       ```bash theme={null}
       pip install python-dotenv
       ```
    5. Create an `.env` file in the root of your project directory and add the following
       environment variables, replacing the placeholder values with your actual Box app credentials
       and the IDs from the previous steps:
       ```bash theme={null}
        BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN=your_box_developer_token

        BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY=your_metadata_template_key
        BOX_FILE_ID=your_box_file_id
       ```

    To get your developer token, go to the Box Developer Console, open your app, and navigate to
    the **Configuration** tab.

    6. Click **Generate Developer Token** to create a new token.

    <Tip>
      For simplicity, this quick start uses a short-lived developer token. In production, you
      should authenticate using your app’s configured method (for example, Client Credentials Grant)
      instead of a developer token.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the freeform-extract.py file">
    Your development environment is now ready to create the Python script to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Create a new file named `freeform-extract.py` in the root of your project directory and add the following code:

       ```python theme={null}
       import os

       from dotenv import load_dotenv

       from box_sdk_gen import (
           AiItemBase,
           BoxClient,
           BoxDeveloperTokenAuth
       )

       # Set up environment variables
       load_dotenv()

       developer_token = os.getenv("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN")
       file_id = os.getenv("BOX_FILE_ID")

       def get_box_client(token: str) -> BoxClient:
           
           if not developer_token:
               raise ValueError("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is not set in environment variables.")
           
           auth = BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token=token)
           client = BoxClient(auth=auth)

           return client

       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           # Get the current user and print the ID to validate the client is working
           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

       if __name__ == "__main__":
           main()
       ```

       This code loads the environment variables from the `.env` file, initializes the Box SDK client,
       and prints the current user's ID to validate that the client is working correctly.

    2. Run the script using the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python freeform-extract.py
       ```

       If the Box SDK client is set up correctly, the console displays your user ID. For example:

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789
       ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Extract data">
    With a working Box SDK client, you can add the code to extract data from the document using Box AI.

    1. Between the `get_box_client` function and the `main` function, add the following function:

       ```python theme={null}
       def extract_metadata(client: BoxClient, file_id: str) -> str:

           prompt = """
           firstName, lastName, wages, federalTaxWithheld, 
           socialSecurityWages, socialSecurityTaxWithheld, 
           medicareWagesAndTips, medicareTaxWithheld, 
           stateWages, stateTaxWithheld, 
           localWagesAndTips, localTaxWithheld
           """

           metadata = client.ai.create_ai_extract(
               prompt,
               [AiItemBase(id=file_id)]
           )
           
           return metadata.to_dict()['answer']
       ```

       This function uses the Box AI `create_ai_extract` method to extract metadata from the specified file.
       Your BoxClient and the file ID are sent to the function, which returns the extracted metadata as a dictionary.

    2. Add the function call to extract the metadata in the `main` function. Ensure that the new `main` function contains the following logic:

       ```python theme={null}
       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

           metadata = extract_metadata(client=client, file_id=file_id)

           print(f"\n\nExtracted Metadata: {metadata}")
       ```

       The SDK handles the API call to Box AI and returns the extracted metadata as an
       <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-extract-response">`AiExtractResponse`</Link> object. In this quick start,
       the code converts this object to a dictionary and returns the `answer` field that contains the extracted
       key/value pairs.

    3. Print out the extracted metadata to the console to verify that the extraction was successful by running the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python freeform-extract.py
       ```

       If the extraction was successful, the console displays your user ID followed by the extracted metadata from the W-2.

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789

       Extracted Metadata: {"firstName": "Wayne", "lastName": "Gatsby", "wages": "355000", "federalTaxWithheld": "125600", "socialSecurityWages": "355000", "socialSecurityTaxWithheld": "12300", "medicareWagesAndTips": "355000", "medicareTaxWithheld": "13200", "stateWages": "355,000", "stateTaxWithheld": "15000", "localWagesAndTips": "355000", "localTaxWithheld": "8000"}
       ```
  </Step>

       load_dotenv()

       developer_token = os.getenv("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN")
       file_id = os.getenv("BOX_FILE_ID")

       def get_box_client(token: str) -> BoxClient:
           
           if not developer_token:
               raise ValueError("BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN is not set in environment variables.")
           
           auth = BoxDeveloperTokenAuth(token=token)

       This function uses the Box AI `create_ai_ask` method to interrogate the specified file.
       Your BoxClient and file ID created earlier are sent to the function, which
       returns the summary of the file as a string.

    2. Add the function call to summarize the file in the `main` function. Ensure that the new `main` function contains the following logic:

       ```python theme={null}
       def main():
           client = get_box_client(token=developer_token)

           # Get the current user and print the ID to validate the client is working
           me = client.users.get_user_me()
           print(f"My user ID is {me.id}")

           summary = summarize_file(client=client, file_id=file_id)

           # Print the extracted metadata
           print(f"\n\nSummary: {summary}")
       ```

       The SDK handles the API call to Box AI and returns the summary as an
       <Link href="/reference/resources/ai-response--full">`AiResponseFull`</Link> object. In this quick start,
       the code converts this object to a dictionary and returns the `answer` field that contains the summary.

    3. Print out the summary to the console to verify that the operation was successful by running the following command in your terminal:

       ```bash theme={null}
       python summarize.py
       ```

       If the summarization was successful, the console displays your user ID followed by the summary from the test document.

       ```bash theme={null}
       My user ID is 123456789

       Summary: **Summary of 28 CFR § 2.20 (Paroling Policy Guidelines)**

       - The document sets forth the U.S. Parole Commission’s purpose and framework for national parole policy, emphasizing guidelines to promote consistent, equitable parole decisions while preserving individualized review.
       - It provides a matrix of customary total time-to-release ranges by offense severity categories (1–8) and offender parole prognosis (salient factor scores), noting guidelines apply to inmates with good institutional adjustment and are discretionary.
       - A comprehensive Offense Behavior Severity Index (Chapters 1–12) assigns categories to specific crimes (homicide, assault, theft, drugs, firearms, national defense, etc.) with detailed rules, exceptions, and examples for grading offenses (including monetary thresholds and drug-quantity bands).
       - Chapter Thirteen contains general notes, multiple-offense scoring guidance, definitions of key terms, and the Salient Factor Scoring Manual explaining how to compute parole prognosis points (prior convictions, commitments, age, recent commitment-free period, probation/parole status, and older-offender adjustment).
       - The document also references reparole guidelines and authority to revise guidelines; aggravated crimes and Category Eight cases receive special treatment.

# Box MCP server
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mcp/index



Model Context Protocol ([MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction)) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. MCP servers make building advanced integrations simpler and less time consuming.

The **Box MCP server** lets AI agents and apps use Box content through a single hosted endpoint. Your users authorize access with OAuth; agents call tools (search, Box AI, folders, and more) without you handling raw file payloads in the client.

<Frame>
  <img alt="MCP" />
</Frame>

## How it works at a glance

Follow this path when you are wiring or extending an integration:

1. **Box hosts MCP** at `https://mcp.box.com`. You connect your client or agent platform to this URL; you do not run Box’s MCP server yourself for the standard integration.
2. **An admin enables MCP** in the Box Admin Console and, for custom clients, creates **Integration Credentials** (OAuth client ID and client secret, redirect URI, and scopes such as **Content Actions**).
3. **Your application** passes the MCP endpoint, OAuth credentials, the MCP name `box-remote-mcp`, and an authorization token according to your platform’s MCP client requirements.

## Troubleshooting

In case of an `Error: spawn uv ENOENT` on MacOS when running the MCP server with Claude Desktop, you can:

* Remove `uv` and reinstall it with Homebrew: `brew install uv`.
* Provide the full path to the `uv` executable in your configuration:

```sh theme={null}
/Users/USER_NAME/.local/bin/uv --directory /Users/USER_NAME/local/mcp-server-box run src/mcp_server_box.py
```

In case of additional issues related to setup, post your question on our [Developer Community forum](https://community.box.com/ai-developers-23).


# Set up the MCP server
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/box-mcp/setup



Use these steps to enable Box’s hosted MCP endpoint (`https://mcp.box.com`) and connect your client or agent platform.

## Access and manage predefined Box MCP servers

1. Click **Integrations** in the sidebar of Box Admin Console.
2. Use *Categories* filter and choose MCP or search for a predefined Box MCP server in the search field search at the top of the window.
3. Beside the selected MCP server, click the state, then select the state you want to enable.

<Frame>
  <img alt="MCP" />
</Frame>

## Create an unlisted Box MCP server

1. Click **Integrations** in the sidebar of Box Admin Console.
2. Search for **Box MCP server** in the search field search at the top of the window.
3. Hover on the **Box MCP server** application, then click **Configure**.
4. In the **Additional Configuration** section, click on **+ Add Integration Credentials**.
5. Enter integration name and click **Save**.
6. Expand details of the newly created entry.
7. Copy the generated **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
8. Enter the **Redirect URI** provided by the external MCP client.
9. Select desired **Access Scopes**.
   * **Scopes** define the maximum set of actions. Users can only access content they already have permission to view or edit in Box.

## Add Box MCP server on the client side

Exact steps for adding Box MCP server may vary depending on the AI platform. Refer to your platform’s documentation for client-side setup instructions. Check this sample code for reference:

To connect to Box from the AI Agent platform, you need to:

* Add endpoint URL: `https://mcp.box.com`
* Pass client ID and client secret. Box generates these in the Integration Credentials section of your Admin Console when configuring the Box MCP server, above.
* Pass an MCP name: `box-remote-mcp`
* Provide an `authorization_token`

Sometimes, the client may request the authorization URL, token exchange URL, and scopes. For the Box MCP server, use the following values:

* Authorization URL: `https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize`
* Token Exchange URL: `https://api.box.com/oauth2/token`
* Scopes: `root_readwrite`, `ai.readwrite`, and `docgen.readwrite`. The `docgen.readwrite` scope requires an Enterprise Advanced license.

```python theme={null}
  response = await client.beta.messages.create(
      model="claude-3-opus-20240229",  # Or your preferred model
      max_tokens=4096,
      messages=conversation_history,
      mcp_servers=[
          {
              "type": "url",
              "url": "https://mcp.box.com",
              "name": "box-remote-mcp",
              "authorization_token": BEARER_TOKEN,
          }
      ],
      betas=["mcp-client-2025-04-04"]
  )
```

## Using Box AI features with the MCP server

When you use Box AI in third-party applications, you can achieve the best experience and highest quality results by accessing the applications through the Box MCP server. This ensures full functionality, improved performance, and a seamless user experience.

## Upload and download URL tools

The upload and download URL tools require the AI agent to make a direct network request to transfer the file. Declarative agents can't make these requests, so these tools work only in agentic (code-executing) environments.

Some clients require you to allowlist specific domains before upload and download URLs work.

If you're not a Box Zones customer, add the following domains to your allowlist:

```
upload.box.com
upload.app.box.com
upload.ent.box.com
dl.boxcloud.com
public.boxcloud.com
```

The domains you need vary depending on your Box Zone. For the full list, see [Configuring A Firewall For Box Applications and Services](https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/box-security/configuring-a-firewall-for-box-applications-and-services).

You can also use wildcard domains to allow all subdomains:

```
upload.*.box.com
*.boxcloud.com
*.box.com
```

## App item

An app item represents an content object owned by an application. It can group files and folders together from different paths. That set can be shared via a collaboration.

<Accordion title="Attributes and example">
  | Property           | Type           | Required | Description                                                         |
  | ------------------ | -------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | `id`               | `string`       | Yes      | The unique identifier for this app item.                            |
  | `type`             | `enum<string>` | Yes      | The value will always be `app_item`. Available options: `app_item`. |
  | `application_type` | `string`       | Yes      | The type of the app that owns this app item.                        |

</Accordion>

## App item association

An app item association represents an association between a file or folder and an app item. Associations between a folder and an app item cascade down to all descendants of the folder.

<Accordion title="Attributes and example">
  | Property   | Type                       | Required | Description                                                                                 |
  | ---------- | -------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  | `id`       | `string`                   | Yes      | The unique identifier for this app item association.                                        |
  | `type`     | `enum<string>`             | Yes      | The value will always be `app_item_association`. Available options: `app_item_association`. |
  | `app_item` | [App item](#app-item)      | Yes      | The app item which is associated with the file or folder.                                   |
  | `item`     | `App item associated item` | Yes      |                                                                                             |

# API Reference
Source: https://developer.box.com/reference/index



<Note>
  **Versioning.** This reference covers every Box API resource. Resources and
  endpoints added in a recent release are marked <Badge>New</Badge>.
  When an endpoint has multiple versions, the latest is the recommended default.
  Request an earlier one with the `box-version` header. See the
  [API versioning strategy](/guides/api-calls/api-versioning-strategy) for details.
</Note>

## Get started

In the vast majority of cases, API requests use the base URL `https://api.box.com/2.0` and require an OAuth 2.0 access token.

New to the platform? [Create a free developer account](https://account.box.com/signup/n/developer), then [generate a developer token](/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens) to start making calls in minutes.

### Try your first request

Replace `<ACCESS_TOKEN>` with a [developer token](/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens) and run:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users/me \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
```

A successful response returns the user profile or app service account who the token belongs to. This confirms your credentials and connection are working.

box-openapi.json POST /ai/ask
Sends an AI request to supported LLMs and returns an answer specifically focused on the user's question given the provided context.

You can ask a question about a single file, several files, or the entire contents of a Box Hub. To search across and ask questions about everything in a Box Hub, send a single item with `type` set to `hubs` and the Hub's ID as the `id`. Box AI answers the question using the indexed content of all files in that Hub.

Asking questions about a Box Hub requires Box AI for Hubs to be enabled in the Admin Console before the Hub is created, so that its content is indexed.

Collections are a way to group files, folders, and web links without putting them all into a folder.

## Collection

A collection of items, including files and folders. Currently, the only collection available is the `favorites` collection. The contents of a collection can be explored in a similar way to which the contents of a folder is explored.

A retention policy blocks permanent deletion of content for a specified amount of time. A file version retention is a record for a retained file.

## File version retention

A retention policy blocks permanent deletion of content for a specified amount of time. Admins can apply policies to specified folders, or an entire enterprise. A file version retention is a record for a retained file version. To use this feature, you must have the manage retention policies scope enabled for your API key in your application management console. **Note**: File retention API is now **deprecated**. To get information about files and file versions under retention, see [files under retention](/reference/get-retention-policy-assignments-id-files-under-retention) or [file versions under retention](/reference/get-retention-policy-assignments-id-file-versions-under-retention) endpoints.

# Files resources
Source: https://developer.box.com/reference/files-resources



Files, together with Folders, are at the core of the Box API. Files can be uploaded and downloaded, as well as hold important metadata information about the content.

## File

A standard representation of a file, as returned from any file API endpoints by default.

The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

## File (Base)

The bare basic representation of a file, the minimal amount of fields returned when using the `fields` query parameter.

<Accordion title="Attributes and example">
  | Property | Type           | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

  | `etag`   | `string`       | No       | The HTTP `etag` of this file. This can be used within some API endpoints in the `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` headers to only perform changes on the file if (no) changes have happened. Can be `null`.                                         |
  | `type`   | `enum<string>` | Yes      | The value will always be `file`. Available options: `file`.                                                                                                                                                                                      |

The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`.            |

  | `sequence_id`  | `string`              | No       | A numeric identifier that represents the most recent user event that has been applied to this item. This can be used in combination with the `GET /events`-endpoint to filter out user events that would have occurred before this identifier was read. An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

  | `id`          | `string`       | Yes      | The unique identifier that represent a folder. The ID for any folder can be determined by visiting a folder in the web application and copying the ID from the URL. For example, for the URL `https://*.app.box.com/folders/123` the `folder_id` is `123`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
  | `etag`        | `string`       | No       | The HTTP `etag` of this folder. This can be used within some API endpoints in the `If-Match` and `If-None-Match` headers to only perform changes on the folder if (no) changes have happened. Can be `null`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
  | `type`        | `enum<string>` | Yes      | The value will always be `folder`. Available options: `folder`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
  | `sequence_id` | `string`       | No       | A numeric identifier that represents the most recent user event that has been applied to this item. This can be used in combination with the `GET /events`-endpoint to filter out user events that would have occurred before this identifier was read. An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |
  | `name`        | `string`       | No       | The name of the folder.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |

# List file version legal holds
Source: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-file-version-legal-holds

box-openapi.json GET /file_version_legal_holds
Get a list of file versions on legal hold for a legal hold assignment.

Due to ongoing re-architecture efforts this API might not return all file versions for this policy ID.

Instead, this API will only return file versions held in the legacy architecture. Two new endpoints will available to request any file versions held in the new architecture.

For file versions held in the new architecture, the `GET /legal_hold_policy_assignments/:id/file_versions_on_hold` API can be used to return all past file versions available for this policy assignment, and the `GET /legal_hold_policy_assignments/:id/files_on_hold` API can be used to return any current (latest) versions of a file under legal hold.

The `GET /legal_hold_policy_assignments?policy_id={id}` API can be used to find a list of policy assignments for a given policy ID.

Once the re-architecture is completed this API will be deprecated.

This action can be `permanently_delete`, which will cause the content retained by the policy to be permanently deleted, or `remove_retention`, which will lift the retention policy from the content, allowing it to be deleted by users, once the retention policy has expired. Available options: `permanently_delete`, `remove_retention`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

A retention policy type can either be `finite`, where a specific amount of time to retain the content is known upfront, or `indefinite`, where the amount of time to retain the content is still unknown. Available options: `finite`, `indefinite`.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

For example, you can add or remove folders, shorten or lengthen the policy duration, or delete the assignment. Use this type if your retention policy is not related to any regulatory purposes. - `non-modifiable`: You can modify the retention policy only in a limited way: add a folder, lengthen the duration, retire the policy, change the disposition action or notification settings. You cannot perform other actions, such as deleting the assignment or shortening the policy duration. Use this type to ensure compliance with regulatory retention policies. Available options: `modifiable`, `non_modifiable`. |

The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

This can be used in combination with the `GET /events`-endpoint to filter out user events that would have occurred before this identifier was read. An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

This can be used in combination with the `GET /events`-endpoint to filter out user events that would have occurred before this identifier was read. An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

This can be used in combination with the `GET /events`-endpoint to filter out user events that would have occurred before this identifier was read. An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

An example would be where a Box Drive-like application would fetch an item via the API, and then listen to incoming user events for changes to the item. The application would ignore any user events where the `sequence_id` in the event is smaller than or equal to the `sequence_id` in the originally fetched resource. Can be `null`. |

# Box CLI with JWT Authentication
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/cli-with-jwt-authentication/jwt-cli



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Previously, our <Link href="/guides/cli">Box CLI Quick Start Guide</Link>, followed the JWT or server
authentication application setup flow. Since we released a new OAuth 2.0
version of the Box CLI, we updated it to use the new feature. We migrated
the original JWT setup instructions here, in case you would still like
to use the server authentication application type.

## Setup a JWT application

The first step to using the CLI with server authentication is creating a Box
application in the
[Developer Console][dc], which the CLI can use behind the scenes to make API
calls. If you would like to associate your CLI with an existing JWT application
you can skip this step. However, you will want to ensure that, at a minimum, the
following scopes are set in the **Configuration** tab of your application:

* Read all files and folders stored in Box
* Write all files and folders stored in Box

1. From the left-hand navigation panel on your All Files page, open the [Developer Console][dc]. If this is your first time using the Box API and this option is not already available, you can add it to your account by clicking [here][dc].

2. Click **Create Platform App** > **Platform App** > **Server Authentication (with JWT)** > name the application > **Create App**

<Warning>
  Server Authentication (with JWT) always requires Admin authorization before use.
</Warning>

## Configure the application

This brings you to the application's configuration page where you need to
choose its access and permissions. Again, keep in mind that because of the
application's authentication type, it requires Admin approval.

At a minimum, you need the following <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link>:

* Read all files and folders stored in Box
* Write all files and folders stored in Box

You can choose either App Access Only or App + Enterprise Access as the
<Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup/#application-access">application access</Link>.

## Authorize the application

All applications leveraging Server Authentication must be authorized in the
Admin Console before making successful API calls. This is because all JWT
applications have a <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link>, which, based on the applications
<Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link>, may be able to perform Admin actions.

Steps for developers and Admins can be found in our <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">authorization guide</Link>.

If you would like more information on how scopes, application access, tokens,
and permissions work together, please see our article on understanding
[Box's security mechanisms][blogpost].

<Warning>
  If configuration changes are made to this application, it will need to be
  reauthorized in order for the changes to take effect.
</Warning>

You will know when an application is ready for use by visiting its Authorization
tab in the [Developer Console][dc]. The state and status must be enabled and
authorized.

<Frame>
  <img alt="App Authorized" />
</Frame>

## Download Required Data

The CLI needs a configuration file stored locally in order to make API calls.

To download the configuration file, visit the **Configuration** tab in the
[Developer Console][dc]. Click **Generate a Public/Private Keypair**, which will
send you through 2FA verification before automatically downloading the
configuration file for your application. For more information see
our <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/jwt-setup/#public-and-private-key-pair">guide</Link>.

<Warning>
  For security reasons 2FA must be enabled on your Box account to successfully
  generate a public/private keypair.
</Warning>

Locate the downloaded file on your machine which has a default name in the
format: `EnterpriseID_publicKeyID_config.json`. You may leave this name or
choose to rename it. This guide assumes the file is renamed to `config.json`.

<Warning>
  It is critical you place the file in a location where it will not be
  inadvertently deleted or moved. If this occurs you will need to repeat the
  step 2 to reconfigure the CLI.
</Warning>

## CLI Installation and Configuration

The CLI can be installed as a Node package on any platform,
including Linux. For this to work you will need to have
[Node JS](https://nodejs.org/) installed on your machine.

```bash theme={null}
npm install --global @box/cli
```

## Source Code

The source code for the CLI is available via [GitHub][cli].

## Run configuration command

You will now need to configure the CLI to point to the configuration file
downloaded in step 1.

<Frame>
  <div>
    <img alt="CLI Configuration Diagram" />
  </div>
</Frame>

Open your terminal or command line and execute the
command: `box configure:environments:add PathToConfigFileHere`, replacing
`PathToConfigHere` with the path to your `config.json` file.

For example:
`box configure:environments:add /Users/ExampleUser/Documents/CLI/config.json`

<Tip>
  You can drag the csv file from the Finder/File Explorer to the
  terminal/command line window to auto-populate the path.
</Tip>

## Confirm configuration

To confirm successful configuration, use the command `box users:get`.

A successful response will provide details about the <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> user
associated with your <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens">Access Token</Link>:

```json theme={null}
Type: user
ID: ''0123456789''
Name: Box CLI - Quickstart Example
Login: AutomationUser_123456_8jSo6Lqvko@boxdevedition.com

```

<Tip>
  By default, JWT applications automatically obtain an Access Token for the
  Service Account. It is possible to change the default user, but this guide
  assumes you do not do this.

# Login for Headless Environments
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/headless-login



Authenticate the Box CLI on machines without a browser using manual code entry.

Use the `--code` flag to authenticate the Box CLI in
headless environments such as remote servers, containers,
or CI/CD pipelines where no browser is available.

## Prerequisites

* The Box CLI is <Link href="/guides/cli">installed</Link>.
* You have access to a browser on a separate machine (for
  example, your laptop) to complete the authorization step.

## How it works

The standard `box login` command opens a browser on the
same machine and starts a local callback server to
receive the authorization response automatically. In
headless environments, neither is possible.

The `--code` flag changes the login flow:

* The CLI prints an authorization URL instead of opening a
  browser.
* No local callback server is started.
* After you authorize in a browser on another machine,
  you manually copy the resulting code and state back into
  the CLI.

## Authenticate

### Step 1: Start login with the `--code` flag

On the headless machine, run:

```bash theme={null}
box login --code
```

The CLI prints an authorization URL and waits for input.

<Tip>
  You can combine `--code` with any other `box login`
  options. For example, to authenticate with a custom Box
  platform app, provide your Client ID and Client Secret
  when prompted.
</Tip>

### Step 2: Authorize in a browser on another machine

Copy the authorization URL that the CLI printed, then
open it in a browser on a machine that has one. Sign in
to Box and select **Grant Access to Box**.

### Step 3: Copy the code and state from the redirect URL

After you grant access, the browser redirects to a
`localhost` callback URL. Because no callback server is
running on the headless machine, the page does not load
and the browser displays a connection error.
This is expected.

Look at the URL in the browser's address bar. It
contains the values you need:

```
http://localhost:3000/callback?state=AUTHORIZATION_STATE&code=CODE_VALUE
```

Copy the values of `code` and `state` from this URL.

### Step 4: Enter the codes in the CLI

Return to the terminal on the headless machine and paste
the `code` and `state` values when the CLI prompts for
them.

After the CLI confirms successful authentication, you
are ready to run commands.

### Step 5: Verify the setup

```bash theme={null}
box users:get me
```

If authentication was successful, the CLI returns
information about your Box user account.

## Using `--code` on a machine with a browser

The `--code` flag is intended for headless environments.
If you use it on a machine that has a browser:

* The CLI still prints the authorization URL.
* After you authorize, the browser redirects to the
  callback URL. Because `--code` skips starting the local
  callback server, the redirect page does not load and the
  browser shows a connection error.
* The CLI continues to wait for you to manually enter the
  `code` and `state` values, just as it would in a
  headless environment.

If a browser is available on the same machine, use
`box login` without `--code` for a smoother experience.


# CLI
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/index



The Box CLI brings Box to your terminal. It works with agentic tools and harnesses, letting you manage content, automate tasks, and integrate Box into scripts, tools, and AI agents.

Scopes are limited to files and folders, AI, and Sign when [logging in as a Box user](#log-in-as-box-user). If you need additional scopes, [use a platform app](#use-a-platform-app) instead.

<SignupCTA>
  Install the Box CLI and connect to your account in minutes. A free developer account is all you need to get started.
</SignupCTA>

## Quickstart

The CLI runs on any platform, including Linux, Windows, and macOS. You need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 22 or later installed.

The commands below use `box`. If you installed via `npm install box`, prefix them with `npx ` (for example, `npx box login`).

### Step 1: Install the CLI

The recommended path is to install the [`box`](/guides/tooling/box-npm-package) npm package, which bundles the CLI alongside the Box Node SDK:

```bash theme={null}
npm install box
```

After installation, run any CLI command with `npx box`:

```bash theme={null}
npx box --help
```

<Tip>
  **Alternative: global install.** If you prefer the `box` command directly on your `PATH`, install the standalone CLI package instead:

  ```bash theme={null}
  npm install --global @box/cli
  ```
</Tip>

### Step 2: Authenticate the CLI

In your terminal, run:

```bash theme={null}
box login
```

<a />

##### 1. Log in as a Box user (OAuth)

The fastest way to get started. Uses a preconfigured Box application that only supports file and folder operations, AI, and Sign.

Select the **Grant Access to Box** button which appears in the browser.

After authentication completes successfully, you are ready to run commands.

<a />

##### 2. Use a platform app

This option requires additional setup but allows you to configure scopes and permissions.

1. Go to your [Developer Console][devconsole] and select or create an application.
2. In the application’s **Configuration** section:
   * Make sure it uses **Standard OAuth 2.0**.
   * Set the **Redirect URI** to `http://localhost:3000/callback`.
   * Select your desired <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link>.
   * Copy your **Client ID** and **Client Secret**.
3. At the top of the page, click **Save Changes**.
4. Return to the terminal window and enter the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** when prompted.
5. Select the **Grant Access to Box** button which appears in the browser.

After authentication completes successfully, you are ready to run commands.

<Info>
  Use `box login --platform-app` to skip the prompt for the Client ID and Client Secret.
</Info>

##### 3. Headless environment (no browser)

If you are on a remote server or any machine without a browser, use the `--code` flag for manual code entry. See <Link href="/guides/cli/headless-login">Headless Login</Link> for step-by-step instructions.

```bash theme={null}
box login --code
```

### Step 3: Run your first command

To confirm the configuration was successful, enter:

```bash theme={null}
box users:get me
```

If authentication was successful, the CLI returns information about your Box user account.

```json theme={null}
Type: user
ID: '0123456789'

<Tip>
  The CLI supports <Link href="/guides/hubs-api">Box Hubs</Link> commands. Manage hubs and hub items directly from your terminal. Run `box hubs --help` to see all available operations.
</Tip>

## Getting help

Every CLI command begins with `box`. Add `--help` to any
command for assistance. Run `box --help` to display all available top-level commands.

A full list of commands and usage information is available in the
[GitHub repository][github].

Supported callback ports are: `3000`, `3001`, `4000`, `5000`, and `8080`. Change with `--port`.

# Building Commands and Help Feature
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/quick-start/build-commands-help



A full list of CLI commands and usage information can be found in the
[GitHub repository][github].

<Warning>
  Only Service Accounts and Admins are able to use some commands.
  If your user is not authorized with the necessary scopes or you
  configured your CLI to obtain a default token for another user, calls may
  fail. Add `-v` or `--verbose` to your command for verbose error logging.
</Warning>

If you do not see a command for an endpoint you need, you can build a
[custom request][custom].

<Tip>
  Use repository documentation in conjunction with reference documentation to
  see information the help command does not provide. This includes
  restrictions, token permission requirements, fields, etc.
</Tip>

## Using help to create a folder

Every CLI command begins with `box`. Append the `--help` flag to any CLI command to display usage information, available actions, and required arguments.

For example, executing `box --help` shows you
to a list of all possible resource commands, such as `folders`, `files`, and `users`. More information is available in
<Link href="/guides/cli/quick-start/using-options">Using Options</Link>.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Help" />
</Frame>

Then, for example, use the folder object and execute the command
`box folders --help`. This provides a list of all eligible actions for this
object.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Help" />
</Frame>

Discover the required arguments for creating a folder: `box folders:create --help`

<Frame>
  <img alt="Help" />
</Frame>

Execute the command `box folders:create 0 "My CLI Folder"` and note the folder
ID returned in the response.

<Tip>
  The root level of the folder tree, the All Files page, is always represented
  by folder ID 0.
</Tip>

Log into **your** Box account and verify that the folder appears.

<Warning>
  If you set up the Box CLI using JWT authentication, you will not see the
  folder in your Box account. The folder will live in the service account
  of the application that was created after application approval.
</Warning>

# Using Bulk Commands
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/quick-start/using-bulk-commands



## Bulk Commands

You can use a CSV file to execute commands in bulk. Each row of the
spreadsheet is treated as an individual API call.

To execute a bulk command, use the option `--bulk-file-path=<PATH_TO_CSV>`, where
`<PATH_TO_CSV>` is the local path of a CSV file containing the
necessary information.

For example, you can create folders using the command `box folders:create --bulk-file-path=path/to/file.csv`

<Tip>
  Drag the CSV file from your finder window/file explorer to the
  terminal/command line window to auto-populate the path.
</Tip>

To specify the column names for your CSV file, go to the [GitHub repository][github] and look at the argument names, or use the `--help` option. In this
case, these are `PARENTID` and `NAME` and are case insensitive.
You can also use a CSV
[template][csv] for this example bulk create folders command.

Executing the command below creates three folders at the root level, 0, of the
Service Account's folder tree.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:create --bulk-file-path=/Users/ExampleUser/Desktop/bulkcreatefolders.csv
```

## Set up and use bulk commands

1. Clone the `boxcli` GitHub repository or download the files from [`Bulk actions`][bulkactions] directory.

   ```bash theme={null}
   git clone https://github.com/box/boxcli.git
   ```

2. Adjust the `.csv` template to your needs. For example, if you want to create several folders, you can use the [`folders-create.csv`][folderstemplate] template as your starting point.

3. Run the command.

   ```bash theme={null}
   box folders:create --bulk-file-path <PATH_TO_CSV>/folders-create.csv
   ```

[console]: https://app.box.com/developers/console

[bulkactions]: https://github.com/box/boxcli/tree/main/docs/Bulk%20actions

[folderstemplate]: https://github.com/box/boxcli/blob/main/docs/Bulk%20actions/folders/folders-create.csv

## Bulk Commands with Options

Any option included in the command is applied to every row in the CSV file. For example,
`box folders:collaborations:create --bulk-file-path=path/to/file.csv --role=editor`
will create collaborations for each user in the csv as an editor.

However, you can also use options in the CSV file. Building on the last example,
instead of using the `--role=editor` option in the command itself, it can be a
column called `role`. The command becomes:
`box folders:collaborations:create --bulk-file-path=pathtocsv`

## CSV templates

Predefined CSV templates help you to structure the data you want to manage in bulk. Templates reside in the [`Bulk actions`][bulkactions] directory, grouped into folders. The table below lists the currently available templates.

| Templates              | Description                                                         |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| box collaborations     | Create, delete, and update collaborations.                          |
| box files              | Download, update, and upload files.                                 |
| box folders            | Create and update folders, add metadata to folders.                 |
| box groups             | Create groups and add memberships.                                  |
| box metadata-templates | Create metadata templates and metadata cascade policies on folders. |
| box shared-links       | Delete shared links.                                                |
| box users              | Create and update users, move one user's content to another user.   |
| box webhooks           | Delete webhooks.                                                    |

# Using Options
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/quick-start/using-options



## Options

Options, also known as flags, provide additional, optional functionality to use with a CLI command.

To see all valid options for a command, run it with `--help` or visit the [GitHub repository][github].

## Getting help

Add `--help` to any command to see its usage, arguments, and available flags.

```bash theme={null}
box folders --help
```

## Controlling output format

### JSON output

Use `--json` to return the full API response as structured JSON. This is useful for scripting or when you need to inspect the complete response.

```bash theme={null}
box files:get 123456 --json
```

### CSV output

Use `--csv` to return results as a CSV. This pairs well with `--save` to produce reports you can open in a spreadsheet.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --csv --save
```

### Filtering fields

Use `--fields` to specify only the fields you need in the response. This reduces output noise and can speed up calls that would otherwise return a large number of fields.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --fields id,name,login
```

## Saving output

### Save to the default reports folder

Use `--save` to write output to the default reports directory.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --csv --save
```

### Save to a custom path

Use `--save-to-file-path` to override the default location and write output to a specific location.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --json --save-to-file-path ./exports/users.json
```

## Scripting and automation

### Skip confirmation prompts

Use `--yes` to automatically answer yes to any confirmation prompt. This is useful when running the CLI in scripts or automated pipelines.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:delete 123456 --yes
```

### Disable color

Use `--no-color` to strip ANSI color codes from output. This is recommended when capturing output in log files or CI environments where color codes can corrupt output.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --no-color
```

## Debugging

Use `--verbose` to print detailed output including request and response metadata. Add this flag when troubleshooting unexpected errors.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --verbose
```

## Using a specific token

Use `--token` to authenticate a single command with a specific access token, overriding the configured default environment. This is useful when testing tokens or running one-off calls without switching environments.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:items 0 --token YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
```

## As-User header

Use the <Link href="/guides/authentication/jwt/as-user">`--as-user`</Link> option to perform an action on behalf of another user.

For example, the following command creates a folder called `Example_Folder`
at the root level in user ID 123456's account.

```bash theme={null}
box folders:create 0 Example_Folder --as-user=123456
```

<Warning>
  Only Service Accounts and Admins are able to use the as-user header.
  If your application was not authorized with the necessary scopes or you
  configured your CLI to obtain a default token for another user, this call may
  fail. Add `-v` or `--verbose` to your command for verbose error logging.
</Warning>

# Deprovision users and archive folders
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/deprovision-users



This script allows you to deprovision and delete a list of users.
It performs the following steps:

1. Transfers the user content to the another user's root folder, specified in the `EmployeeArchiveFolderName` parameter.
2. Deletes the user.

## Prerequisites

### Windows

Install the latest version of [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).

### macOS & Linux

Install [PowerShell][pwsh]. Run the `pwsh` command to test the installation.

```bash theme={null}
pwsh
```

Depending on the directory you are
running the command in, the output may differ.
For example:

```bash theme={null}
PowerShell 7.2.5
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /Users/user/repos/boxcli/examples>
```

<message>
  If you encounter issues make sure you installed both
  [dotnet core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) and
  [PowerShell][pwsh].
</message>

### Box CLI

To use the script, you need the Box CLI
installed and configured. You can do this by following
our <Link href="/guides/cli">quick start guide</Link>. The user you use to login with should
be the main Box admin or co-admin.

## Configure the script

1. Clone the `boxcli` GitHub repository and cd into this example's folder or download the files from [`examples`][examples] directory.

   ```bash theme={null}
   git clone https://github.com/box/boxcli.git boxcli
   cd boxcli/examples/User\ Deprovisioning/
   ```

2. Create the list of employees for deletion in `.csv`.

   The header row should look like as follows:

   ```bash theme={null}
   name, email
   ```

   where:

   * `name` is the name of the user in Box.
   * `email` is the primary email address of the user in Box.

   For example:

   | `name`         | `email`                 |
   | -------------- | ----------------------- |
   | Managed User 1 | `ManagedUser1@test.com` |
   | Managed User 2 | `ManagedUser2@test.com` |
   | Managed User 3 | `ManagedUser3@test.com` |

### List of parameters

| `Parameter`                 | `Description`                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         | `Required` | `Default Value`                                                                                                      |
| --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `EmployeeList`              | Path to Employee List CSV with employees to be deleted.                                                                                                                                                                                               | Yes        | -                                                                                                                    |
| `SkipTransferContent`       | Set this flag to skip transfer of user content before deletion when running the script. Otherwise user's content will be transferred.                                                                                                                 | No         | `False`                                                                                                              |
| `NewFilesOwnerID`           | The ID of the user to transfer files to before deleting the user. If not specified, the script will prompt to input in the interactive mode, or use the current authenticated user ID to receive the content.                                         | No         | If not specified, the script will prompt to input in the interactive mode, or use the current authenticated user ID. |
| `EmployeeArchiveFolderName` | The name of a folder, where users' content will be moved to if `SkipTransferContent` is set to `False`. If a folder with this name already exists in the user's `NewFilesOwnerID` root folder, it will be used. Otherwise, a new one will be created. | Yes        | `Employee Archive`                                                                                                   |
| `DryRun`                    | A flag that determines the script should be run in a mode, where no delete/create/update calls will be made, only read ones.                                                                                                                          | No         | `False`                                                                                                              |

### Define script parameters

You can the following options to pass parameters.

* Use hardcoded value in script.

  To use this option, update all required parameters listed in the [script parameters section][parameters] before running.

* Run script with parameters.

  You can specify parameters while providing the command. For example:

  ```bash theme={null}
  PS > ./Users_Deprovision.ps1 -EmployeeList ./Employees_to_delete.csv `
  -NewFilesOwnerID  123456789
  -EmployeeArchiveFolderName "Employee Archive"
  ```

  or

  ```bash theme={null}
  PS > ./Users_Deprovision.ps1 -EmployeeList ./Employees_to_delete.csv `
  -SkipTransferContent
  ```

  If you don't specify parameters, the script will prompt you to enter it.

  ```bash theme={null}
  PS > ./Users_Deprovision.ps1
  Please enter the path to the employee list CSV file:
  ./Employees_to_delete.csv
  Please specify the user ID of the user who will own the files of the users being deprovisioned.
  Press Enter if you want to use the current user as the new owner.
  User ID: 1234567689
  Starting User Deprovisioning script...
  ```

## Run the script

Now all you need to do is run the script.

1. Run the Powershell command.

   ```bash theme={null}
   pwsh
   ```

2. Run the script:

   ```bash theme={null}
   ./Users_Deprovision.ps1
   ```

   When all parameters are defined, you will see following output to confirm the script started:

   ```bash theme={null}

# CLI sample scripts
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/index



Box CLI scripts are designed to help you
automate your tasks. Currently,
the sample scripts library
provides several PowerShell scripts you can use
and customize. In order to run them, you need to install and configure the Box CLI. You can follow the <Link href="/guides/cli">quick start guide</Link> to
get that done.

<Warning>
  Most of the below scripts require the user you run commands with to
  have Box [administrative privileges][7].
</Warning>

# Manage groups and collaborations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/manage-groups-collaborations



## Script structure

This script uses the Box CLI to create or update groups, add users to them, and create collaborations between groups and folders.
The script consists of two parts described in detail in the sections below. You can run them both or use the optional flags to decide which part to run.

### Create or update groups

1. The script uses the `.csv` file you specify for the `UserGroupAdditionPath` parameter. The file lists group names and user emails. When creating the file, you can use the same group name for several users, and assign one user to several groups. For example:

   | `GroupName` | `UserEmail`             |
   | ----------- | ----------------------- |
   | Group1      | `ManagedUser1@test.com` |
   | Group1      | `ManagedUser2@test.com` |
   | Group2      | `ManagedUser3@test.com` |
   | Group3      | `ManagedUser1@test.com` |

2. If the group doesn't exist, the script creates it. If it does exist, the script can update the entries based on the provided data.

### Create or update collaborations

1. The script uses the `.csv` file you specify for the `CollaborationsCreationPath` parameter. The file lists group names, folder IDs, and collaboration roles.

2. For each row, the script checks if a group exists and if it's not already added as a collaborator to the corresponding folder. For example:

   | `GroupName` | `FolderId` | `CollaborationRole` |
   | ----------- | ---------- | ------------------- |
   | Group1      | 1111111    | editor              |
   | Group2      | 1111111    | viewer\_uploader    |
   | Group2      | 2222222    | viewer              |
   | Group3      | 1111111    | viewer\_uploader    |

3. If both of these conditions are met, the script assigns the group to a folder using the role defined in the `CollaborationRole` column. Also, if a group already exists, but the `CollaborationRole` changed, the script will update it if you pass the `-UpdateExistingCollabs` flag when running the script.

## Prerequisites

### Windows

Install the latest version of [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).

### MacOS & Linux

Install [PowerShell][pwsh]. Run the `pwsh` command to test the installation.

```bash theme={null}
pwsh
```

Depending on the directory you are
running the command in, the output may differ.
For example:

```bash theme={null}
PowerShell 7.2.5
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /Users/user/repos/boxcli/examples>
```

<message>
  If you encounter issues make sure you installed both
  [dotnet core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) and
  [PowerShell][pwsh].
</message>

### Box CLI

To use the script, you need to install and configure the Box CLI. You can do this by following
our <Link href="/guides/cli">quick start guide</Link>. The user you use to login with should
be the main Box admin or co-admin.

## Configure the script

1. Clone the `boxcli` GitHub repository and cd into this example's folder or download the files from the [`examples`][examples] directory.

   ```bash theme={null}
   git clone https://github.com/box/boxcli.git boxcli
   cd boxcli/examples/Mass\ Groups\ \&\ Collaborations\ Update/
   ```

2. Set the path to the `.csv` file with the list of groups and user emails.

   ```bash theme={null}
   $UserGroupAdditionPath = "./User_Group_Addition.csv"
   ```

   * `UserEmail` is the primary email address for the user in Box.
   * `GroupName` is the name of the group.

3. Set your own path to the `.csv` file with the list groups and user emails.

   ```bash theme={null}
   $CollaborationsCreationPath = "./Collaborations_Creation.csv"
   ```

   * `GroupName` is name of the group the script will add as a collaborator to the folder.
   * `FolderId` is the folder ID the collaborator will be added to.
   * `CollaborationRole` is the name of the role used when creating a collaboration.

   You can configure the available roles by setting the `AvailableCollaborationRoles` parameter:

   ```bash theme={null}
   $AvailableCollaborationRoles = @("editor", "viewer", "previewer", "uploader", "previewer_uploader", "viewer_uploader", "co-owner")
   ```

## Run the script

1. Run the Powershell command.

   ```bash theme={null}
   pwsh
   ```

2. Run the script.

   ```bash theme={null}
   ./Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update.ps1
   ```

### Optional flags

You can use flags to run or skip specific parts of the script.

* If a group is already set as a collaborator for a specific folder but with a role other than defined in the .`csv` file, the script informs you about it. It does not make any changes to an existing collaboration. If you want to update an existing collaboration with a role defined in the `.csv` file, set an additional `-UpdateExistingCollabs` flag when running the script.

  ```bash theme={null}
  Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update.ps1 -UpdateExistingCollabs
  ```

* To update groups without creating collaborations, add the `-SkipCollabsCreation` boolean flag when running the script:

  ```bash theme={null}
  Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update.ps1 -SkipCollabsCreation
  ```

* To create collaborations without any group updates, add the `-SkipGroupsUpdate` boolean flag when running the script:

  ```bash theme={null}
  Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update.ps1 -SkipGroupsUpdate
  ```

## Logs

Logs are stored in the `logs` folder located in the main folder.
You have access to these log files:

* `Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update_all.txt` that contains all log entries.
* `Mass_Groups_Collabs_Update_errors.txt` that contains only errors.

# Extract metadata
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/metadata-extraction



This script extracts metadata details for all the
files and folders in any Box folder and
saves the result in a CSV spreadsheet for
each metadata template.

## Prerequisites

### Windows

Install the latest version of [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).

### macOS & Linux

Install [PowerShell][pwsh]. Run the `pwsh` command to test the installation.

```bash theme={null}
pwsh
```

Depending on the directory you are
running the command in, the output may differ.
For example:

```bash theme={null}
PowerShell 7.2.5
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /Users/user/repos/boxcli/examples>
```

<Info>
  If you encounter issues make sure you installed both
  [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) and
  [PowerShell][pwsh].
</Info>

### Box CLI

To use the script, you need the Box CLI
installed and configured. You can do this by following
our <Link href="/guides/cli">quick start guide</Link>.

## Configure the script

1. Clone the `boxcli` GitHub repository and cd into this example's folder or download the files from the [`examples`][examples] directory.

   ```bash theme={null}

# Using PowerShell Scripts with the Box CLI
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/powershell-script-templates



You can automate repetitive administrative workflows by combining the Box CLI with PowerShell scripts. We created an example
[scripts][scripts] folder within our CLI GitHub repository to help
jump-start your development.

To show you how CLI scripts work, we are going to use the
provision and create users [script][script-1]
template.

This script uses the Box CLI to build and create a
personal folder structure, create managed users in bulk,
and provision new users by adding them to the newly created
folder structure as collaborators with viewer or uploader roles.

<Warning>
  This guide is for service accounts
  and users with administrative privileges only.
  Skip this step if you are not a Box administrator
  or you do not use a service account.
</Warning>

## Use case

To automatically create users and folder structure, the script
performs the following steps:

1. Uses a `.csv` file to load employee data in bulk.
2. Defines folder structure using a JSON file or uploads the structure from the user's local directory.
3. Creates a predetermined personal folder structure for each new managed user.

## Prerequisites

### Windows

Install the latest version of [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).

### macOS & Linux

Install [PowerShell][pwsh].

### Box CLI

To use the script, you need the Box CLI
installed and configured. If you haven't done so yet, see our <Link href="/guides/cli">quick start guide</Link>.

### Create a personal folder parent folder

This script works by creating a folder structure for each user that is
created. To do this, create a parent
folder for all of the personal folders to live in. By default all folders are created in the root folder of the account used by the CLI. You can name
and place the folder wherever you wish, but the user you set up the CLI with
must have access to the folder.

Here is an example of what the structure looks like after
running the script.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Finished Folder Structure" />
</Frame>

## Download the script

Clone the script to a directory of your choice
and navigate to that directory.

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/box/boxcli.git box-cli
cd box-cli/examples/User\ Creation\ \&\ Provisioning/
```

## Configure the script settings

Adapt the script to run in your own environment.
In this example, we use the sample data provided
with the script.

### Provide the parameters

There are a few parameters you need to supply before running the script:

* `EmployeeList`: Path to `Employee List` CSV.
* `PersonalFolderParentID`: Destination folder ID for all personal folders to be created in, either when using JSON file as input to create folder structure, or uploading local structure. This folder should be made prior to running the script the first time. It is not advised to make this value `0`, as this creates individual personal folders in the root of the account you set up the CLI with.
* `FolderStructureJSONPath`: Your own folder structure JSON path.
* `PersonalFolderSlug`: Ending name of the folder created as a parent for personal folders. It's set to `Personal Folder` by default, but you can set it to your needs. The username is linked with this value to create each user's personal folder name. For example - `rsmith2's Personal Folder`.
* `LocalUploadPath`: Local directory to upload folder structure directly.

<Info>
  Specify **either** a local upload path or a JSON file with the folder
  structure, but not both.
</Info>

### Update the user list

You can use the following sample files to load users:
`Employees_1.csv`, `Employees_5.csv`, and `Employees_10.csv`.
Each file creates 1, 5, or 10 new users.

Customize these files for a test run. For example, update the
`Employees_1.csv` with the following data:

```bash theme={null}
firstName,lastName,email,username
Isaac,Newton,abc@abc.local,INewton23
```

With the `EmployeeList` parameter, specify which `.csv` file you would like
to load data from.

<Warning>
  Emails must be unique across all of Box, and usernames must be unique across
  your specific Box instance. Otherwise, an error will be thrown when running
  the script.
</Warning>

### Create folder structure

You can either create a folder structure from a JSON
file or upload it from your local drive.

#### Use a JSON file

The `Folder_Structure.json` file contains the folder structure you want to create.
As an example, you will create a `Market Research` and a `Sales Plays`
folder, each with a subfolder `Statistics` and `Big Pharma` respectively.
The script will place this folder structure
under the `Personal Folder` folder for that user inside the parent folder
you designate.

With the `FolderStructureJSONPath` parameter, provide the location of the
`Folder_Structure.json` file.

#### Upload file from local drive

You can also upload a folder structure directly
from the local file system. With the `LocalUploadPath` parameter, provide the
path to your local folder you want to upload. The uploaded folder structure is created in Box using the same naming structure as the JSON method.

### Update the parameters

You can provide parameters in three ways:

* Use static values in the script

  <Info>
    Remember to update all required parameters in the script before running.
  </Info>

  ```bash theme={null}
  # Set Employee List CSV Path
  # firstname, lastname, email, username
  $EmployeeList = ""

  # Personal Folder Structure: Set either path build off JSON or directly upload
  # a local folder
  $FolderStructureJSONPath = ""
  $LocalUploadPath = ""

  # Ending slug of folder that will be used in creating personal folders for new
  # users. Value will get concatenated with username
  # If username is RSMITH, the personal folder name would be
  # RSMITH's Personal Folder
  $PersonalFolderSlug = ""

  # ID of parent folder for created personal folders to be created in
  # This folder should be created before running the script the first time.
  # It is not advised to make this value 0, as this will create individual
  # Personal folders in root of the account you set up the cli with
  $PersonalFolderParentID = ""
  ```

* Run the script with parameters

  You can specify parameters while running the script, for example:

  ```bash theme={null}
  PS > ./Users_Create_Provision.ps1 -EmployeeList ./Employees_1.csv `
      -LocalUploadPath ./PersonalLocalUpload `
      -PersonalFolderSlug "Personal Folder" `
      -PersonalFolderParentID 123456789

  Starting User Creation & Provisioning script...
  ```

* Provide the parameters when prompted

  If some parameters are still missing at runtime, the script will prompt you to provide them:

  ```bash theme={null}
  PS > ./Users_Create_Provision.ps1
  Please enter the path to the employee list CSV file:
  ./Employees_1.csv
  Please enter the path to the folder structure JSON file or the local upload path:
  Folder_Structure.json
  Folder structure JSON path set to: Folder_Structure.json
  Please enter the ID of the folder where you would like to create the personal folders:
  0
  Starting User Creation & Provisioning script...
  ```

## Run the script

1. Change the directory to the folder containing the script. In this example, it is the `User Creation & Provisioning` folder.

   ```bash theme={null}
   pwsh
   ```

2. Run the script:

   ```bash theme={null}
   PS /home/rvb/box-cli/examples/User Creation & Provisioning> ./Users_Create_Provision.ps1
   ```

   The response will be similar to the following:

   ```bash theme={null}
   Starting User Creation & Provisioning script...

## Running the script again for new users

It is common to run this script regularly as your company hires new employees.
You can simply edit the `.csv` file, removing the previous rows of users and
adding the information for the new users. Then run the script again.

## Summary

You explored automation using a PowerShell script with the
Box CLI to provision users
and create an initial folder structure.

# Report inactive users
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/report-inactive-users



This script generates a CSV file with a list of users who have been inactive for a number of days. It performs the following steps:

1. Looks for the users who have the role `user`.

   <Info>
     The script does not consider other roles, such as `AppUser`.
   </Info>

2. Uses <Link href="/reference/resources/event">Box Events</Link> to check if the user performed any actions for a specified number of days. The default list of event types includes: `LOGIN`,`UPLOAD`,`COPY`,`MOVE`,`PREVIEW`,`DOWNLOAD`,`EDIT`,`DELETE`,`UNDELETE`,`LOCK`,`UNLOCK`, `NEW_USER`. You can modify this list in the script settings.

3. Adds users who didn't perform any actions to a `.csv` file with inactive users. You can use this file as input for other scripts, for example to <Link href="/guides/cli/scripts/deprovision-users">deprovision users</Link>.

Change the directory to the folder containing the script. In this example, it is the `Integration Mappings` folder.

```pwsh theme={null}
rvb@lab:~/box-cli/examples/Integration Mappings$ pwsh
PowerShell 7.2.4
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /home/rvb/box-cli/examples/Integration Mappings>
```

Run the script with EXTRACT to extract current mappings:

```pwsh theme={null}
./integration-mappings.ps1 -Action EXTRACT
```

or

Run the script with UPDATE to update current mappings:

```pwsh theme={null}
./integration-mappings.ps1 -Action UPDATE
```

or

Run the script with CREATE to create new mappings:

```pwsh theme={null}
./integration-mappings.ps1 -Action CREATE -MappingPath ./mapping_create_example.csv
```

By default, the csv file will save to and load from ./mappings.csv. If you wish to change this location, you can pass in a new path like so:

```pwsh theme={null}
./integration-mappings.ps1 -Action EXTRACT -MappingPath ./mappings_new_location.csv
```

If you don't specify parameters, the script prompts you to enter them.

When creating a mapping on a new channel, you must input a Box folder ID, Slack channel ID, and Slack org ID. You can use a Slack workspace ID in place of the org ID. In that case, you need to replace the csv column header `SlackOrgId` with `SlackWorkspaceId`.

```pwsh theme={null}
Starting Process
Applying new mappings
Output [...]
All bulk input entries processed successfully.
```

## Logs

Logs are stored in a `logs` folder located in the main folder. You have access to these log files:

* `Integration-mappings_all.txt` that contains all log entries.
* `Integration-mappings_errors.txt` that contains only errors.

# Update user zones
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/scripts/user-zones-mass-update



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

This [script][script] provisions users to a specific
data residency zone within a Multizone Box tenant.
It performs the following steps:

1. It uses admin or co-admin login email address to find the associated enterprise and the zone policy assigned to this enterprise. An assigned zone policy is inherited by all users unless specified otherwise. It is sometimes called the **default zone**.
2. It performs zone assignment based on an input `.csv` file containing user email addresses and zone mappings.

<message>
  Usually, you use the script once to do the initial provisioning of user zones, but you can also use it for subsequent runs to make zone assignment updates.
</message>

If you would like to use Admin Console for zone assignment, see [this guide][zonesguide].
For more information about Box Zones, see the [official website][zonespage].

## Prerequisites

### Windows

Install the latest version of [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download).

### MacOS & Linux

Install [PowerShell][pwsh]. Run the `pwsh` command to test the installation.

```bash theme={null}
pwsh
```

Depending on the directory you are
running the command in, the output may differ.
For example:

```bash theme={null}
PowerShell 7.2.5
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

https://aka.ms/powershell
Type 'help' to get help.

PS /Users/user/repos/boxcli/examples>
```

<message>
  If you encounter issues make sure you installed both
  [.NET core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) and
  [PowerShell][pwsh].
</message>

### Set up application with JWT authentication

To use the script, you need to install and configure the <Link href="/guides/cli/cli-with-jwt-authentication/jwt-cli">Box CLI with JWT authentication</Link>.

When creating the app, use the **Configuration** tab
to configure the following settings:

* In **App Access Level**, select `App + Enterprise Access`.
* In **Application Scopes** > **Administrative Actions**, select `Manage Enterprise Properties`, `Manage Users`.
* In **Advanced Features**, select `Generate user access tokens`.

### Adjust admin settings

Make sure the Box Admin or Co-Admin has at least `Manage Users` privileges.
To check this setting:

1. Go to the **Users & Groups** section in the Admin Console.
2. Click the user account you want to verify.
3. Go to the **Edit User Access permissions** section to grant administrative privileges for users and groups.

## Prepare the `.csv` file

The `.csv` file must have two columns with the following headers: **Email** and **Region**.

* **Email** contains the primary email address of a Box user.
* **Region**  contains the user-friendly name for the zone to which the script will assign the user. This name is provided by the [ZonesTable][zonestable] that is a hash table used to define zones. The keys are the zone's user-friendly names, and the corresponding value is the global ID of the zone.

  ```bash theme={null}
  $ZonesTable = @{
      US = "100001"             #US
      GermanyIreland = "100002" #Germany/Ireland with in region uploads/downloads/previews
      Australia = "100003"      #Australia
      Japan = "100004"          #Japan with in region uploads/downloads/previews
      Canada = "100005"         #Canada
      JapanSingapore = "100007" #Japan/Singapore with in region uploads/downloads/previews
      UKGermany = "100008"      #UK/Germany
      UK = "100009"             #UK with in region uploads/downloads/previews
      France = "100012"         #France
  }
  ```

<message>
  Consult the Box Consulting or Customer Success manager to get the IDs corresponding to the zones enabled in a specific enterprise.
</message>

A sample input `.csv` file containing emails and zone names is provided with this script. Its content looks as follows:

| Email               | Region         |
| ------------------- | -------------- |
| `betty@company.com` | US             |
| `roger@company.com` | France         |
| `sally@company.com` | JapanSingapore |

## Configure the script

Set the `UserZonesUpdatePath` to point to your `.csv` file.

```bash theme={null}
$UserZonesUpdatePath = "./your_file_name.csv"
```

Update the `adminEmail` to the admin or `co-admin` login email address of the account the script will use to make zone assignments.
If you don't specify this value, the script will prompt you for it.

```bash theme={null}
$adminEmail = "john@box.com"
```

## Run the script

Run the Powershell command.

```bash theme={null}
pwsh
```

Run the script.

```bash theme={null}
./Mass_Update_User_Zones.ps1
```

### Optional flags

To run the script in simulation mode,
add the `DryRun` boolean flag.
Dry run doesn't mean that API calls won't be made, but that any create/update/delete calls are skipped.

```bash theme={null}
./Mass_Update_User_Zones.ps1 -DryRun
```

## Logging

Logs are stored in a `logs` folder located in the main folder.
You have access to these log files:

* `Mass_Update_User_Zones_all.txt` that contains all log entries.
* `Mass_Update_User_Zones_errors.txt` that contains only errors.

# Browser Support
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/browser



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Box UI elements are supported in the following browsers.

* Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest 2 versions)
* Mobile Chrome and Safari

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED GUIDES" />


# Content Explorer
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box Content Explorer UI Element allows developers to embed a folder view of
content stored on Box in their desktop or mobile web application. The library
fetches information about a specified folder through the Box API and then
renders the content in a folder view, similar to the main Box web application.
Users can then navigate through the folder hierarchy and perform file operations
like rename, delete, and share.

Content Explorer comes with a <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer-metadata-v2">metadata view</Link> that uses
metadata query to find files and folders based
on their metadata. The data is then displayed in the embedded view.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for
authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth
and JWT.

When the item grid has focus, either manually by clicking on it or
programmatically via javascript or via the above mentioned `autoFocus` prop, the
following keyboard shortcuts will work if their corresponding operations are
applicable and allowed.

| `g then r`              | Recent items                       |

## Scopes

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Content Explorer functionality, you can use <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to
appropriately downscope the Access Token to a resulting token that has the
desired set of permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user
client initializing the Content Explorer.

Below are a set of UI Element-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping. These
allow developers to enable/disable UI controls on the Content Explorer by
configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To learn
more, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Dedicated Scopes for Box UI Elements</Link>.

### Base Scope

| Scope Name      | Permissions granted                                                               |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `base_explorer` | Allows access to content in the folder tree based on user/file/token permissions. |

### Feature Scopes

| Scope Name      | Permissions granted                                                                                       |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `item_preview`  | Automatically enables preview of the file, upon user click (requires Preview UI Element to be referenced) |
| `item_download` | Allows files/folders contents to be downloaded                                                            |
| `item_rename`   | Allows files/folders to be renamed                                                                        |
| `item_share`    | Allows sharing of resource specified under "resource" of the downscope request.                           |
| `item_delete`   | Allows file/folders to be deleted                                                                         |

### Sample Scenarios

| User wants all functionality (basic, preview, download, rename, share, upload and delete) | `base_explorer` + `item_preview` + `item_download` + `item_rename` + `item_delete` + `item_share` + `item_upload` |

## Custom actions

You can expand the actions in the **More Options** menu for files and folders in Content Explorer and Content Picker. Your custom options show when user clicks the ellipsis button.

To customize the **More Options** menu, pass an array of custom actions to `itemActions`.

```js theme={null}
contentExplorer.show(configData.FOLDER_ID, configData.ACCESS_TOKEN, {
    container: ".container",
    itemActions: customActions,
});
```

The array can include multiple actions. The action object should include the `label` and `onAction` callback functions. You can filter the custom actions to appear only on a specific item `type`, by passing the `file` or `folder` value. The `filter` value is used for advanced filtering, for example by a specific file extension:

```js theme={null}
const customActions = [
    {
        label: "Preview in New Window",
        onAction: (item) => alert('action ' + item),
        type: 'file',
    },
    {
        label: "Open in Box.com",
        onAction: (item) => window.open("https://app.box.com"),
    },
    {
        label: "Export",
        onAction: (item) => console.log('action ' + item),
        filter: (item) => item.extension?.toLowerCase() === 'pdf',
    }
];
```

# Content Explorer - metadata view v1
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer-metadata-v1



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

<Note>
  The `v1` of the metadata view Content Explorer has reached end of support. While `v1` remains available in the `24.0.0` package, it no longer receives bug fixes or new features. Follow the migration guide and switch to the `v2` metadata view of Content Explorer in order to receive the newest features.
</Note>

With Content Explorer you can display files and folders based on their metadata.
The metadata view uses <Link href="/reference/get-metadata-templates-id">metadata template</Link> and <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">metadata query</Link> to find the data you want to display.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Metadata view" />
</Frame>

## Prerequisites

* Read the <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer">Content Explorer</Link> guide.
* Check the <Link href="/guides/metadata/#metadata-terminology">metadata terminology</Link>.
* Check the information on <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">metadata queries</Link>.

## Create and configure an app

1. <Link href="/guides/applications/platform-apps/create">Create a Box app</Link>.
2. Add the local development address in the CORS Domains: <img alt="CORS Domains" />
3. Generate a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">developer token</Link>.

## Create a metadata template

The next step is to create a metadata template.

1. Use <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">Metadata API</Link> or [Admin Console][creating-templates-ui] to create the template.
2. Apply an already created template to a Box folder. Make sure you enable the
   cascade policy. For detailed instructions, see
   [instructions on customizing and applying templates][apply-templates].

<Note>
  You can also apply a metadata template to a file.
</Note>

### Display name and key parameters

* The `displayName` parameter is the display name of the template visible
  in the Admin Console.
* The `templateKey` parameter is a unique identifier of the template. It needs
  to be unique across the enterprise for which you create the metadata template.
  If you don't provide the `templateKey` parameter, API creates a unique one
  based on the value in `displayName`.
* The `[fields].displayName` parameter is the display name of the field as it
  is shown to the user in the web and mobile apps.
* The `[fields].key` parameter is a unique identifier for a specific field in
  the template. The identifier must be unique within the template to which it
  belongs.

## Display metadata view

Proceed to fill in the necessary properties passed to the Content Explorer.
To make things easier, you can use a [sample project][metadata-project] based on a basic React app to launch metadata view.

1. Clone the metadata sample project.

2. Update the placeholders in [`App.js`][appjs] with actual values:

   | Parameter                | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
   | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | `DEVELOPER_TOKEN`        | <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">Developer token</Link> generated in the Developer Console.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
   | `ENTERPRISE_ID`          | Enterprise ID copied from the **General Settings** tab of your Box application.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
   | `METADATA_TEMPLATE_NAME` | `templateKey` of your already created metadata template. **Note**: To make sure you provided the proper name, use the <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/get/#get-a-metadata-template-by-name">metadata API</Link> to retrieve the name, or copy it from the URL in the Admin Console. <img alt="Metadata name in Admin Console" /> If you decide to change the template name in the UI, you change the display name only. The name to use in the component is always the one you provided at the beginning. |
   | `METADATA_SOURCE`        | Source of your <Link href="/guides/metadata/scopes">metadata</Link>. It's a string that combines the scope, enterprise ID, and metadata key.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
   | `ROOTFOLDER_ID`          | ID of a Box folder to which you want to apply the metadata query and display filtered files.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

   The `defaultView`, `fieldsToShow`, and `metadataQuery` parameters are already
   defined in the sample project. Examples of these parameters are available in the sample project.

   | Parameter       | Description                                                                                                                                                                                           |
   | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | `defaultView`   | A required prop to paint the metadata view. If it's not provided, you get the regular file view.                                                                                                      |
   | `fieldsToShow`  | Add or hide specific metadata columns to display in the Content Explorer.                                                                                                                             |
   | `metadataQuery` | Provides a way to find files and folders by searching for the metadata attached to them. For additional information on metadata queries, see <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">this guide</Link>. |

3. Pass the required parameters to the Content Explorer component.

A sample code for a React component including the Content Explorer metadata view would look as follows:

```js theme={null}
function App() {
    const token = "<DEVELOPER_TOKEN>";
    const rootFolderID = "<ROOTFOLDER_ID>";
    const EID = "<ENTERPRISE_ID>";
    const templateName = "<METADATA_TEMPLATE_NAME>";
    const metadataSource = `enterprise_${EID}.${templateName}`;
    const metadataSourceFieldName = `metadata.${metadataSource}`;
    const metadataQuery = {
    	from: metadataSource,
    	query: "key = :arg1",
    	query_params: { arg1: "value" },
    	ancestor_folder_id: 0,
    	fields: [
        `${metadataSourceFieldName}.name`,
        `${metadataSourceFieldName}.last_contacted_at`,
        `${metadataSourceFieldName}.industry`,
        `${metadataSourceFieldName}.role`,
        ],
    };

    const fieldsToShow = [
    // canEdit propetry determines if the user can edit the metadata directly from Content Explorer component
    { key: `${metadataSourceFieldName}.name`, canEdit: false },
    // displayName alows to change the label on metadata column
    { key: `${metadataSourceFieldName}.industry`, canEdit: false, displayName: "alias" },
    { key: `${metadataSourceFieldName}.last_contacted_at`, canEdit: true },
    { key: `${metadataSourceFieldName}.role`, canEdit: true },
    ];

const defaultView = "metadata";
return (
    <IntlProvider locale="en">
        <div className="App">
            <header className="App-header">
                <h2>Metadata view in Content Explorer</h2>
            </header>
            <section>
                <div className="metadata-based-view">
                    <ContentExplorer
                        rootFolderId={rootFolderID}
                        token={token}
                        metadataQuery={metadataQuery}
                        fieldsToShow={fieldsToShow}
                        defaultView={defaultView}
                    />
                </div>
            </section>
        </div>
    </IntlProvider>
);
}

export default App;
```

## Metadata keys

To decide which fields to show, the Content Explorer uses metadata
<Link href="/reference/post-metadata-templates-schema/#param-fields-key">field keys</Link>, not the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-templates-schema/#param-fields-displayName">display names</Link>. You can see the
display names in the Admin Console and user view, but you can obtain the field
keys through the API.

The field keys are not changing, even if you change the metadata display name.
This ensures that the functionality works properly, despite any changes to the
metadata in UI view.

### Metadata keys sanitization

<Link href="/reference/post-metadata-templates-schema/#param-fields-key">Keys</Link> are restricted to alphanumeric characters only:

* No hyphens `-` or underscores `_` are permitted.
* Only letters (`a-z, A-Z`) and numbers (`0-9`) are allowed.

**Non-Latin characters:**

If keys contain characters from non-Latin alphabets (such as Cyrillic, Arabic,
Chinese, etc.) they are automatically renamed to generic identifiers:

* `field` for the first occurrence
* `field1`, `field2`, and so on for subsequent occurrences

Keys are based on the display names.

# Content Explorer – metadata view v2
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer-metadata-v2



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The metadata view of <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer/">Content Explorer</Link> allows you to display files and folders based on their metadata.

## Overview

The metadata view `v2` is a ground-up redesign of the original metadata view of the Box Content Explorer UI element. It introduces a streamlined interface tailored for metadata-driven workflows. Key features include filtering and editing interfaces with dedicated UI for each metadata field type, flexible display options with list and grid views, pagination support, and more.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Metadata view" />
</Frame>

## Prerequisites

Before implementing the metadata view `v2` of Content Explorer, ensure you have:

* The `box-ui-elements` package `v24.0.0`+, React `v18.0.0`, and `Node.js` `v18.0.0`+
* The platform app with proper CORS settings
* A valid <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens/">developer token</Link>
* A configured metadata template applied to target folder or files. See <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/create">creating templates with API</Link> or [with the Admin Console][creating-templates-ui].

<Tip>
  Make sure you enable the cascade policy. For detailed instructions, see
  [instructions on customizing and applying templates][apply-templates].
</Tip>

## Interface areas

The metadata view interface consists of the following areas:

* **Header** – Displays the current view title, navigation, and context-sensitive information like selection counts. The header value can be specified with a `title` prop. If it’s not defined, it defaults to the folder name specified in the `ancestor_folder_id`.
* **Action bar** – Contains filter chips for each metadata field, sort options, and the view mode toggle button (list or grid).
* **Pagination footer** – Provides the **Previous** and **Next** navigation buttons and page indicators.

## Display metadata view

To display the metadata view of Content Explorer, you need the following properties:

| Property                                  | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `token`                                   | Developer token generated in the Developer Console.                                                                                    |
| `title`                                   | The title of the whole component, if not defined, defaults to the folder name specified in the `ancestor_folder_id`.                   |
| `defaultView`                             | Must be set to `metadata`.                                                                                                             |
| `features.contentExplorer.metadataViewV2` | Must be set to true to enable the metadata view (v2).                                                                                  |
| `metadataQuery`                           | Metadata query request body matching the <Link href="/reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read/">Metadata Query API</Link> schema. |
| `metadataViewProps`                       | Component configuration. For configuration details, see `metadataViewProps` object.                                                    |
| `columns`                                 | Defines the structure and behavior of your metadata table columns. See Columns for details.                                            |

Depending on your needs and setup, Box UI Elements can be used with Vanilla JavaScript or React. You can learn more about installation from the <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Installation</Link> guide.

<Note>
  **Capitalized strings need to be replaced with your custom values.**
</Note>

### Vanilla JavaScript code snippet

```js theme={null}
const contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer();

contentExplorer.show(FOLDER_ID, ACCESS_TOKEN, {
  container: ".container",
  defaultView: "metadata",
  // metadataQuery must match the query files/folders by metadata API body request:
  // </reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read/>
  metadataQuery: {
    from: "METADATA_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY", // For example from: "enterprise_123456789.templatename" where the number is the enterprise_123456789 is metadata template scope)
    ancestor_folder_id: "FOLDER_ID"
    // Metadata fields and values pulled to the component
    fields: [
        "metadata.TEMPLATE_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY.FIELD_KEY1",
        "metadata.TEMPLATE_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY.FIELD_KEY2",
        "metadata.TEMPLATE_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY.FIELD_KEY3",  // For example "metadata.enterprise_123456789.templatename.date"
        ...
    ]
    // Optional for filtering data with specific metadata value
    query: "METADATA_FIELD_KEY = :arg1",
    query_params: { arg1: "METADATA_FIELD_VALUE" },
  },
  features: {
    contentExplorer: {
      metadataViewV2: true, // Required for enabling V2
    },
  },
 // NEW dynamic column configuration
  metadataViewProps: {
    columns // Required - for details see section below
    ...
  }
});
```

### React code snippet

```js theme={null}
import React from 'react';
import { IntlProvider } from 'react-intl';
import ContentExplorer from "box-ui-elements/es/elements/content-explorer"

// Fill with custom values of your metadata template
// You can use this endpoint to get all needed values: /reference/get-metadata-templates-id-id-schema/
const metadataScopeAndKey = `${METADATA_TEMPLATE_SCOPE}.${METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY}`;
const metadataFieldNamePrefix = `metadata.${metadataScopeAndKey}`;
const folderID = "FOLDER_ID"

const metadataQuery = {
   // Check this endpoint for more details on query structure:
   // /reference/post-metadata-queries-execute-read/
   from: metadataScopeAndKey,
   ancestor_folder_id: folderID,
   fields: [
      "metadata.METADATA_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY.METADATA_FIELD_KEY1",
      "metadata.METADATA_SCOPE.TEMPLATE_KEY.METADATA_FIELD_KEY2",  // For example "metadata.enterprise_123456789.templatename.date"
      ...
   ]
};

// Required - for details see section below
const columns = [
   {
      textValue: "METADATA_FIELD_DISPLAY_NAME1", // or our your custom value
      id: `${metadataFieldNamePrefix}.${METADATA_FIELD_KEY1}`,
      type: field.type,
      allowsSorting: true,
      minWidth: 150,
      maxWidth: 150,
   },
   {
      textValue: "METADATA_FIELD_DISPLAY_NAME2", // or our your custom value
      id: `${metadataFieldNamePrefix}.${METADATA_FIELD_KEY2}`,
      type: field.type,
      allowsSorting: true,
      minWidth: 150,
      maxWidth: 150,
   },
   ...
];

const componentProps = {
 features: {
   contentExplorer: {
       metadataViewV2: true,
   },
 },
 metadataQuery,
 metadataViewProps: {
   columns
 },
};

const ContentExplorerContainer = () => {
 const { features, metadataQuery, metadataViewProps } = componentProps;
 // Store token in a secure way
 return (
   <IntlProvider locale="en">
     <ContentExplorer
       token={TOKEN}
       defaultView="metadata"
       features={features}
       metadataQuery={metadataQuery}
       metadataViewProps={metadataViewProps}
     />
   </IntlProvider>
 );
};

export default ContentExplorerContainer;
```

## Columns

The columns prop defines the structure and behavior of your metadata table columns.

| Property        | Type    | Required | Description                                                                                 |
| --------------- | ------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `id`            | string  | Yes      | Metadata field identifier in the following format: `metadata.<scope>.<templateKey>.<field>` |
| `textValue`     | string  | Yes      | Column header display name.                                                                 |
| `type`          | string  | Yes      | Box metadata field type (`string`, `number`, `date`, `singleSelect`, `multiSelect`).        |
| `allowsSorting` | boolean | No       | Enables column header sorting.                                                              |
| `minWidth`      | number  | No       | Minimum column width in pixels.                                                             |
| `maxWidth`      | number  | No       | Maximum column width in pixels.                                                             |

## Features

### Enabling row selection

You can enable selecting individual rows. When one or more rows are selected, the header updates to show a selection descriptor and a metadata edit button. This allows users to perform single or bulk actions. Row selection is scoped to the paginated content.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Row selection" />
</Frame>

To enable the selection feature, set the `isSelectionEnabled` property to `true` within the `metadataViewProps` object:

```js theme={null}
const contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer();

contentExplorer.show(FOLDER_ID, ACCESS_TOKEN, {
 ...
 metadataViewProps: {
   columns,
   isSelectionEnabled: true
 },
});
```

### Editing metadata values

When one or more items are selected, the component header displays the selected count and the **Metadata** button becomes active. Clicking the **Metadata** button opens a sidebar that lets users view and edit metadata for the selected items.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Editing metadata" />
</Frame>

This behavior is enabled by default; no additional properties are required to activate it.

### Filtering metadata

Filter items by the file type, filter folders, or filter by metadata field values specified in the Box <Link href="/guides/metadata/templates/">metadata templates</Link>.

Filter chips are enabled by default. To disable the **All Filters** chip, set the `isAllFiltersDisabled` to `true` in the `actionBarProps` object:

```js theme={null}
const contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer();

contentExplorer.show(FOLDER_ID, ACCESS_TOKEN, {
 ...
metadataViewProps: {
    columns,
    isSelectionEnabled: true,
    actionBarProps: { 
        isAllFiltersDisabled: true,
    }
  },
});
```

### Toggling list and grid view

Grid view is available by default through the view mode toggle button in the action bar. When the grid view is active, a zoom control becomes available. Other functionalities like selecting, filtering, and editing are also available within this view.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Grid view" />
</Frame>

To disable grid view, set `actionBarProps.isViewModeButtonDisabled` to `true` within the `metadataViewProps` object:

```js theme={null}
const contentExplorer = new Box.ContentExplorer();

contentExplorer.show(FOLDER_ID, ACCESS_TOKEN, {
 ...
 metadataViewProps: {
   columns,
   actionBarProps: {
     isViewModeButtonDisabled: true,
   }
 },
});
```

### Pagination

The UI Element uses marker-based pagination only, with the footer always visible. You cannot set an offset or page number. Users can navigate using only **Previous** and **Next**. Infinite scrolling is not supported.

## Migrating from v1 to v2

### Npm package

<Note>
  The `v1` of the metadata view Content Explorer has reached end of support. While `v1` remains available in the `24.0.0` package, it will no longer receive bug fixes or new features. Follow the migration guide and switch to the `v2` metadata view of Content Explorer in order to receive the newest features.
</Note>

To migrate from `v1` to v2 in projects using `box-ui-elements` package:

1. Upgrade the `box-ui-elements` package version to version `24.0.0` or higher.
2. Ensure `box-ui-elements` peer dependencies are added as dependencies in your `package.json` file. Install them with your package manager.
3. Add the `features` flag to enable the enhanced metadata view.

```js theme={null}
features: {
   contentExplorer: {
       metadataViewV2: true
   }
}
```

4. Convert your metadata `fieldToShow` configuration to the new column object. Add field types that correspond with the values in the Box metadata template. Pass the columns array to the new `metadataViewProps` object.

```js theme={null}
const columns = [
    {
       textValue: "METADATA_FIELD_DISPLAY_NAME", // Altenratively pass a custom value
       id: `${metadataFieldNamePrefix}.${METADATA_FIELD_KEY}`,
       type: field.type,
       allowsSorting: true, // Optional
       minWidth: 150, // Optional; the default value is 220
       maxWidth: 150, // Optional; the default value is 220
    },
    ...
];
```

5. Optionally, configure additional features described in this guide.

### CDN

To migrate from `v1` to v2 in projects using CDN imports:

1. Ensure that CDN link includes package version with version `24.0.0` or higher.
2. Add the `features` flag to enable the enhanced metadata view.

```js theme={null}
features: {
   contentExplorer: {
       metadataViewV2: true
   }
}
```

3. Convert your metadata `fieldToShow` configuration to the new column object. Add field types that correspond with the values in the Box metadata template. Pass the columns array to the new `metadataViewProps` object.

```js theme={null}
const columns = [
    {
       textValue: "METADATA_FIELD_DISPLAY_NAME", // Altenratively pass a custom value
       id: `${metadataFieldNamePrefix}.${METADATA_FIELD_KEY}`,
       type: field.type,
       allowsSorting: true, // Optional
       minWidth: 150, // Optional; the default value is 220
       maxWidth: 150, // Optional; the default value is 220
    },
    ...
];
```

4. Optionally, configure additional features described in this guide.

# UI Elements
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/index



Box UI Elements are pre-built UI components that allow developers to add
elements of the main Box web application into their own applications. They can
be used to navigate through, upload, preview, and select content stored on Box
and are available both as React components and framework-agnostic JavaScript
libraries.

## Available Elements

Box offers several UI Elements to create common user experiences with files and
folders in an application.

The available UI Elements are:

* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer">Content Explorer</Link>- Allow users to search and browse through files and folders. It also has a metadata query based view <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/explorer-metadata-v2">variant</Link> that supports items sorting, filtering, custom columns, and more.
* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/open-with">Content Open With</Link> - Allow users to open content stored in box with a partner application using an embedded dropdown.

<Warning>
  We no longer support the `OpenWith` UI element for any new customers as of December 21, 2021.
</Warning>

* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/picker">Content Picker</Link> - Allow users to select files or folders from their Box account.
* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview">Content Preview</Link> - Display interactive viewers for documents, images, audio, video, and more.
* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/sidebar">Content Sidebar</Link> - Display a sidebar for file metadata and activity feed information.
* <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/uploader">Content Uploader</Link> - Allow users to upload files by selecting or using drag-and-drop.

UI Elements can be used in isolation or joined together to construct common user
flows with content, such as uploading and then viewing a file.


# Installation
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation



UI Elements can be used either by downloading the Javascript libraries
directly from the Box CDN or by installing our [NPM package][npm]. All UI
Elements require their corresponding CSS stylesheet to render properly.

## Prerequisites

To use Box UI Elements, you need the following Node and React versions:

* Node version: `>=18.18.2 <22.11.0`
* React version `>=18.0.0 <=19.0.0`

The available versions of UI elements are listed in the [manual installation][manual-installation] section.

### Migration to React 19

For existing projects based on React 18 or below, check the [React 19 migration guide][react-migration].

<Warning>
  Update `react-tether` in your `package.json` to `>= v3.0.3` to avoid compatibility issues.
</Warning>

Once you upgrade React in your project, update the `box-ui-elements` package with `npm` or `yarn`:

```shell theme={null}
npm install box-ui-elements --legacy-peer-deps

yarn add box-ui-elements
```

This should result in updated version in the `package.json` file:

```json theme={null}
"box-ui-elements": "^26.3.0"
```

No additional changes related to Box UI elements are required in your code.

For more information, check the blog post about React 19 upgrade for UI elements.

## NPM installation

Use this when you are building a React based app and would like to import the
components directly into your app at build time.

> **Note** The `--legacy-peer-deps` flag is necessary when installing UI elements with `npm` due to library dependencies.

```sh theme={null}
npm install box-ui-elements --legacy-peer-deps
yarn add box-ui-elements
```

<Card href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/box-ui-elements" title="Learn more on the NPM website" />

<Warning>
  ## Content Preview

  Use the Content Preview SDK if you need a specific
  version of the preview library. Otherwise,
  use Content Preview UI Element wrapper.
</Warning>

## Manual installation

All the UI elements are also available directly from the Box CDN.

Use these links to either download the elements code to your application's
code, or embed them straight into your page from the CDN.

```html theme={null}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <!-- Latest version of the explorer css for your locale -->
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/{VERSION}/en-US/explorer.css"
    />
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- Latest version of the explorer js for your locale -->
    <script src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/{VERSION}/en-US/explorer.js"></script>
    ...
  </body>
</html>
```

For Box Preview, the sample would look slightly different.

```html theme={null}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Box Content Preview Demo</title>

    <!-- Latest version of Box Content Preview for en-US locale -->
    <script src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/preview/{VERSION}/en-US/preview.js"></script>
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/preview/{VERSION}/en-US/preview.css"
    />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="preview-container" style="height:400px; width:100%;"></div>
    <script>
      var preview = new Box.Preview();
      preview.show("93392244621", "EqFyi1Yq1tD9mxY8F38sxDfp73pFd7FP", {
        container: ".preview-container",
        showDownload: true,
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```

### Versions

Most of the UI elements have 2 distinct versions.

* A standard `*.js` file (e.g. `explore.js`) that includes React and ReactDOM in the bundle.
  * Use this when you are not building a React based app or you don't want to include the components as part of your app's build process.
  * It includes React and ReactDOM libraries.
  * The file size of this asset will be larger than the one below.
* A smaller `*.no.react.js` file (e.g. `explore.no.react.js`) that does not get bundled with React and ReactDOM.
  * Use this when both React and ReactDOM libraries are already loaded on the application.
  * These libraries expect a React and ReactDOM `>= 16.6` and `< 18`.

<message>
  Only one of the two `js` files and the additional `css` file need to be added
  to a project.
</message>

### Supported Locales

The above asset URLs use `en-US`. If you want to use another locale, then
replace `en-US` in the URLs above with any of the following:

`en-AU`, `en-CA`, `en-GB`, `da-DK`, `de-DE`, `es-ES`, `fi-FI`, `fr-CA`, `fr-FR`,
`it-IT`, `ja-JP,`, `ko-KR`, `nb-NO`, `nl-NL`, `pl-PL`, `pt-BR`, `ru-RU`,
`sv-SE`, `tr-TR`, `zh-CN`, `zh-TW`

## Self-hosting Content Preview

To serve the Box Content Preview library from your own server, follow these
steps.

### 1. Download release

Either fork the repository and check out the version you want to serve or
download the specific version as a zip.

* Check out a specific version with `git checkout v3.0.0`.
* Download a specific version as a zip from the [releases][preview-releases] page.

### 2. Install dependencies

Install the dependencies and build the library with the following command.

```sh theme={null}
yarn install && yarn build:i18n && yarn build:prod
```

### 3. Serve files

Self-serve everything except for the `dev` folder from the `/dist` folder. You
must not alter the folder structure and `third-party` needs to be in the same
folder as `3.0.0`.

For example, if you self-host using a `box-assets` directory, these URLs must
be accessible:

* `https://cdn.YOUR_SITE.com/box-assets/3.0.0/en-US/preview.js`
* `https://cdn.YOUR_SITE.com/box-assets/third-party/text/2.65.0/papaparse.min.js`
* `https://cdn.YOUR_SITE.com/box-assets/third-party/model3d/1.12.0/three.min.js`

## Authentication

In order to initialize any of the UI Elements, an application will need to
provide a valid Access Token.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/select")} title="Learn how to authenticate an application" />

It is also recommended to <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscope</Link> an Access Token before passing
it into an insecure environment (the user's web browser).

UI Elements only expect any Access Token to be passed in for authentication, and
can therefore be used for any type of authentication available from Box
Platform.

For testing purposes, a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">Developer Token</Link> can be used.

## CORS

To use UI Elements, an application needs to allow the domain the widget is
used on for Cross Origin Resource sharing. See the <Link href="/guides/security/cors">CORS guide</Link> for more
details.

## Source Code & Releases

# Content Open With
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/open-with



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

<Warning>
  We no longer support the `OpenWith` UI element for any new customers
  as of December 21, 2021.
</Warning>

The Box Content Open With UI Element allows developers to embed a dropdown to
open content stored in box with a partner application, or locally on the
desktop.

The Element fetches information about enabled integrations using the
Box API, and calls out to partner services. Users can then take action in these
services, and the edited content will be automatically saved back to Box.

The integrations included in the Open With Element are Google Suite,
and Box Edit. Additional information on the Google Suite integration can be
found on the [Box Community site][community].

Currently, the element only supports <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users">App Users</Link>
for authentication.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Box Edit

Box Edit requires additional setup in order to be integrated into a platform
application. Box Edit uses the desktop application [Box Tools][tools] in order
to open content locally.

* Requests must use a secure connection (from an `https` domain)
* The application's domain must be allowed by Box Tools. Instructions can be found <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/custom-domains">here</Link>. The ideal workflow is to bundle these steps within an installer that also installs Box Tools.
* Safari requires a browser extension to connect to box tools. More details can be found [here][safari].

## G Suite

A valid G Suite account is required in order to use the Box for G Suite
integration. To connect a user's G Suite and Box account, the
`external_app_user_id` of the app user must be updated to be the email address
associated with the user's G Suite account.

The `external_app_user_id` of an app user can be updated via the
<Link href="/reference/put-users-id">`PUT /users/:id`</Link> endpoint.

## Setup

The Open With UI Element is intended to be used after allowing your
application and enabling integrations for app users using Box API endpoints.

### Activate application

The 'Open With' UI Element is available to any developer building with the Box
Platform. To activate it for your instance, add the "Enable integrations" scope
to your application in the developer console.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Enable Integrations" />
</Frame>

Once your application has been activated for API calls it will need to be
reauthorized in your enterprise. The steps for performing these actions are
available <Link href="/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval">here</Link>.

## List available integrations

The first step to assigning an app integration to a user is to get the list of
integrations that are available. This `GET` request can be made with the following
`cURL` request.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/app_integrations \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]'
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "next_marker": null,
  "entries": [
    { "type": "app_integration", "id": "10897" },
    { "type": "app_integration", "id": "1338" },
    { "type": "app_integration", "id": "13418" },
    { "type": "app_integration", "id": "3282" }
  ],
  "limit": 100
}
```

The app integration IDs are used to assign an integration to a given user.

## Get a specific integration

To obtain additional information about a specific integration, based on ID, the
following GET request may be made.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X GET \
    https://api.box.com/2.0/app_integrations/[APP_INTEGRATION_ID] \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]'
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "app_integration",
  "id": "10897",
  "app": {
    "type": "app",
    "id": "336417"
  },
  "name": "Edit with G Suite",
  "description": "Securely manage your Google Docs, Sheets and Slides in Box",
  "executable_item_types": [
    "file"
  ],
  "restricted_extensions": [
    "docx",
    "gdoc",
    "xlsx",
    "gsheet",
    "pptx",
    "gslides",
    "gslide"
  ],
  "scoped_to": "parent"
}
```

## Add integration to user

To add an app integration to a valid app user, three pieces of information are
required:

* A valid <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> Access Token.
* The ID of the app user to be assigned the integration
* The ID of the app integration to assign to the user

<Warning>
  While the two previous requests to get app integration information can be done
  with any valid token including a valid developer token, adding and removing
  app integrations requires a valid service account's access token. Using a
  developer token will produce a `404 Not Found` error.
</Warning>

The following `POST` request can be made to assign an app integration to an app
user:

```sh theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/app_integration_assignments \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN]' \
    -d '{
      "assignee": {
        "type": "user",
        "id": "[APP_USER_ID]"
      },
      "app_integration": {
        "type": "app_integration",
        "id": "[APP_INTEGRATION_ID]"
      }
    }'
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "app_integration_assignment",
  "id": "72048301",
  "assignee": {
    "type": "user",
    "id": "6084519920"
  },
  "app_integration": {
    "type": "app_integration",
    "id": "3282"
  }
}
```

The ID in the JSON response can be used to manage app integrations after
assignment, and should be stored by the application.

## Remove integration from user

To remove an app integration from an app user, the following request may be made
with a valid service access token and the app integration assignment ID from the
previous step.

```sh theme={null}
curl -X DELETE https://api.box.com/2.0/app_integration_assignments/[APP_INTEGRATION_ASSIGNMENT_ID] \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer [SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN]'
```

```sh theme={null}
204 No Content
```

## Sample HTML

```html theme={null}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Box Content Open With Demo</title>

    <!-- Latest version of the open with css for your locale -->
    <link
      rel="stylesheet"
      href="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/{VERSION}/en-US/openwith.css"
    />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container" style="height:600px"></div>
    <!-- Latest version of the open with js for your locale -->
    <script src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/{VERSION}/en-US/openwith.js"></script>
    <script>
      var fileId = "123";
      var accessToken = "abc";
      var contentOpenWith = new Box.ContentOpenWith();
      contentOpenWith.show(fileId, accessToken, {
        container: ".container"
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```

## Demo

### Open With Example

<iframe title="Box Open With Example" />

### Content Explorer + Open With Example

<iframe title="Box Content Explorer Example + Open With" />

<Info>
  **Access Token**

  These demos may not fully function until you provide a valid access token under
  the JS tab of the demo. For the Open With element, you must provide a valid
  <Link href="/guides/getting-started/users#service-account">Service Account</Link> Access Token.
</Info>

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for
authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth
and JWT.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/select")} title="Learn about selecting an authentication method" />

## Scopes

To run integrations with downscoped tokens, you must include the
`item_execute_integration` scope as well as the scope required by the specific
integration you would like to use.

* **Google**: `item_readwrite` on the parent folder
* **Adobe**: `root_readwrite`
* **Box Edit**: `item_readwrite` on the parent folder.
* **Box Edit Single File Collaboration**: `item_readwrite` on the file.

More information on scopes can be found <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">here</Link>.

## API

```js theme={null}
const { ContentOpenWith } = Box;
const contentOpenWith = new ContentOpenWith();

/**
 * Shows the content open with element.
 *
 * @param {string} fileId - The root file id
 * @param {string} accessToken - Box API access token

# Content Picker
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/picker



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box Content Picker UI Element allows developers to add support for selecting
files and folders from Box in their desktop or mobile web application. The
library fetches information about a specified folder through the Box API and
renders the content in a folder view. Users can select files or folders and this
content information is then passed to another part of the application.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for

programmatically via javascript or via the above mentioned `autoFocus` prop, the
following keyboard shortcuts will work if their corresponding operations are
applicable and allowed.

## Scopes

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Content Picker functionality, you can use <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to
appropriately downscope the Access Token to a resulting token that has the
desired set of permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user
client initializing the Content Picker.

Below are a set of UI Element-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping. These
allow developers to enable/disable UI controls on the Content Picker by
configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To learn
more, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Dedicated Scopes for Box UI Elements</Link>.

| Scope Name    | Permissions granted                                                              |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `base_picker` | Allows access to content in the folder tree based on user/file/token permissions |

### Feature Scopes

| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `item_share`  | Allows sharing of resource specified under "resource" of the Token Exchange request. |
| `item_upload` | Allows upload in the content picker                                                  |

You can expand the actions in the **More Options** menu for files and folders in Content Explorer and Content Picker. Your custom options show when user clicks the ellipsis button.

To customize the **More Options** menu, pass an array of custom actions to `itemActions`.

```js theme={null}
contentExplorer.show(configData.FOLDER_ID, configData.ACCESS_TOKEN, {
    container: ".container",
    itemActions: customActions,
});
```

The array can include multiple actions. The action object should include the `label`, and the `onAction` callback function. You can filter the custom actions to appear only on a specific item `type`, by passing the `file` or `folder` value. The `filter` value is used for advanced filtering, for example by a specific file extension:

```js theme={null}
const customActions = [
    {
        label: "Preview in New Window",
        onAction: (item) => alert('action ' + item),
        type: 'file',
    },
    {
        label: "Open in Box.com",
        onAction: (item) => window.open("https://app.box.com"),
    },
    {
        label: "Export",
        onAction: (item) => console.log('action ' + item),
        filter: (item) => item.extension?.toLowerCase() === 'pdf',
    },
];
```

# The `box` npm package
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/box-npm-package

What `npm install box` provides, how to use the bundled SDK and CLI, and what existing `box-node-sdk` users need to know.

The `box` package on npm bundles the [Box Node SDK](/guides/tooling/sdks/node) and the [Box CLI](/guides/cli) into a single install. Use it to add Box to a JavaScript or TypeScript project — and to run Box CLI commands — with one command.

## What's included

`npm install box` installs two direct dependencies:

* **Box Node SDK**, exposed at the `box/sdk` subpath.
* **Box CLI**, exposed via `npx box`.

TypeScript types are included.

## Prerequisites

Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 22 or later.

## Install

```bash theme={null}
npm install box
```

The package works with npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun.

## Use the SDK

Import the SDK from the `box/sdk` subpath:

```javascript theme={null}
import BoxSDK from 'box/sdk';  // ESM
const BoxSDK = require('box/sdk');  // CommonJS
```

For SDK usage and authentication, see [Install the Node SDK](/guides/tooling/sdks/node) and the [authentication guides](/guides/authentication/select).

<Info>
  **Stable alias.** You can also import the SDK from the package root with `import BoxSDK from 'box'`. This returns the same SDK and is designed to remain stable across future changes to the underlying package.
</Info>

## Use the CLI

Run any CLI command with `npx box`:

```bash theme={null}
npx box --help
npx box login
npx box users:get me
```

No separate CLI install is required. For full CLI documentation, see the [CLI overview](/guides/cli).

## Continuous integration

The package is CI-safe. The post-install message is skipped when any of the following are true:

* The `CI` environment variable is set to `true`.
* The `SUPPRESS_BOX_INSTALL_MESSAGE` environment variable is set.
* The install runs with `--ignore-scripts`.

No network requests are made during or after installation. All Box API traffic happens through the Box SDK and CLI at runtime, using your application's authentication.

## Security

Every release includes cryptographic provenance attestations that are verifiable against the official GitHub repository.

## Not a browser package

The `box` package is for Node.js. To embed Box UI components in a browser application, install [`box-ui-elements`](/guides/embed/ui-elements) separately.

## Existing `box-node-sdk` users

No migration is required. If `box-node-sdk` works for you, leave it. The `box` package is for developers — and their coding agents — starting fresh. Existing code is unaffected.

## Open source

The `box` package is open source under the Apache 2.0 license at [github.com/box/npm-box](https://github.com/box/npm-box). Contributions go through pull requests against that repository.

# Deprecated Box Next Gen .NET SDK
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/sdks/dotnet-gen



<Warning>
  As of September 17, 2025 Box Next Generation SDKs are no longer supported as separate artifacts.

  Don’t worry, your existing code will continue to work without changes. You can still use your applications based on Box Next Generation SDKs with no impact, but you won't receive new features, updates, or bug fixes.

  All future development, including new features and updates, will be delivered through the Box core SDKs. The standalone generated artifact was introduced in the version `v10` of the Box core SDKs, and it is currently available as a separate [branch][sdk-branch].
</Warning>

Check the [migration guide][migration] to learn how to switch from the Box Next Generation SDK to the Box core SDK `v10`.

# Box SDKs
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/sdks/index



Box offers a set of SDKs
you can use to build your application.

<Note>
  The tables below list SDKs along with additional information
  telling you if the project is maintained and has API
  parity.

  **Maintained:** Fully maintained projects are actively developed by Box. They
  receive the latest security updates and new features. For support with these
  projects please visit GitHub or [our Platform support forum][forum].

  **API Parity**: Projects with full API parity are actively updated with all
  platform functionality as this becomes available on Box. Projects
  with partial API parity lack some functionality while we work on bringing
  these projects to full parity.
</Note>

The table lists Box SDKs that you can use when building your
applications. For latest API support and features, use the next
generation SDKs.

| Platform                          | Maintained? | API Parity |
| --------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- |
| [Java SDK][javasdk]               | Yes         | Full       |
| [iOS Content SDK][iossdk]         | Yes         | Full       |
| [.NET SDK][dotnetsdk]             | Yes         | Full       |
| [Python SDK][pythonsdk]           | Yes         | Full       |
| [Node SDK][nodesdk]               | Yes         | Full       |
| [Android Content SDK][androidsdk] | No          | Full       |

<Warning>
  As of May 31, 2023 Android SDK is no
  longer supported. You can still
  use your existing Android SDK applications
  with no impact, but you won't receive new features,
  updates, or bug fixes.

  If you would like to continue getting the
  latest and greatest Android features, use Java SDK to
  build apps on Android.
  Refer to [this][android-docs] documentation for more details.
</Warning>

## Next Generation SDKs

<Warning>
  As of September 17, 2025 Box Next Generation SDKs are no longer supported as separate artifacts.

  Don't worry, your existing code will continue to work without changes. You can still use your applications based on Box Next Generation SDKs with no impact, but you won't receive new features, updates, or bug fixes.

  In keeping with industry best practices, we are consolidating the Box Next Generation SDKs and Box core SDKs into a single package for each programming language. This makes migration efforts much easier and allows seamless additions of new capabilities to existing applications still powered by Box core SDKs, which were maintained manually.

  **All future development, including new features and updates, will be delivered through the Box core SDKs. The standalone generated artifact was introduced in the version `v10` of the Box core SDKs.**

  For more details, see our <Link href="/guides/tooling/sdks/sdk-versioning">SDK versioning strategy document</Link>.
</Warning>

`v10` of Python SDK, Box TypeScript
SDK, Box .NET SDK, Box Java SDK, and Box Swift SDK are designed
to elevate the developer
experience and streamline your integration
with Box Content Cloud.

Here's what you can expect from `v10`:

* **Full API support**: New Box SDKs empower developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box and build feature-rich applications.
* **Rapid API updates**: The new auto-generation development approach allows you to add Box APIs to SDKs at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.
* **Embedded documentation**: All objects and parameters are documented directly in the source code of the SDK so all the necessary information is stored in one place.
* **Enhanced convenience methods**: The newly introduced convenience methods cover various aspects such as authentication, chunk uploads, exponential back-offs, automatic retries, type checkers that help to ensure that you’re using variables correctly, and much more.

# Box SDK versioning strategy
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/sdks/sdk-versioning



The Box core SDKs and the Box Next Generation SDKs were initially created as separate libraries. However, in keeping with industry best practices, **we are consolidating the Box Next Generation SDKs and the Box core SDKs into a single package for each programming language**. This makes migration efforts much easier and allows seamless addition of new capabilities to existing applications still powered by older versions of the Box core SDKs, which were maintained manually.

To facilitate this migration process, there are two actively maintained major Box core SDK versions:

* **A major version that follows sequential versioning for each SDK artifact and includes:** the manually maintained package and the generated one. This SDK version enables leveraging coexisting packages at the same time, and serves as a transition phase. Support for the consolidated version of each Box core SDKs will continue in 2027.
* `v10` that includes **only the generated package**.

Here's what you can expect from generated packages of the Box SDK:

* **Full API support**: New Box SDKs empower developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box and build feature-rich applications.
* **Rapid API updates**: The new auto-generation development approach allows you to add Box APIs to SDKs at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.

# Download zip archive
Source: https://developer.box.com/reference/get-zip-downloads-id-content

box-openapi.json GET /zip_downloads/{zip_download_id}/content
Returns the contents of a `zip` archive in binary format. This URL does not require any form of authentication and could be used in a user's browser to download the archive to a user's device.

By default, this URL is only valid for a few seconds from the creation of the request for this archive. Once a download has started it can not be stopped and resumed, instead a new request for a zip archive would need to be created.

The URL of this endpoint should not be considered as fixed. Instead, use the [Create zip download](/reference/post-zip-downloads) API to request to create a `zip` archive, and then follow the `download_url` field in the response to this endpoint.

box-openapi.json GET /zip_downloads/{zip_download_id}/status
Returns the download status of a `zip` archive, allowing an application to inspect the progress of the download as well as the number of items that might have been skipped.

This endpoint can only be accessed once the download has started. Subsequently this endpoint is valid for 12 hours from the start of the download.

The URL of this endpoint should not be considered as fixed. Instead, use the [Create zip download](/reference/post-zip-downloads) API to request to create a `zip` archive, and then follow the `status_url` field in the response to this endpoint.

# Create zip download
Source: https://developer.box.com/reference/post-zip-downloads

box-openapi.json POST /zip_downloads
Creates a request to download multiple files and folders as a single `zip` archive file. This API does not return the archive but instead performs all the checks to ensure that the user has access to all the items, and then returns a `download_url` and a `status_url` that can be used to download the archive.

The limit for an archive is either the Account's upload limit or 10,000 files, whichever is met first.

**Note**: Downloading a large file can be affected by various factors such as distance, network latency, bandwidth, and congestion, as well as packet loss ratio and current server load. For these reasons we recommend that a maximum ZIP archive total size does not exceed 25GB.

By default, this URL is only valid for a few seconds, until the `expires_at` time, unless a download is started after which the URL is valid for 12 hours from the start of the download. It is important to note that the domain and path of this URL might change between API calls, and therefore it's important to use this URL as-is. |

This would occur when multiple items have been requested with the same name. To solve these conflicts, the API will automatically rename an item and return a mapping between the original item's name and its new name. For every conflict, both files will be renamed and therefore this list will always be a multiple of 2.                                                                                                                                                                  |

# Tools
Source: https://developer.box.com/sdks-and-tools

The following SDKs and tools are developed and supported by Box

## SDKs

Here you will find a list of SDKs
you can use to build your application.

<Note>
  The tables below list SDKs along with additional information
  telling you if the project is maintained and has API
  parity.

  **Status:** Describes the current project status. To learn more about statuses visit [Box Open Source website][badges].
  Active projects are actively developed by Box. They receive the latest security updates and new features. For
  support with these projects please visit GitHub or [our Platform support forum][forum].

  **API Parity**: Projects with full API parity are actively updated with all
  platform functionality as this becomes available on Box. Projects
  with partial API parity lack some functionality while we work on bringing
  these projects to full parity.
</Note>

### SDKs

The table lists Box SDKs that you can use when building your
applications. For latest API support and features, use the next
generation SDKs.

| Platform                          | Status     | API Parity |
| --------------------------------- | ---------- | ---------- |
| [Java SDK][javasdk]               | Active     | Full       |
| [iOS Content SDK][iossdk]         | Active     | Full       |
| [.NET SDK][dotnetsdk]             | Active     | Full       |
| [Python SDK][pythonsdk]           | Active     | Full       |
| [Node SDK][nodesdk]               | Active     | Full       |
| [Android Content SDK][androidsdk] | Deprecated | Partial    |

<Warning>
  As of May 31, 2023 Android SDK is no
  longer supported. You can still
  use your existing Android SDK applications
  with no impact, but you won't receive new features,
  updates, or bug fixes.

  If you would like to continue getting the
  latest and greatest Android features, we
  recommend using Java SDK to build apps on Android.
  Refer to [this][android-docs] documentation for more details.
</Warning>

### Next Generation SDKs

<Warning>
  As of September 17, 2025 Box Next Generation SDKs are no longer supported as separate artifacts.

  Don’t worry, your existing code will continue to work without changes. You can still use your applications based on Box Next Generation SDKs with no impact, but you won't receive new features, updates, or bug fixes.

  **All future development, including new features and updates, will be delivered through the Box core SDKs. The standalone generated artifact was introduced in the version `v10` of the Box core SDKs.**

  For more details, see our [SDK versioning strategy document][versioning].
</Warning>

Here's what you can expect from `v10`:

* **Full API support**: New Box SDKs empower developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box and build feature-rich applications.
* **Rapid API updates**: The new auto-generation development approach allows you to add Box APIs to SDKs at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.
* **Embedded documentation**: All objects and parameters are documented directly in the source code of the SDK so all the necessary information is stored in one place.
* **Enhanced convenience methods**: The newly introduced convenience methods cover various aspects such as authentication, chunk uploads, exponential back-offs, automatic retries, type checkers that help to ensure that you’re using variables correctly, and much more.

## Box CLI

Box CLI is a user-friendly command line tool that
allows both technical and non-technical users to
leverage Box API to perform routine or bulk actions.

| Platform   | Status | API Parity |
| ---------- | ------ | ---------- |
| [CLI][cli] | Active | Full       |

## Postman Collection

[Postman][postman] is a tool that lets you build and test HTTP requests in an
easy-to-use interface without configuring a full development environment. The
**Box Postman Collection** is a set of preconfigured requests that make it
possible to get started with the Box API without having to manually configure
the requests.

The simplest way to get started with Postman is with our Postman Quick Start guide.

<Card title="Get Started with the Box Postman Collection" href={localizeLink("/guides/tooling/postman")} />

## Salesforce Developer Toolkit

The Box for Salesforce Developer Toolkit allows customers to programmatically
customize the behavior of the Box for Salesforce integration. The Toolkit
consists of several global APEX methods that can be used to trigger and extend
the default behavior. The global methods can update the internal Salesforce
record to Box folder mapping and handle permission management.

<Note>
  This functionality is part of the latest Box for
  [Salesforce package][sf-package].
</Note>

<Warning>
  **What the Toolkit does NOT provide**

  The Toolkit is not a full-featured APEX wrapper for the BOX Content API. If
  this is what you are looking for, have a look at the
  [Box SDK for Salesforce][sf-sdk].
</Warning>

## Box CLI

Box CLI is a user-friendly command line tool that
allows both technical and non-technical users to
leverage Box API to perform routine or bulk actions.

| Platform   | Maintained? | API Parity |
| ---------- | ----------- | ---------- |
| [CLI][cli] | Yes         | Full       |

  ## New automated response action for Shield Ransomware Activity alert

  Along with the release of Ransomware Activity: Automated Remediation in Box Shield Pro, the `rule_response_action` parameter is now returned for the [Ransomware Activity alert event][1].

  Previously, `rule_response_action` was always `null` for Ransomware Activity alerts. It now returns a `terminate_sessions` field that reflects whether Box Shield automatically terminated the target user's sessions when the alert was created.

  The value depends on the **Terminate Target User Sessions** rule setting in the Admin Console, which is off by default.

  * If enabled, `terminate_sessions` is `true` when the alert is triggered.
  * If disabled, `terminate_sessions` is `false` when the alert is triggered.

  For all other Shield alerts (**Anomalous Download**, **Malicious Content**, **Suspicious Session**), the `rule_response_action` parameter remains `null`.

  For additional information, see the [Shield Alert Events guide][1].

  ## 21 CFR Part 11 support in the Box Sign API

  You can now create and manage 21 CFR Part 11 (GxP) signature requests through the
  Box Sign API, in addition to standard requests. Previously, 21 CFR Part 11 requests
  were available only in the Box web app. You can now require 21 CFR Part 11 signatures in your own applications, as well as in Box Automate workflows and the Box for Salesforce integration.

  ## What's new

  * A new `request_flow` field lets you create requests using the `cfr11` or
    `standard` flow. When you don't set it, Box uses your enterprise's default.
  * New response fields, `reason` and `is_validated`, on signer inputs surface
    21 CFR Part 11 signing details.
  * The API enforces 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, such as required signer login,
    restricted signature colors, and signature or initials field validation.

  ## API updates

  The following endpoints now support the 21 CFR Part 11 flow:

  * [`POST /sign_requests`][1] — Create a 21 CFR Part 11 or standard sign request.
  * [`GET /:sign_request_id`][2] — Get a sign request, including its `request_flow`.
  * [`GET /sign_requests`][3] — List sign requests with their `request_flow`.
  * [`POST /:sign_request_id/cancel`][4] — Cancel a sign request.
  * [`POST /:sign_request_id/resend`][5] — Resend a sign request.
  * [`GET /:template_id`][6] — Get a template, including its `request_flow`.
  * [`GET /sign_templates`][7] — List templates with their `request_flow`.

  ## Getting started

  To start using 21 CFR Part 11 requests, see the [21 CFR Part 11 requests][8] guide.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][9] for any help needed.

  ## New tutorials: Automate invoice processing and build an AI-powered RFP answer bank

  Two new end-to-end tutorials show you how to use Box AI to better automate your business workflows.

  ### [Invoice intake automation][invoice-intake]

  Stop entering invoice data by hand. This tutorial walks you through building a Python service that watches a Box folder for new PDFs, extracts vendor names, totals, dates, and line items with Box AI Extract, then writes the results back as structured metadata. Ready for your ERP or AP system, all with minimal effort.

  ### [Sales RFP answer bank][sales-rfp]

  Give your sales team instant, accurate answers grounded in approved content. Provision a Box Hub, populate it with curated proposals, embed the AI chat interface in your CRM, and let reps query past responses with natural language. Quicker, easier, and no more hunting through shared drives.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][forum] for any help needed.

<Update label="2026-05-05">
  ## New field types in the Box AI Extract Structured API

  We have introduced two new [complex field](/guides/box-ai/ai-tutorials/extract-metadata-structured#struct-and-table-field-types) types: `struct` and `table` in the Box AI
  `extract_structured`API.

  * Use `struct` to group multiple related sub-fields and extract them as a single JSON object.
    This is useful for extracting a set of related values that belong together, such as an address or a person’s contact details.
  * Use `table` to extract repeating rows of structured data as an array of JSON objects.
    This is useful for extracting multi-row data such as invoice line items or tax tables,
    regardless of how that data is formatted in the source document.

  Both types accept a `fields` array that defines their sub-fields, using the same scalar

  ## Box Agent Skills released

  Box Agent Skills are pre-built instruction sets that teach AI coding assistants how to perform specific tasks. They give your AI assistant the context it needs to build Box integrations, work with Box content through MCP tools, configure webhooks, and use Box AI retrieval — no manual configuration required.

  The skills follow the [Agent Skills][agent-skills] open standard and can be installed as a plugin for [Codex][codex], [Cursor][cursor], or [Claude Code][claude-code].

  For detailed reference material, additional examples, and contributing guidelines, see the [box-for-ai][box-for-ai] repository on GitHub.

  ## Box AI API — new models, default model tables, and updated models overview

  The <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models">AI models overview</Link> page has been updated with the following changes:

  ### New AI models

  The following models are now available:

  * <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models/openai-gpt-5-4-model-card">OpenAI GPT-5.4</Link>
  * <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models/google-gemini-3-1-flash-lite-model-card">Google Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite</Link>

  ### Default model tables

  A new <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models#default-models">Default models</Link> section now documents which AI models are used by default when you do not override the agent configuration. The section includes tables for:

  * **Legacy agents** — default models for Q\&A across Documents, Notes, and Hubs, broken down by provider and capability tier.
  * **Box agents** — default models for Box Agent, Extract Agent, Security Classification Agent, and Threat Analysis Agent.

  ### Restructured models overview

  * Models are now grouped by provider (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral AI, xAI) using collapsible sections.
  * Model cards now display "Compatible with Box Agent" badges where applicable.

  ## Reference in extract

  The [`extract_structured` endpoint](/reference/post-ai-extract-structured) now supports the `include_reference` parameter.
  This parameter allows you to include the information about the location (where in the document the text was extracted) as well as the reference (exact text extracted) in the response.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][forum] for any help needed.

<Update label="2025-12-11">
  ## Box Sign Text Input Validations for Public API and Template Tags

  We've extended Box Sign's text input validation capabilities to support both Public API and template tags. This enables developers and users to apply validation rules programmatically and through templates, closing a critical feature gap for enterprise workflows.

  ## What's new

  Text input validation is now supported through:

  * **Public API**: Create signature requests with validation rules using the Sign API endpoints.
  * **Template tags**: Apply validation rules directly in document templates for use with Public API, Doc Gen, and Salesforce integrations.
  * **Custom regex patterns**: Define custom validation patterns beyond the predefined validation types.

  ## Why it matters

  This update addresses key integration needs:

  * **Public API developers** can programmatically create signature requests with validation rules, including custom regex, ensuring data quality at scale.
  * **Salesforce integration** users can now leverage text input validation rules for fields that sync back to Salesforce.
  * **Doc Gen users** can apply validation to fields in automated document workflows.
    Template Tags with validation support particularly benefits workflows where templates are used programmatically through integrations, eliminating the previous gap where validation was only available through the web interface.

  ## API updates

  The following endpoints now support text input validation:

  * [`POST /sign_requests`][1] — Create sign request with validation.
  * [`GET /:sign_request_id`][2] — Get sign request details including validation.
  * [`GET /sign_requests`][3] — List sign requests with validation info.
  * [`GET /:template_id`][4] — Get template with validation rules.
  * [`GET /sign_templates`][5] — List templates with validation info.

  ## Getting started

  To use text input validation:

  1. Review the [Create sign request endpoint][1] for adding validation to signature requests.
  2. Check out the Box Sign documentation for [applying validation in Template Tags][6].
  3. Explore [custom regex patterns][7] for advanced validation scenarios.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][8] for any help needed.

<Update label="2025-10-23">
  ## Box Windows SDK v6.0.0 released

  Introducing a new major version of Box Windows SDK V2 `v6` that includes two `namespaces` - the manually maintained `namespace` and the generated `namespace`. The coexisting `namespaces` provide easier access to the latest Box API features and support gradual migration to the standalone generated `namespace`.

  ### Breaking Changes

  * With `v6` of Box Windows SDK V2, support for .NET 6 has been dropped. We follow the official [.NET Release Lifecycle][1]. Since November 12, 2024, .NET 6 is no longer officially supported. While it may still be possible to compile and use this SDK under .NET 6, we do not provide support for issues encountered on that version.

  For more information about migrating to `v6` visit [`v5` to `v6` migration guide][2]

  ### What's New in `v6`

  With this SDK version, alongside the existing `Box.V2` `namespace`, we're introducing a new `Box.Sdk.Gen` `namespace`, which gives you access to:

  * **Full API Support** — Complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem, giving you access to all the latest features and functionalities to build feature-rich applications.

  * **Rapid API Updates** — Our new auto-generation approach enables Box API additions within days, ensuring you can leverage the most up-to-date features without delay.

  * **Embedded Documentation** — All objects and parameters are documented directly in the SDK source code, keeping essential information in one place.

  * **Enhanced Convenience Methods** — New methods for authentication, chunk uploads, automatic retries, retry strategy, and more.

  ### Important Notes

  This version allows you to gradually migrate your code base to the `Box.Sdk.Gen` `namespace`. The key differences between the `namespaces` are documented in the [`namespace` migration guide][3].

  Ultimately, we recommend to migrate to `v10` which includes only the generated `namespace` `Box.Sdk.Gen`. To migrate from `v6` to `v10` follow this [migration guide][4].

  For more information, see the [SDK versioning strategy document][5]. Follow developer changelog for future updates.

  ## Box SDKs major version

  Introducing a new major release of Box SDKs that includes two packages — the manually maintained package and the generated package. The coexisting packages provide easier access to the latest Box API features and support gradual migration to the standalone generated package.

  ## Overview

  To facilitate this migration process, there are two actively maintained major Box core SDK versions:

  * **The latest major version that follows sequential versioning and includes** the manually maintained package and the generated one. This SDK version enables leveraging coexisting packages at the same time, and serves as a transition phase. Support for the consolidated version of each Box core SDK will continue in 2027.
  * `v10` that includes **only the generated package**, a consistent version number across all Box SDK artifacts.

  ## Additional information and migration guides

  For additional information on recommended actions and migration guides, visit [Box SDK versioning strategy page][1].

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][2] or report issues directly in the individual Box SDK repositories on GitHub.

  ## Box Python SDK v4.0.0 released

  Introducing a new major version of Box Python SDK `v4` that includes two packages — the manually maintained `boxsdk` package and the generated `box_sdk_gen` package. The coexisting packages provide easier access to the latest Box API features and support gradual migration to the standalone generated package.

  ### Breaking Changes

  * `v4` of Box Python SDK  supports Python versions: 3.8+. Compared to `v3`, Python 3.6 and 3.7 are no longer supported.

  For more information about migrating to `v4` visit [`v3` to `v4` migration guide][1]

  ### What's New in `v4`

  ## Box Node SDK v4.0.0 released

  Introducing a new major version of Box Node SDK `v4` that includes two modules — the manually maintained module and the generated module. The coexisting modules provide easier access to the latest Box API features and support gradual migration to the standalone generated module.

  ### Breaking Changes

  * With `v4` of Box Node SDK, support for Node version below 18 has been dropped. While it may still be possible to download and use this SDK under Node below 18, we do not provide support for issues encountered on that version.

  * We have updated the module export style in the manually maintained `box-node-sdk` module to support the ES module and be more consistent with the generated `sdk-gen` module. Classes in the manual SDK are now exported as default exports from their respective files. When importing with `CommonJS` (`require`), use `.default` to access the class (e.g., `const BoxSDK = require('box-node-sdk').default;`).

  For more information about migrating to `v4` visit [`v3` to `v4` migration guide][1]

  ### What's New in `v4`

  With this SDK version, alongside the existing manually maintained module, we’re introducing a new generated `sdk-gen` module under `box-node-sdk/sdk-gen` import path, which gives you access to:

  * **Full API Support** — Complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem, giving you access to all the latest features and functionalities to build feature-rich applications.

  This version allows you to gradually migrate your code base to the `BoxSdkGen` module. The key differences between the modules are documented in the [module migration guide][3].

  Ultimately, we recommend to migrate to `v10` which includes only the generated module `BoxSdkGen`. To migrate from `v6` to `v10` follow this [migration guide][4].

  For more information, see the [SDK versioning strategy document][5]. Follow developer changelog for future updates.

  ## Metadata view v2 in Content Explorer

  We introduced `v2` of the [metadata view in the Box Content Explorer][1] UI element.
  It's a ground-up redesign of the original version, introducing a streamlined interface tailored for metadata-driven workflows.

  ## Key features

  * filtering and editing interfaces with dedicated UI for each metadata field type,
  * flexible display options with list and grid views,
  * pagination support.

  ## Migration from `v1` to `v2`

  The `v1` of the metadata view Content Explorer has reached end of support and it will no longer receive bug fixes or new features.
  We recommend to migrate to the new `v2` metadata view. See the [migration guide][3] for a detailed instruction.

  ## Where to get support

  ## Box Windows SDK v10.0.0 released

  Introducing **`Box SDK v10`**, a major release designed to elevate your developer experience and streamline integration with Box Content Cloud. Currently available as a separate [`sdk-gen`][1] branch, `v10` will ultimately become the main branch.

  ### Breaking Changes

  ### What's New in `v10`

  * **Full API Support** — Complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem, giving you access to all the latest features and functionalities to build feature-rich applications.

  * **Rapid API Updates** — Our new auto-generation approach enables Box API additions within days, ensuring you can leverage the most up-to-date features without delay.

<Update label="2025-09-17">
  ## Box SDKs v10

  Introducing Box SDKs `v10`, a major release designed to elevate your developer experience and streamline integration with Box Content Cloud. Currently available as a separate branch for each SDK, `v10` will ultimately become the main branch.

  What's new in `v10`:

  * Full API support — Complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem, giving you access to all the latest features and functionalities to build feature-rich applications.
  * Rapid API updates — Our new auto-generation approach enables Box API additions within days, ensuring that you can leverage the most up-to-date features without delay.
  * Embedded documentation — All objects and parameters are documented directly in the SDK source code, keeping essential information in one place.
  * Enhanced convenience methods — New methods for authentication, chunk uploads, automatic retries, retry strategy, and more.

  This version includes the Box Next Generation SDK artifact, previously developed in parallel to Box core SDKs. To facilitate migration and provide access to the newest features, we'll soon release an additional major version containing both artifacts.
  No immediate action required — If you're using the current SDK version, your existing code will continue to work without changes. However, migrating to `v10` includes breaking changes. For more information and migration guides, see the [SDK versioning strategy document][versioning]. Follow the developer changelog for future updates.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][2] for any help needed.

<Update label="2025-09-17">
  ## Box Next Generation SDK deprecation

  As of September 17, 2025 Box Next Generation SDKs are no longer supported as separate artifacts. Don’t worry, your existing code will continue to work without changes. You can still use your applications based on Box Next Generation SDKs with no impact, but you won't receive new features, updates, or bug fixes.

  In keeping with industry best practices, we are consolidating the Box Next Generation SDKs and Box core SDKs into a single package for each programming language. This makes migration efforts much easier and allows seamless addition of new capabilities to existing applications still powered by Box core SDKs, which were maintained manually.

  All future development, including new features and updates for the Next Generation SDKs, will be delivered through Box core SDKs starting with version `v10`. Currently, `v10` is available as a separate branch.

  For more information and migration guides, see the [SDK versioning strategy document][versioning]. Follow the developer changelog for future updates.

  ## Bulk delete external users

  You can now [bulk delete][1] up to 100 external user accounts through the public API.

  This job runs in the background, and sends a completion report when it's finished.

  The report contains details identifying which user deletions succeeded and which failed.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][2] for any help needed.

     * Copy hub
     * Update hub information by ID
     * Delete hub
     * List all hubs
     * List all hubs for requesting enterprise
     * Get hub information by ID

  2. [Hub Collaborations][2]
     * Create hub collaboration
     * Update hub collaboration
     * Remove hub collaboration
     * Get hub collaborations
     * Get hub collaboration by collaboration ID

  ## Enhanced extract agent

  Today we introduced the new enhanced extract agent powered by Gemini 2.5 Pro. It employs chain-of-thought
  processing to provide the best answer, but also to tell the developer the reason it believes this answer is the correct one.

  The enhanced extract agent:

  * Offers an improved key-value pair extraction from complex documents with higher accuracy.
  * Effortless access with Box UI: activate the feature with a single click.
  * Transforms unstructured data into meaningful metadata attached to files.
  * Enables faster insights and discovery using the Box Metadata search tool.

  **Admins** can:

  * Control the suggested questions displayed when the user starts interacting with a custom AI agent.
  * See the details of a request and response of a LLM, for example the system prompt, model, custom instructions.
  * Control the parameters of a Box AI image processor in a custom agent. The parameters are necessary to ask a LLM about a specific image.

  ## CrowdStrike integration with Box

  CrowdStrike is an endpoint detection tool integrated with Box to monitor endpoint activity. This means, CrowdStrike monitors devices that connect to Box and your Box organization, analyzing data about the connection and the device to identify potential threat activity.

  The integration with CrowdStrike comes with additional [events in the event stream][1] that can be triggered for an enterprise.

  For example, the `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_DEVICE_DETECTED` event is triggered when a new device is detected by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
  The full list includes the following events:

  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_DEVICE_DETECTED`
  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_NO_BOX_TOOLS`
  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_BOX_TOOLS_OUTDATED`
  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_DRIVE_OUTDATED`
  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_ACCESS_ALLOWED_NO_CROWDSTRIKE_DEVICE`
  * `EDR_CROWDSTRIKE_ACCESS_REVOKED`

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][2] for any help needed.

  ## Metadata extraction with Box AI Platform API now available in Beta

  With its recent addition, Box AI Platform API allows you to extract metadata from the provided input.
  For example you can extract the financial information from an invoice, or patient data from a medical certificate.

  > **Note**: Box AI Platform API is currently a beta feature offered subject to Box’s Main Beta Agreement, and the available capabilities may change. Box AI Platform API is available to all Enterprise Plus customers.

  You have the following options:

  [`POST /2.0/ai_extract`][1] endpoint allows you to extract metadata from the provided file in a freeform way.
  This means you have more freedom in creating the prompt, and the metadata template is not required to run the request.
  [`POST /2.0/ai_extract_structured`][2] endpoint allows you to extract metadata from the provided file using a [metadata template][3] or `fields` structure.

  ## App item associations

  The [app item associations API][1] allows you to check which app items are connected with a specific file or folder, including the app items associated with ancestors of the file or folder.

  An [app item][2] is a content object owned by an application. It can group files and folders together from different paths. That set can be shared through a collaboration.

  An [app item association][3] is a connection between a file or folder and an app item. Associations between a folder and an app item cascade down to all descendants of the folder.

  ## Introducing New Generation Swift SDK

  We are excited to introduce [Box Swift SDK][1], designed to elevate the developer experience and streamline your integration with the Box Content Cloud.

  With the [new generation of Swift SDK][1], you’ll have access to:

  * **Full API Support**: The new generation of Box SDKs empowers developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can now access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box, allowing you to build even more sophisticated and feature-rich applications.
  * **Rapid API Updates**: Say goodbye to waiting for new Box APIs to be incorporated into the SDK. With our new auto-generation development approach, we can now add new Box APIs to the SDK at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.
  * **Embedded Documentation**: We understand that access to information is crucial for developers. With our new approach, we have included comprehensive documentation for all objects and parameters directly in the source code of the SDK. This means you no longer need to look up this information on the developer portal, saving you time and streamlining your development process.
  * **Enhanced Convenience Methods**: Our commitment to enhancing your development experience continues with the introduction of convenience methods. These methods cover various aspects such as authentication, chunk uploads, exponential back-offs, automatic retries, type checkers which help to ensure that you’re using variables correctly, and much more.

  Embrace the new generation of Box SDKs and unlock the full potential of the Box Content Cloud. Start building innovative solutions faster and more efficiently. Happy coding!

  ## PDF.js vulnerability affecting Box Preview SDK

  A `CVE-2024-4367` vulnerability has been identified in the `PDF.js` library used by [Box Preview SDK][1].
  The vulnerability exposes a gap in the `PDF.js` type, checking code that allows for arbitrary JavaScript to run when opened in Preview.

  Since this vulnerability existed in all versions of `PDF.js` that were lower or equal to `4.1.392`, it affects all versions of Preview SDK lower than `2.106.0`.
  To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade the Preview SDK used in your apps to `2.106.0` or higher.

  All customers and application owners who are potentially affected have been notified directly via email.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][2] for any help needed.

  ## Notification suppression for Box Sign

  [Box Sign API][1] allows you to suppress the **default** Box email
  notifications sent during the Box Sign workflow.​​

  Thanks to this feature, you can turn the default notifications
  off to use your own, customized messages and decide on channels
  they will be sent through.

  ***Note**: When you choose to suppress email notifications for Box Sign, your organization assumes responsibility for ensuring the delivery to Signers of all notifications at the appropriate time in the signing process and with the appropriate content, in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to obtaining Signer consent to the delivery methods used, if applicable.*

  ## New Box Sign webhooks

  Along with the notification suppression feature, we introduce three new [webhooks][2] to enhance the customization options for e-signature workflows:

  * `SIGN.REQUEST.SIGNATURE_REQUESTED`
  * `SIGN.REQUEST.SIGNER_SIGNED`
  * `SIGN.REQUEST.ERROR_FINALIZING`

  You can use these webhooks to trigger actions in your own applications or notify your users about events happening in Box Sign.​​

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][3] for any help needed.

<Update label="2024-01-19">
  ## New event parameter for Shield Suspicious Location alert

  Along with the release of Shield Suspicious Location: Automated Response we added `rule_response_action` parameter in the [Shield Alert Event][1] response.
  This parameter is returned in the payload of each Shield Alert Event, but applicable only to **Suspicious Locations** alert event.

  The value of the parameter depends on the **Restrict Target User Access** rule settings in the Admin Console.

  * If active, the value of the parameter will be `true` when the alert is triggered.
  * If inactive, the value of the parameter will be `false` when the alert is triggered.

  For all other Shield Alerts (**Anomalous Download**, **Malicious Content**, **Suspicious Session**), the `rule_response_action` parameter is always `null`.

  For additional information, see [Suspicious Location rule settings][2]

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to our [developer forum][3] for any help needed.

  You can now use [Box Embed][1] to [embed Box Sign
  features][2] in your own website. This way, users
  don't have to leave the website, go to Box Sign

  the process. Instead, Box Embed allows them
  to complete the signing process

  To integrate Box Sign experience within your
  own website, you need the [`iframeable_embed_url`][3]

  ## Updates to Box Embed guide

  With [Box Embed][1] you can embed a Box webapp anywhere in your application. The updated webapp is responsive to any changes. For example, if an integration makes the embedded Box webapp smaller, all the UI components such as buttons and lists will also be resized to still be usable.

  The update also includes a description of the cloud game, a widget which increases security by preventing clickjacking.

  allow users to use proxies beyond basic authentication.

  For both SDKs, we are removing deprecated APIs.

  ## Introducing Shield Information Barrier

  Shield information barrier prevents communication that could lead to conflicts of interest or potential legal issues.
  For example, admins can use information barrier to separate teams working on
  different projects to prevent collaboration on content restricted to specific groups.

  ## Shield Information Barrier API

  Shield information barrier comes along with the new API that you can use to:

  * Create, manage, and list [Shield information barriers][2]
  * Create, update, delete, and list [Shield information barrier segments][3]
  * Create, delete, and list [Shield information barrier segment restrictions][4]
  * Create, delete, and list [Shield information barrier segment members][5]
  * Create and list [Shield information barrier reports][6]

  ## Shield Information Barrier Events

  Setting up the information barrier produces the following events:

  * Events triggered when the user configures the information barrier, for example activates or deactivates the barrier.
  * Events triggered when the user performs restricted actions, for example attempts to move an item to a restricted folder or add a user to a restricted group.

  For a list of all events, see the [Shield information barrier event triggers][7] reference.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][1] for any help needed.

  ## Retention policy API improvements

  Recent changes to the API for retention policies and retention policy assignments allow you to remove retention policy assignments and specify the retention length and type for your policies.

  ## Updates

  * Use the new [`DELETE`][1] endpoint to remove an existing retention policy assignment:

  ```bash theme={null}
  curl -i -X DELETE -L https://api.box.net/2.0/retention_policy_assignments/123456/
      -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' 
  ```

  * Specify the following parameters when [creating][2] or [updating][3] retention policies:

    * `retention_length`: Specifies the duration in days that the retention policy will be active for after being assigned to content.
    * `retention_type`: Specifies if the policy is `modifiable` or `non-modifiable`. This means you can either modify the retention policy in full or in a limited way depending on the need to comply with specific regulatory requirements.

  ## Box Sign API supports setting redirect URLs

  The [Box Sign API][3] now offers new parameters to set up custom redirect URLs
  for users who sign or decline a sign request. This way, when integrating your application
  with Box Sign, you can redirect the signers
  back to your application or display a custom landing page.

  ## Updates

  Box Sign API provides optional parameters to pass in the request body of the [Create Sign Request][4] call:

  * `redirect_url` that redirects the user to a specific page after signing a request
  * `declined_redirect_url` that redirects the user to a specific page after declining a request

  You can define redirect URLs globally for all signers and for specific signers only.
  For details, see the [Create Sign Request][4] guide.

  ## OAuth 2.0 Redirect URL Strict Checking Enabled

  Today, we turned on strict checking for all OAuth 2.0 applications.

  On November 29, 2021, we [announced][oauth-cl] new applications using OAuth 2.0 will require the
  URIs set in the configuration tab of the Developer Console to strictly match the
  one used during redirect.

  This change has now been completed. If your enterprise had applications that were not following this standard,
  you should have received four emails over the past few months describing how to update your applications.

  ## How to solve redirect errors

  If you did not receive the email or missed the communication, below you will find the steps to mitigate any issues.

  1. You can change the redirect URL in the Box Developer Console configuration tab for your application. If the URLs are
     static, then you can update the Developer console to add multiple URLs. If the URLs are dynamic, then update your
     application to use a static URL or use the state parameter.
  2. You can change the redirect URL used in your application code to strictly match the URL in the developer console.

  For option #1, please use these steps:

  * Login to Box as the application owner and navigate to the Box Developer Console
  * Click on the application and navigate to the configuration tab
  * Scroll down to the "OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI" section
  * Update the current URL listed

  For option #2, please modify your application code to replace the impacted used URLs to strictly match the URL in the Developer Console.

  ## Updates

  * Redirect URIs now force strict checking to match the URI passed in and URIs configured in the OAuth 2.0 application configuration

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to

  ## New Endpoints to Manage User Avatars

  Starting today, the User Avatar APIs supports adding, updating, and deleting user avatars.

  To create or update a user avatar, call the [`POST /users-id-avatar`][2] endpoint. Remember to include the path to the file you want to upload. If an avatar already exists, it will be replaced with the new photo uploaded.

  ```sh theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST -L https://api.box.net/2.0/users/userID/avatar

  ## New Editable Shared Links API

  Now, developers can make files editable via shared links using the API.

  ## Documentation Updates

  * Added a new `can_edit` value to the `permissions` object for the [file][3], [folder][2], and [web link][5] resources
  * Added a new `shared_link_permission_options` field to the [`file--full`][4] resource
  * Added a [shared link section for web links][6] in the reference documentation
  * Added a [permissions page][7] to the shared links guide documentation
  * Combined the [update and add shared link][8] guide page since they utilize the same PUT endpoint
  * Updated code snippets across several shared link pages

  ## Enhancement Details

  * Instead of having to collaborate a user into a file to give edit access, you can set the `shared_link.permissions.can_edit` field to `true`.
  * The `can_edit` field will be returned for all shared link objects on files, folders, and web links; however, you can only set it to true for a file.
  * Our SDK libraries will gain this feature in the coming quarters.
  * If an admin has turned off editable shared links in the admin console, you will not be able to use this feature.

  ## Improvements In Platform Apps Approval Flow

  Today we added further improvements to the platform apps approval flow. As a result, you can now use a new **Enablement** tab in Developer Console to directly request a Box Admin to enable OAuth 2.0 platform apps.

  Additionally, Box Admins can use Platform Apps Manager to view and enable platform apps in Admin Console.

  ## Updates

  * **Enablement** tab was added for OAuth 2.0 platform apps.
  * Information on enabling OAuth 2.0 platform applications has been added to the [platform app approval][2] guide page.

  ## Notice of behavior change for collaboration events on the changes stream

  Starting today, we will begin rolling out changes to the behavior of
  collaboration events when an application consumes those events from our
  [event API endpoints][event-apis].

  This change will only affect `COLLAB_INVITE_COLLABORATOR`,
  `COLLAB_ADD_COLLABORATOR`, `COLLAB_ROLE_CHANGE`, and
  `COLLAB_REMOVE_COLLABORATOR` [user events][user-events]
  with the query parameter `stream_type` set to `changes`.
  This will not affect existing [enterprise events][enterprise-events].
  The new behavior will not cause downtime within existing applications
  or require any application changes to prevent uptime disruptions.

  ## Change overview

  Previously, events of type `COLLAB_INVITE_COLLABORATOR`,
  `COLLAB_ADD_COLLABORATOR`, `COLLAB_ROLE_CHANGE`, and
  `COLLAB_REMOVE_COLLABORATOR` created notifications
  for the acted upon users that were listening to the `changes` stream.
  Owners of the collaborated item would not receive these events unless
  they were listening to the `all` stream as well.

  We are cleaning up this discrepancy by establishing parity
  between the `all` and `changes` streams. With this new behavior,
  notifications of a collaboration will be created for the content owner
  on the `changes` stream as well. Collaboration owners will now see an
  additional event that matches what they see on the `all` stream.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][forum] for any help needed.

  ## Announcing SDK Supported Versions

  Starting July 30 2022, only the current **major** version of a SDK will be supported. New features,
  functionality, bug fixes, and security updates will only be added to the
  current **major** version.

  A current release is on the leading edge of our SDK development, and is intended for customers who are in active development and want the latest and greatest features.
  Instead of stating a release date for a new feature, we set a fixed minor or patch release cadence of maximum 2-3 months (while we may release more often). At the same
  time, there is no schedule for major or breaking release. Instead, we will communicate one quarter in advance the upcoming breaking change to allow customers to plan for
  the upgrade. We always recommend that all users run the latest available minor release for whatever major version is in use. We highly recommend upgrading to the latest
  SDK major release at the earliest convenient time and before the EOL date.

  We use a modified version of [Semantic Versioning][2] for all changes. See
  [version strategy][3] for details.

  ## Supported version for each SDK

  Below find links to the charts of supported versions for all SDKs.

  * [Python][4]
  * [.NET][5]
  * [Java][6]
  * [node][7]

  ## OAuth 2.0 Redirect URL Updates

  Today, we released a new feature to the Box Developer Console, allowing developers to add multiple redirect URIs for an OAuth 2.0 application.

  Starting November 29, 2021, new applications using OAuth 2.0 will require the
  URIs set in the configuration tab of the Developer Console to strictly match the
  one used during redirect. In addition, both new and existing applications, will
  gain the ability to add multiple redirect URIs.

  For existing applications, the deadline to make changes to this URL and avoid service
  disruption is May 13, 2022.

  ## Updates

  * The Box Developer Console OAuth 2.0 application configuration section has a new button to add multiple redirect URIs
  * Redirect URIs now force strict checking to match the URI passed in and URIs configured in the OAuth 2.0 application configuration
  * Updated the `redirect_uri` query parameter wording on the [`GET /authorize`][url-redirect] endpoint page
  * Updated the OAuth 2.0 [setup][oauth-setup], [with SDK][oauth-sdk], and [without SDK][oauth-nosdk] guide pages

  ## New Shield Download Event

  Today, we released a new `event_type` to the [Enterprise Event][events] stream
  for downloads that are restricted based on a Shield access policy.

  If an admin creates a shield access policy that restricts downloads and an
  end user is blocked from downloading a file, an event is produced
  within the [enterprise event][events] stream. Events will also be generated
  when a user is viewing a folder with a file restricted from download, viewing a
  file in preview that is restricted from download, and when a user requests to
  download a file through the API that is restricted from download. These events
  follow the standard event object schema and the `event_type` value set
  to `SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED`.

  ## Updates

  * Added a [new section][new-event] to the Smart Access event trigger documentation
  * Added `SHIELD_DOWNLOAD_BLOCKED` to the [enterprise event list][event-list]

  ## New Event Stream Live Monitoring stream\_type

  Today, we released a new `stream_type` for the [`GET /events`][event-api]
  API called `admin_logs_streaming`. This allows for near real time monitoring of
  events after they happen in Box.

  We recommend that applications subscribing to live events through `admin_logs`
  migrate to `admin_logs_streaming` for the lowest and most consistent latency.
  This `stream_type` requires the user to be an enterprise admin or co-admin with
  the permission to **Run new reports and access existing reports**.

  ## Updates

  We have made several documentation updates to help you learn about the new option:

  * Completely reorganized the [events][event-guide] guide section for
    easier understanding, including adding additional information to all pages
    in the various sections
  * Updated the OpenAPI specification for the [`GET /events`][event-api] endpoint
    to include the new `stream_type` option of `admin_logs_streaming`
  * Added a new how to migrate [`stream_type` page][migration] with steps
    on switching

  ## New enhancements to retention APIs

  Two new API endpoints have been introduced to get files and file versions that
  are under retention for a given retention policy assignment. These APIs are
  part of the [retention policy][retention-policies] suite of APIs. They are
  intended to replace the separate [file][file] and [file version][file-version]
  retention endpoints, which will soon be deprecated from the Box API. The date
  of the deprecation will be announced at a later date.

  When a retention policy is applied via a retention policy assignment, folders
  are selected for which the retention policy should be applied. The files and
  file versions within those folders will be the content that is returned from
  calling these new endpoints.

  ## Features

  This release has introduced the following new content and features.

  * [Get files under retention][files-retention]: Returns a list of files under
    retention that are associated with the specified retention policy assignment.
  * [Get file versions under retention][file-versions-retention]: Returns a list
    of file versions under retention that are associated with the specified
    retention policy assignment.
  * Added an editable `description` field to the
    [retention policy][retention-policy] resource.
  * Added a non-writable `start_field_date` to the
    [retention policy assignment][retention-policy-assignment]
    resource. This field is the metadata field's key id. The value can also be
    `upload_date` if the `assigned_to` type is not `metadata_template` or a date
    field has not been selected.

  ## Notice of behavior change for item preview events

  Starting today, we will begin rolling out changes to the behavior
  of item preview events when an application consumes those events from our
  [event API endpoints][event-apis].

  This change will only affect the
  `ITEM_PREVIEW` [user event][user-events] and will not affect existing
  [enterprise events][enterprise-events]. The new behavior will not cause
  downtime within existing applications or require any application changes to
  prevent uptime disruptions.

  ## Change overview

  Within the previous behavior when events were consumed, previewed item
  events were surfaced through the `ITEM_PREVIEW` event type for the owner of
  the content as well as any contributors assigned to the content. This meant
  that if a file with 2000 collaborators on it was previewed, the file owner
  plus all 2000 collaborators would have an event created stating that the file
  was previewed.

  With the new behavior, notification of an item being previewed will only be
  created for the owner of the content and will not be produced for
  collaborators. This will help to reduce the noise of the event stream while
  preserving the ability to see when items are previewed as a content owner.

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][forum] for any help needed.

  ## Upcoming change to JWT format

  On August 4th, 2021, as part of our continued infrastructure upgrades, we will
  begin deployment of a change that may affect custom applications leveraging
  Server Authentication with JSON Web Tokens (JWT).

  Potential impact will require additional verification from customers who do not
  use an official [Box SDK][box-sdks] and are storing tokens in a database.

  All customers and application owners who are potentially impacted have been
  notified directly via email.

  ## Change overview

  This change may only impact applications leveraging Server Authentication with
  JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Tokens will continue to return as a string as stated in
  our [documentation][tokendoc]. However, the format will be longer and contain

  special characters.

  An example of a token returned today: `NXWd9KDPVofXQKZJlQjICCWFHEmuOihs`.

  After this change, tokens will return in the following format:

  `1!yxxhRreQCKcEbC_ZfYvPudyLe7Ed36gIQcqqZo2pfaVZyxNBkQjoHk0fgA1iTY3_uwXgif-hg-gne
    aUdLRmGCb2He6tyQ_rA8aV-CllTyBbd9Tx-wU6Fnt4Df9XjzBAk8Dj7RYc1Ew_fcY2vfycpCvjwHLgql

    fbwYl2CmHdXAKbZKtXTHjzB0CZixZriT_wRUpsN8GTrrxGbx9ukgzJWRJwelGZ_1Yx7vP4Zkx3OfR5Be
    -Tso7xdHd9rW0FXsu024U7dMNuQ6kpP1_kJI2Y`.

  Please note that this is not a new format to Box, as this format is currently
  returned when [downscoping tokens][downscope].

  ## Verifying application impact

  1. Navigate to **Admin Console** > **Apps** Tab > **Custom Apps**.
  2. Click **View** for each app row listed
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the app details page and verify the selected
     authentication method. Affected apps will say
     **Server Authentication with JSON Web Tokens**.

  For each application identified above, you will need to determine:

  1. Is it using an official [Box SDK][box-sdks]? If so, no further action is
     required to prepare for this change. While it is always best practice to be
     on the latest version, no minimum versions are required for compatibility.

  2) If an official SDK is not used, are tokens stored in a database? If so, you
     will need to preform additional verification that the database can handle both
     the new length and special characters.

  ## Testing before release

  If you have identified an application that leverages Server Authentication with
  JWT and stores tokens in a database, you will want to preform the test below
  before August 4th.

  As mentioned above, the new format for tokens is currently used when
  [downscoping tokens][downscope]. Therefore, preform the following steps to
  assess impact:

  1. Generate an Access Token for the application

  2) [Downscope][downscope] the token from step 1

  3. Attempt to store the downscoped token in your database

  If you are successfully able to store the token in the database no further
  action is necessary to prepare for this change.

  If you are unable to store the token, your database must be updated to support
  the additional length and special characters.

  ## Release of Box Sign API

  Today, July 26th, 2021, beings the roll out of Box Sign! Programmatically
  harness the full functionality of the [Box Sign web app experience][webapp] by
  leveraging our newest API endpoints to create, list, resend, and cancel Box Sign
  requests.

  While Box Sign does not need to be enabled by an Admin to use its API endpoints,
  it does need to be rolled out to your enterprise. We will notify Admins as it
  becomes available for their Box instance.

  At a minimum, creating a Box Sign request requires selecting a file for
  signature, a destination folder for the signed document/[signing log][log], and
  designating signers. At this time, only one file can be signed per request.

  ```curl theme={null}
  curl -i -X PUT "https://api.box.com/2.0/sign_requests" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
       -d '{
         "signers": [
            {    
              "role": "signer",
              "email": "example_email@box.com"
            }
          ],
         "source_files": [
            {
              "type": "file",
              "id": "123456789"

  ## Box Java SDK v2.55.0 released

  NOTE: Due to the benign nature of the "breaking change" below, we decided NOT to increment the major version for this release.  There should be no customer impact due to this change.

  ### Breaking Changes

  * Update execute metadata query to match API response ([#890][1])
    * NOTE: This change removes a method without deprecating it.  It was not possible to use the method correctly at all, because the underlying service no longer supported it.

  ### New Features and Enhancements

  * Remove or deprecate insensitive language (\[[#889][2]])([https://github.com/box/box-java-sdk/pull/889](https://github.com/box/box-java-sdk/pull/889))
  * Add support for `is_external_collab_restricted` parameter for User ([#896][3])
  * Add configurable permissions support for `GroupMembership` ([#897][4])
  * Add `SHIELD_JUSTIFICATION_APPROVAL` event type ([#898][5])
  * Add ability to get files under retention for assignment and file versions under retention for assignment ([#899][6])
  * Add `TASK_UPDATE`, `FILE_VERSION_RESTORE` and `ADVANCED_FOLDER_SETTINGS_UPDATE` event types ([#902][7])
  * Add Box Sign API support ([#904][8])

  ### Bug Fixes

  * Add setters for `BoxLegalHoldPolicy` ([#885][9])
  * Add setters for `BoxTaskAssignment` ([#886][10])
  * Add setters for Group Membership and Web Links ([#887][11])
  * Add setters for Webhooks ([#888][12])
  * Deprecate `BoxFile.getThumbnail` in favor of `BoxFile.getRepresentationContent` ([#891][13])

  ## New Manual Start Workflow Endpoints

  Two new API endpoints have been introduced for
  [Box Relay](https://www.box.com/collaboration/relay-workflow)

  * Get workflows configured on a folder
  * Start a manual start flow within a workflow for file(s)

  The new endpoints do not allow you to update any information within the
  workflows. Also, the post endpoint can only start flows with a `trigger_type`
  of `WORKFLOW_MANUAL_START`. There is an optional `outcome_parametes` object
  within the post request body. If your flow is configured to accept selections
  at start time, you will need to send in these as a parameter. A guide with all
  the options you can send in will be made available soon.

  ## Features

  This release has introduced the following new content and features.

  * New [workflow](/reference/workflows-resources#workflow) resource
  * New [GET](/reference/get-workflows) workflows endpoint
  * New [POST](/reference/post-workflows-id-start) start manual workflow endpoint

  ## Notice of behavior change for item open events

  Starting today, we will begin rolling out changes to the behavior
  of `ITEM_OPEN` events when an application consumes those events from our
  [event API endpoint][event-apis].

  This change will only affect the `ITEM_OPEN` [enterprise event][user-events].
  The new behavior will not cause downtime within existing applications or
  require any application changes to prevent uptime disruptions.

  ## Change overview

  Within the previous behavior when events were consumed, opened item events were
  surfaced through the `ITEM_OPEN` event type for the owner of the content as
  well as any contributors assigned to the content. This meant that if a file with
  2000 collaborators on it was opened, say on Drive, the file owner plus all
  2000 collaborators would have an event created stating that the file was opened.

  With the new behavior, notification of an item being opened will only be created
  for the owner of the content and will not be produced for collaborators. This
  will help to reduce the noise of the event stream while preserving the ability
  to see when items are opened as a content owner.

  ## Where to get support

  Should you have any issues or need further guidance, please post a request to
  our [developer forum][forum] for any help needed.

  ## New Metadata Query Indices Endpoint

  A new API endpoint has been introduced to get a list of metadata query indices
  for a given template and scope.

  Metadata queries provide a way to find files and folders by searching for the
  metadata attached to them.

  When performing metadata queries on 10,000 or more files or folders,
  non-performant queries may produce an `HTTP 403` error.
  Creating a search index delivers the ability to run
  these queries at scale to bypass this error state, and are automatically applied
  during the querying process.

  The new endpoint permits the lookup of these created search indices.

  ## Features

  This release has introduced the following new content and features.

  * New API endpoint to get a list of metadata query
    indices by scope and template.
  * New metadata query index [response object][mdq-index-response].
  * New metadata query indices [response object][mdq-indices-response].

  following:

  * `COLLECTION_CREATE`: A collection was created
  * `COLLECTION_DELETE`: A collection was deleted
  * `COLLECTION_UPDATE`: A collection was updated
  * `COLLECTION_ITEM_CREATE`: An item was added to a collection

  ## Box API response header changes that may impact your applications

  On May 10th, 2021, as part of our continued infrastructure upgrade, Box's API
  response headers will standardize to always return in a case-insensitive
  manner, in line with industry best practices and our API documentation.

  This change has the following potential impact:

  * [Salesforce SDK `v1`][salesforce-sdk-v1] users will be impacted and will need
    to upgrade to a recent SDK version. Not doing so will cause your Box
    Salesforce integration to cease functioning after May 10th, 2021.
  * Box API consumers who do not use one of the [Box SDKs][box-sdks] may be
    impacted and will need to verify header usage through their code. Depending on
    your header usage, not making adjustments may cause disruptions in your
    Box API integration.

  All customers and application admins who are potentially impacted have been
  notified directly via email.

  ## Change overview

  Applications that are using the return headers described above, such as
  `location` and `retry-after`, will need to verify that their applications are
  checking for these headers in a case-insensitive fashion. Over the past 12
  months Box has been upgrading its networking and observability infrastructure.
  These upgrades aim to improve reliability and availability of Box's products
  for our customers. This specific change allows Box to deploy an updated service
  proxy, enabling Box to better monitor service traffic, quickly find
  problem areas, and tune application performance.

  ## API Consumers: Verifying application impact

  Verifying whether your application(s) will be impacted will require a review of
  your code. If you are solely using one of the official Box SDKs to connect to
  Box APIs, you will not be impacted as the SDKs handle response headers in a
  case-insensitive manner.

  You may verify whether you are impacted with the following steps:

  * Locate the code in your application which handles the responses from Box API
    requests. If you are not extracting the response headers from these responses,
    you are not impacted.
  * If you are extracting those response headers, you may be impacted if you are
    expecting those headers in a case-sensitive fashion.

  For instance, if you are expecting the `Location` header to be returned with a
  starting capital `L`, a direct string comparison with a specific case, then
  your code will need to be altered to prevent it from breaking after the change
  is made.

  ## API Consumers: How to make the change

  To update the impacted application(s), ensure that you are checking these
  response headers in a case-insensitive manner. Specifically, your code should
  be built in a defensive way to ensure that if a header, such as `Location`, is
  sent with an initial capital `L` or a lowercase `l`, it'll be handled in the
  same way. For example, forcing all headers to lowercase before checking, or
  using a case-insensitive regex string check, are two viable methods for
  handling this process.

  ## Salesforce SDK `v1` users: Verifying application impact

  If you are unsure whether you are using `v1.0` of the Box Salesforce SDK, go to
  the application code location where you have stored the Box Salesforce SDK and
  do the following:

  Load the following Salesforce SDK file: `src/classes/BoxApiRequest.cls`

  Look for the following lines ([should be lines 6-7][salesforce-code]):

  ```apex theme={null}
  public final static String HEADER_LOCATION_LOWER_CASE = 'location';
  public final static String HEADER_LOCATION_CAPITALIZED = 'Location';
  ```

  If those lines are present then you are using `v1.1.0` or later of the
  Salesforce SDK, which is not impacted and no changes are needed. If those lines
  are not present then you are using `v1.0` of the Salesforce SDK, which will be
  impacted and will need to be updated.

  ## Salesforce SDK `v1` users: How to make the change

  To update the impacted application(s), you will need to update the version of
  the Salesforce SDK that you are using. It is recommended that you upgrade to
  the [most recent version][salesforce-sdk] of the SDK, but anything from
  [`v1.1.0` or later][salesforce-sdk-releases] will be adequate to ensure that
  there is no impact to your application(s).

  ## Metadata Query index changes

  When making file / folder [metadata query][mdq] requests, a
  search index needs to be created for queries where more than
  10,000 files / folders are being searched.

  To improve the efficiency and simplicity of this process, we have changed the
  way in which indexes are used by removing the explicit requirement to supply an
  index through the `use_index` key in a metadata query API request.

  There is no impact to existing applications that are currently supplying an
  index through the `use_index` key. The supplied index will be ignored in
  the request and the most efficient index will be automatically applied.

  ## Previous Indexing Process

  The following was the previous process for creating and using an index for a
  metadata query request involving 10,000+ files / folders in the search. This is
  the process being replaced.

  * Contact the metadata query team to request an index.
  * The metadata query team would create the index and supply back the name of
    the newly created index.
  * When making metadata query requests this index name was
    supplied as the value for the `use_index` key in the API request.

  ## New Indexing Process

  The following is the new process for creating and using an index.

  * Contact the metadata query team to request an index.

  The `use_index` key within the metadata query API request has been removed.
  Instead, the most efficient query will be automatically applied during the
  search process.

  Indexes that are currently supplied in the `use_index` key will be ignored, and
  instead the most efficient index will be used.

  Application owners may safely remove the `use_index` key and value from their
  metadata query requests at their discretion.

  ## Developer Console Updates

  A new **Authorization** tab is now available in the Developer Console. In
  addition, clarifying UI changes were made to the **Application Access** and
  **Scope** settings within the **Configuration** tab to ease these decisions.
  These changes do not impact the functionality of the settings.

  Now, developers will navigate to the  **Authorization** tab to submit the
  application directly to their Box Admin for authorization approval.

  As for the **Configuration** tab, helpful tips were added to the JWT
  **Application Access** settings to facilitate a clear decision
  between **App Only Access** or **App Access + Enterprise Access**.
  The **Scope** section is now grouped by action type: content, administrative,
  and developer.

  * **App Approval Process**: [Guide](/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval)
  * **Scopes**: [Guide](/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes)

  ## Blank OAuth 2 redirect URI change

  On September 28th, 2020 we announced upcoming changes to our
  [security requirements for OAuth 2 app redirect URIs][oauth2-changelog-notice].
  As of today, applications that use a blank redirect URI will no longer be
  permitted, and will begin to produce an error stating `redirect_uri missing`
  when attempting to redirect the user, stating that there is a mismatched URI.

  Impacted applications will have received multiple emails to the developer email
  address associated with the application and account, and are part of a small
  subset of applications that were grandfathered in to allow the functionality to
  persist.

  New applications, or any OAuth 2 applications that have a redirect URI
  specified are not impacted.

  ## How to update your OAuth 2 app redirect URI

  If your OAuth 2 application has started to produce an error during the redirect
  phase, you may be impacted by this change. To update your application(s),
  use the following steps:

  * Go to the
    [Box developer console][dev-console] as the
    user who owns the application(s).
  * From the top navigation, click on **Configuration**.
  * Scroll down to the **OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI** section. 
  * For any application where this URI is blank, add the URI that is being used
    in the application code when redirecting the user back to your application
    from the Box auth step,
    [as is described in this guide](/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/#2-redirect-user).

  ## New type field in search API responses

  A new field, `type`, has been introduced in the
  [search result response object][search_result_shared_link] for returned shared
  link items.

  This response object format is only returned when making calls to the
  [content search][search_content] endpoint with the
  `include_recent_shared_links` query parameter set to `true`.

  There is no impact to existing applications that are currently consuming this
  response object.

  ## Updates

  Prior to this release, the return object for shared link search results
  included two objects:

  * `accessible_via_shared_link`: The shared link which the item is accessible
    from.
  * `item`: The file, folder, or web link that matched the search query.

  ```js theme={null}
  {
    "accessible_via_shared_link": "https://www.box.com/s/vfejh7y01sb263wjtgfe",
    "item": {
      ...
    }
  }
  ```

  This update introduces the new `type` field, which is a string that will always
  be set to `search_result`.

  ```js theme={null}
  {
    "type": "search_result",
    "accessible_via_shared_link": "https://www.box.com/s/vfejh7y01sb263wjtgfe",
    "item": {
      ...

  }
  ```

  ## Announcing Client Credentials Grant authentication

  A new method for authenticating your JWT applications is now released.
  This new method, Client Credentials Grant, does not impact existing applications
  but offers an easier way to authenticate for new apps. Prior to today, we
  required a public/private key pair and assertion to verify an application’s
  identity and retrieve an Access Token. Now, you can request a token using only
  your client ID and client secret.

  ```cURL theme={null}
  curl --location --request POST ‘https://api.box.com/oauth2/token’ \
  --header ‘Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded’ \
  --data-urlencode ‘client_id=<client_id>’ \

  ## Search API adds support for Shared Links

  The [Search API][endpoint] now supports returning files,
  folders and web links that the user has recently accessed
  through a shared link.

  Shared items can be requested by calling the
  [`GET /search`][endpoint] API with the new
  `include_recent_shared_links` query parameter set to `true`.

  ```sh theme={null}
  curl -i -X GET https://api.box.com/2.0/search?query=Contract&include_recent_shared_link=true
  ```

  By default, the API won't return any shared items if this
  query parameter is not provided or not set to true.

  ## Change in response format

  When `include_recent_shared_links` is set to `true`, the
  response has slightly changed to allow for the additional
  information to be returned. Rather than returning a direct list
  of files, folders, and web links the API now returns a list of
  objects containing an `item` and an `accessible_via_shared_link`
  property.

  <Tabs>
    <Tab title="With shared link results">
      ```json theme={null}
      {
        "entries": [
          {

              "id": 12345,

      }
      ```

  This change in response format should not impact any existing applications
  as it only applies to any API call made with the new query parameter.

  ## New File Request APIs available

  A new collection of APIs are now available that allows
  developers to create and update File Requests. We've
  updated the [reference documentation][copy] and added
  [new guides][guides] to help you manage your file requests.

  To create a copy of an existing file request, all you need is
  the unique ID of an existing file request, and the ID of the
  folder to apply the new request to.

  ```curl theme={null}
  curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/file_requests/42037322/copy" \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \

         "folder": {
           "id": "2233212"
         }
       }'
  ```

  Additional APIs are available that allow a developer to get more details
  about a file request, update a file request, and delete a file request.
  For more details, please check out the developer documentation.

  * **Create a template file request**: [Guide][g_template]

  ## Change to OAuth 2 app redirect URI requirements

  On October 29th, 2020, Box will begin employing stricter requirements for
  redirect URIs used within new and existing
  [OAuth 2](/guides/authentication/oauth2/)-based Box integrations that may affect
  your application.

  Existing application owners that currently use a blank redirect URI in their
  application configuration, as
  [described here](/guides/authentication/oauth2/oauth2-setup/#redirect-uri), will
  need to update the redirect URI to match the redirect used within the code
  redirect step,
  [described here](/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/#2-redirect-user).

  On October 29th, 2020, applications that are still configured with a blank URI
  will begin returning an error when the user is redirected back to your
  application if URI adjustments aren't made.

  All impacted application owners and collaborators have been notified via
  the email address associated with their developer account.

  ## How to validate and make the change

  To validate your redirect URI and update your application(s) if they are
  affected, take the following steps:

  * Go to the
    [Box developer console](https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console) as the
    user who owns the application(s).
  * For each **Custom App** using **OAuth 2** (client-side authentication) click
    on the application to open it.
  * From the left navigation, click on **Configuration**.
  * Scroll down to the **OAuth 2.0 Redirect URI** section. 
  * For any application where this URI is blank, add the URI that is being used
    in the application code when redirecting the user back to your application
    from the Box auth step,
    [as is described in this guide](/guides/authentication/oauth2/with-sdk/#2-redirect-user).

  ## New multiSelect metadata support in search API

  Starting today, the [Search API][search] adds support for matching items
  by multiple values of a [`multiSelect` metadata field][multi_select]. Before this
  change, it was not possible to find items by the value of a `multiSelect` field.

  To perform a search for items where a metadata field matches
  multiple values, the `mdfilters` parameter now supports a list of values.

  ```curl theme={null}
  curl -G 'https://api.box.com/2.0/search' \
       -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>' \
       -d 'mdfilters=[{"scope":"enterprise_12345","templateKey":"contractInfo","filters":{"products":["shield","platform")]}}]'
  ```

  In this example, the `mdfilters` query parameter contains one filter with a
  `scope`, a `templateKey`, and a set of `filters`. Here is the same filter
  in a more readable format.

  ```json theme={null}
  [
    {
      "scope": "enterprise_12345",
      "templateKey": "contractInfo",
      "filters": {
        "products": [
          "shield",
          "platform"
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
  ```

  What is new here is that the `products` filter now performs a match on multiple
  values, only returning files and folders for which the template has a `products`
  value of either `shield` or `platform`. The value of the field can contain
  multiple values and only match on one of the values specified in the filter.
  For example `["shield"), translate("governance"]` will be a match for the filter
  `["shield"), translate("platform"]` as `shield` is included in the filter.

  ## Changes to Metadata Query API syntax

  The [Metadata Query API][g_mdq_api] has been updated to **require explicitly
  defined response fields**.

  [g_mdq_api]: /guides/metadata/queries

  ```curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
        -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" '
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
        -d '{
          "from": "enterprise_123456.customerInfo",
          "query": "tav >= :value",
          "query_params": {
            "value": 200000
          },
          "fields": [

         ],
          "ancestor_folder_id": "0"
        }'
  ```

  Additionally, **the response format now returns a list of items** rather
  than a list of query results. Any metadata is now nested within the item,
  rather than listed side-by-side with the item. Only fields specified in the
  `field` array - as well as any base fields - are returned in the response.

  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "entries": [{
      "id": "394384323",
      "type": "file",
      "etag": 1,
      "name": "Contract.pdf",
      "metadata": {
        "enterprise_123456": {
          "customerInfo": {
            "$parent": "folder_12345,",
            "$scope": "enterprise_123456",

          }

  }
  ```

  ## Legacy syntax

  For reference, the API would previously return all standard fields for an item
  as well as the matched metadata.

  ```curl theme={null}
  curl -X POST https://api.box.com/2.0/metadata_queries/execute_read \
        -H 'Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" '
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json'
        -d '{
          "from": "enterprise_123456.customerInfo",
          "query": "tav >= :value",
          "query_params": {
            "value": 200000
          },
          "ancestor_folder_id": "0"
        }'
  ```

  The response body previously returned the items as a list of entries, each
  containing an `item` and a `metadata` instance.

  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "entries":[
      {
        "item":{
          "type":"file",
          "id":"394384323",
          "name": "Contract.pdf",
          "file_version":{
            "type":"file_version",
            "id":"33482348",
            "sha1":"69888bb1bff455d1b2f8afea75ed1ff0b4879bf6"
          },
          ...
        },
        "metadata":{
          "enterprise_123456":{
            "customerInfo":{
              "tav": 1000000,
              "$id": "01234500-12f1-1234-aa12-b1d234cb567e",
              "$parent": "folder_12345,",
              "$scope": "enterprise_123456",
              "$template": "customerInfo",
              "$type": "customerInfo-6bcba49f-ca6d-4d2a-a758-57fe6edf44d0",
              "$typeVersion": 2,
              "$version": 1,
              "$canEdit": true
            }
          }
        }
      },
      ...
    ],
    "limit": 20,
    "next_marker":"AAAAAmVYB1FWec8GH6yWu2nwmanfMh07IyYInaa7DZDYjgO1H4KoLW29vPlLY173OKsci6h6xGh61gG73gnaxoS+o0BbI1/h6le6cikjlupVhASwJ2Cj0tOD9wlnrUMHHw3/ISf+uuACzrOMhN6d5fYrbidPzS6MdhJOejuYlvsg4tcBYzjauP3+VU51p77HFAIuObnJT0ff"
  }
  ```

  This legacy syntax **will still be available for any existing Metadata Query API
  users only**. The legacy syntax will be turned off When all existing customers
  have been migrated over to the new syntax.

  ## Change to enterprise events for tasks

  Starting today, the [enterprise event stream](/guides/events/enterprise-events/for-enterprise/) will
  begin producing new task and task assignment events, and some existing task
  events will return additional fields.

  ## New events

  * A new `TASK_UPDATE` event is triggered when a task is updated
  * A new `TASK_ASSIGNMENT_DELETE` event is triggered when a task is unassigned
    from a user

  ## Updated events

  ### Changes to `TASK_CREATE`

  When a task is created, the event now includes the task's ID (`task.id`), the ID
  of the user who created the task (`task.created_by.id`), the task's description
  (`task.message`), and the optional due date of the task (`task.due_date`)
  within the `additional_details` object.

  ```json theme={null}
  "additional_details": {
    "task": {
      "id": "1234567",
      "due_at": "2020-07-06T10:49:44-07:00",
      "message": "task description",
      "created_by": {
        "id": 123456,
        "login": "email@example.com"
      },
      ...
    }
  }
  ```

  ### Changes to `TASK_ASSIGNMENT_CREATE` and `TASK_ASSIGNMENT_UPDATE`

  When a task assignment is created or updated, the event now includes the task's
  ID (`task.id`), the ID of the assigned user (`task_assignment.assigned_to.id`)
  and their login (`task_assignment.assigned_to.login`), the task's description
  (`task.message`), and the optional due date of the task (`task.due_date`) within
  the `additional_details` object.

  ```json theme={null}
  "additional_details": {
    "task": {
      "id": "1234567",
      "created_by": {
        "id": 12345,
        "login": "email@example.com"
      }
    },
    "task_assignment": {
      "assigned_to": {

<Update label="2020-03-30">
  ## Potential impactful changes to format of Metadata date fields

  As part of ongoing improvements to our Metadata infrastructure we will be
  rolling out three potential impactful changes to the format of `date` fields in
  metadata templates. These changes make the format our API returns more
  consistent between API calls.

  The first change affects the usage of time zone offsets in dates. Previously,
  the API would inconsistently return dates with and without timezone offsets if a
  date was set to include one. From now on all dates are converted to UTC /
  Zulu-time, removing the timezone offset.

  For example:

  * Assume a date was set to `2020-02-20T12:00:00.000-01:00`
  * Previously the API would return `2020-02-20T12:00:00.000-01:00` (the original
    value) or `2020-02-20T13:00:00.000Z` (the UTC adjusted value)
  * From now on it will always return `2020-02-20T13:00:00.000Z` (the UTC adjusted
    value)

  The second change affects the sub-second precision of dates returned by the
  metadata API. Previously, the API would return values with 0 to 3 digits of
  sub-second precision. From now on Box will always return metadata date-time
  values with millisecond precision.

  For example:

  * Previously the API might return `2020-02-20T12:00:00Z`,
    `2020-02-20T12:00:00.0Z`, `2020-02-20T12:00:00.00Z`or
    `2020-02-20T12:00:00.000Z`
  * From now on it will always return `2020-02-20T12:00:00.000Z`

  The final change affects the usage of the
  [`test`](/guides/metadata/instances/update#test-a-value) operation when updating a
  metadata instance. Previously the test would compare the date-time values using
  the literal string value. After this update they are compared using their UNIX
  timestamp in milliseconds.

  For example:

  * Previously `2020-01-21T19:20:00.123-08:00` would not be equivalent to
    `2020-01-22T03:20:00.123Z`
  * From now on `2020-01-21T19:20:00.123-08:00` is equivalent to
    `2020-01-22T03:20:00.123Z`

  ## How this can affect an application

  Any application that implements `RFC3339`-compliant date-time parsing will not
  need to perform any action as these are all valid `RFC3339` values representing
  the same dates. Any application that does not implement `RFC3339` compliant
  date-time parsing should be updated to do so.

  All official Box SDKs support `RFC3339`-compliant date-time parsing, so any
  application using an up-to-date version of an official Box SDK would not require
  any update.

  ## What do if this affected your application

  Roll-out of this change will be performed gradually over the next few weeks.
  Although the metadata team will be monitoring potential impact, please reach out
  to your customer success manager or our support channels if you find yourself
  impacted.
</Update>

<Update label="2020-03-30">
  ## Change to metadata instance version

  As part of ongoing improvements to our Metadata infrastructure we will be
  rolling out a small change to the [`version`](r:/metadata/#param-\$version) value
  of a metadata Instance.

  Previously, the version number associated with a metadata instance would be
  incremented if a field on the associated metadata template was deleted, or if an
  `enum` field's option was deleted on the associated metadata template.

  Going forward, these changes will not increment the version number of a metadata
  instance.

  This behavior has always been implicit and we recognize that very little value
  can be derived form to the metadata instance version. Therefore we do not expect
  this change to have any impact on any of our customers. Regardless, please reach
  out to your customer success manager or our support channels if you find
  yourself impacted.

  * Add marker based pagination for listing users.
  * Added support for more attribute parameters when uploading new files and new versions of existing files.
  * Combined preflight check and lookup of accelerator URL into a single request for uploads.

  * **`scroll`:** Major version upgrade for scroll-into-view-if-needed.

  * **`i18n`:** Added additional peer dependencies to support `i18n` `FormattedCompMessage` component

  Implement a new component called `FormattedCompMessage`. This translates strings which can contain HTML or other JSX components in a safe way by hiding the contents of those tags from the translators or hackers and substituting the contents from source strings into the translations. Example:

  ```javascript theme={null}
  <FormattedCompMessage id="mystring" description="translator's comment">
     You can <span class="foo">delete</span> <Link to={url}>these files</Link>, or just
    <span id="x" class="unshare">unshare them</span>.
  </FormattedCompMessage>
  ```

  `FormattedCompMessage` is built as a layer on top of `react-intl`, and uses it to do the actual translations. Its function is to transform a tree of React elements into a coded string, get that string translated with `react-intl`, transform the coded translated string back into a tree of React elements, and finally substitute the hidden React elements from the source tree back into the translation tree in the right locations.

  The component depends on the new babel plugin `babel-plugin-box-i18n` to extract the coded texts from the source code and place them into the same type of JSON files that the `react-intl` babel plugin produces. In this way, the translation process downstream from there works with no further changes. The translations appear in the properties files some time later and `react-intl` picks them up as normal. The `FormattedCompMessage` can retrieve these translations using `react-intl`. The `babel-pluging-box-i18n` plugin also enforces Box's policies, such as the requirement that all strings have a unique id and a description for the translators.

  The `FormattedCompMessage` component can support plurals in a React-idiomatic way by embedding `<Plural>` components in the body of the `FormattedCompMessage`:

  ```javascript theme={null}
  <FormattedCompMessage id="mystring" description="translator's comment" count={count}>
    <Plural category="one">This is the <strong>singular</strong> string.</Plural>
    <Plural category="other">This is the <strong>plural</strong> string.</Plural>
  </FormattedCompMessage>
  ```

  Note that HTML and subcomponents are allowed in the plural string as well.

  The `FormattedCompMessage` component supports replacement parameters in a React-idiomatic way by embedding `<Param>` components in the body of the `FormattedCompMessage`:

  ```javascript theme={null}
  <FormattedCompMessage id="mystring" description="translator's comment">
    User <Param value={user.name} description="The user's full name"/> has already deleted this file.
  </FormattedCompMessage>
  ```

  Note that the `Param` tags can be used inside of `Plural` tags as well, as they are normal components.

  * **`deps`:** Peer dependencies have been updated and will require downstream applications to update as well to avoid NPM warnings.
  * **`icons`:** Old `IconShare` defaulted to `26x26` and old `IconCollaboration` defaulted to `27x26` but new icons are defaulted to `32x32`.  Also, default SVG classnames are now changed to `bdl-IconShare` and `bdl-IconCollaboration`.

  ## New Shield Error Code

  A new error code for [Box Shield][box-shield] has been released. The new
  `403 - forbidden_by_policy` error code will be raised when the enterprise has
  applied Shield access policies that prevent the action, such as downloading
  items.

  The resolution path is to contact your Box admin to adjust the Shield access
  policies if the action is required.

  See the
  [error code documentation](/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors)
  for more details and solution path.

  ## New security enhancements for token revocation

  We have enhanced the capabilities of the [token
  revocation](/reference/post-oauth2-revoke/) endpoint to permit
  [downscoped tokens][downscope] to be
  revoked prior to their expiration time. Previous to this update only fully
  scoped access tokens could be revoked through the /revoke endpoint. With this
  new enhancement downscoped tokens may now be revoked in addition to the fully
  scoped access tokens.

  More information is available [here][blog_token_revocation].

  ## New completion\_rule field for Tasks

  A new optional field has been made available within the Task object,
  `completion_rule`. This field may be set through the use of the
  [Create Task](/reference/post-tasks) and [Update Task](/reference/put-tasks-id)
  endpoints, and will be returned as part of the standard
  [Task object](/reference/tasks-resources#task).

  The purpose of this field is to set the conditions under which a task is
  completed, based on user involvement. When a task is created with a completion
  rule of `all_assignees` (default), the task will only be considered completed
  when all assignees have completed the task. When a task is created with a
  completion rule of `any_assignee`, the task will be considered completed when
  one assignee has completed the task.

  ## New supported values in Tasks API

  On June 26th, Box released support for a new task type, general tasks. When
  creating or updating a task, the `action` field can either be `review` for
  approval tasks or `complete` for the new general tasks.

  This change also affects the accepted values when updating a task assignment.
  If you want to update an approval/review task, the `resolution_state` can be
  set to `incomplete`, `approved`, or `rejected`. A general/complete task can
  have a `resolution_state` of `incomplete` or `completed`.

  The Tasks API doesn't refer to tasks as "General" or "Approval" within the
  response body. This is reflected only within Box's UI.

  Docs can be found [here](/reference/tasks-resources#task).

  ## Replaced Obsolete Field in Collaborations

  In 2018 a new field, `acceptance_requirements_status` was added to the GET
  collaborations/id API endpoint to support additional notification use cases.
  This field includes terms of service, 2-factor auth, and strong password
  requirements. The existing `acceptance_requirements` field, which only contains
  Terms of Service requirements, have been replaced with the new
  `acceptance_requirements_status`.

  Previously a call to `GET
    /collaboration/<collaboration_id>?fields=acceptance_requirements` would return
  an object like the following:

  ```js theme={null}
  "acceptance_requirements": {
      "terms_of_service": {
          "type": "terms_of_service",
          "id": <tos_id>
      }
  }
  ```

  With the new field, the request `GET
    /collaboration/<collaboration_id>?fields=acceptance_requirements_status` would
  return the following:

  ```js theme={null}
   "acceptance_requirements_status": {
      "terms_of_service_requirement": {
          "is_accepted": true,
          "terms_of_service": {
              "type": "terms_of_service",
              "id": <tos_id>
          }
      },
      "strong_password_requirement": {

  ## TLS 1.0 deprecated complete

  On May 13th, 2019, Box began the process of disabling TLS 1.0 requests to Box
  APIs. As of today, all TLS 1.0 API requests will be returning a response
  stating that a secure connection could not be established when making API calls.

  Impacted developers will have been notified through multiple channels over the
  last 6-12 months, but should your application be impacted you will need to
  update your systems to again be able to make API requests to Box.

  Please see our TLS 1.0 deprecation guide to
  upgrade your systems to TLS 1.2.

  ## Collaborations now show unregistered users

  An additional field, `invite_email`, has been added to the collaboration return
  object in the instance where an unregistered user has been added as a
  collaborator on a file or folder. This change was put in place because the
  current `accessible_by` object returned would show `null` as the result for an
  unregistered user. The new field will now show the email address that was used
  to invite the user.

  This change affects the following endpoints:

  * [Get Collaboration](/reference/get-collaborations-id)
  * [Get File Collaborations](/reference/get-files-id-collaborations)
  * [Get Folder Collaborations](/reference/get-folders-id-collaborations)

  Previously a collaboration object with an unregistered user would look like the
  following:

  ```js theme={null}
  {
    "type": "collaboration",
    "id": "376164239",
    .....
    "accessible_by":  null
    .....
  }
  ```

  With this new update the object returned would look like the following:

  ```js theme={null}
  {
    "type": "collaboration",
    "id": "376164239",
    ......
    "accessible_by":  null
    "invite_email": "sadfasdf@box.com",
    },
    ......
  }
  ```
</Update>

<Update label="2018-12-05">
  ## Enterprise events API adds created\_by for supervisors

  A minor change has been made to the response object of the
  [enterprise events](/reference/get-events/#request) API endpoint in the
  event that an action is taken by a supervisor or internal admin user, such as a
  Box admin.

  Prior to this update the user information of the supervisor or internal admin
  user would be displayed in the `created_by` field of the response object. With
  this update the response will now show generic user information when that user
  is a supervisor or internal admin.

  Previously the `created_by` field in the response looked like this:

  ```js theme={null}
  "created_by": {
    "type": "user",
    "id": "2030401181",
    "name": "sshah+iadev",
    "login": "admin_sshah"
  }
  ```

  With this update that same response would look similar to the following:

  ```js theme={null}
  "created_by": {
    "type": "user",
    "id": "box_support",
    "name": "Box Support",
    "login": "support@box.com"

</Update>

<Update label="2018-11-01" description="Python SDK v2.0.0 released">
  ## Breaking Changes

  * Python 2.6 is no longer supported.

  * Python 3.3 is no longer supported.

  * `client.search()` now returns a `Search` object that exposes a `query()` method to call the Search API.
    Use `client.search().query(**search_params)` instead of `client.search(**search_params)`.

  * `client.get_memberships(...)` has a change in signature. The limit and offset parameters have swapped positions to keep
    consistency with the rest of the SDK.

  * `client.groups(...)` has been changed to `client.get_groups`. The limit and offset parameters have swapped positions.

  * The `unshared_at` parameter for `item.create_shared_link(...)` and `file.get_shared_link_download_url(...)`
    now takes an `RFC3339-formatted <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339#section-5.8>` `unicode` string instead of a
    `datetime.date`.  Users migrating from `v1.x` can pass the value of `date.isoformat()` instead of the `date`
    object itself.

  * `Events.get_events(...)` now returns a list of `Event` instances rather than a list of `dict`
    representing events.  `Event` inherits from `Mapping` but will not have all the same capabilities as
    `dict`.

    * Your code is affected if you use `Events.get_events(...)` and expect a list of `dict` rather than a list of
      `Mapping`.  For example, if you use `__setitem__` (`event['key'] = value`), `update()`, `copy()`, or
      if your code depends on the `str` or `repr` of the `Event`.  Use of `__getitem__` (`event['key']`),
      `get()`, and other `Mapping` methods is unaffected.  See the [Python
      documentation](https://docs.python.org/2.7/library/collections.html#collections-abstract-base-classes) for methods supported on
      `Mapping` instances.

    * Migration: If you still need to treat an `Event` as a `dict`, you can get a deepcopy of the original `dict`
      using the new property on `BaseAPIJSONObject`, `response_object`.

  * `LoggingNetwork` has been removed. Logging calls are now made from the `DefaultNetwork` class. In addition,
    the logging format strings in this class have changed in a way that
    will break logging for any applications that have overridden any of these
    strings. They now use keyword format placeholders instead of positional
    placeholders. All custom format strings will now have to use the same keyword
    format placeholders. Though this is a breaking change, the good news is that
    using keyword format placeholders means that any future changes will be
    automatically backwards-compatible (as long as there aren't any changes to
    change/remove any of the keywords).

  * `File.update_contents()` and `File.update_contents_with_stream()` now
    correctly return a `File` object with the correct internal JSON structure.
    Previously it would return a `File` object where the file JSON is hidden
    inside `file['entries'][0]`. This is a bug fix, but will be a breaking
    change for any clients that have already written code to handle the bug.

  * Comparing two objects (e.g. a `File` and a `Folder`) that have the same Box ID but different types with `==`
    will now correctly return `False`.

  * The following methods now return iterators over the entire collection of returned objects, rather than
    a single page:

    * `client.users()`
    * `client.groups()`
    * `client.search().query()`
    * `folder.get_items()`

    Since `folder.get_items()` now returns an iterator, `folder.get_items_limit_offset()` and
    `folder.get_items_marker()` have been removed.  To use marker based paging with `folder.get_items()`,
    pass the `use_marker=True` parameter and optionally specify a `marker` parameter to begin paging from that
    point in the collection.

    Additionally, `group.membership()` has been renamed to `group.get_memberships()`, and returns an iterator of
    membership objects.  This method no longer provides the option to return tuples with paging information.

  * The `Translator` class has been reworked; `translator.get(...)` still returns the constructor for the object class
    corresponding to the passed in type, but `translator.translate(...)` now takes a `Session` and response object
    directly and produces the translated object.  This method will also translate any nested objects found.

    * This change obviates the need for `GroupMembership` to have a custom constructor; it now uses the default
      `BaseObject` constructor.

  ## Features

  * All publicly documented API endpoints and parameters should now be supported by the SDK

  * Added more flexibility to the object translation system:

    * Can create non-global `Translator` instances, which can extend or
      not-extend the global default `Translator`.
    * Can initialize `BoxSession` with a custom `Translator`.
    * Can register custom subclasses on the `Translator` which is associated
      with a `BoxSession` or a `Client`.
    * All translation of API responses now use the `Translator` that is
      referenced by the `BoxSession`, instead of directly using the global
      default `Translator`.
    * Nested objects are now translated by `translator.translate()`

  * When the `auto_session_renewal` is `True` when calling any of the request
    methods on `BoxSession`, if there is no access token, `BoxSession` will
    renew the token *before* making the request. This saves an API call.

  * Auth objects can now be closed, which prevents them from being used to
    request new tokens. This will also revoke any existing tokens (though that
    feature can be turned off by passing `revoke=False`). Also introduces a
    `closing()` context manager method, which will auto-close the auth object
    on exit.

  * Various enhancements to the `JWTAuth` baseclass:

    * The `authenticate_app_user()` method is renamed to
      `authenticate_user()`, to reflect that it may now be used to authenticate
      managed users as well. See the method `docstring` for details.
      `authenticate_app_user()` is now an alias of `authenticate_user()`, in
      order to not introduce an unnecessary backwards-incompatibility.
    * The `user` argument to `authenticate_user()` may now be either a user
      ID string or a `User` instance. Before it had to be a `User` instance.
    * The constructor now accepts an optional `user` keyword argument, which
      may be a user ID string or a `User` instance. When this is passed,
      `authenticate_user()` and can be called without passing a value for the
      `user` argument. More importantly, this means that `refresh()` can be
      called immediately after construction, with no need for a manual call to
      `authenticate_user()`. Combined with the aforementioned improvement to
      the `auto_session_renewal` functionality of `BoxSession`, this means
      that authentication for `JWTAuth` objects can be done completely
      automatically, at the time of first API call.
    * The constructor now supports passing the RSA private key in two different
      ways: by file system path (existing functionality), or by passing the key
      data directly (new functionality). The `rsa_private_key_file_sys_path`
      parameter is now optional, but it is required to pass exactly one of
      `rsa_private_key_file_sys_path` or `rsa_private_key_data`.
    * Document that the `enterprise_id` argument to `JWTAuth` is allowed to
      be `None`.
    * `authenticate_instance()` now accepts an `enterprise` argument, which
      can be used to set and authenticate as the enterprise service account user,
      if `None` was passed for `enterprise_id` at construction time.
    * Authentications that fail due to the expiration time not falling within the
      correct window of time are now automatically retried using the time given
      in the Date header of the Box API response. This can happen naturally when
      the system time of the machine running the Box SDK doesn't agree with the
      system time of the Box API servers.

  * Added an `Event` class.

  * Moved `metadata()` method to `Item` so it's now available for `Folder`
    as well as `File`.

  * The `BaseAPIJSONObject` baseclass (which is a superclass of all API
    response objects) now supports `__contains__` and `__iter__`. They behave
    the same as for `Mapping`. That is, `__contains__` checks for JSON keys
    in the object, and `__iter__` yields all of the object's keys.

  * Added a `RecentItem` class.

  * Added `client.get_recent_items()` to retrieve a user's recently accessed items on Box.

  * Added support for the `can_view_path` parameter when creating new collaborations.

  * Added `BoxObjectCollection` and subclasses `LimitOffsetBasedObjectCollection` and
    `MarkerBasedObjectCollection` to more directly manage paging of objects from an endpoint.
    These classes manage the logic of constructing requests to an endpoint and storing the results,
    then provide `__next__` to iterate over the results. The option to return results one
    by one or as a `Page` of results is also provided.

  * Added a `downscope_token()` method to the `Client` class. This generates a token that
    has its permissions reduced to the provided scopes and for the optionally provided
    `File` or `Folder`.

  * Added methods for configuring `JWTAuth` from config file: `JWTAuth.from_settings_file` and
    `JWTAuth.from_settings_dictionary`.

  * Added `network_response` property to `BoxOAuthException`.

  * API Configuration can now be done per `BoxSession` instance.

  ## Other

  * Added extra information to `BoxAPIException`.
  * Added `collaboration()` method to `Client`.
  * Reworked the class hierarchy.  Previously, `BaseEndpoint` was the parent of `BaseObject` which was the parent
    of all smart objects.  Now `BaseObject` is a child of both `BaseEndpoint` and `BaseAPIJSONObject`.
    `BaseObject` is the parent of all objects that are a part of the REST API.  Another subclass of
    `BaseAPIJSONObject`, `APIJSONObject`, was created to represent pseudo-smart objects such as `Event` that are not
    directly accessible through an API endpoint.
  * Added `network_response_constructor` as an optional property on the
    `Network` interface. Implementations are encouraged to override this
    property, and use it to construct `NetworkResponse` instances. That way,
    subclass implementations can extend the functionality of the
    `NetworkResponse`, by re-overriding this property. This property is defined
    and used in the `DefaultNetwork` implementation.
  * Move response logging to a new `LoggingNetworkResponse` class (which is
    made possible by the aforementioned `network_response_constructor`
    property). Now the SDK decides whether to log the response body, based on
    whether the caller reads or streams the content.
  * Add more information to the request/response logs from `LoggingNetwork`.
  * Add logging for request exceptions in `LoggingNetwork`.
  * Bugfix so that the return value of `JWTAuth.refresh()` correctly matches
    that of the auth interface (by returning a tuple of
    ((access token), (refresh token or None)), instead of only the access token).
    In particular, this fixes an exception in `BoxSession` that always occurred
    when it tried to refresh any `JWTAuth` object.
  * Fixed an exception that was being raised from `ExtendableEnumMeta.__dir__()`.
  * `CPython` 3.6 support.
  * Increased required minimum version of six to 1.9.0.

  co-developed between Box and IBM, with a new Workflow API. The Relay Workflow
  API allows you to launch Box Relay workflows and retrieve the statuses of those
  workflows from within your application. It also allows you to view which
  workflow templates have been published in file directly into your instance of
  Box Relay. For more information about the API, please see our
  [announcement blog post][box_relay_announce].

    document without having to re-select the point annotation icon after each
    annotation. [here](/guides/embed/ui-elements).
  * **Drawing Annotations via Expiring Embed**: We launched Drawing Annotations
    in November of 2017. This provided end users the ability to free-form draw on
    their touch-enabled devices using touch or a stylus. We are excited to share
    that we're making Drawing Annotations Full release announcement is available

<Update label="2018-03-29">
  ## Breaking change to Metadata APIs

  On March 29, 2018, we will introduce a new data type (array of strings) in the
  response body of the Metadata API endpoints. We are making this change because
  we are adding a new field type to metadata templates in Box called `multiSelect`.
  This new field type represents a checkbox type multiple selection of values
  when creating template instances on files or folders. The selected options for
  this field type are stored in an array of strings, where each string in the
  array corresponds to the key of the chosen `multiSelect` option.

  An example metadata template JSON response body is shown below. The value for
  the key `audience1` shows an example of the new data type (array of strings) that
  we are introducing in this change.

  ```js theme={null}
  {
    "audience1": ["internal"), translate("internalEng"],
    "documentType": "Q1 plans",
    "competitiveDocument": "no",

# Box Embed
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-embed



Box Embed is an HTML-based framework that allows embedding the entire
Box Web App experience in a custom-made application. Box Embed provides the ability to upload, search, comment, share, tag, and edit files using Box Edit. You can also embed Box Hubs AI Chat for a focused chatbot experience.

## Before you start

To create a widget, you need to:

* Set an embeddable element, such as a folder, file, hub, note, or app for sharing.
* Have at least **Viewer** [permissions][5].

## Using web app

To fetch the Box Embed widget code from the Box web app, perform the following steps.

### Files and folders

1. Navigate to the chosen file or folder.
2. Click on the ellipsis next to the folder.
3. Go to  **More Actions** >  **Embed Widget**.

### Hubs

1. Navigate to the chosen hub.
2. Click on the ellipsis menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Click **Embed Hub**.

<Note>
  You can also embed only the AI chat interface from a hub. Users can ask questions and get AI-powered answers based on the hub's files, without accessing navigation or file browsing features. For more information, see the <Link href="/guides/embed/box-embed/#box-hubs-ai-chat-embedding">Box Hubs AI Chat embedding</Link> section.
</Note>

### Notes

1. Navigate to the chosen note.
2. Click on the ellipsis menu.
3. Click **Embed Box Note**.

### Apps

1. Navigate to the chosen app or Box App View.
2. Click on the ellipsis menu.
3. Click **Embed**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Embed" />
</Frame>

In the next step, configure the parameters of an embeddable element.

| Element Type | Configuration Options                                                                         |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Files        | Size of the widget.                                                                           |
| Folders      | Size of the widget, sorting of the files in a folder, hiding the navigation path and sidebar. |
| Hubs         | Size of the widget, hiding the parent navigation path and sidebar.                            |
| Hubs AI Chat | Chat mode: button or widget.                                                                  |
| Notes        | Size of the widget, hiding notes navigation.                                                  |
| Apps         | Size of the widget.                                                                           |

When you are done customizing the embed widget, copy
and paste the embed code into your site or web application.

## Programmatically

If you want to customize Box Embed even further, you can do it programmatically. The format for an embed snippet is as follows:

```html theme={null}
<iframe
  src="https://{custom_domain}.app.box.com/embed/s/{shared link value}?view={list or icon}&sortColumn={name, date, or size}&sortDirection=ASC"
  width="{pixels}"
  height="{pixels}"
  frameborder="0"
  <!-- Optionally replace * with your enterprise-specific domain (for example, mycompanydomain.app.box.com) -->
  allow="local-network-access *; clipboard-read *; clipboard-write *" 
  allowfullscreen
  webkitallowfullscreen
  msallowfullscreen>
</iframe>
```

### Browser permissions

The `allow` attribute enables clipboard operations and local network access for Google Chrome 142 and above and Microsoft Edge 143 and above. While designed for these browser versions, this attribute can be safely included for all browsers. Other browsers will ignore it.

Without this attribute, embedded Box content might not work correctly with Box Tools, Device Trust, or the clipboard copy button.

<Note>
  The Embed Widget Link Generation modal automatically includes this parameter in the generated code.
</Note>

### Finding your shared link value

The first step to building an embed `iframe` programmatically is to generate
or find the value for the shared link. One way to find this value is by
using the Box web app.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Share" />
</Frame>

Another way is to create a shared link with API using the
<Link href="/reference/put-files-id--add-shared-link">`PUT /files/:file_id`</Link> or <Link href="/reference/put-folders-id--add-shared-link">`PUT /files/:file_id`</Link>.

Then you can find this shared link value using the
<Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link> or <Link href="/reference/get-folders-id">`GET /folders/:id`</Link> endpoint and passing in the
query parameter `fields=shared_link`.

```curl theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/12345?fields=shared_link \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
"shared_link": {
  "url": "https://app.box.com/s/dsbJFzdO7qZxdfOHFzdO7qZxdfOH",
  "download_url": null,
  "vanity_url": null,
  ...
}
```

You can also set the page to Root Folder/All Files page. Set the URL to
`/folder/0` instead of the share link:
`<iframe src=“https://app.box.com/embed/folder/0”….></iframe>`

### Parameters

Next, you will want to choose your view customization options. The following is
a list of optional parameters you can configure.

|                          |                                                                                                                                                       |
| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `hideHubsGallery`        | Hide or show navigation chevron button to go back to Hubs gallery. Can be `true` or `false` (default).                                                |
| `hideNavigationControls` | Hide or show navigation controls in Box Notes.                                                                                                        |
| `showItemFeedActions`    | Hide or show file comments or tasks. Can be `true` (default) or `false`.                                                                              |
| `showParentPath`         | Hide or show the folder path in the header of the frame. Can be `true` (default) or `false`.                                                          |
| `sortColumn`             | The order the files or folders are sorted in. Can be `name`, `date` (default), or `size`.                                                             |
| `sortDirection`          | The sort direction of files or folders. Can be `ASC` (default) or `DESC`.                                                                             |
| `view`                   | The view type for your files or folders. Can be `list` (default) or `icon`. For logged-in users the view type from user preferences takes precedence. |
| `uxLite`                 | Show the limited content preview (Preview Light). Works only for shared files and Box Notes.                                                          |

<Note>
  When you use `uxLite` with Box Notes, navigation controls are not displayed, regardless of the `hideNavigationControls` setting.
</Note>

All custom search parameters from the first-party app URL are passed to the embed widget modal and Content Preview.

### Full screen capabilities

To enable full screen capabilities for the Box Embed snippet, include one or more
of the following parameters if you want the object to be viewable in full screen
within an `<iframe>`:

* `allowfullscreen`
* `webkitallowfullscreen`
* `mozallowfullscreen`
* `oallowfullscreen`
* `msallowfullscreen`

## Box Hubs AI Chat embedding

In addition to embedding the complete Box Hub experience, you can embed only the AI-powered chat interface. This mode provides a focused chatbot experience powered by the files within a specific hub, without navigation or content browsing options.

### Prerequisites

To access a hub embedded in AI Chat mode:

* The enterprise that owns the hub must have Box AI for Hubs enabled.
* The user must be authenticated and have Box AI for Hubs enabled at their enterprise.
* The user needs at least Viewer [permissions][5] on the hub.

### Creating an AI Chat embed

1. Navigate to the hub that will serve as the knowledge source for the AI Chat.

2. Click the ellipsis menu in the upper-right corner.

3. Click **Embed Hub**.

4. Select the **Hub AI Chat** tab.

5. Select chat mode:

   * <Link href="/guides/embed/box-embed/#chat-button">Chat button</Link>
   * <Link href="/guides/embed/box-embed/#chat-widget">Chat widget</Link>

6. Copy the embed code.

<Note>
  If you experience issues with the Box Hubs AI Chat embedding, regenerate the embed code to get the latest version of the script by repeating steps 1-6 above.
</Note>

### Chat button

In **Chat button** mode, the AI chat widget opens after the user clicks the button. It is generated as a Box-hosted `script` and displays a floating chat button on your page.

<img alt="Chat button mode" />

#### Chat button parameters

The **Chat button** mode supports the following parameters:

| Parameter                | Required | Description                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `data-hub-id`            | Yes      | The ID of the hub that powers the chatbot.                                                                                           |
| `data-custom-box-domain` | No       | For Box instances with custom domains. Default: `app.box.com`. Example: `mycompanydomain.app.box.com`.                               |
| `data-button-text`       | No       | Custom text to display on the chat button. Default: `Box AI`. This value is also used for the button's area label for accessibility. |
| `data-shared-link`       | No       | Optional shared link for hub access. If not provided, the chat loads only for users who are collaborators on the hub.                |

The following example shows a fully configured chat button with all available parameters:

```html theme={null}
<script 
  src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/embeddable-ai-chat-script/2.8.0/box_integrations_ai_chat_button.js" 
  data-hub-id="123456789" 
  data-custom-box-domain="mycompanydomain.app.box.com" 
  data-shared-link="abcdefghijklmnopqrst123" 
  data-button-text="Ask our HR chatbot">
</script>
```

### Chat widget

In **Chat widget** mode, the AI chat widget is embedded directly on page load. It is generated as an `iframe` and displays the full chat interface immediately.

<Note>
  Currently, only legacy agents are available from the agent selector dropdown.
</Note>

<Frame>
  <img alt="Chat widget mode" />
</Frame>

#### Chat widget parameters

In **Chat widget** mode, the AI chat widget is embedded directly on the page using an `iframe`. You can customize the behavior by adding URL parameters to the iframe's `src` attribute:

| Parameter         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `hubId`           | The ID of the hub that powers the chatbot.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `sharedLink`      | The shared link hash for hub access. If not provided, the chat loads only for users who are collaborators on the hub.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| `showCloseButton` | Whether to show the <Link href="/guides/embed/box-embed/#using-the-close-button">X (close) button</Link> in the chat interface. When set to `true`, the close button is displayed. When a user clicks this button, Box generates an event that is sent to the parent web application, enabling you to implement custom closing logic based on the user interaction. |

The following example shows a fully configured chat widget with all available parameters:

```html theme={null}
<iframe 
  src="https://yourcompanydomain.app.box.com/ai-chat?hubId=123456789&sharedLink=abcdefghijklmnop123&showCloseButton=false" 
  width="800" 
  height="550" 
  frameBorder="0" 
  <!-- Optionally replace * with your enterprise-specific domain (for example, mycompanydomain.app.box.com) -->  
  allow="local-network-access *; clipboard-read *; clipboard-write *"  
  allowfullscreen 
  webkitallowfullscreen 
  msallowfullscreen>
</iframe>
```

#### Using the close button

When embedding the Box AI chat directly with `iframe` (without using the provided script), you can enable a close button within the chat interface that communicates with your parent application through `postMessage`.

##### Enabling the close button

To display a close button (✕) in the corner of the iframe, add the `showCloseButton=true` query parameter to your `iframe` URL as follows:
`https://app.box.com/ai-chat?hubId=YOUR_HUB_ID&showCloseButton=true`

##### How it works

1. When `showCloseButton=true` is set, an X button appears in the corner of the chat iframe.
2. When a user clicks this button, the iframe sends a `postMessage` event to the parent window.
3. The event contains `event.data.type` set to `"BOX_AI_CHAT_CLOSE"`.
4. Your hosting application listens for this event and handles the closing logic.

##### Implementation example

```javascript theme={null}
window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
    // Optional: validate origin is from Box for additional security
    // if (event.origin !== 'https://app.box.com') return;

    if (event.data && event.data.type === 'BOX_AI_CHAT_CLOSE') {
        closeChat();
    }
});
```

##### Event reference

| Property          | Value                 | Description                                                     |
| ----------------- | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `event.data.type` | `"BOX_AI_CHAT_CLOSE"` | Indicates the user clicked the close button in the chat iframe. |

## Expiring embed links

For files, another option is to call the <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">`GET /files/:id`</Link>
and request an `expiring_embed_link` using the `fields` query parameter.

```curl theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/12345?fields=expiring_embed_link \
    -H "authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
```

```json theme={null}
{
  "etag": "1",
  "expiring_embed_link": {
    "token": {
      "access_token": "1!rFppcinUwwwDmB4G60nah7z...",
      "expires_in": 3646,
      "restricted_to": [
        {
          "object": {
            "etag": "1",
            "file_version": {
              "id": "34567",
              "sha1": "1b8cda4e52cb7b58b354d8da0068908ecfa4bd00",
              "type": "file_version"
            },
            "id": "12345",
            "name": "Image.png",
            "sequence_id": "1",
            "sha1": "1b8cda4e52cb7b58b354d8da0068908ecfa4bd00",
            "type": "file"
          },
          "scope": "base_preview"
        },
        ...
      ],
      "token_type": "bearer"
    },
    "url": "https://cloud.app.box.com/preview/expiring_embed/...."
  },
  "id": "12345",
  "type": "file"
}
```

The `url` attribute can be used in an `<iframe>` to embed an auto expiring Box
Embed interface.

```html theme={null}
<iframe
  src="YOUR-GENERATED-BOX-EMBED-LINK"
  width="{pixels}"
  height="{pixels}"
  frameborder="0"
  allowfullscreen
  webkitallowfullscreen
  msallowfullscreen
/>
```

### Parameters

Extra parameters can be added to this URL as well to customize the UI. To do so,
add the following parameters to the `url` as query parameters. The eventual URL
would look something like this.

```sh theme={null}
https://app.box.com/preview/expiring_embed/[HASH]?[parameterName]=true
```

|                   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `showDownload`    | Shows the download button in the embedded header bar if the viewer has permissions to download the file. Document file types will also show a print button since print and download are governed by the same permissions. Defaults to `false`.                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| `showAnnotations` | Enables users with permission Preview and above to annotate document and image previews. Also shows annotations that are already on the document. To learn more about the file types that annotations is available on as well as the types of annotations, you can refer to our Annotations page. Annotations are available today on web browsers only. On mobile browsers, users will be able to view annotations but not create new ones. |

## Custom logo

Paid Box customers have the option to remove the Box logo in the file Preview.
To do so, visit the **Admin Console**, **Enterprise Settings**, **Custom
Setup** and toggle the **Embed widget customization** off to hide the Box
logo.

## Limitations

Box Embed is not optimized for mobile browsers and should not be used in web
experiences designed for mobile devices. Many UI elements, like the **download**
and **print** options might not show in mobile browsers.

# Box View best practices

## Rotate Tokens

Your application should request a new token before the current one expires. All Box SDKs handle this automatically.

## Downscope Tokens

Access tokens hold elevated privileges over the content managed by your application. Your application can use them to upload, download, preview and modify any Box content.

We strongly recommend that you use a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">downscoped</Link> version of the original access token if you need to make the token available on the client side for any reason. This is because of the elevated privileges granted to these tokens. An example of when this would be needed is if you are using the Box Preview UI Element.

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED GUIDES" />


# Create File Preview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-view/create-preview



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Once a file is uploaded to the application, it can be previewed
using two different methods:

* Direct embed: A standard HTML `<iframe>` component with a custom embed link.
* Customized previewer: A fully customized preview widget using Box <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements">UI Elements</Link>.

## Direct Embed (`iframe`)

The direct embed link provides limited options to customize the preview
experience in your application. Due to the light-weight nature of the method,
the API doesn't give you options to respond to client-side actions such as
scrolling in the case of documents, play/pause interactivity for videos,
rotating an image, etc.

There are two steps to create a direct `<iframe>` embed for Box View:

1. Generate an embed URL for the file
2. Add the embed URL to an `<iframe>`

### Generate an embed URL for the file

To create a public file preview URL for a file that was uploaded to the application, you may either use a direct SDK method or make the request
directly to the APIs.

<Note>
  When generating the embed URL directly from the APIs, use the
  <Link href="/reference/get-files-id">Get File Information endpoint</Link> and request
  `expiring_embed_link` via the `fields` parameter.
</Note>

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID?fields=expiring_embed_link \
      -H "authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]"
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  String fileId = "12345678";
  Uri embedUri = await client.FilesManager.GetPreviewLinkAsync(id: fileId);
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  String fileID = "12345678";
  BoxFile file = new BoxFile(api, fileID);
  URL embedLink = file.getPreviewLink();
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  file_id = '12345678'
  embed_url = client.file(file_id).get_embed_url()
  ```

  ```js Node theme={null}
  const fileId = '12345678';
  client.files.getEmbedLink(fileId).then(embedURL => {
      // ...
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

Within the response object will be a public embed URL like the following:

```shell theme={null}

<Warning>
  For security reasons, the generated embed link will expire after 1 minute and
  should be immediately embedded in the app once generated.
</Warning>

### Add the embed URL to an `<iframe>`

Within the HTML of your application, create an `iframe` elements with the `src`
attribute set to generated embed URL.

```html theme={null}
<iframe src="https://app.box.com/preview/expiring_embed/gvoct6FE!ixgtCKQAziW
  9tHPm-jueq4cmS4GnL9RTJRcVEsK_3W8xcxtVo_v6gKpoXY45odgG1QrcjBVYZMrriUyGvcoSM

```

## Customized Previewer (UI Elements)

To leverage advanced preview customization and event handling capabilities, use
the Box <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview">UI Preview Element</Link>.

To set up the Preview Element, start by installing the required components.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation")} title="Install Box Elements and Preview" />

The basic code will resemble the below when adding the JavaScript code to
display a new previewer.

```js theme={null}
var preview = new Box.Preview();
preview.show("FILE_ID", "ACCESS_TOKEN", {
    container: ".preview-container",
    showDownload: true
});
```

Replace the placeholders in the code sample with the following:

* `FILE_ID`: The ID of the file uploaded to the application, which can be obtained from the object returned when uploading the file.
* `ACCESS_TOKEN`: The primary Access Token set up when configuring the application or a downscoped version of the token.

<Warning>
  Due to the elevated privileges of the primary access token it's highly
  recommended that you use a downscoped version of the token in the Javascript
  code. See
  <Link href="/guides/embed/box-view/best-practices#use-downscoped-tokens">best practices for downscoping</Link>.

# Box View
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-view/index



Box View is an embeddable service that allows developers to upload, convert,
and display files in their web and mobile apps via a high-fidelity,
interactive file viewer.

## Features

### View any file

Embed documents, images, videos, 360-degree videos and images, 3D models, and
dozens of other files in any web or mobile app using a standard `<iframe>`.

### Ease of use

Upload files to Box via a secure API and receive an embeddable HTML5
snippet to place into your application's UI.

### Collaboration in context

Allow end users to collaborate and mark up documents, presentations, and images
with annotations. Users can highlight text or comment on specific areas of a
file rendering.

## How does Box View work

1. Upload files into Box using our <Link href="/reference/post-files-content">secure upload API</Link>. All content is stored in Box's secure cloud storage infrastructure with virus scanning and 256 bit encryption.
2. Upon upload, files are converted into HTML5 compatible assets, which are designed to render crisply and responsively.
3. An embeddable URL is requested to access the file rendering. Previews can be embedded directly in your application using an `<iframe>` URL.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box View flow" />
</Frame>

## Customize your experience with Box Content Preview

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview">Box Content Preview</Link> may be used to create
customized client-side experiences with the converted files.

## Use cases

* Convert and display PDF resumes in a recruiter application
* Convert and display course materials, including documents, videos, and PDFs in a student portal
* Convert and display HD video in a media room
* Convert and display sales collateral, including documents, videos, PDFs, and 3D models in a field sales enablement application

# Setup
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-view/setup



Before uploading files to Box and previewing them using Box View, a Box
Platform App must be created and configured for server authentication.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/applications/platform-apps/create#create-a-platform-app-2")} title="Create a Platform App" />

## Choose an authentication method

Box View works with any server-side authentication method. Choose the one that fits your
needs.

<Note>
  Whether you can change the authentication method after creation depends on your
  enterprise's **Switch server app auth type (CCG or JWT)** setting. If switching
  is disabled, choose carefully - the method is fixed and you must create a new app
  to use a different one. See <Link href="/guides/authentication/select#changing-between-client-credentials-and-jwt">Select Auth Method</Link>.
</Note>

| Method                             | Best for                                              | Key trait                                      |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Client Credentials Grant (CCG)** | Most Box View use cases                               | Simple setup; uses client ID and a secret      |
| **JWT**                            | Environments that require public/private key security | Key-pair based; no shared secret over the wire |

Both methods authenticate as the application's Service Account, which owns all
uploaded content — no end-user login is required.

<Note>
  **Migrating from a Limited Access App**: CCG and JWT Platform Apps support every
  endpoint that Limited Access Apps (App Token authentication) support plus 150 more. The file
  upload, download, delete, and preview workflows are identical. See the [Select Auth
  Method guide](/guides/authentication/select) for a full comparison.
</Note>

## Configure application settings

To configure your application, in the [Developer Console](https://app.box.com/developers/console), navigate to the **Configuration** tab of your application, and then set the following options:

1. For **Application Access**, select **App Access Only**.
   This restricts the application to its own Service Account content, which is the standard configuration for Box View.
2. For **Application Scopes**, enable at least the following options:
   * **Read all files and folders stored in Box** (root\_readonly)
   * **Read and write all files and folders stored in Box** (root\_readwrite)
3. If your application makes API calls from front-end browser code (for example, using Box UI Elements), add your domains to the CORS allow-list at the bottom of the **Configuration** tab.
4. Copy your credentials from the **Configuration** tab:
   * For CCG, copy the **Client ID** and the **Client Secret**.
     To view the secret, [multi-factor authentication](https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697154-Multi-Factor-Authentication-Set-Up-for-Your-Account) is required.
   * For JWT, download the JSON config file after generating a public/private key pair.

## Authorize your application

Server-authenticated Platform Apps require admin authorization before they can make API calls.

1. In the [Developer Console](https://app.box.com/developers/console), navigate to the **Authorization** tab.
2. Click **Review and Submit**.
   Your enterprise's Box Admin will receive an email to approve the application in the Admin Console. For more information, see the [Platform App Approval guide](/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval).

<Warning>
  If you try to make API calls before the app is authorized, you receive the following error:
  <code>"error": "unauthorized\_client"</code>
</Warning>

## Obtain an access token

The process for obtaining an access token depends on the authentication method of your application.

### Client Credentials Grant (CCG) authenticated Platform Apps

Request an access token by sending your client ID and secret to the token endpoint. The token authenticates as the application's Service Account.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/oauth2/token \
  -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
  -d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials" \
  -d "box_subject_type=enterprise" \
  -d "box_subject_id=YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID"
```

The response contains an access token valid for approximately 60 minutes:

```json Response theme={null}
{
  "access_token": "c3FIOG9vSGV4VHo4QzAy...",
  "expires_in": 4169,
  "restricted_to": [],
  "token_type": "bearer"
}
```

Your application should request a new token before the current one expires. All Box SDKs handle this automatically:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, BoxCCGAuth, CCGConfig

  auth = BoxCCGAuth(
      config=CCGConfig(
          client_id="YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
          client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
          enterprise_id="YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID",
      )
  )
  client = BoxClient(auth=auth)
  ```

  ```js Node.js theme={null}
  const BoxSDK = require("box-node-sdk");

  const sdk = new BoxSDK({
    clientID: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
    clientSecret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
  });

  const client = sdk.getCCGClientForEnterprise("YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID");
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}
  BoxCCGAPIConnection api = BoxCCGAPIConnection.applicationServiceAccountConnection(
      "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
      "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
      "YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID"
  );
  ```

  ```csharp .NET theme={null}
  var config = new BoxConfigBuilder("YOUR_CLIENT_ID", "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET")
      .SetEnterpriseId("YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID")
      .Build();
  var session = new BoxCCGAuth(config);
  var client = session.AdminClient();
  ```
</CodeGroup>

### JWT authenticated Platform Apps

If your application uses JWT authentication, use the JSON config file downloaded during setup:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, BoxJWTAuth, JWTConfig

  jwt_config = JWTConfig.from_config_file("/path/to/config.json")
  auth = BoxJWTAuth(config=jwt_config)
  client = BoxClient(auth=auth)
  ```

  ```js Node.js theme={null}
  const BoxSDK = require("box-node-sdk");
  const fs = require("fs");

  const configJSON = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("/path/to/config.json"));
  const sdk = BoxSDK.getPreconfiguredInstance(configJSON);
  const client = sdk.getAppAuthClient("enterprise");
  ```
</CodeGroup>

For more information about JWT setup, see the [JWT authentication guide](/guides/authentication/jwt).

## Downscope tokens for client-side use

If you need to pass an access token to the browser (for example, to run Box Content Preview or other Box UI Elements), always downscope the token first. Downscoping exchanges a full-privilege token for a new token with restricted permissions and an optional file-level scope.

```sh cURL theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.box.com/oauth2/token \
  -d "subject_token=YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -d "subject_token_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token" \
  -d "grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange" \
  -d "scope=item_preview" \
  -d "resource=https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID"
```

The downscoped token is short-lived and limited to the specified scope and file. Use it in client-side code instead of the original access token.

The following table lists common downscope scopes for Box View:

| Scope                              | Description                                 |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| <code>item\_preview</code>         | Preview a file                              |
| <code>item\_download</code>        | Download a file                             |
| <code>base\_preview</code>         | Basic preview (Box Content Preview element) |
| <code>annotation\_edit</code>      | Edit and delete annotations                 |
| <code>annotation\_view\_all</code> | View all annotations                        |

For the full list of downscope scopes, see the [scopes guide](/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes#scopes-for-downscoping).

## Security best practices

Follow these guidelines to ensure your Platform Apps are secure:

* Never expose your client secret or full access token in client-side code. Always downscope before sending tokens to the browser.
* Store credentials securely. Use environment variables or a secrets manager for your client ID, client secret, and enterprise ID.
* Keep **Application Access** set to **App Access Only** unless you specifically need enterprise-wide content access.
* Add only necessary CORS domains. Restrict the allow-list to the domains that actually make browser-side API calls.

## Legacy Limited Access Apps

Limited Access Apps use App Token authentication, which provides a pair of fixed, long-lived tokens (Primary and Secondary) that are manually generated in the Developer
Console. This approach is being replaced by CCG and JWT authentication, which offer programmatic token management, automatic refresh, and access to the full Box API.
If you have an existing Limited Access App, follow these steps to migrate your content to a new CCG or JWT authentication app:

1. Create a new Platform App using CCG or JWT following the [steps above](/guides/embed/box-view/setup#choosing-an-authentication-method).
2. Reupload your content to the new app's Service Account, or use collaborations to share existing content.
3. Replace hard-coded App Tokens with programmatic CCG or JWT token acquisition.
4. Update any downscoped token calls.
   The <code>POST /oauth2/token token-exchange</code> flow is identical; only the <code>subject\_token</code> value changes.

The file upload, preview, and embed workflows are identical regardless of the authentication method. No changes are needed to your iframe embeds or Box UI Element code beyond swapping the access token.

# Upload Files
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/box-view/upload-file



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

To generate a preview embed link for a file, the file must be uploaded to
Box. For most file types, conversion is triggered automatically upon upload.
However, for video and 3D files, it is triggered upon first preview. No explicit
action is required by the user to begin conversion. In either case, conversion
is triggered only once per file, and the generated assets are available for as
long as the original file is stored in Box.

## Uploading a File

To upload a file using the <Link href="/sdks-and-tools">Box SDKs</Link> or directly with
the APIs, you need to use the CCG or JWT Access Token that are generated
during <Link href="/guides/embed/box-view/setup">application setup</Link> to authenticate your
application.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/tokens/")} title="Authenticate your application" />

Once an authenticated client has been created, it may be used to upload files
directly to the application for conversion.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/uploads/direct/file")} title="Upload files to Box" />

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED GUIDES" />


# Customize Access
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/access



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

## Motivation

Box UI Elements are initialized on the client and make API calls directly to
Box. Thus, a valid access token must live on the client because all Box API
requests need to be authenticated.

<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Token Exchange</Link> is a mechanism to
exchange a "parent token" (a token for your managed or app user, service
account, or application) to a "child token" which is scoped down to the minimum
set of required permissions so it can be securely sent down to the client
without elevating client privileges.

The Box UI Elements are designed to adapt to the permissions on the token, so an
additional advantage of using Token Exchange with them is that front-end
developers won't have to manually toggle UI controls on/off as long as the
correct set of permissions are present on the client token. This behavior mimics
the experience in the Box application as well. For example, if a user with
"Preview only" permissions to a folder does not see the "Download" button
present in the UI.

This blueprint covers how to use Token Exchange with UI Elements in your
application and example use cases.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Downscope overview" />
</Frame>

* **Making API calls from client more secure:** As a general security practice, we recommend generating and sending downscoped tokens per every action performed by the user to limit exposure on the client. For example, even if a user should have preview and share access to a file, instead of sending the user token to the client which would give them complete user-level access, we suggest downscoping the token using Token Exchange and sending them a "preview only" token when they wish to preview a file and a "share" token when they want to share a file.
* **Creating a custom permissions model:** If you are building an application using UI Elements and the default Box access levels don't fit your permission model, you can start out with a fully scoped token for all your users and trim them down using Token Exchange on the fly to map to your custom permissions model.
* **Using Box services transactionally (no Box user accounts):** If you are not creating users in Box and are using Box services transactionally, you won't have access to user level tokens. In such cases, you can use Token Exchange to scope down the Service Account token to an appropriately scoped token.
* **Creating a user only to give them access to another user's content:** If you need to provide an end user "one time" access to another app/managed user's content, Token Exchange can be used to downscope the app/managed user token to the specific permissions and file/folders you want to give the end user access to, and pass it down to UI Elements to give them access to that content. For example, using Token Exchange, you can downscope a user token to have read-only access to content and pass it down to another user.

## Implementation

The solution for all of the above is using Token Exchange to exchange a parent
token for a downscoped token and initializing the UI Element using that token.

Token Exchange takes in the "parent token", "list of scopes" and optionally a
file/folder ID as the input arguments, and returns a token that is scoped down
to those exact set of scopes and the respective file/folder ID, if present in
the input arguments.

<Info>
  **Dedicated scopes designed for UI Elements**

  We have designed a set of scopes that work seamlessly with the UI Elements.
  While token exchange works with all Box scopes, we recommend using these
  scopes along with UI Elements since they include the exact set of permissions
  required for base functionality as well as incremental permissions for added
  functionality.
</Info>

<Frame>
  <img alt="Downscope overview" />
</Frame>

## Developer Flow

Now that you understand the different scopes, let's walk through a
scenario for using Token Exchange with a UI Element.

**Scenario:** Provide a user with the ability to browse a folder tree using the
Box Content Explorer UI Element and allow them to preview and download files.
Sharing should be turned off.

**Steps:**

* Create a Managed User, App User or Service Account depending on your use case. You will use this user or application's token as the parent token for Token Exchange. To generate the user token follow:
  * Authentication with OAuth guide if you would like to create a Managed User
  * Authentication with JWT guide if you would like to create an App User or Service Account
* Add the user you created above as a Collaborator to the content using the Create Collaborator API as shown below. This step gives the user access to the content if not already under the user's account. If the file/folder was created under this user's account, then the user by default has "Owner" access to the folder so you can skip the collaboration step.

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/collaborations \
    -H "authorization: Bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]" \
    -d '{"item": { "id": "123456", "type": "folder"}, "accessible_by": { "id": "USER_ID", "type": "user" }, "role": "editor"}' \
    -X POST
```

<Info>
  **Access Levels in Box**

  There are [7 different access levels][accesslevels] that a Box user can be
  collaborated as on a file/folder in Box. If the file/folder was created under
  this user's account, then the user has "Owner" access to the folder by
  default so you can skip the collaboration step.
</Info>

* Use the Token Exchange API to exchange the parent token for a child token that contains the base scope for Content Explorer (`base_explorer`), `item_download` and `item_preview` scopes enabled for the specific `folder_id` `123456`.  We strongly recommend performing this step on the application server.

### Request

```sh theme={null}
curl https://api.box.com/oauth2/token \
  -d 'subject_token=ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -d 'subject_token_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token' \
  -d 'scope=item_upload item_preview base_explorer' \
  -d 'resource=https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/123456' \
  -d 'grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange' \
  -X POST
```

### Response

```json theme={null}
{
  "access_token": "CHILD_TOKEN",
  "expires_in": 4247,
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "restricted_to": [
    {
      "scope": "base_explorer",
      "object": {
        "type": "folder",
        "id": "123456",
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "etag": "0",
        "name": "FOLDER_NAME"
      }
    },
    {
      "scope": "item_download",
      "object": {
        "type": "folder",
        "id": "123456",
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "etag": "0",
        "name": "FOLDER_NAME"
      }
    },
    {
      "scope": "item_preview",
      "object": {
        "type": "folder",
        "id": "123456",
        "sequence_id": "0",
        "etag": "0",
        "name": "FOLDER_NAME"
      }
    }
  ],
  "issued_token_type": "urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:access_token"
}
```

The `CHILD_TOKEN` obtained above is scoped down to only include download and
preview permissions for folder id `123456` and its children.

Use this `CHILD_TOKEN` in your Content Explorer UI Element. To see a quick demo,
you can use our [Content Explorer UI Element CodePen
Sample](https://codepen.io/box-platform/pen/wdWWdN) and replace the access token
and folder id values in the JS Tab.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Downscope overview" />
</Frame>

Click "Run". You should see the Content Explorer initialized at the folder you
specified. Also, notice that your Content Explorer no longer shows the "Share"
button as it would have with the parent (user) token.

## When NOT to use Token Exchange

* **Does not replace Users or Groups in Box:** We recommend not using Token Exchange as a replacement to creating users in Box. One way to determine whether you should create Box users, is by doing an assessment to determine if it makes logical sense for every end user of your application to have a copy of their own content. Here are some benefits of maintaining user level accounts in Box, which you wouldn't get by using Token Exchange alone.
  * **Content isolation/security:** It's better to have user level accounts since in the case of the parent token accidentally leaking, you would only be compromising the content of a single user vs. all users of your enterprise.
  * **Performance:** Creating users/groups in Box is also useful as your application does not have to determine the appropriate permissions at the time of accessing content since that is likely to affect the performance of your application.
  * **User level tracking/auditing:** Several Box features such as auditing, access stats, retention, etc. leverage Box's user model. If it is essential for you to use those features for you then you would have to create user-level accounts.
* **Does not replace Collaborations in Box:** Collaborations is a more standard and easier to scale way to provide Box users with access to content. Also, managing content access through collaborations in Box requires your application to manage lesser code/data on which user should have access to what content. If you are using Token Exchange as a replacement to Collaborations, you will need to keep a mapping of every user -> every file and folder that they should have access to and that could get out of control pretty quickly.
* **Caching the downscoped tokens:** If performance is critical to your application, you should pre-cache downscoped tokens on the server side. If you are pre-caching tokens, we recommend implementing retries as the tokens expire within 1 hour.

<Info>
  **Token Lifespan**

  The lifespan of parent and child tokens are not mutually dependent, for
  example when generating a child token doesn't render the parent token
  inactive. Similarly, generating more child tokens doesn't impact the previous
  child tokens in any way.
</Info>

## Example Scenarios

### Scenario #1: More secure client API calls

An equity-investment firm is building out a partner/investor portal to broadcast
information (view-only access) to investors published by the employees.

They create app users for each of their external customers and employees have
provisioned Box accounts which they used to publish content. All app users are
collaborated on published content as Viewer Uploader, so they can both preview
as well as upload content in their account as needed. Once an investor/partner
signs in they are taken to a portal where they can view as well as upload
information.

Since both preview and upload require the API calls to be made via the client,
instead of passing down a “Viewer Uploader” token, the application uses Token
Exchange to downscope the token appropriately based on the action that the user
is trying to perform. This ensures that if the token is compromised, data
leakage is minimized thereby improving the overall security posture of the
application.

### Scenario #2: A custom permissions model

A large fin-tech company is building a secure client vault to manage investments
for their clients. They are also using Box UI Elements to build out the content
management front end of their application.

They create app users as usual for each one of their clients and app advisors.
When they wanted to share content across app users, they collaborate the app
user(s) as "Editor" role (Box's role). This guarantees that every app user had
full access to every other user’s content.

To enable a user to access content via the UI Elements, the application does not
provide the app user token to the client directly as the app user may be
collaborated as an "Editor" into other user's content (highly privileged).
Instead, it uses Token Exchange using the app user token to generate a
downscoped token that limits:

* the scope of what the token can be used for (view, upload, download, browse, share, etc.) and/or
* the specific files that the user should have access to

### Scenario #3: Process Flows

A not-for-profit union bank is developing a loan processing application using
Box's secure content layer to facilitate the sharing of documents between loan
applicants and internal users (loan processors and underwriters). The basic
process is as follows:

* When customers apply for a loan they must submit documents through a custom-built web portal as a part of the process (proof of income, identity etc.)
* Box is used as the intermediary for sending/receiving docs
* Internal employees need to upload files for customers
* Internal employees can access documents through a custom web portal as well as Box Web app

The application developers used Token Exchange along with UI Elements to build
out a loan process management solution, where the application server downscopes
the loan application's app user token based on which operations the client needs
to perform, and passes it down to the clients (customers and loan officers).
Using these downscoped tokens, the UI Elements are able to show the right
controls/buttons to indicate to the user which actions they can perform
(example: upload button is grayed out from the content explorer UI Elements if
the downscoped token passed doesn't contain upload permissions).

### Scenario #4: Transactional Flows

A Learning Management System provider is using Box to power preview in
their application. All users and associated permissions are managed by the
application outside Box. From Box's perspective, all API calls made by the
application are on its own behalf (any not any individual user), and all content
stored and previewed belongs to the application and not to a single user. In
this case, the application developer is using a sliver of Box's overall
capabilities (for example Preview) transactionally and none of the other secure
content sharing and collaboration capabilities. In fact, this is a key use case
for many customers.

Consider a straightforward use case of the application - the end user needs to
upload a file and then preview it in the application itself. To do this the
application is using the Content Uploader and Content Preview UI Elements,
respectively. Since both preview + upload are bandwidth heavy operations, the
application should not proxy the traffic and instead allow the client to perform
these operations directly against Box. To make calls against Box, all UI
Elements require a valid access token to be available on the client. But the
application should never pass down the privileged "service account" token to the
client which would give the client access to all content ever uploaded through
the application. Instead, the application uses Token Exchange to down-scope it's
service account token to an upload-only token to allow the client to upload
files via the Upload UI Element, and a separate preview-only token to let the
client preview via the Preview UI Element.

## Anti-patterns

These anti-patterns have been included here to help you identify patterns that
we do not recommend as they will either make your app development more
challenging, your application less secure or performing or both. If you find
yourself implementing any of these patterns on your app, please reach out to us
via Box support so we can help you out.

### Passing privileged tokens to client

Please NEVER DO THIS. This can potentially compromise the security of content in
your Box enterprise. Always use token exchange to provide end users with the
exact set of permissions.

### Proxying/filtering API responses

If you are proxying/filtering API responses from Box only to limit data/content
exposure to the client, you should try to see if using Token Exchange allows you
to limit the exposure. This is especially true for high-bandwidth operations
such as preview, download, and upload which are bandwidth intensive and so we
recommend that the client performs those operations directly with Box.

# Annotations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/annotations



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Box Annotations allow developers to provide collaboration capabilities right
from within the embedded Box preview in their application. Box Annotations fit a
wide range of use cases and can be used to draw the previewer's attention and/or
provide feedback on specific parts of a document or images.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview")} title="Learn more about Content Preview" />

Box Content Preview currently supports four annotation types - highlight
comment, highlight only, draw, and point annotation. Box Annotations are today
supported on documents and image previews only. You can find the full list of
supported file types for Box Content Preview [here][filetypes].

## Browser support

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/browser">Learn more about browser support</Link> for Box UI
element.

## Usage

Box Annotations can be used by pulling from our [NPM
package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/box-annotations).

## Initialization

```js theme={null}
/* global BoxAnnotations */
const boxAnnotations = new BoxAnnotations();
const annotatorConf = boxAnnotations.determineAnnotator(
    options,
    disabledAnnotationTypes
);

// Construct and init annotator
const annotator = new annotatorConf.CONSTRUCTOR(options);

annotator.init(scale);
```

Where `disabledAnnotationTypes` is a string of valid annotation types to
disable. See below for
more details on viewer specific annotation configurations.

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for
authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth
and JWT.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/select")} title="Learn about selecting an authentication method" />

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Annotations functionality, you can use
<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to appropriately
downscope your Access Token to a resulting token that has the desired set of
permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user client
initializing Annotations.

Below are a set of new Annotation-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping.
These allow developers to enable/disable functionality on Box
Annotations by configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To
learn more, see <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/scopes">Dedicated scopes for the Box UI
Elements</Link>.

## Enabling/Disabling Annotations and Annotation Types

Annotation types can be selectively turned off through preview options. Viewer
options override global `showAnnotations` value, for that viewer. See <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview">Box
Content Preview</Link> for more details on how to
set up the Preview instances that are used with Box Annotations here.

```js theme={null}
preview.show(..., {
    showAnnotations: Boolean
});
```

Combined with the following:

```js theme={null}
preview.show(..., {
    viewers: {
        VIEWER_NAME: {
            annotations: {
                enabled: Boolean,
                enabledTypes: String[] | null
            }
        }
    }
});
```

This turns the annotations on if `enabled` is set to `true`. This respects the
`showAnnotations` value if empty. The `enabledTypes` value is a list of
annotation types to enable for this viewer. If empty, will respect default types
for that annotator.

### Example

Enable all annotations, turn off for Image Viewers, and enable only point
annotations on Document viewer:

```js theme={null}
preview.show(fileId, token, {
    showAnnotations: true,
    viewers: {
        Image: {
            annotations: {
                enabled: false
            }
        },
        Document: {
            annotations: {
                enabled: true,
                enabledTypes: ["point"]
            }
        }
    }
});
```

## Annotators

The name of an annotator can be one of the following `DocAnnotator` or
`ImageAnnotator`. Call `boxAnnotations.getAnnotators()` to get the list of
possible annotators.

## Additional Methods

* `annotator.init()` initializes the annotator.
* `annotator.isModeAnnotatable(/* String */ type)` returns whether or not the current annotation mode is enabled for the current viewer/annotator.
* `annotator.showModeAnnotateButton(/* String */ currentMode)` shows the annotate button for the specified annotation mode.
* `annotator.getAnnotateButton(/* String */ annotatorSelector)` gets the annotation button element.
* `annotator.showAnnotations()` fetches and shows saved annotations.
* `annotator.hideAnnotations()` hides annotations.
* `annotator.hideAnnotationsOnPage(/* number */ pageNum)` hides annotations on a specified page.
* `annotator.setScale()` sets the zoom scale.
* `annotator.toggleAnnotationHandler()` toggles annotation modes on and off. When an annotation mode is on, annotation threads will be created at that location.
* `annotator.disableAnnotationMode(/* String */ mode, /* HTMLElement */ buttonEl)` disables the specified annotation mode.
* `annotator.enableAnnotationMode(/* String */ mode, /* HTMLElement */ buttonEl)` enables the specified annotation mode.
* `annotator.getAnnotatedEl(/* HTMLElement */ containerEl)` determines the annotated element in the viewer.
* `annotator.createAnnotationThread(/* Annotation[] */ annotations, /* Object */ location, /* String */ [annotation type])` creates the proper type of annotation thread, adds it to the in-memory map, and returns it.

## Events

Events can be bound to the annotator object with `addListener` and removed with
`removeListener`. Event listeners should be bound before `showAnnotations()` is
called, otherwise events can be missed.

```js theme={null}
/* global BoxAnnotations */
const boxAnnotations = new BoxAnnotations();
const annotatorConf = boxAnnotations.determineAnnotator(
    options,
    disabledAnnotationTypes
);

// Construct and init annotator
const annotator = new annotatorConf.CONSTRUCTOR(options);
var listener = value => {
    // Do something with value
};

// Attach listener before calling show otherwise events can be missed
annotator.addListener(EVENTNAME, listener);

// Initialize a annotator
annotator.showAnnotations();

// Remove listener when appropriate
annotator.removeListener(EVENTNAME, listener);
```

`EVENTNAME` can be one of the following

* `annotator` event will be triggered when we have the annotator instance first available. Box Annotations trigger this event before `load` so that clients can attach their listeners before the `load` event is triggered from Box Content Preview.
* `annotationsfetched` event will be triggered when annotations have been fetched from the Box API.
* `annotationmodeenter` event will be triggered on when an annotation mode is entered. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  // Annotation mode that was entered
  mode: 'point',
  // Optional CSS selector for the container's header
  headerSelector: '.bp-preview-header',
}
```

`annotationmodeexit` event will be triggered on when an annotation mode is exited.
The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  // Annotation mode that was exited
  mode: 'point',
  // Optional CSS selector for the container's header
  headerSelector: '.bp-preview-header',
}
```

`annotationerror` event will be triggered when an annotation error has occurred.
The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  message: 'message', // Error message to show
}
```

`annotationpending` event will be triggered when an annotation thread was created
but has not yet been saved on the server. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationthreadsaved` event will be triggered when an annotation thread was saved
on the server. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationthreaddeleted` event will be triggered when an annotation thread was
deleted on the server. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationsaved` event will be triggered when an annotation is added and saved to
an existing annotation thread on the server. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationdeleted` event will be triggered when an annotation is deleted from an
existing thread on the server. The entire annotation thread is not deleted. The
event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationcanceled` event will be triggered when an annotation is canceled from
posting on either a new or existing thread. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationdeleteerror` event will be triggered when an error occurs while deleting
an annotation on either a new or existing thread. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotationcreateerror` event will be triggered when an error occurs while posting
an annotation on either a new or existing thread. The event data will contain:

```js theme={null}
{
  data: {
    type: 'point', // Annotation type
    threadID: '123abc',
    userId: '456def',
    threadNumber: '1' // Thread number from Annotations API
  }
}
```

`annotatorevent` Each annotator will trigger its own sets of events. For example,
the Image Annotator will trigger `rotate` or `resize`, etc. while other annotator
may trigger another set of events. The Annotator wrapper will also re-emit events
at the Preview level in Box Content Preview, with event data containing:

```js theme={null}
{
  event: EVENTNAME,             // Event name
  data: DATA,                   // Event data object
  annotatorName: ANNOTATORNAME, // Name of the annotator
  fileVersionId: fileVersionId  // The file version id
  fileId: fileId                // The file id
}
```

### Example event usage

```js theme={null}
preview.addListener("annotator", viewer => {
    annotator.addListener("annotationsfetched", () => {
        // Do something when annotations are fetched on a preview
    });
});

// Event listeners can be attached to viewers
preview.addListener("load", data => {
    var viewer = data.viewer;
    viewer.addListener("annotationsfetched", () => {
        // Do something when annotations are fetched on a preview
    });
});

// Event listeners can be attached to annotators
preview.addListener("load", data => {
    var annotator = data.viewer.annotator;
    annotator.addListener("annotationsfetched", () => {
        // Do something when annotations are fetched on a preview
    });
});

preview.addListener("annotatorevent", data => {
    if (data.event === "annotationsfetched") {
        // Do something when annotations are fetched on a preview
    } else if (data.event === "annotationerror") {
        // Do something different when an annotation error has occurred
    } else {
    }
});

preview.addListener("annotatorevent", data => {
    if (data.viewerName === "Image") {
        if (data.event === "annotationsfetched") {
            // Do something when annotations are fetched on an image preview
        }
    } else if (data.viewerName === "MultiImage") {
        if (data.event === "annotationsfetched") {
            // Do something different when annotations are fetched on a multi-page image
        }
    } else {
    }
});

preview.addListener("annotationsfetched", data => {
    if (data.viewerName === "Image") {
        // Do something when annotations are fetched on an image preview
    } else if (data.viewerName === "MultiImage") {

# Box Edit Custom Domains
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/custom-domains



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

In order to integrate a third party web application with Box Tools, you will
need to explicitly add your application's URL. On Windows, this is achieved by
adding a registry key. On MacOS, you will need to run few terminal commands to
add and remove domains.

<Info>
  Adding domains to a safelist was added in **Box Tools version 4.5.0**.
</Info>

## Safelisting on Windows

Before starting the domain safelisting installation, please download the
required scripts from the provided `.rar`
[here](https://cloud.box.com/s/kvc9cysgq1y2yldpvciwlpt7093ho78l).

### Per User Installation

Open `Add_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg` in a text editor.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  Additional entries can be added on a new line.
</Info>

Close the file (save changes), open a command prompt with admin privileges, and
navigate to the .reg file and type the following command.

```sh theme={null}
reg import "Add_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg"
```

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

### Per Machine Installation

Open the following file in a text editor:

* `x64`: `Per Machine\64 bit\Add_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg`
* `x86`: `Per Machine\32 bit\Add_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg`

Replace the placeholder domain with the domain you would like allow.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

<Info>
  Additional entries may be added on a new line.
</Info>

Close the file (save changes), open a  command prompt with admin privileges, and
navigate the .reg file and type the following command:

```sh theme={null}
reg import "Add_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg"
```

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

Restart the Windows service: **Box Local Com Service** (`Box Edit.exe`) using
one of the following methods.

#### Via the command prompt

In a command prompt, enter:

* `net stop "Box Local Com Service"`
* `net start "Box Local Com Service"`

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

#### Via the UI

Press `Windows + R` and type `services.msc`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

Restart `Box Edit.exe` by finding `Box Edit` in the system tray.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

Right click and select **Quit**.

Open `%programfiles%\Box\Box Edit` and run `Box Edit.exe`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Tools" />
</Frame>

### Removing

* Run `Remove_ALL_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg` to remove all domains at once
* Run `Remove_OpenWith_WhiteListed_Domain.reg` to remove specific domains. Use the instructions above to add domains to this .reg, which will remove domains.

## Safelisting on MacOS

### Steps

Download the bash script
[here](https://cloud.box.com/s/z5qhc7rts6mzrhzfx6cpxeb5ed4ve5u6).

Open the Terminal, go to the folder where the bash script was downloaded, and
add the right permissions by running this command:

```sh theme={null}
chmod u+rx OpenWith.sh
```

To **add** domains, run the following command in a terminal:

```sh theme={null}
./OpenWith.sh -a domain1 domain2 ...
```

To **remove** domains, run the following command in a terminal:

```sh theme={null}
./OpenWith.sh -r domain1 domain2 ...
```

To **clear all** domains, run the following command in a
terminal:

```sh theme={null}
./OpenWith.sh -c
```

To **list** all domains, run the following command in a terminal:

```sh theme={null}
./OpenWith.sh -l
```

### Notes

* When safelisting domains ensure you are entering the domains without the HTTP protocol (for example without `https://`) or any trailing path like `yourdomain.com/page/3`.
* All requests most come from a secure origin via HTTPS.
* Safelisting subdomains and ports is possible as the wildcard `*` is supported. For example, all subdomains could be safelisted by adding `*.yourdomain.com` to your list.

## Uninstalling

When Box Tools is uninstalled, all domains will be removed.

# Customize Logo
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/logo



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

Each of the Box UI Elements allow for specifying a custom logo to place in the
top-left corner of the embedded container.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Custom logo" />
</Frame>

By default, each of the UI Elements uses a generic placeholder as a logo. This
is meant to be replaced by either a Box logo or a custom logo, such as a
company's logo.

To add a logo to a UI Element, supply a URL for a logo as an option in the
Javascript setup code. The following is an example of how to do this with the
Content Preview UI Element.

```js theme={null}
var preview = new Box.Preview();
preview.show(fileId, accessToken, {
    container: '.preview-container',
    sharedLink: 'https://app.box.com/v/foo',
    sharedLinkPassword: 'bar',
    collection: [FILE_ID, '123', '234', ...],
    header: 'light',
    logoUrl: 'https://developer.box.com/images/guides/embed/ui-elements/elements-logo.png',
    showAnnotations: true,
    showDownload: true
});
```

<Info>
  **Box Logo**

  To present the Box logo in a UI Element, specify the string `box` as the
  `logoURL` option.
</Info>

## Image size

Images files will be fitted to a maximum height of 32 pixels and a maximum width
of 80 pixels. Larger images will be shrunk to fit these dimensions.

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED GUIDES" />


# Content Preview
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/preview



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box Content Preview UI Element allows developers to embed high
quality and interactive previews of Box files in their desktop or mobile web
application.

## Content Preview Element vs Content Preview Library

The Content Preview UI Element works differently from the other UI Elements, as the React component is a wrapper for the [Box Content Preview library][previewlib]. It also requires passing a language (defaults to `en-US`) since the preview library bundles are localized.

```js theme={null}
var ContentPreview = require("./ContentPreview").default;

<IntlProvider locale="en">
  <ContentPreview
    contentSidebarProps={{
      detailsSidebarProps: {
        hasAccessStats: true,
        hasClassification: true,
        hasNotices: true,
        hasProperties: true,
        hasRetentionPolicy: true,
        hasVersions: true,
      },
      features: FEATURES,
      hasActivityFeed: true,
      hasMetadata: true,
      hasSkills: true,
      hasVersions: true,
    }}
    hasHeader={true}
    features={FEATURES}
    fileId={FILE_ID}
    token={TOKEN}
    {...PROPS}
  />
</IntlProvider>;
```

The Content Preview Library fetches information
about the file and its converted representations
through the Box API, chooses the appropriate
viewer for the file type, dynamically loads
the necessary static assets and file representations,
and finally renders the file.

This UI Element also allows loading previews of
multiple files in the same container and exposes
arrows to navigate between those files.
It powers Preview in the main Box web application
as well as the <Link href="/reference/resources/file--full/#param-expiring_embed_link">expiring embed link object</Link>.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Authentication

UI Elements are designed in an authentication-agnostic way so whether
they will work for Managed Box Users and non-Box users (App Users). The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/developer-tokens">token</Link> for authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth and JWT.

<Card href={localizeLink("/guides/authentication/select")} title="Learn about selecting an authentication method" />

## Supported File Types

Box Content Preview supports 120+ file types, including most document and image
formats, HD video, 3D models, 360-degree images, and 360-degree videos. You can
find the full list of supported file types [here][filetypes].

<Warning>
  Note that where supported file types contain references to other
  objects, for example `DWG` files, those references are not supported in the
  Box preview. A notice will be displayed to all end users viewing a DWG file
  that contains unsupported references letting them know to take alternate steps
  to complete their workflow.
</Warning>

## Demo

Use the navigation arrows to preview different file types.

<iframe title="Box Content Preview Demo" />

## API

```js theme={null}
const { Preview } = Box;
const preview = new Preview();

/**
 * Shows a preview.
 *
 * @public
 * @param {string} fileId - File ID to preview
 * @param {string} accessToken - Box API access token
 * @param {Object} [options] - Options
 * @return {void}

 * be called when preview's viewport has changed while the window has not.
 * If the window is resizing, then preview will automatically resize itself.
 *
 * @return {void}
 */
preview.resize();

/**

## Token Generator Function

The Preview library optionally takes a token generator function instead of a
string token. Using a token generator function allows you to dynamically
determine what tokens Preview should use. For example, you can pass in different
access tokens for each file or make sure your token is refreshed and valid
before showing a preview. The token generator function should return a promise
that resolves in either a single string token that applies to all of the files
being previewed or a map of typed file IDs to access token for those files.

```js theme={null}
// Example token generator function that resolves to a single access token
var singleTokenGenerator = function () {
  return someApi.getToken().then(function (data) {
    return data.token;
  });
};

// Example token generator function that resolves to a map of tokens
var mapTokenGenerator = function () {
  return Promise.resolve({
    file_1234: "some_token_abcd",
    file_2345: "some_token_bcde",
  });
};
```

## Events

The preview object exposes `addListener` and `removeListener` for binding to
events. Event listeners should be bound before `show()` is called, otherwise
events can be missed.

```js theme={null}
const listener = (value) => {
    // Do something with value
};

// Attach listener before calling show otherwise events can be missed
var preview = new Box.Preview();
preview.addListener(EVENTNAME, listener);

// Show a preview
preview.show(...);

// Remove listener when needed
preview.removeListener(EVENTNAME, listener);
```

`EVENTNAME` can be one of the following:

* `viewer` event will be triggered when we have the viewer instance first available. This will be the same object that is also a property included in the `load` event. Preview triggers this event before `load` so that clients can attach their listeners before the `load` event is triggered.

* `load` event will be triggered on every preview load when `show()` is called or if inter-preview navigation occurs. The event data will contain:

  ```js theme={null}
  error: 'message', // Error message if any error occurred while loading
  viewer: {...},    // Instance of the current viewer object if no error occurred
  metrics: {...},   // Performance metrics
  file: {...}       // Box file object with properties defined in file.js
  ```

* `navigate` event will be triggered when navigation happens. The event includes the file ID of the file being navigated to, and this event will trigger before `load`.

* `notification` event will be triggered when either the preview wrapper or one of the viewers wants to notify something like a warning or non-fatal error. The event data will contain:

  ```js theme={null}
  message: 'message', // Message to show
  type: 'warning'    // 'warning', 'notice', or 'error'
  ```

* `viewerevent` Each viewer will trigger its own sets of events. For example, the Image viewer will trigger `rotate` or `resize`, etc. while other viewers may trigger another set of events. The preview wrapper will also re-emit events at the preview level, with event data containing:

  ```js theme={null}
  event: EVENTNAME,         // Event name
  data: DATA,               // Event data object
  viewerName: VIEWERNAME,   // Name of the viewer. See VIEWERNAME above
  fileId: fileId            // The file ID
  ```

### Example event usage

```js theme={null}
var preview = new Box.Preview();
preview.addListener("viewer", (viewer) => {
  viewer.addListener("rotate", () => {
    // Do something when a viewer rotates a preview
  });
});

preview.addListener("load", (data) => {
  const viewer = data.viewer;
  viewer.addListener("rotate", () => {
    // Do something when a viewer rotates a preview
  });
});

preview.addListener("viewerevent", (data) => {
  if (data.viewerName === "Image") {
    if (data.event === "rotate") {
      // Do something when an image preview is rotated
    }
  } else if (data.viewerName === "Image360") {
    if (data.event === "rotate") {
      // Do something different when a 360-degree image is rotated
    }
  } else {
  }
});

preview.addListener("rotate", (data) => {
  if (data.viewerName === "Image") {
    // Do something when an image preview is rotated
  } else if (data.viewerName === "Image360") {
    // Do something different when a 360-degree image is rotated
  } else {
  }
});
```

## Annotations

You can enable V4 <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/annotations">annotations</Link> in content preview. New
annotations will sync in real time.

To add V4 annotations to preview:

1. Run `npm i box-annotations@latest`to install [box annotations][annotations].

<Warning>
  Box annotations version should be at least major version 4 and up.
</Warning>

2. Run `npm i box-ui-elements@16.0.0` to install [BUIE][buie] version with annotation related change.

<Warning>
  Box UI elements should be the lowest working version that contains
  fully working V4 annotations.
</Warning>

3. Import content preview and box annotations into your application:

   ```js theme={null}
   import boxAnnotations from "https://cdn.skypack.dev/box-annotations@latest";

   var file_id = "YOUR FILE ID";
   var accessToken = "YOUR ACCESS TOKEN";

   /* Enable annotations in sidebar */
   var contentSidebarProps = {
     hasActivityFeed: true,
     features: {
       activityFeed: {
         annotations: {
           enabled: true,
         },
       },
     },
   };

   var options = {
     container: ".previewer",
     contentSidebarProps: contentSidebarProps,

     /* Enable annotations in preview */
     enableAnnotationsDiscoverability: true,
     enableAnnotationsImageDiscoverability: true,
     showAnnotations: true,
     showAnnotationsControls: true,
     showAnnotationsDrawingCreate: true,
   };

   /* BoxAnnotations */
   var annotations = new BoxAnnotations();

   /* Box Preview */
   var contentPreviewer = new Box.ContentPreview();

   /* Set annotation into previewer */
   options["boxAnnotations"] = annotations;

   /* Show previewer */
   contentPreviewer.show(file_id, accessToken, options);
   ```

<Warning>
  The property `features: { activityFeed: { annotations: { enabled: true  } } } }
    ` is subject to change in the future.
</Warning>

```html theme={null}
<link href="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/16.0.0/en-US/preview.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"></link>
<script src="https://cdn01.boxcdn.net/platform/elements/16.0.0/en-US/preview.js"></script>

<style>
  .previewer {
    border: 1px solid #eee;
    height: 500px;
    width: 100%;
  }
</style>

<div class="previewer"></div>

<script type="module" src="./script.js"></script>
```

## Box AI for UI Elements

Box AI for UI Elements enhances the Content Preview UI Element
with additional features, allowing the developers
to add the Box Q\&A AI functionality to their platform app.
Enriched with Box AI features, the Preview UI element brings the following functionality:

* Q\&A and document summaries.
* A **clear conversation** button that resets the conversation with Box AI.
* Citations that appear below the answer if included in the answer.
* Formatting support that allows requesting Markdown-formatted response, including bullet points or tables.
* Question history that allows referencing previous context to achieve the best response possible. The question history is kept only during the current session.
* Suggested questions that appear at the top of the chat by default to assist with the conversation.

### Enable Box AI for UI Elements

To enable the Box AI modal in content preview header, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your Node and React versions are `18.x` or higher.
2. Download the [npm package that contains Box AI for UI Elements][aipackage] or directly from <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Box CDN</Link>.
3. Install the peer dependencies:

   * [`box-ai-content-answers`][box-ai-content-answers]
   * [`blueprint-web`][blueprint-web]
   * [`blueprint-web-assets`][blueprint-web-assets]

   To do so, run the following command:

   ```sh theme={null}
   npx install-peerdeps box-ui-elements@^22.0.0
   ```

### Using JavaScript

To enable Box AI features, pass the following:

* `hasHeader` prop set to `true`,
* `contentAnswersProps` prop. The fields `show`, `isCitationsEnabled`, `isMarkdownEnabled`, `isResetChatEnabled` and `suggestedQuestions` are included by default.

```js theme={null}
const preview = new Box.Preview();
const suggestedQuestions = [
 {
   label: 'What are the key takeaways?',
   prompt: 'What are the key takeaways?',
   id: '1234',
 },
 {
   label: 'Summarize this document',
   prompt: 'Summarize this document',
   id: '5678',
 },
];

preview.show(<FILE_ID>, <TOKEN>, {
    container: '.preview-container',
    contentAnswersProps={
      show: true,
      isCitationsEnabled: true,
      isMarkdownEnabled: true,
      isResetChatEnabled: true,
      suggestedQuestions
    }
    hasHeader: true,
});
```

### Using React component

You can also add Box AI element to a header in a React component.
To do so, add:

* `hasHeader` prop set to `true`,
* `contentAnswersProps` prop. The fields `show`, `isCitationsEnabled`, `isMarkdownEnabled`, `isResetChatEnabled` and `suggestedQuestions` are included by default.

<Note>
  To localize the `suggestedQuestions` properly, make sure that the prompts are translated. The optional `label` property is for screen readers, while the `prompt` property is the text displayed to the user in the AI modal.
</Note>

```js theme={null}
import ContentPreview from 'box-ui-elements/es/elements/content-preview';
import { IntlProvider } from "react-intl";

const suggestedQuestions = [
  {
    label: 'Key takeaways',
    prompt: 'What are the key takeaways from this document?',
    id: '1234',
  },
  {
    label: 'Summarize',
    prompt: 'Summarize this document',
    id: '5678',
  },
];

export default () => {
    // Storing variables in the front end is not secure.
    // You will want to grab this value from a database for production
    const TOKEN = process.env.REACT_APP_BOX_DEVELOPER_TOKEN
    const FILE_ID = process.env.REACT_APP_BOX_PREVIEW_FILE_ID
    return (
      <IntlProvider locale="en">
         <ContentPreview 
            contentAnswersProps={{
              show: true,
              isCitationsEnabled: true,
              isMarkdownEnabled: true,
              isResetChatEnabled: true,
              suggestedQuestions
            }}
            fileId={FILE_ID}
            token={TOKEN}
            hasHeader=true
         />
      </IntlProvider>
  );
};
```

You can further customize your apps using the following event listeners for Content Preview available with this release: `onAsk`, `onClearConversations`, and `onRequestClose`.

## Scopes

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Content Preview functionality, you can use <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to
appropriately downscope the Access Token to a resulting token that has the
desired set of permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user
client initializing the Content Preview.

Below is a set of UI Element-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping. These
allow developers to enable/disable UI controls on the Content Preview by
configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To learn
more, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Dedicated Scopes for Box UI Elements</Link>.

### Base Scope

| Scope Name     | Permissions granted                               |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `base_preview` | Allows the user to preview the file, nothing else |

### Feature Scopes

| Scope Name             | Permissions granted                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `item_download`        | Allows downloading/printing the content from the generated preview                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| `annotation_edit`      | Allows users to edit annotations (delete). Note: For highlight annotations to work, the text layer on the document needs to be enabled for the user. Text layer is disabled for all users that don't have download permissions on the file. To enable highlight annotations for a user, please ensure they have download permissions on the file. |
| `annotation_view_all`  | Allows users to view all users' annotations.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| `annotation_view_self` | Allows users to view their own annotations only.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |

<Info>
  **Enable highlight annotations with scopes The highlight scope is not included**
  with `annotation_edit` and `annotation_view_all` scopes. The downscoped access
  token will need to include the `item_download` scope to enable highlighting.

# Dedicated Scopes
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/scopes



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

When working with Box UI Elements many developers have shown interest in being
able to implement their own permission model, different from [Access
Levels][acl] defined by Box.

<Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link>, also known as Token Exchange, is our mechanism by
which developers can restrict the permissions on the Access Token to a more
granular level, allowing them to build out their own permissions model on Box
Platform.

## Scopes & UI Elements

To facilitate this process we've created a new set of API scopes that allow
developers to control which UI controls are available to end
users in applications leveraging UI Element.

The Box UI Element has been designed to respect the permission enforced via
these scopes, so UI controls are turned on or off automatically depending on
whether or not the token allows the corresponding functionality or not.

Another advantage of these new scopes is that since the tokens are scoped to the
precise set of operations that the application wants the end user to have access
to, a savvy end user won't have any more access directly through the API using
the token. This allows you to make your application more secure.

## Scope principles

The new scopes have been designed keeping the following fundamentals in mind:

* **All scopes should be modular and strictly additive:** So a developer can combine multiple scopes in a token exchange request to generate a token with the desired set of functionality. Also to avoid confusion, two scopes should never have the same permission.
* **Scopes should directly map to a specific action in the UI Element:** So adding this scope to the token enables the specific action. Since some actions can only be performed by specific UI Elements, some scopes may only be meaningfully applicable to those UI Elements.
* **Scope should contain the minimum set of permissions required to perform the corresponding action:** So even if some end-user of your application uses the token directly against the API, they can't gain access beyond what you intended them to provide through the UI Element.
* **Every UI Element should have a "base scope" that encapsulates all required permissions for the UI Element to functionally work:** Any fewer permissions on the token and the basic set of operations on the UI Element won't work. This scope should always be included in the Token Exchange request.

With that said, for every UI Element, we are adding two types of scopes:

### Base Scope

Every UI Element has a "base scope", which provides the least
set of permissions that are necessary for the UI Element to functionally work.
For this reason, this "base scope" must always be present in the token exchange
request. Since the base set of permissions for every UI Element to functionally
work may not be the same (Content Uploader UI Element doesn't require preview
permissions, for example), UI Elements may have their own respective base
scopes.

### Feature Scopes

In addition to the base scope, we also introduced
feature-level scopes. Upon pairing with base scopes, feature scopes enable
additional capabilities within your UI Element, and provide the user with
permissions to perform the actions prescribed by the feature scope(s) added to
their down-scoped token. As with base scopes, feature scopes too are mostly
different for every UI Element. Since feature scopes are strictly additive, you
can assume (unless noted otherwise in the documentation) that providing a user
with access to a scope only gives them permission to perform the corresponding
action and nothing else.

Now that you understand what Base Scopes and Feature Scopes are, refer to the
documentation for each of the UI Elements to learn more about their dedicated
scopes.

# Content Sidebar
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/sidebar



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box Content Sidebar UI Element allows developers to add support for viewing
file related metadata and Activity Feed (incl. versions,
comments and tasks) in their desktop or mobile web application.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for
authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth
and JWT.

      var fileId = "123";
      var accessToken = "abc";

      // At least one of the sub-sidebars (details, activity feed, skills, metadata) need to be turned on for something to render. Details is iteself further divided into notices, properties, access stats and versions, one of which need to be enabled for the details sidebar to render.
      var sidebar = new Box.ContentSidebar();
      sidebar.show(fileId, accessToken, {
        container: ".container",
        detailsSidebarProps: {
          hasNotices: true,
          hasProperties: true,

## Scopes

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Content Sidebar's functionality, you can use <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to
appropriately downscope the Access Token to a resulting token that has the
desired set of permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user
client initializing the Content Sidebar.

Below are a set of UI Element-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping. These
allow developers to enable/disable UI controls on the Content Sidebar by
configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To learn
more, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Dedicated Scopes for Box UI Elements</Link>.

### Base Scope

| Scope Name     | Permissions granted                                            |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `base_sidebar` | Allows the user to get basic file info needed for the sidebar. |

### Feature Scopes

| Scope Name     | Permissions granted                     |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `item_comment` | Allows adding and editing comments.     |
| `item_rename`  | Allows editing of file description.     |
| `item_upload`  | Allows editing of file metadata.        |
| `item_task`    | Allows creating and resolving of tasks. |

# Theming & styling for Box UI Elements
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/theming-styling



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

With theming & styling for Box UI Elements you can customize the look
of the embedded Box component to your enterprise's requirements.

<Note>
  As of now, [theming & styling][blog] is available for Content
  Explorer and Content Uploader.
</Note>

## How to start

Add the selected Box component to your application. The default Box theme is applied.

## Customization

Box uses <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/ui-elements-design-tokens">design tokens</Link> for the customization purposes.

<Note>
  Design tokens are named entities that store specific visual attributes, such
  as colors, spacing, typography, scale, and many more.
  They are used instead of hard-coded values to simplify sharing design
  properties across platforms, tools, and components.
</Note>

You can change the following elements in your embedded Box component.

### Colors

Customize:

* global color palette - select the primary, secondary, and accent colors
* state colors - select color for states such as hover, focus, active, disabled
* component-specific colors - for example, you can select different colors for your buttons depending on their type

- gradients - choose and adjust a gradient as your background or other components
- opacity - adjust the opacity of the overlay effects for Box Modals and side panels

### Typography

Customize:

* text decoration - underline, strikethrough, letter spacing
* line heights and paragraph spacing

### Border, radius

Choose:

* border styling - width, styles, and colors
* border radius

### Spacing

Choose:

* global spacing
* component-specific spacing
* component-specific alignment and distribution, for example justify-content

### Shadows and elevation

Define:

* shadow presets
* custom shadows

### Interactive states

Customize:

* hover, active, focus, disabled, and error states - visual effect such as changed background color
* transitions and animations

### Component-level overrides

Customize text input, drop down, and checkboxes with individual color

### Icons

Style interactive icons such as buttons or drop downs.

<Note>
  To replace non-interactive icons such as file or folder icons with your custom ones, use inline SVGs in CSS.
  To change non-interactive icons color, height, and width, use CSS.
</Note>

See the implemented examples of custom icons in CodePen:

<iframe title="Box custom icons" />

### Miscellaneous

Style:

* help text and labels
* tool tips

# UI Elements design tokens
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/ui-elements-design-tokens



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

This table shows all the design tokens you can use for <Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/theming-styling">theming and styling</Link> purposes. Provided default values and descriptions give clarity and guidance for implementation.

## Token structure

There are two ways to provide tokens to the theme object in Content Explorer:
flatten structure using full token names and nested structure using shortened
names.
The latter allows you to group tokens, which might improve the readability of your customization, but both produce the same results.

### Example

Flatten structure:

```js theme={null}
const theme = {
    tokens: {
        "body-default-font-size": "14px",
        "body-default-font-weight": "400"
        "body-default-text-decoration": "none",
        "body-default-bold-line-height": "20px",
    }
};
```

Nested structure:

```js theme={null}
const theme = {
    tokens: {
        Body: {
            Default: {
                "font-size": "14px",
                "font-weight": "400",
                "text-decoration": "none",
            }
            "Default Bold": {
                "line-height": "20px",
            }
        }
    }
};
```

## Border colors

<Note>
  You can pass any CSS color value, like hexadecimal colors, RGB, cross-browser color names, and so on.

# Content Uploader
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/uploader



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

The Box Content Uploader UI Element allows developers to embed an upload widget
in their desktop or mobile web application. Users can select files or use drag
and drop to upload. Large files will be uploaded with the <Link href="/reference/post-files-upload-sessions">Chunked
Upload</Link> API.

## Installation

<Link href="/guides/embed/ui-elements/installation">Learn how to install</Link> Box UI elements
either through NPM or the Box CDN.

## Authentication

The UI Elements are designed in an authentication agnostic way so whether
you are using UI Elements for users who have Box accounts (Managed Users) or
non-Box accounts (App Users), UI Elements should work out of the box. The
reason for this is that UI Elements only expect a "token" to be passed in for
authentication, and Box provides two different ways to generate tokens - OAuth
and JWT.

### Uploader as popup

<iframe title="Box File Picker and Uploader as popups" />

<Info>
  **Access Token**

  These demos may not fully function until you provide a valid access token. For
  testing purposes, you can use your temporary developer token. This will need
  to be updated under the JS tab in the demo.
</Info>

## API

```js theme={null}
const { ContentUploader } = Box;
const uploader = new ContentUploader();

/**
 * Shows the content uploader.
 *
 * @public
 * @param {String} folderId - Folder ID to upload to.
 * @param {String} accessToken - Box API access token.
 * @param {Object|void} [options] - Optional options.
 * @return {void}
 */
uploader.show(folderId, accessToken, options);

/**
 * Hides and clears HTML for the uploader.
 *
 * @public
 * @return {void}
 */
uploader.hide();

/**
 * Adds an event listener to the content uploader.
 * Listeners should be added before calling show()
 * so no events are missed.
 *
 * @public
 * @param {String} eventName Name of the event.
 * @param {Function} listener Callback function.
 * @return {void}
 */
uploader.addListener(eventName, listener);

/**
 * Removes an event listener from the content uploader.
 *
 * @public
 * @param {String} eventName Name of the event.
 * @param {Function} listener Callback function.
 * @return {void}
 */
uploader.removeListener(eventName, listener);

/**
 * Removes all event listeners from the content uploader.

 * @public
 * @return {void}
 */
uploader.removeAllListeners();

## Scopes

If your application requires the end user to only be able to access a subset of
the Content Uploader functionality, you can use <Link href="/guides/authentication/tokens/downscope">Downscoping</Link> to
appropriately downscope the Access Token to a resulting token that has the
desired set of permissions, and can thus, be securely passed to the end user
client initializing the Content Uploader.

Below are a set of UI Element-specific scopes to go alongside Downscoping. These
allow developers to enable/disable UI controls on the Content Uploader by
configuring the appropriate scopes on the downscoped token. To learn
more, see <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">Dedicated Scopes for Box UI Elements</Link>.

### Base Scope

| Scope Name    | Permissions granted                                                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `base_upload` | Allows upload into the folder specific under "resource" of the Token Exchange request. |

### Sample Scenarios

| Scenario                                   | Scopes        |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------- |
| User wants to upload files to a Box folder | `base_upload` |

# Preview - Viewers & Events
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/embed/ui-elements/viewers-and-events



<RelatedLinks title="REQUIRED GUIDES" />

This page describes the preview experience for each file type. It also lists the
events you can listen for by viewer type.

## Text Viewer

The text viewer renders previews of text files. For code files like `py` or
`rb`, it uses [`highlight.js`](https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js) to add
syntax highlighting.

### Behavior

The text viewer displays the first 192 KB of text in the file. Additional text is
truncated and a notification and download button are appended to the bottom of
the preview.

Re-sizing the viewer window will reflow the text to fit the available space and
the zoom in and out buttons will increase and decrease font size respectively.

This viewer supports printing and will attempt to print with appropriate syntax
highlighting when either `print()` is invoked or the print button is pressed.
Note that printing large files may cause some browsers to freeze for a few
seconds.

### Controls

* Zoom In
* Zoom Out
* Fullscreen: can be exited with the escape key

### Supported File Extensions

`as`, `as3as`, `asmas`, `batas`, `cas`, `ccas`, `cmakeas`, `cppas`, `csas`,
`cssas`, `cxxas`, `diffas`, `erbas`, `groovyas`, `has`, `hamlas`, `hhas`,
`htmas`, `htmlas`, `javaas`, `jsas`, `lessas`, `mas`, `makeas`, `mdas`, `mlas`,
`mmas`, `phpas`, `plas`, `plistas`, `propertiesas`, `pyas`, `rbas`, `rstas`,
`sassas`, `scalaas`, `scriptas`, `scmas`, `smlas`, `sqlas`, `shas`, `vias`,
`vimas`, `webdocas`, `xhtmlas`, `yaml`,

### Events

## 360 Video Viewer

The 360 video viewer renders a preview of a video stored as an equirectangular
projection (often recorded with a 360 camera).

### Behavior

This viewer gives you an interactive view of the 360 degree video.

### Controls

* Change the view direction with the left mouse button (single touch on touch-enabled device).

### VR button

When using a browser that supports WebVR and a suitable VR device is attached to
your computer, a VR button will be available to allow toggling in and out of VR
mode.

### Limitations

Currently, this previewer requires that the file be named with a `.360`
preceding the file extension. This is so that Preview SDK knows to run this
viewer rather than the standard video preview.

### Supported File Extensions

`360.3g2`, `360.3gp`, `360.avi`, `360.m2v`, `360.m2ts`, `360.m4v`, `360.mkv`,
`360.mov`, `360.mp4`, `360.mpeg`, `360.mpg`, `360.mts`, `360.qt`, `360.wmv`

### Events

The 360 video viewer triggers the following events.

| Event Name     | Explanation                            | Event Data                                               |

| `load`         | The preview loads                      | 1. `{string}` **`error`** (optional): error message      |
|                |                                        | 2. `{object}` **`file`**: current file                   |
|                |                                        | 3. `{object}` **`metrics`**: information from the logger |
|                |                                        | 4. `{object}` **`viewer`**: current viewer               |

| `resize`       | The preview resizes                    | 1. `{number}` **`height`**: window height                |
|                |                                        | 2. `{number}` **`width`**: window width                  |

## SWF Viewer

The SWF viewer uses [`SWFObject`](https://github.com/swfobject/swfobject) to embed
SWF files.

### Behavior

If the user has the Adobe Flash Player plugin, `SWFObject` will embed the SWF file
and allow the plugin to render relevant content.

Note that all network requests made by the flash content will be blocked due to
security constraints, so any content that requires network connectivity will not
be rendered.

### Supported File Extensions

* `swf`

### Events

The SWF viewer triggers the following events.

| Event Name     | Explanation                            | Event Data                                               |

## Presentation viewer

The presentation viewer renders previews of PowerPoint files.

### Behavior

The presentation viewer remembers which slide you were viewing upon closing the
preview. The next time that file is opened, you will immediately be brought to
that slide. Scrolling the mouse up and down, or swiping up and down on mobile
will transition between slides. Zooming in or out will increase or decrease the
size of the slide respectively. If the zoom level causes the content to
overflow, scrolling the mouse will allow you to scroll around the slide. To
return to normal scrolling behavior, the user must zoom out until the overflow
is removed.

### Controls

* Zoom In
* Zoom Out
* Set Page: either with the up and down arrows, or by clicking the page number and entering text
* Fullscreen: can be exited with the escape key

### Supported File Extensions

`ppt`, `pptx`, `odp`

## Markdown Viewer

The Markdown viewer uses
[`Remarkable`](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/remarkable) to parse markdown
files and [`highlight.js`](https://github.com/isagalaev/highlight.js) to add
syntax highlighting to code blocks contained within.

### Behavior

The Markdown viewer parses the first 192KB of raw markdown in the file and
renders it using GitHub's Markdown style. Additional content is truncated and a
notification along with a download button are appended to the bottom of the
preview.

The viewer supports
[GitHub Flavored
Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown/) including
tables, syntax highlighting, and automatic URL linking.

Re-sizing the viewer window will reflow the markdown to fit the available space.
Also, this viewer supports printing and will attempt to print the parsed
markdown and with syntax highlighting on code when either `print()` is invoked
or the print button is pressed. Note that printing large files may cause some
browsers to freeze for a few seconds.

### Controls

* Fullscreen (can be exited with the escape key)

### Supported File Extensions

`md`

## `Model3D` viewer

The `Model3D` viewer renders previews of 3D model files and allows you to enable
different rendering modes to inspect various aspects of the model, for example
wireframe, texture coordinates, and more. Animation data is also supported for
files that contain it (for example `box3d`, `fbx`, `dae`).

### Behavior

The `Model3D` viewer gives you an interactive view of the model. The left mouse
button allows you to orbit about the model (single touch on touch-enabled
device). Double-clicking somewhere on the model allows you to change orbit
focus.

### Controls

* Zoom (change distance to the model) with the mouse wheel (or two-finger scroll on a touch-enabled device).
* Pan (lateral movement) with the right mouse button (or three-finger swipe on a touch-enabled device).
* Animation Selection: If the model that is being viewed contains animations, two animation buttons will be visible in the toolbar. The first allows you to play and pause the animation and the second allows the selection of the current animation.
* VR button: If using a browser that supports WebVR and a suitable VR device is attached to your computer, the VR button will allow toggling in and out of VR mode.

### Settings

Settings are available through the cog icon in the preview toolbar.

* Render Mode: Lit, Unlit, Normal, Shape, UV Overlay
* Toggle Wireframe
* Toggle Skeleton
* Camera Projection: Perspective, Orthographic
* Render Quality: Auto, Full
* Rotate Model: X, Y, Z

## `Box3D` Packages

Preview gives users the ability to view a single file within Box so, by default,
you can't view textures on your model. However, the Box web application gives
users the ability to create a Box3D package that combines all dependent files
into a single file that can be shared and previewed. To do this, right-click the
model file within Box and choose "Create 3D Package". All referenced files found
within Box will be included in the resulting package.

### Supported File Extensions

`box3d`, `fbx`, `dae`, `3ds`, `obj`, `stl`, `ply`

## 360 Image viewer

The 360 image viewer renders a preview of an image stored as an equirectangular
projection (often taken with a 360 camera).

### Behavior

This viewer gives you an interactive view of a 360 degree image. First, a low
resolution version of the image is loaded to give a quick view before the full
resolution image is finished loading. Clicking and dragging with the left mouse
button will change the view direction (single touch and drag on touch-enabled
device).

### Controls

* Fullscreen (can be exited with the escape key)
* VR Button: When using a browser that supports WebVR and a suitable VR device is attached to your computer, a VR button will be available to allow toggling in and out of VR mode.

### Limitations

Currently, this previewer requires that the file be named with a '.360'
preceding the file extension. This is so that Preview SDK knows to run this
viewer rather than the standard image viewer.

### Supported File Extensions

`360.jpg`, `360.jpeg`, `360.png`, `360.ai`, `360.bmp`, `360.dcm`, `360.eps`,
`360.gif`, `360.ps`, `360.psd`, `360.svg`, `360.svs`, `360.tga`, `360.tif`,
`360.tiff`

### Events

The 360 image viewer triggers the following events.

## `<iframe>` viewer

The `<iframe>` viewer embeds a frame to show content rendered from an external
source.

### Behavior

The `<iframe>` viewer is used for previews of Box Notes.

Box Notes has full-featured viewers within the main Box Web
Application, but these full viewers are not initialized when users navigate from
previews of other files that may be in the same directory as the Notes
files. In this situation, the `<iframe>` viewer embeds a view-only render of
the Box Note file.

### Supported File Extensions

`boxnote`

### Events

The `<iframe>` viewer triggers the following events.

| Event Name     | Explanation                            | Event Data                                               |

## DASH viewer

The DASH viewer renders previews for video files using [`Shaka Player`][shaka].

### Behavior

The DASH viewer uses a black background to create a more native viewing
experience. Video is streamed in chunks of bytes at an initial quality
determined automatically. Volume can be muted or unmuted by clicking the volume
icon, or changed by dragging the volume scrubber. The position of the video can
be changed by clicking or dragging the playback scrubber.

### Controls

* Play/Pause
* Volume
* Settings
* Fullscreen (can be exited with the escape key)

### Settings

Settings are available through the cog icon in the preview toolbar.

* Video Speed: `0.25`, `0.5`, normal (`1`), `1.25`, `1.5`, `2.0`
* Video Quality: `480p`, `1080p`, `auto`

### Supported File Extensions

`3g2`, `3gp`, `avi`, `m2v`, `m2ts`, `m4v`, `mkv`, `mov`, `mp4`, `mpeg`, `mpg`,
`ogg`, `mts`, `qt`, `wmv`

## CSV viewer

The CSV viewer uses [`PapaParse`](https://github.com/mholt/PapaParse) to parse
CSV and TSV files and [`React Virtualized`][reactv] to display the parsed data
in a table.

### Behavior

Resizing the viewer window will cause the table to resize, and the zoom in and
out buttons will increase and decrease font size respectively. Currently, column
and row sizes are fixed and overflowing text will be truncated.

This viewer does not support printing.

### Controls

* Zoom In
* Zoom Out
* Fullscreen (can be exited with the escape key)

### Supported File Extensions

`csv`, `tsv`

# iOS
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/mobile/ios/index



The [Box iOS SDK][ios-sdk] provides native access to the Box API from
within your iOS project.

[ios-sdk]: https://github.com/box/box-ios-sdk


# Configure a platform app
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/mobile/ios/quick-start/configure-box-app



<ProgressBar />

To start making authenticated API calls to the Box API with the **Box iOS SDK**, an **Access Token** will be needed. The simplest way to generate a valid
token is to generate a new **platform app** and manually generate a short lived developer token.

The developer token is generated through the developer console UI and will be
valid for one hour before having to be manually refreshed.

## Set up a Box app

<Grid>
  <Choose>
    # Create a new Box app

    Create and configure a new Box JWT application from which a developer
    token may be generated.
  </Choose>

  <Choose>
    # Use an existing app

    Use one of your existing Box JWT applications from the Box developer
    console.
  </Choose>
</Grid>

<Choice>
  # Create a new Box app

  To create a new Box application that may be used to generate a developer
  token, use the following steps.

  1. Go to the [Developer Console][devconsole] > **My Platform Apps**.
  2. Select **Create Platform App**.
  3. Select **Platform App** as the type of application to create, and click **Next**.
  4. Enter the **App Name**, an optional **Description** and **Purpose** of the App. Confirm with **Next**.
  5. Select **User Authentication (OAuth 2.0)** as the authentication method, and click **Create App**
  6. Optionally, scroll to the **Application Scopes** section of the same screen and select any additional permissions you want to enable for this application.
  7. At the top of the page click the button to **Save Changes**.
</Choice>

<Choice>
  # Use an Existing JWT Box application

  If you have an existing JWT based Box application in your
  [developer console][devconsole] that you
  would like to use, skip to the next step.
</Choice>

## Generate a developer token

Now that an application is available, we need to create a developer token that
may be used to authenticate the Box iOS SDK to start making calls to the Box
APIs.

1. Go to the [Developer Console][devconsole]
2. Load the application that you would like to use
3. In the left navigation menu, click on **Configuration**
4. Under **Developer Token**, click the **Generate Developer Token** button
5. Copy the token for the next step to make an API call

## Summary

* You created a new, or are using an existing, Box app
* You have generated and copied the developer token

<Observe>
  <Next>I have a developer token</Next>
</Observe>

# Create an iOS App
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/mobile/ios/quick-start/create-ios-app



<ProgressBar />

Before installing the Box iOS SDK you'll need to have an iOS application
available to add the dependencies into. We'll create a new blank application
now.

## Setup an iOS App

Xcode will be the tool that we use to create and edit our iOS application
during this quick-start guide. If you don't have Xcode, download it now from the
[Apple developer site](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/).

If this is the first application you're creating in Xcode or you already have
application development experience in it, we'll start our integration of the
Box iOS SDK with a new blank application.

1. Start Xcode
2. From the top menu, select **File** -> **New** -> **Project...**
3. Select the option for **Single View App**
   <Frame>
     <img alt="Select iOS application type" />
   </Frame>
4. Enter your application configuration information, including the `Product Name`, `Organization Identifier`, and `Organization Name`.
   <Frame>

With an iOS application in place, you will need to import the required **Box
iOS SDK** dependencies into your project using one of the available package
manager options.

## Select a package manager to use

<Grid>
  <Choose>
    # Carthage

    Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager for Swift
    and Objective-C Cocoa projects. It is open-source and built
    with Swift.
  </Choose>

  <Choose>
    # CocoaPods

    CocoaPods is a centralized dependency manager for Swift and
    Objective-C Cocoa projects. It is open-source and was built
    with Ruby.
  </Choose>

  <Choose>
    # Swift Package Manager

  # Install the iOS SDK using Carthage

  1. From a terminal window, install Carthage: `brew install carthage`. Visit the [Carthage documentation][carthage-docs] for other installation methods.
  2. At the root of your iOS application folder, where the `{APPNAME}.xcodeproj` is located, create a new file named `Cartfile`, without an extension.
  3. Open the `Cartfile` and add the **Box iOS SDK** dependency with `git "https://github.com/box/box-ios-sdk.git" ~> 3.0`, then save and close the file.
  4. From the terminal, in the folder where the `Cartfile` is present, update all dependencies: `carthage update --platform iOS`. A `Cartfile.resolved` file and a `Carthage` directory will be created in the directory.
  5. Within a Finder or File Explorer window load the **Carthage** -> **Build** -> **iOS** directory. This should have a framework file named `BoxSDK.framework`. Keep this window open as we'll use it to add the framework to our project in the next step.
  6. In your Xcode project, click on the name of your application at the top of the project navigator on the left. In the content that displays, click on the name of your project under the **TARGETS** option. Scroll down to **Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content**.
  7. Drag `BoxSDK.framework` from our Finder window over to the frameworks section.

# Make an API call
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/mobile/ios/quick-start/make-api-call



<ProgressBar />

With our Box and iOS applications created and configured with the **Box iOS
SDK** we can now make our first call to Box APIs.

Using our blank iOS application, we will create a button to trigger
a request to Box to fetch the name of the currently authenticated user.

<Warning>
  Using a blocking actions as we use in these examples is slow. In a production
  app these blocking actions would need to be replaced with proper task
  delegation and non-blocking actions.
</Warning>

## Create a button

Within your Swift application in Xcode, load `ContentView.swift`. At the top of
the file you will see a `struct` for `ContentView`, within which is a basic
string that will be output to your iOS application if you run the app in an
emulator.

```swift theme={null}
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
  var body: some View {
    Text("Hello, World!")
  }
}
```

We'll first replace the `Text` output line with a button to be able to trigger
off the call to get the current user. Replace that line with the below button.

```swift theme={null}
Button(action: {
  // Perform some action
}) {
  Text("Click to get current user")
}
.padding(10)
.cornerRadius(20)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.background(Color.blue)
```

Our next step is to add an action for the button which will fetch a user's
details from Box.

## Add an API call button action

When a user clicks the button, we want to fetch the user's details. To achieve
this we need to do two things, add the import for the **Box iOS SDK** and add
the button action to make the call.

At the top of the `ContentView.swift` file, add `import BoxSDK` with the other
import statement.

Next, within the button action, where we currently have a comment placeholder,
add a call to the iOS SDK to fetch the current user. When the API call
completes it will print an authentication message to the developer console. For
ease of implementation, we have a blocking `sleep(5)` call in place in order to
test that the iOS SDK can make calls from our iOS SDK by providing enough time
for the request to complete.

Replace `{{YOUR DEVELOPER TOKEN}}` with your developer token.

```swift theme={null}
let client = BoxSDK.getClient(token: "{{YOUR DEVELOPER TOKEN}}")

client.users.getCurrent(fields:["name", "login"]) { (result: Result<User,
  BoxSDKError>) in
  guard case let .success(user) = result else {
      print("Error getting user information")
      return
  }
  print("Authenticated as \(user.name)")
}

sleep(5)
```

Build and run your sample application in the iOS emulator.

<Warning>
  If you run this code an hour or more after you created the developer
  token in the last step, you will need to revoke and generate a new developer
  token using the same method in the
  <Link href="/guides/mobile/ios/quick-start/configure-box-app">previous step</Link> as the
  developer token will only persist for 60 minutes.
</Warning>

Once the application loads in the emulator you should see the button we
created. Click it to start the API request.

Within the Xcode developer console you should see the API request and response,
with the last line showing the user print statement that we specified.

```bash theme={null}
◁ Status code: 200: no error
◁ Headers:
    ◁ Cache-Control, Value: no-cache, no-store
    ◁ BOX-REQUEST-ID, Value: 1c55151238444132eca16b4c2346d005
    ◁ Transfer-Encoding, Value: Identity
    ◁ content-type, Value: application/json
    ◁ Connection, Value: keep-alive
    ◁ Strict-Transport-Security, Value: max-age=31536000
◁ Body: {"type":"user","id":"123456789","name":"Test
          User","login":"testuser@test.com"}

Authenticated as Optional("Test User")
```

<Note>
  If you don't see the Xcode developer console, from the menu click **View** ->
  **Debug Area** -> **Activate Console**
</Note>

Congratulations, you've now configured the **Box iOS SDK** and have made your
first call to the Box API.

* You added a button to your blank iOS application
* You added a request to fetch the current user using the iOS SDK

# Deep Linking
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/mobile/mobile-deep-linking



Box’s mobile applications support deep linking into folder and file objects.
From a web page or native app it is possible to deep link to open an object
directly in Box.

The following URLs are supported in Box’s mobile applications:

| Application     | Object Type | Deep Link URL                          | iOS & Android |
| --------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------- |
| **Box**         | Folder      | `boxapp://folder?id=[folderid]`        | Version 3.7+  |
|                 | File        | `boxapp://file?id=[fileid]`            |               |

# Postman Collection
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/postman/index



<Link href="https://postman.com">Postman</Link> is a tool that lets you build and test HTTP requests in an
easy-to-use interface without configuring a full development environment.

The **Box Postman Collection** is a set of preconfigured requests that make it
possible to get started with the Box API without having to manually configure
the requests.

## Quickstart

### Step 1: Install Postman

<Link href="https://www.postman.com/downloads/">Download</Link> and install the Postman app for your operating system
(Windows, Mac, or Linux). Optionally,
<Link href="https://identity.getpostman.com/signup">create a Postman account and sign in</Link>.

### Step 2: Configure a Box App

To use the Postman Collection, you need a **Box App** to authenticate
with the Box API. The following examples use OAuth 2.0, but other
authentication methods are available.

1. Go to the <Link href="https://cloud.app.box.com/developers/console">Developer Console</Link>.
2. Either:
   * Select your application and make sure it uses **Standard OAuth 2.0** as the authentication method, or
   * Select **New App**, then enter an **App Name** and select **OAuth 2.0** as the **App Type**.
3. In the **Configuration** tab, scroll to the **OAuth 2.0 Redirect URIs**
   section and set the **Redirect URI** to
   `https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback`.

   <Info>
     If you are using the Postman web app rather than the desktop app, use
     `https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/browser-callback` for all relevant instructions.
   </Info>
4. Scroll to the **Application Scopes** section to select your desired
   <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/scopes">scopes</Link>.
   Your application must have at least one of the following scopes:
   * `Manage users`
   * `Read all files and folders stored in Box`
   * `Read and write all files and folders in Box`
5. At the top of the page, click **Save Changes**.
6. From the **OAuth 2.0 Credentials** section, copy the **Client ID** and
   **Client Secret**.

### Step 3: Log in to Box

Use the **Client ID** and **Client Secret** from the previous step to
authenticate with Box through Postman's OAuth 2.0 flow.

1. In Postman, create a <Link href="https://learning.postman.com/docs/sending-requests/create-requests/request-basics/">new request</Link> or open an existing one.
2. Go to the **Authorization** tab.
3. Set the **Type** to **OAuth 2.0**.
4. If you are using the Postman desktop app, select **Authorize using
   browser**.
5. Fill in the **Configure New Token** fields:

| Field                     | Value                                                                                            |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Token Name**            | Any name, for example `Box Access Token`                                                         |
| **Grant Type**            | `Authorization Code`                                                                             |
| **Callback URL**          | `https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback` (auto-filled when **Authorize using browser** is selected). |
| **Auth URL**              | `https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize`                                                   |
| **Access Token URL**      | `https://api.box.com/oauth2/token`                                                               |
| **Client ID**             | Your app's Client ID from the Developer Console                                                  |
| **Client Secret**         | Your app's Client Secret from the Developer Console                                              |
| **Scope**                 | Leave empty                                                                                      |
| **State**                 | Leave empty                                                                                      |
| **Client Authentication** | `Send client credentials in body`                                                                |

6. Click **Get New Access Token**.
7. A browser window opens where you log in to your Box account and grant the
   app access.
8. Once approved, Postman receives your access token. Select
   **Use Token**.

### Step 4: Fork the Box Postman Collection

Click the button below to fork the **Box Postman Collection** into your
Postman workspace.

<Postman />

It is recommended to fork (rather than copy) the collection so you receive
updates when Box makes changes to it. Once imported, the collection appears
in Postman's left-hand sidebar. You can explore over 170 API endpoints
organized by resource type.

### Step 5: Configure the Box environment

The Box Postman Collection uses environment variables to authenticate API
requests. Before making calls, you need to populate these variables in the
**Box** environment that was imported with the collection.

1. In the lefthand sidebar of Postman, select **Box** from the **Environments** dropdown.
2. Complete the fields as follows:

| Variable        | Value                                               |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `client_id`     | Your app's Client ID from the Developer Console     |
| `client_secret` | Your app's Client Secret from the Developer Console |
| `grant_type`    | `authorization_code`                                |

3. Click **Save**.

4. Next, you need to obtain an authorization `code` and exchange it for an
   access token. To get the code, visit the following URL in your browser,
   replacing `[CLIENT_ID]` with your Client ID:

`https://account.box.com/api/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=[CLIENT_ID]&redirect_uri=https://oauth.pstmn.io/v1/callback
`

5. Log in and grant access. After the redirect, copy the `code` parameter from
   the end of the URL in your browser's address bar. The code expires after
   **30 seconds**, so complete the next steps quickly.
6. Back in Postman, in the Box environment, enter `code` as the **Variable** and paste the code into the **Value** field.
7. Open the **Authorization** folder, select **Refresh access token**, and click **Send**.
8. When successful, the response returns an `access_token` and `refresh_token`. Enter these into your Box environment.

### Step 6: Test your Box environment

1. In the Box Postman Collection, expand the **Folders** folder and select
   **List items in folder**.
2. The `folder_id` defaults to `0` (the root folder). Leave it as-is or
   change it to a specific folder ID.
3. Click **Send**.

The response **Body** tab displays the items in the folder.

<Warning>
  If Postman returns an authentication error, your access token may have
  expired. See <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman/refresh">Refresh an Access
  Token</Link> for details.
</Warning>

## Additional information

* Review the <Link href="https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/overview/">official Postman documentation</Link> from the Postman
  team.
* Learn how to <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman/refresh">refresh an access
  token</Link> to handle token expiration, including automatic refresh.

<RelatedLinks title="RELATED GUIDES" />


# Refresh an Access Token
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/postman/refresh



The Box Postman Collection uses an **Access Token** to authenticate API
requests on your behalf. Access tokens expire after 1 hour and must be
refreshed.

## Using a refresh token

If you configured a **Box App** in
<Link href="/guides/tooling/postman#step-2-configure-a-box-app">step 2</Link> of the Postman
quickstart, your Box environment should contain a valid `client_id` and
`client_secret`. Together with the `refresh_token`, these can be used to
obtain a new `access_token`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="A valid client ID and secret in the Postman environment" />
</Frame>

To refresh the access token, open the **Authorization** folder in the Box
Postman Collection and select **Refresh access token**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="The refresh access token API call in Postman" />
</Frame>

Click **Send**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Postman Send button" />
</Frame>

When successful, your environment is updated with a new `access_token` and
`refresh_token`, and you can resume making API calls.

<Warning>
  Refresh tokens are single-use and expire after 60 days of inactivity. Each
  time you use a refresh token, a new one is issued and the 60-day window
  resets.

  If a refresh token expires, you need to obtain a new token pair by going
  through the <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman">quickstart</Link> again.
</Warning>

## Automatic token refresh

The Box Postman Collection can automatically detect an expired `access_token`
and refresh it before sending your request. This feature is enabled by
default.

To toggle it, edit your Box Postman environment and set the
`enable_auto_refresh_access_token` variable to `true` or `false`.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Box Postman environment variables" />
</Frame>

When enabled, the collection checks whether your `access_token` has expired
before each API call and refreshes it automatically if needed.

## Re-authenticating

If your `refresh_token` has expired, typically because the collection hasn't
been used in over 60 days, you need to re-authenticate by repeating the
<Link href="/guides/tooling/postman">quickstart</Link>.

Before restarting, delete your existing **Box** Postman environment. Click
the **gear** icon in the top right, select your environment, and click
**Delete**.

<Frame>
  <img alt="Delete the Box Postman environment" />
</Frame>

Then follow the <Link href="/guides/tooling/postman">quickstart</Link> from the beginning.

<Warning>
  When re-importing the Box Postman Collection, Postman may ask whether to
  import it as a copy or replace the existing one. Importing as a copy
  preserves any custom changes you have made to API requests.
</Warning>

# Push File to Box
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/salesforce-toolkit/flow-actions/push-file-to-box



The **Push File to Box** Flow action lets Salesforce admins automatically send
files stored in Salesforce (as `ContentVersion` records) to a designated folder
in Box. You can use it to automate file management workflows between
Salesforce and Box.

## Overview

With the Box for Salesforce integration, you can use Flow Builder to automate
file transfers from Salesforce to Box. The **Push File to Box** action is an
invocable Flow action that:

* Uploads files from Salesforce to Box.
* Associates files with a specific Box folder.
* Supports automation through record-triggered or screen flows.

This is useful for scenarios such as:

* Uploading attachments from Salesforce records into Box automatically.
* Automating document storage for compliance or collaboration.
* Syncing files as part of business workflows.

## Prerequisites

Before you use this action, make sure that:

* Box for Salesforce is [installed and configured][sf-install].
* A Box service account is connected.
* Users are authenticated with Box.
* A Box root folder and folder mapping are configured.
* The connected app is configured as described in the [Box Sign Sync in Salesforce setup guide][sf-connected-app].

## How it works

The **Push File to Box** action takes a Salesforce file and uploads it to
Box. Internally:

1. Salesforce stores files as `ContentVersion` records.
2. The Flow action retrieves the file data.
3. The file is uploaded to a specified Box folder.
4. The file becomes available in Box for collaboration and storage.

The action supports files up to 25 MB and includes built-in retry handling
for rate limits.

## Create a flow using Push File to Box

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create or open the flow">
    1. In Salesforce, navigate to **Setup → Flows**.
    2. Click **New Flow**.
    3. Choose a flow type:
       * **Record-Triggered Flow** (recommended for automation).
       * **Screen Flow** (for user-driven uploads).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Push File to Box action">
    1. In Flow Builder, click **+ Add Element**.
    2. Select **Action**.
    3. Search for **Push File to Box** and select the action.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure input parameters">
    Provide the required inputs:

    | Parameter            | Required | Description                                                                 |
    | -------------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | `Content Version ID` | Yes      | The ID of the Salesforce file (`ContentVersion`) you want to upload.        |
    | `Box Folder ID`      | Yes      | The numeric ID of the destination folder in Box (for example, `987654321`). |
    | `File Name`          | No       | Override the default file name if needed.                                   |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect the flow">
    1. Connect the action to your flow logic.
    2. Make sure the flow retrieves or stores the `ContentVersionId` before
       this step.
    3. Save and activate the flow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example use case

A common implementation looks like this:

1. A user uploads a file to a Salesforce record.
2. A record-triggered flow runs.
3. The flow retrieves the file's `ContentVersionId`.
4. The **Push File to Box** action uploads the file to the corresponding
   Box folder.

This ensures all files related to Salesforce records are automatically stored
in Box.

## FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is there a file size limit for uploads?">
    Yes. Files larger than 25 MB are not supported and will fail to upload.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if the Box OAuth token is invalid or expired?">
    If the admin OAuth token is missing or expired, the action returns
    nothing. Make sure the Box connection is active and validate results
    using `isSuccess` and `errorMessage` after the action with a **Decision**
    element.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="In what format should the Box Folder ID be?">
    Use the numeric Box folder ID (for example, `987654321`). Using a
    Salesforce record ID or a folder name causes the action to fail.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why do I get permission-related errors when uploading files?">
    The action runs under the Box admin (service account). That user must
    have access to the destination folder in Box. If access is missing, the
    upload fails.
  </Accordion>

# Salesforce Developer Toolkit
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/salesforce-toolkit/index



The Box for Salesforce Developer Toolkit allows customers to programmatically
customize the behavior of the Box for Salesforce integration. The Toolkit
consists of several global APEX methods that can be used to trigger and extend
the default behavior. The global methods can update the internal Salesforce
record to Box folder mapping and handle permission management.

<Note>
  This functionality is part of the latest Box for
  [Salesforce package][sf-package].
</Note>

<Warning>
  **What the Toolkit does NOT provide**

  The Toolkit is not a full-featured APEX wrapper for the BOX Content API. If
  this is what you are looking for, have a look at the
  [Box SDK for Salesforce][sf-sdk].
</Warning>

## Authentication

A solution for authentication is to allow API calls to use the service
account credentials.

This means that Salesforce Admins need to restrict access to the Toolkit global
APEX class. As these methods allow direct modification of Box content and
collaborations, Salesforce administrators should take appropriate precautions
by restricting access to the global Toolkit APEX class.

Toolkit methods that take `accessToken` as a parameter can use the service
account credentials by sending `null` for the `accessToken` value.

If a value is passed in `accessToken`, the API call to Box is done with
the access token sent. It is up to the developer to ensure the token being
passed is valid and the user associated with the token has permissions to
perform the requested operation.

# Methods and Operations
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/salesforce-toolkit/methods

Reference for Box for Salesforce Developer Toolkit methods and operations.

## Toolkit Details

Class Name: `box.Toolkit`

## Instance Variables

### `mostRecentError`

String to indicate the most recent error that occurred when calling instance
methods.

The presence of this string does not mean the operation did not succeed. It is
possible the error was recoverable; however, the lack of a value in this string
does indicate the operation was successful.

### `Enum CollaborationType`

Enum to indicate the [type of collaboration][collab-type].

Possible values: `EDITOR`, `VIEWER`, `PREVIEWER`, `UPLOADER`, `COOWNER`,
`OWNER`, `PREVIEWERUPLOADER`, or `VIEWERUPLOADER`

## Static Methods

### `deleteServiceUserAssociation`

Method to clear association between Service Account and Box for Salesforce
integration. This can be used to change the service account if an incorrect one
is being used.

Parameters:

* None

Returns:

* `true` if the user's account existed and was deleted.
* `false` if the user's account was not deleted for any reason (including because it didn't exist).

### `deleteUserAssociation`

| Parameter | Type | Description                                             |
| --------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| `userId`  | id   | The ID of the user whose credentials are to be cleared. |

Returns:

* `true` if the user's account existed and was deleted.
* `false` if the user's account was not deleted for any reason (including because it didn't exist).

## Instance Methods - Constructors, Destructors

### `box.Toolkit()`

Parameters:

* None

### `commitChanges`

Treat this method as a destructor for the `box.Toolkit()` method.

<Warning>
  This method is critical. It must be called after all folder / collaboration
  operations are complete. Every time. No Exceptions.
</Warning>

Since Salesforce doesn't allow callouts after database updates / inserts /
deletes have occurred, the Toolkit class maintains some collections of objects
to be inserted once all callout operations are complete. If this method is not
called, those objects won't be in the database, and the tables that keep track
of user / record / folder associations will be out of sync and will need some
advanced debugging to fix.

Parameters:

* None

Returns:

* `Void`

### `commitChanges` with platform event

Treat this method as a destructor for the `box.Toolkit()` method.

This method is very similar to the `commitChanges` above. However, it uses

## Generic Methods

The Box for Salesforce Developer Toolkit provides a global method that accepts
an [HttpRequest][sf-httprequest] object as a parameter and returns an
[HttpResponse][sf-httpresponse] object. This method uses the
authentication details of the Service Account to make callouts to Box's APIs,
allowing you to focus on the business logic of your integration.

### `sendRequest`

| Parameter | Type                          | Description                                           |
| --------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `request` | [HttpRequest][sf-httprequest] | An HttpRequest object with a set endpoint and method. |

Returns:

* An [HttpResponse][sf-httpresponse] object with the response details from calling Box's APIs.
* `Toolkit.BoxApiException` if there is any missing information from the HttpRequest input.
* `null` if there was an issue getting the authentication details for the Service Account. In this case, check `mostRecentError`.

## File Operations

### `createFileFromAttachment`

<Note>
  Available in version 3.46 and above.

  Salesforce has a String length limit of 6 million characters. Due to string
  bloat in the base64 encoding/decoding process, this results in an effective
  file size limit of 4.3 megabytes for synchronous Apex and 8.6 megabytes for
  asynchronous Apex.

### `createIntegrationMapping`

This toolkit method calls the <Link href="/reference/post-integration-mappings-slack">create integration mapping</Link> endpoint to create
the mappings.

<Note>
  When you map to a Slack channel,
  `access_management_disabled` is set to `FALSE` by default.
  This causes an automatic removal of collaborators that are not part
  of the Slack channel member list. Depending on how your organization
  sets up sharing in Box, we recommend that you either set
  `access_management_disabled` to `TRUE` by using the
  `setSlackChannelAccessManagementDisabled` method, or use [groups][12].
  This ensures no users are removed, regardless of Slack settings.
  Collaborations are added or removed from Slack when a file is uploaded
  to a Slack channel.
</Note>

| Parameter     | Type                 | Description                                    |
| ------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |

| `mapping`     | `IntegrationMapping` | Apex defined type `IntegrationMapping`.        |

Returns:

* Boolean based on the transaction success.

### `deleteIntegrationMapping`

This toolkit method calls the <Link href="/reference/delete-integration-mappings-slack-id">delete integration mappings</Link> endpoint to
delete a mapping.

| ---------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `integration`          | String | `Slack` is currently the only supported value. |
| `integrationMappingId` | String | Retrieved from `getIntegrationMappings`.       |

Returns:

* Boolean based on the transaction success.

### `mapSfdcRecordToSlackChannel`

This toolkit method uses the above integration mapping methods and
provides a wrapper with four different use cases:

1. If a mapping does not exist in Salesforce or Slack, it creates a folder under the Box for Salesforce folder structure, and an integration mapping to link it with the Slack channel.
2. If a mapping only exists from Salesforce, it continues to use the folder and does not change the location. It creates an integration mapping to link it with the Slack channel.
3. If a mapping only exists from Slack, it continues to use the folder and creates an FRUP record for the Salesforce record to use the existing folder. This folder is likely to be outside of the Salesforce root folder.
4. If Salesforce and Slack have existing mappings but are not related to each other, it throws an error through `Toolkit.mostRecentError` or within a flow action, stating that the mappings already exist.

This method/invocable is used in a flow template provided in the Box
for Salesforce package `Create Box Folder/Slack Channel Mapping`.

<Note>
  When you map to a Slack channel,
  `access_management_disabled` is set to `FALSE` by default.
  This causes an automatic removal of collaborators that are not part
  of the Slack channel member list. Depending on how your organization
  sets up sharing in Box, we recommend that you either set
  `access_management_disabled` to `TRUE` by using the
  `setSlackChannelAccessManagementDisabled` method, or use [groups][12].
  This ensures no users are removed, regardless of Slack settings.
  Collaborations are added or removed from Slack when a file is uploaded
  to a Slack channel.
</Note>

### `setSlackChannelAccessManagementDisabled`

This toolkit method calls the <Link href="/reference/put-integration-mappings-slack-id">put integration mappings</Link> endpoint to update
the access management deactivated setting.

This method/invocable is used in a flow template provided in the Box
for Salesforce package `Create Box Folder/Slack Channel Mapping`.

Returns:

* `FileRequest` object with the new file request details.
* `null` if the file request is not copied. In this case, check `mostRecentError`.

Usage notes:

* This method uses service account authentication.
* If optional parameters are `null`, the new file request inherits those values from the source file request.
* Use `active` to enable the copied file request immediately.
* Check `mostRecentError` when the method returns `null`.

### `copyFileRequest` with default settings

Creates a copy of an existing file request using the source file request settings and a new destination folder.

| Parameter       | Type     | Required | Description                                       |

| `fileRequestId` | `string` | Yes      | The ID of the file request to copy.               |
| `folderId`      | `string` | Yes      | The destination Box folder ID for uploaded files. |

Returns:

* `FileRequest` object with the new file request details.
* `null` if the file request is not copied. In this case, check `mostRecentError`.

Usage notes:

* This method uses service account authentication.
* The copied file request inherits settings from the source file request and uses the folder ID you provide.
* Use this method when you only need to change the destination folder.
* Check `mostRecentError` when the method returns `null`.

| ------------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `content`          | `string` | Initial body of the note. If blank or null, the note is created with an empty body.                                                                                       |
| `contentFormat`    | `string` | Format of content. If blank or `null`, defaults to `markdown`. `markdown` is the currently supported value.                                                               |
| `recordOrFolderId` | `string` | Either a Box folder ID (numeric) or a Salesforce record ID. When a Salesforce record ID is passed, the associated Box folder is used, or is created if it does not exist. |
| `name`             | `string` | Name of the Box Note to create. Box appends the ".boxnote" extension automatically.                                                                                       |

Returns:

* The Box file ID of the Box Note that is created.
* `null` if the note is not created. In this case, check `mostRecentError` for error messages.

Usage notes:

* This method uses standard-user authentication for the callout to Box, and restores the previous authentication mode after the call completes, even if the call fails.
* `recordOrFolderId` accepts either a Box folder ID or a Salesforce record ID:
  * If the value is fully numeric it is treated as a Box folder ID and used as-is. Otherwise it is parsed as a Salesforce record ID. If that record already has an associated Box folder, the note is created there. If not, the root folder and the record folder are created automatically before the note is created.
  * If the value is neither numeric nor a valid Salesforce ID, the method returns `null` and `mostRecentError` is set to `Invalid recordOrFolderId provided: <value>`.
* If `name` or `recordOrFolderId` is blank, the method returns `null` without calling Box and `mostRecentError` is set to `Unable to create note: name or recordOrFolderId is not set.`
* Blank `content` is normalized to an empty string so the note is created rather than rejected.
* Blank `contentFormat` is normalized to `markdown`.
* Check `mostRecentError` when the method returns `null`.

## Debugging

### `setEnhancedDebugging`

Enables or disables enhanced debug logging for the current Toolkit instance.

| Parameter | Type      | Required | Description                                              |
| --------- | --------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `enabled` | `boolean` | Yes      | `true` to enable enhanced debugging; `false` to disable. |

Returns:

* `Void`

Usage notes:

* Enhanced debugging applies only to the current Toolkit instance.
* When enabled, enhanced debugging logs additional HTTP request and response details.
* Use enhanced debugging for troubleshooting, and disable it in production to avoid unnecessary logging.
* The setting does not persist across transactions.

### `isEnhancedDebuggingEnabled`

Checks whether enhanced debugging is enabled for the current Toolkit instance.

Parameters:

* None

Returns:

* `true` if enhanced debugging is enabled.
* `false` if enhanced debugging is disabled.

Usage notes:

* This method has no side effects.
* Use it to conditionally run debug-only logic.
* The returned value reflects the setting applied by `setEnhancedDebugging`.

# Code Samples
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/salesforce-toolkit/samples



## Generic Method

The following code will create metadata on a Box folder in Salesforce using the
generic Toolkit method:

```java Apex theme={null}
// Instantiate the Toolkit object
box.Toolkit toolkit = new box.Toolkit();

// Get the Salesforce record id associated with a Box folder
String recordId = toolkit.getRecordIdByFolderId('{some folder id}');

// Construct an object containing all the metadata you want
Map<String, Object> metadata = new Map<String, Object>{
    'salesforce_id' => recordId,
    'salesforce_url' => System.URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/' + recordId,
    'salesforce_user_name' => UserInfo.getName(),
    'salesforce_user_email' => UserInfo.getUserEmail()
};

// Specify the Box API endpoint to call
String endpoint = 'https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/' + '{some folder id}' + '/metadata/global/properties';

// Create a new HttpRequest object and set appropriate values
HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
request.setMethod('POST');
request.setEndpoint(endpoint);
request.setBody(JSON.serialize(metadata));
request.setHeader('content-type', 'application/json');

// Send the HttpRequest through the generic Toolkit method, which will handle the authentication details
HttpResponse response = toolkit.sendRequest(request);
```

## New Folder Association

The following code will create a folder for a specific Salesforce record Id:

```java Apex theme={null}
// Instantiate the Toolkit object
box.Toolkit boxToolkit = new box.Toolkit();
// Create a folder and associate it with an account
Id accountId = '001j000000FBozw';
String accountFolderId = boxToolkit.createFolderForRecordId(accountId, null, true);
system.debug('new item folder id: ' + accountFolderId);

// If there was an error, accountFolderId will be null. mostRecentError will contain the error message
if(accountFolderId == null) {
system.debug('most recent error: ' + boxToolkit.mostRecentError);
}

// ALWAYS call this method when finished.Since salesforce doesn't allow http callouts after dml operations, we need to commit the pending database inserts/updates or we will lose the associations created
boxToolkit.commitChanges();
```

## Folder Templates

The following code will create a folder for a record, create subfolders (folder
template), and collaborate the current user:

```java Apex theme={null}
// Instantiate the Toolkit object
box.Toolkit boxToolkit = new box.Toolkit();

// Create a folder and associate it with an account
Id accountId = '001j000000FBozz';
String accountFolderId = boxToolkit.createFolderForRecordId(accountId, null, true);
system.debug('new item folder id: ' + accountFolderId);

// Create two sub-folders in the newly created account folder
String legalFolderId = boxToolkit.createFolder('Legal Documents', accountFolderId, null);
system.debug('Legal Folder id: ' + legalFolderId);
String pictureFolderId = boxToolkit.createFolder('Pictures', accountFolderId, null);
system.debug('Picture Folder id: ' + pictureFolderId);

// Collaborate the current user on the account folder. Note that we're sending false for the optCreateFolder param that shouldn't actually matter since the folder(s) already exists
Id userId = UserInfo.getUserId();
box.Toolkit.CollaborationType collabType = box.Toolkit.CollaborationType.EDITOR;
String collabId = boxToolkit.createCollaborationOnRecord(userId, accountId, collabType, false);
system.debug('new collaboration id: ' + collabId);

// ALWAYS call this method when finished. Since salesforce doesn't allow http callouts after dml operations, we need to commit the pending database inserts/updates or we will lose the associations created
boxToolkit.commitChanges();
```

# Wiring the Box file picker to a custom invocable
Source: https://developer.box.com/guides/tooling/salesforce-toolkit/wiring-the-box-file-picker-to-a-custom-invocable



Add the Box File Picker to your own Agentforce action so users pick a Box file in the action input instead of pasting file IDs. Two packaged pieces make it work:

* **`FileSelection`** — global Apex type with `selectedFileId` / `selectedFileName`. The value the picker returns.
* **`boxFileSelection`** — Lightning Type that renders the `boxFilePicker` UI (Recent Items / Browse Box Files / Current Record Folder).

Both ship in the package — you don't build them.

## Namespace (subscriber orgs)

Everything is under the `boxagents` namespace. In a subscriber org, reference packaged components with the prefix — the bare names won't compile:

| **Component**  | **In a subscriber org**       |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- |
| Apex type      | `boxagents.FileSelection`     |
| Lightning Type | `boxagents__boxFileSelection` |

Using bare `FileSelection` causes *Invalid type: FileSelection* / *InvocableVariable fields do not support type ...* / *Variable does not exist: req.file*.

## Steps

1. Add a `boxagents.FileSelection` `@InvocableVariable` to your `Request`.
2. Read `req.file.selectedFileId` (and `selectedFileName`).
3. In Agent Builder, map that input to the `boxagents__boxFileSelection` Lightning Type so the picker UI renders.

Example

```
global with sharing class BoxFilePickerExample {
    @InvocableMethod(label='Get Selected Box File (Example)' description='Accept a file-picker selection and return the file ID' category='Box')
    global static List<Response> getSelectedFile(List<Request> requests) {
        List<Response> responses = new List<Response>();
        for(Request req : requests) {
            if(req.file == null || String.isBlank(req.file.selectedFileId)) {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException('File selection is required');
            }
            Response resp = new Response();
            resp.fileId = req.file.selectedFileId;
            resp.fileName = req.file.selectedFileName;
            responses.add(resp);
        }
        return responses;
    }
    global class Request {
        @InvocableVariable(label='Select File' description='Choose a Box file' required=true)
         global boxagents.FileSelection file;
    }    
    global class Response {
        @InvocableVariable(label='File ID') global String fileId;
        @InvocableVariable(label='File Name') global String fileName;
    }
}
```

## Mapping the input in Agent assets

<img alt="Mapping input agent assets" />

The Apex input lets the action *accept* a selection; mapping it to the Lightning Type makes the *picker UI render*:

1. Open your custom action (Agentforce Studio → Agent Actions, or Flow Builder).
2. Select the **Select File** input.
3. Set its reference / Lightning Type to **`boxagents__boxFileSelection`** (*Box File Picker*).
4. Save and activate.

## Notes

* Namespace prefix in subscriber orgs is the #1 source of errors.
* Null-check `req.file` / `req.file.selectedFileId`.
* The ID is what Box APIs need; the name is for display/logging.
* Full references: the shipped `BoxAIAskWithFilePicker`, `BoxAIGenTextWithFilePicker`, `BoxAIExtractFieldsWithFilePicker`, `BoxAIExtractMetadataWithFilePicker`.

# Build your company brain
Source: https://developer.box.com/tutorials/company-brain

Turn scattered company content into governed knowledge. Review new files with Box AI and publish approved content to Box Hubs, allowing humans and AI agents to work from the same trusted source.

A personal AI knowledge base - a folder of notes, research, and strategy docs that an agent can read and act on - works well for one person. Startups and enterprises, however, need a shared source of truth that multiple people and multiple agents can use safely. Teams have to answer questions like:

* Who can access specific information, and who can update it?
* Which version is current?
* How do you review agent-generated changes?
* Can an answer be traced back to the source material it came from?

The answer is a **shared company brain**: a governed repository of company context, product knowledge, operating rules, and generated outputs that humans and agents use to operate the business. This provides the same trusted content whether it is reached by a developer's local coding agent, a cloud agent over MCP, or a person in the Box web app.

This tutorial builds that knowledge layer with Box:

1. You organize content into a **domain-based structure** - one curated knowledge base per domain - with a staging area for new files and an approved area for trusted ones.
2. When a file lands in staging, you use **Box AI** to review it: summarize it, score its content health, suggest a domain and tags, and flag issues like missing owners or stale guidance.
3. You record that review as **Box metadata** so every file carries its governance status, and you promote approved content into a **Box Hub** - the trusted destination that agents query.
4. Humans and agents query the brain through **Box AI**, getting answers grounded in approved, permission-controlled content, with citations back to the source.

  Prefer to start from running code? The complete app built in this tutorial is on GitHub. Clone it, add your Box credentials, and run.
</Card>

## What you are building

By the end of this tutorial, you have a working Python project that:

* Provisions a governed folder structure - the company brain - organized by domain, each with a staging and an approved area.
* Uses a dedicated **service account** as the shared, governed identity that both your automation and your agents act through.
* Reviews staged files with Box AI, producing a summary, a suggested domain, tags, and a content health score, then flags quality issues.
* Writes the review back to each file as a governance metadata instance, so status and ownership are searchable and auditable.
* Publishes approved content to a domain Box Hub and answers natural-language questions grounded in that trusted content.
* Gives your local and cloud agents a safe, permission-aware way to work from the same source of truth.

## Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following:

* A <Link href="https://account.box.com/signup/developer#ty9l3">free Box developer account</Link>, or a <Link href="https://www.box.com/pricing">Box Enterprise account</Link> with **Box AI** and **Box Hubs** enabled. See <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-hubs/box-hubs-for-admins/configuring-box-hubs">Configuring Box Hubs</Link>.
* A platform application configured with **Client Credentials Grant** authentication.
* **Admin access** to create a metadata template (Step 2), or a Box administrator who can create one for you.
* Python 3.11 or higher.
* The following scopes enabled on your platform app:
  * Read and write all files and folders stored in Box
  * Manage AI
  * Manage enterprise properties (required to create and write metadata)

## Step-by-step process

A company brain is built from four Box capabilities working together. Each one maps to a requirement that a shared, trusted knowledge layer must meet.

| Component                   | Purpose                                                                   | API                                             |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Folders**                 | Organize content by domain, and separate staged files from approved ones  | `GET /2.0/folders/:id/items`                    |
| **Box AI Extract**          | Review staged content: summarize, score health, suggest a domain and tags | `POST /2.0/ai/extract_structured`               |
| **Metadata**                | Record governance state (domain, owner, status, health) on each file      | `POST /2.0/files/:id/metadata/:scope/:template` |
| **Hubs** and **Box AI Ask** | Publish approved content and answer questions grounded in it              | `POST /2.0/hubs`, `POST /2.0/ai/ask`            |

<Info>
  Box Hubs and Box AI inherit permissions from the underlying source files. Both people and agents only ever see answers derived from content they already have access to in Box. The company brain does not add a separate access-control layer - it reuses the one you already trust.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Design your company brain structure">
    The best knowledge bases are domain-based, not generic. Rather than one giant brain, create a focused knowledge base per domain - security, legal, product, and so on - and let each domain team own its content.

    Within each domain, separate content that has been reviewed from content that has not. New files land in a `_staging` area; only approved files move to the `approved` area that agents are pointed at.

    Create a folder structure in Box similar to the following:

    ```
    Company Brain/
    ├── security/
    │   ├── _staging/        # new or updated files awaiting review
    │   └── approved/        # trusted, published knowledge
    ├── legal/
    │   ├── _staging/
    │   └── approved/
    ├── product/
    │   ├── _staging/
    │   └── approved/
    ├── operating-rules/     # rules that govern how agents behave
    │   └── agent-operating-rules.md
    └── outputs/             # content generated by agents, saved back
    ```

    Note the **folder ID** of the top-level `Company Brain` folder, and the ID of one domain's `_staging` folder (for example, `security/_staging`). You use these in later steps. The folder ID is the number at the end of the folder's URL: `https://app.box.com/folder/123456789` means the folder ID is `123456789`.

    <Tip>
      The `operating-rules` folder is part of the brain, not an afterthought. Storing your agent operating rules alongside the knowledge they govern means every agent - local or cloud - reads the current rules from the same place, instead of each teammate copying yesterday's version into their own workspace.
    </Tip>

    <Note>
      This tutorial works one domain end to end (for example, `security`). Once the pattern works, repeat it per domain. Adding a domain is easy: a new folder pair and a new Hub, owned by the team closest to the work.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the knowledge governance metadata template">
    Governance is what separates a trusted knowledge base from a folder of files. A metadata template lets every file carry the same governance fields - which domain it belongs to, who owns it, whether it is approved, and how healthy its content is - so status is explicit, searchable, and auditable.

    <Tip>
      This step requires Admin access. If you do not have access, contact your Box administrator.
    </Tip>

    1. Open the [Box Admin Console](https://app.box.com/master) and select **Metadata**.
    2. Click **New** and name the template `Knowledge Governance`.
    3. Add the following fields:

    | Field name           | Type   | Description                                                           |
    | -------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | Domain               | Text   | The domain this file belongs to, for example `security`               |
    | Owner                | Text   | The person or team accountable for keeping this file current          |
    | Status               | Text   | `staged`, `approved`, or `rejected`                                   |
    | Content Health Score | Number | A 0-100 score for how usable this content is as knowledge             |
    | Summary              | Text   | A short, agent-readable summary of the file                           |
    | Tags                 | Text   | Comma-separated tags for retrieval                                    |
    | Review Notes         | Text   | Issues flagged during review, for example missing owner or stale date |

    4. Click **Save**.
    5. Click back into your newly created template and copy the **template key** shown under the template name. You need it in a later step.

    <Note>
      Box derives each field's **key** from its display name in camel case - `Content Health Score` becomes `contentHealthScore`. The code in Step 6 uses these keys. If you rename a field, confirm its key in the Admin Console and update the code to match. For a detailed walkthrough, see <Link href="https://docs.box.com/en/box-admin-tools/managing-content/metadata/customizing-metadata-templates">Customizing Metadata Templates</Link>.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the development environment">
    1. Open your terminal and create a new project directory:

    ```bash theme={null}
    mkdir company-brain && cd company-brain
    ```

    2. Create and activate a Python virtual environment:

    ```bash theme={null}
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    ```

    After activation, your terminal prompt shows `(.venv)` at the beginning. This confirms you are working inside the virtual environment.

    <Note>
      Every time you open a new terminal window or tab, re-activate the virtual environment by running `source .venv/bin/activate` from the project directory. If you see `ModuleNotFoundError` when running commands, it usually means the venv is not activated.
    </Note>

    3. Install the required packages:

    ```bash theme={null}
    pip install boxsdk python-dotenv
    ```

    4. Create a `.env` file to store your credentials, then add the following content. Replace the placeholder values with your actual credentials from the Box Developer Console:

    ```bash theme={null}
    BOX_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
    BOX_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
    BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID=your_enterprise_id
    BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY=your_template_key
    STAGING_FOLDER_ID=your_domain_staging_folder_id
    APPROVED_FOLDER_ID=your_domain_approved_folder_id
    ```

    <Warning>
      Never commit `.env` files to version control. Add `.env` to your `.gitignore`.
    </Warning>

    <Note>
      **Understanding environment variables:** The `.env` file stores sensitive values (your actual credentials). Your Python code reads these values by referencing their **names** using `os.getenv("VARIABLE_NAME")`. When you copy the code in the following steps, keep the quoted variable names exactly as shown. Do not replace them with your actual credentials.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authenticate as a service account">
    A company brain is shared, so it should be reached through a shared, governed identity rather than any one person's account. Client Credentials Grant gives your automation - and the agents you connect later - their own **service account** in Box. That service account is the security boundary: it can only touch content you explicitly share with it.

    Create a file called `box_client.py` and add the following code:

    ```python theme={null}
    import os
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, BoxCCGAuth, CCGConfig

    load_dotenv()

    def get_box_client() -> BoxClient:
        config = CCGConfig(
            client_id=os.getenv("BOX_CLIENT_ID"),
            client_secret=os.getenv("BOX_CLIENT_SECRET"),
            enterprise_id=os.getenv("BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID"),
        )
        auth = BoxCCGAuth(config=config)
        return BoxClient(auth=auth)
    ```

    <Warning>
      **Share the company brain with the service account.** A CCG app acts as a separate service account user that does not automatically have access to your content. Invite the service account email as a collaborator on the top-level `Company Brain` folder with the **Editor** role - Editor is required so the app can write metadata and move approved files.

      To find the email: go to the [Developer Console](https://app.box.com/developers/console), open your app, and look in the **App Details** sidebar for the **Service Account ID** (it looks like `AutomationUser_xxxxx_xxxxxx@boxdevedition.com`). Without this, API calls return `404 Not found`.
    </Warning>

    <Tip>
      Sharing only the `Company Brain` folder - not your whole account - is the point. The service account gets exactly the access the brain needs and nothing more. This is the same boundary you rely on later when an agent authenticates as this identity.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review staged content with Box AI">
    If an agent can search everything, it can also find the wrong thing - an old scope deck, an unreviewed draft, a template with outdated assumptions. For a person that is annoying; for an agent it is a trust problem. So before a file becomes part of the trusted layer, it goes through an intake review.

    Instead of prompting Box AI with an open-ended question, you define a fixed review schema so every file comes back in the same shape. Create a file called `review.py`:

    ```python theme={null}
    from box_sdk_gen import (
        AiItemBase,
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields,
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField,
    )
    from box_client import get_box_client

    REVIEW_FIELDS = [
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
            key="summary",
            display_name="Summary",
            type="string",
            prompt="A two to three sentence summary of what this document contains.",
        ),
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
            key="suggested_domain",
            display_name="Suggested domain",
            type="enum",
            prompt="The single domain this content best belongs to.",
            options=[
                CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="security"),
                CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="legal"),
                CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="product"),
                CreateAiExtractStructuredFieldsOptionsField(key="other"),
            ],
        ),
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
            key="suggested_tags",
            display_name="Suggested tags",
            type="string",
            prompt="Three to six comma-separated topic tags for retrieval.",
        ),
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
            key="content_health_score",
            display_name="Content health score",
            type="float",
            prompt=(
                "A score from 0 to 100 for how usable this is as trusted knowledge. "
                "Lower the score for stale dates, missing ownership, unclear status, "
                "or content that reads like an unreviewed draft."
            ),
        ),
        CreateAiExtractStructuredFields(
            key="review_notes",
            display_name="Review notes",
            type="string",
            prompt=(
                "Concise notes on any issues an owner should resolve before approval, "
                "such as missing owner, stale dates, duplicate guidance, or draft assumptions."
            ),
        ),
    ]

    def review_file(file_id: str) -> dict:
        client = get_box_client()

        response = client.ai.create_ai_extract_structured(
            items=[AiItemBase(id=file_id)],
            fields=REVIEW_FIELDS,
        )

        return response.to_dict()["answer"]
    ```

    The fixed schema is what makes the review dependable: the same fields, in the same shape, for every file - so the intake step behaves consistently no matter who uploaded the document or how it is formatted.

    <Tip>
      Treat the content health score as a signal, not a verdict. A low score means "an owner should look at this before agents rely on it," which is exactly what the approval step in Step 6 is for.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record the review as governance metadata">
    A review is only useful if it stays attached to the file. Writing the result back as a metadata instance means every file carries its own governance record - domain, owner, status, and health - that both people and agents can see, search, and audit.

    Create a file called `intake.py`. It reviews every file in a domain's staging folder and stamps each one with governance metadata:

    ```python theme={null}
    import os
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, CreateFileMetadataByIdScope

    from box_client import get_box_client
    from review import review_file

    load_dotenv()

    def build_governance(review: dict) -> dict:
        return {
            "domain": review.get("suggested_domain", "other"),
            "owner": "unassigned",
            "status": "staged",
            "contentHealthScore": review.get("content_health_score", 0),
            "summary": review.get("summary", ""),
            "tags": review.get("suggested_tags", ""),
            "reviewNotes": review.get("review_notes", ""),
        }

    def apply_governance(client: BoxClient, file_id: str, governance: dict):
        template_key = os.getenv("BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY")
        client.file_metadata.create_file_metadata_by_id(
            file_id=file_id,
            scope=CreateFileMetadataByIdScope.ENTERPRISE,
            template_key=template_key,
            request_body=governance,
        )

    def process_staging_folder(client: BoxClient, folder_id: str):
        items = client.folders.get_folder_items(folder_id).entries

        for item in items:
            if item.type != "file":
                continue

            print(f"\nReviewing: {item.name} ({item.id})")
            review = review_file(item.id)
            governance = build_governance(review)

            print(f"  Domain:  {governance['domain']}")
            print(f"  Health:  {governance['contentHealthScore']}")
            print(f"  Summary: {governance['summary']}")
            if governance["reviewNotes"]:
                print(f"  Notes:   {governance['reviewNotes']}")

            apply_governance(client, item.id, governance)
            print("  Governance metadata applied.")

    def main():
        client = get_box_client()
        staging_folder_id = os.getenv("STAGING_FOLDER_ID")
        process_staging_folder(client, staging_folder_id)

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
    ```

    Upload a document or two to your domain's `_staging` folder in Box, then run:

    ```bash theme={null}
    python3 intake.py
    ```

    For each staged file you see the suggested domain, a health score, a summary, and any review notes - and each file is stamped with a `staged` governance record.

    <Note>
      The intake step sets `status` to `staged` and `owner` to `unassigned` on purpose. A file being uploaded does not make it trusted knowledge. A human still decides what gets approved and who owns it - the next step.
    </Note>

    <Tip>
      To run intake automatically whenever a file lands in staging, trigger it from a folder event instead of running it by hand. See <Link href="/guides/box-automate/index">Box Automate</Link> for event-driven routing and approval tasks, or register a <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">webhook</Link> on the staging folder.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve content and publish it to a domain Hub">
    Once a domain owner is satisfied with a file, it becomes trusted knowledge and needs a destination where both people and agents can find it. A Box Hub is that destination: a curated, permission-inheriting knowledge base for one domain. Pointing agents at a small set of approved content - rather than every file the company has - is what keeps answers grounded and trustworthy.

    Create a file called `publish.py`. It marks a file as approved, moves it into the domain's `approved` folder, and ensures a domain Hub exists and contains that folder:

    ```python theme={null}
    import os
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from box_sdk_gen import (
        BoxClient,
        UpdateFileMetadataByIdScope,
        UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBody,
        UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBodyOpField,
        UpdateFileByIdParent,
        FolderReferenceV2025R0,
        HubItemOperationV2025R0,
        HubItemOperationV2025R0ActionField,
    )

    from box_client import get_box_client

    load_dotenv()

    def approve_file(client: BoxClient, file_id: str, owner: str):
        template_key = os.getenv("BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY")
        client.file_metadata.update_file_metadata_by_id(
            file_id=file_id,
            scope=UpdateFileMetadataByIdScope.ENTERPRISE,
            template_key=template_key,
            request_body=[
                UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBody(
                    op=UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBodyOpField.REPLACE,
                    path="/status",
                    value="approved",
                ),
                UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBody(
                    op=UpdateFileMetadataByIdRequestBodyOpField.REPLACE,
                    path="/owner",
                    value=owner,
                ),
            ],
        )
        print(f"Approved file {file_id}, owner set to {owner}")

    def move_to_approved(client: BoxClient, file_id: str, approved_folder_id: str):
        client.files.update_file_by_id(
            file_id, parent=UpdateFileByIdParent(id=approved_folder_id)
        )
        print(f"Moved file {file_id} to approved folder {approved_folder_id}")

    def create_domain_hub(client: BoxClient, domain: str) -> str:
        hub = client.hubs.create_hub_v2025_r0(
            f"{domain.title()} Knowledge Base",
            description=(
                f"Curated, approved {domain} knowledge for the company brain. "
                "Answers are grounded in reviewed, source-backed content."
            ),
        )
        print(f"Created hub: {hub.title} (ID: {hub.id})")
        return hub.id

    def add_folder_to_hub(client: BoxClient, hub_id: str, folder_id: str):
        client.hub_items.manage_hub_items_v2025_r0(
            hub_id,
            operations=[
                HubItemOperationV2025R0(
                    action=HubItemOperationV2025R0ActionField.ADD,
                    item=FolderReferenceV2025R0(id=folder_id),
                )
            ],
        )
        print(f"Added approved folder {folder_id} to hub {hub_id}")

    def main():
        client = get_box_client()

        approved_folder_id = os.getenv("APPROVED_FOLDER_ID")

        # Replace with a file ID from your staging folder and the accountable owner.
        file_id = "YOUR_FILE_ID"
        owner = "security-team@example.com"
        domain = "security"

        approve_file(client, file_id, owner)
        move_to_approved(client, file_id, approved_folder_id)

        hub_id = create_domain_hub(client, domain)
        add_folder_to_hub(client, hub_id, approved_folder_id)

        print(f"\n{domain.title()} knowledge base ready. Hub ID: {hub_id}")

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
    ```

    Run it once for a file you want to approve:

    ```bash theme={null}
    python3 publish.py
    ```

    Save the hub ID from the output - you need it to query the brain.

    <Note>
      You create a domain's Hub once, then reuse it. In production, look up the existing Hub for a domain and only create one if it does not exist, rather than creating a new Hub on every approval. Adding a folder to a Hub automatically indexes the files within it, and new files added to that folder are picked up automatically.
    </Note>

    <Tip>
      Control who can query the knowledge base by adding Hub collaborations - `viewer` for people who consume knowledge, `editor` for the domain owners who curate it. See <Link href="/guides/hubs-api/hubs-collaborations/hub-collaborations">Manage hub collaborations</Link>.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Query the company brain">
    With approved content published, both people and agents can ask natural-language questions and get answers grounded in reviewed, source-backed material - with citations back to the files the answer came from. Create a file called `ask.py`:

    ```python theme={null}
    from dotenv import load_dotenv
    from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient, CreateAiAskMode, AiItemAsk

    from box_client import get_box_client

    load_dotenv()

    def ask_company_brain(client: BoxClient, hub_id: str, question: str):
        response = client.ai.create_ai_ask(
            mode=CreateAiAskMode.SINGLE_ITEM_QA,
            prompt=question,
            items=[AiItemAsk(type="hubs", id=hub_id)],
            include_citations=True,
        )
        return response

    def main():
        client = get_box_client()

        hub_id = "YOUR_HUB_ID"  # From Step 7

        questions = [
            "What is our approved policy for handling customer data at rest?",
            "Which security controls must a new integration pass before launch?",
        ]

        for question in questions:
            print(f"\nQ: {question}")
            response = ask_company_brain(client, hub_id, question)
            print(f"A: {response.answer}")

            if response.citations:
                print("Sources:")
                for citation in response.citations:
                    print(f"  - {citation.name}")

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()
    ```

    Replace `YOUR_HUB_ID` with the hub ID from the previous step, then run:

    ```bash theme={null}
    python3 ask.py
    ```

    Because the Hub inherits Box permissions, the answer only ever draws on documents the querying identity can access, and each answer lists the approved files it came from. The result is a knowledge base agents can depend on, instead of a guess assembled from a random mix of search results.

    At this point, your project directory should contain the following files:

    ```
    company-brain/
    ├── .env
    ├── .venv/
    ├── ask.py
    ├── box_client.py
    ├── intake.py
    ├── publish.py
    └── review.py
    ```

    <Warning>
      After publishing content to a Hub, allow a few minutes for Box to index the files before querying. Queries against newly added content may return empty or incomplete results until indexing completes.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your agents to the company brain">
    <Info>
      This step is guidance rather than code you run now. It shows how the same governed brain you just built becomes the memory layer for your agents, wherever they run.
    </Info>

    The whole point of a company brain is that it stays put while the agents change. Different teammates use different tools - a coding agent, a cloud assistant, a workflow bot - and the brain should not have to change as the agent changes; it should keep compounding. Box exposes the same source of truth through two access paths:

    * **Local agents** (for example, a coding agent working against synced files) reach the brain through Box Drive or the <Link href="/guides/cli/index">Box CLI</Link>, treating it like a local repository. Authenticate the CLI as the *service account* from Step 4 so the agent inherits exactly the access you granted the brain. More information is available on how to <Link href="/tutorials/connect-an-agent-to-box#set-up-the-connection">authenticate into Box CLI with a CCG app</Link>.
    * **Cloud agents** (for example, an assistant in a chat app) reach the same content through the <Link href="/guides/box-mcp/index">Box MCP server</Link>, with permission-aware access and admin controls. See more information on how to <Link href="/tutorials/connect-an-agent-to-box#box-mcp-hosted-server">set up the connection with Box MCP</Link>.

    Both are working from the same underlying files, permissions, and versions. Store the rules that govern agent behavior in the `operating-rules` folder so every agent reads the current version from the brain itself. For example:

    ```text theme={null}
    - Always authenticate as the Box service account, never a personal user.
    - Only operate inside the approved folders and Hubs you are given.
    - Answer only from approved content, and cite the source files.
    - Ask before deleting or overwriting content; preserve version history.
    - Save generated outputs back to the outputs folder for reuse.
    ```

    <Tip>
      Version history, review workflows, and audit trails are not extra work you bolt on - they come from Box. When an agent writes an output back to the brain, it inherits the same governance every human contribution does.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Keep the brain healthy">
    <Info>
      This step provides reference patterns for keeping the knowledge base trustworthy over time. You do not need to run it now.
    </Info>

    The default failure mode of any knowledge base is drift: policies go stale, best practices stay trapped in one team, and approved content slowly ages out of date. A healthy company brain closes the loop - the organization's own work continuously improves it.

    Use the governance metadata you are already writing to surface content that needs attention. A <Link href="/guides/metadata/queries">metadata query</Link> can find every approved file below a health threshold, or every file still `staged` after too long:

    ```python theme={null}
    import os
    from box_sdk_gen import BoxClient

    def find_low_health_content(client: BoxClient, template_key: str, threshold: int = 60):
        enterprise_id = os.getenv("BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID")
        results = client.search.search_by_metadata_query(
            from_=f"enterprise_{enterprise_id}.{template_key}",
            ancestor_folder_id="0",  # search the whole enterprise; scope to the brain folder in production
            query="status = :status AND contentHealthScore < :score",
            query_params={"status": "approved", "score": threshold},
        )
        for entry in results.entries:
            print(f"Needs review: {entry.name} ({entry.id})")
    ```

    Feed those signals back to the domain owner. Every workflow also generates signals worth capturing - missing context, repeated review comments, gaps an agent could not answer. Route them into the next review cycle so the brain gets more valuable the more it is used.

    <Note>
      The `from` value must include your enterprise ID. Use `enterprise_{BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID}.{template_key}` - for example, `enterprise_123456789.knowledgeGovernance`.
    </Note>

    <Tip>
      Pair this with a scheduled review per domain. The owner re-reviews low-health and aging content, updates or archives it, and the Hub reindexes automatically. Ownership is what keeps quality from degrading - assign every domain an accountable owner.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '...'">
    Your virtual environment is not activated. Run `source .venv/bin/activate` from the project directory before running any `python3` commands. Each new terminal tab needs its own activation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="invalid_client: The client credentials are invalid">
    Check your `.env` file:

    * Verify `BOX_CLIENT_ID` and `BOX_CLIENT_SECRET` match the values in Developer Console > Configuration.
    * Confirm `BOX_ENTERPRISE_ID` is your enterprise ID (Admin Console > Account & Billing, or Developer Console > icon in the top-right > Copy Enterprise ID).
    * Ensure your app is authorized in the Developer Console and uses Client Credentials Grant.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="404 Not Found">
    The service account does not have access to the folder or file. Invite the service account email (Developer Console > General Settings) as a collaborator with the **Editor** role on the top-level `Company Brain` folder. Because subfolders inherit collaboration, this grants access to every domain, staging, and approved folder inside it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="metadata_template must have both scope and template_key">
    The `BOX_METADATA_TEMPLATE_KEY` value in your `.env` file is missing or empty. Add the template key you copied when creating the `Knowledge Governance` template in Step 2.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Metadata write fails with 400 bad_request: Request contains invalid parameters">
    This means the request reached your template (a missing template returns `404`, not `400`), but one of the keys in the payload is not a field in the template, or a value breaks a field's type. The most common cause is a field name mismatch - for example, if the first field was created as `Domain` in the Admin Console, Box generates the key `domain`, but if it was named anything else the key differs and the `domain` key the code sends is rejected.

    Every key in `build_governance` (`domain`, `owner`, `status`, `contentHealthScore`, `summary`, `tags`, `reviewNotes`) must exactly match a field key in your template. Print the actual keys and types to compare:

    ```python theme={null}
    from box_sdk_gen import GetMetadataTemplateScope
    from box_client import get_box_client

    client = get_box_client()
    template = client.metadata_templates.get_metadata_template(
        GetMetadataTemplateScope.ENTERPRISE, "knowledgeGovernance"
    )
    for field in template.fields:
        print(field.type, field.key, "-", field.display_name)
    ```

    Then either rename or add the field in the Admin Console so its key matches (field keys are immutable once created, so add a correctly named field rather than trying to rename the key), or update the dict keys in `build_governance` to match what the template actually uses. A `Number` field also rejects non-numeric values, so make sure the health score is sent as a number.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Box AI returns empty or irrelevant answers">
    This usually means the Hub content has not finished indexing, or the approved folder is empty:

    * Wait a few minutes after publishing before querying. Indexing is not instantaneous.
    * Verify the approved folder contains files (not just subfolders) and that they contain text (scanned image PDFs without OCR are not searchable).
    * Confirm you are querying the correct hub ID from Step 7.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Scaling to production

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Automate the intake and approval loop">
    Instead of running `intake.py` by hand, trigger the review when a file lands in a `_staging` folder and route the result to the right owner as an approval task. See <Link href="/guides/box-automate/index">Box Automate</Link> for event-driven workflows, or register a <Link href="/guides/webhooks/v2/signatures-v2">webhook</Link> on each staging folder.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="One hub per domain, combined per task">
    Provision a dedicated Hub for each domain and let agents combine the hubs a task needs - a product-planning agent might draw on product, legal, and security, while a code-review agent draws on architecture, security, and accessibility. Loop over your domains to create their folder pairs and Hubs, and give each domain an accountable owner.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Support conversational follow-ups">
    The `POST /2.0/ai/ask` endpoint accepts a `dialogue_history` parameter carrying previous question-and-answer pairs. Maintain a list of exchanges and pass it with each request so users can ask follow-ups without losing context. See <Link href="/tutorials/sales-rfp-answer-bank">Build a sales RFP answer bank</Link> for a conversational implementation.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Govern content lifecycle">
    Combine the brain with <Link href="/guides/retention-policies">retention policies</Link> to archive or delete outdated material automatically, and use enterprise events to see which content agents rely on most. Treat the knowledge layer as enterprise infrastructure, not an AI feature - the organizations that build it as a governed, reusable, permission-aware layer gain an advantage every time a new agent enters the business.

# Connect an AI agent to Box
Source: https://developer.box.com/tutorials/connect-an-agent-to-box

Give coding and autonomous agents secure, scoped access to Box content through the Box CLI or the Box MCP server.

An AI agent is more useful when it can work with the same current content as
your team. This tutorial explains how to connect an agent to Box through either
the Box CLI or the hosted Box MCP server.

<Note>
  The examples use [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex), but the
  connection patterns apply to other agents. Use the **Box CLI** path when an
  agent can run shell commands. Use the **Box MCP** path when an agent supports
  the Model Context Protocol.
</Note>

## What you are building

By the end of this tutorial, your agent can read, search, upload, organize, and
use Box AI with Box content.

<CardGroup>
  <Card title="Box CLI path" icon="terminal" href="#set-up-the-connection">
    Connect a Client Credentials Grant service account. The agent has its own
    Box identity and can access only the folders shared with it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Box MCP path" icon="plug" href="#set-up-the-connection">
    Connect the hosted Box MCP server with OAuth. The Box user you authorize
    determines the content available to the agent.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Authentication and access boundaries

The authentication method determines which Box identity the agent uses and what
content it can access:

* **Personal OAuth**: the agent acts as the Box user who completes OAuth. It has
  the same access as that user.
* **Client Credentials Grant**: the agent acts as a separate service account.
  The service account starts without access to your content and can access only
  the folders shared with it.
* **Dedicated managed user**: the agent completes OAuth as a user created for
  the agent. Its access is limited to the folders shared with that user. This
  option requires an available seat on a paid plan.

On a free developer account, the MCP connection uses your own account because
the account has one seat. Use the Box CLI service-account path when you need a
separate identity with access limited to a project folder.

## Choose the right path

Both paths connect an agent to Box, but they use different identities and access
boundaries.

|                       | Plain OAuth                        | Box CLI                                         | Box MCP                                                                    |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Who the agent acts as | The user who authorizes the app    | A dedicated service account                     | The Box user who completes OAuth, which is you on a free developer account |
| Interactive login     | Required                           | Not required                                    | Required once                                                              |
| Folder scoping        | Uses the authorizing user's access | Share specific folders with the service account | Use a dedicated user with access to specific folders                       |
| Recommended use       | Short-lived local testing          | Terminal agents and headless automation         | MCP-native agents and chat clients                                         |

<Tip>
  On a free developer account, the MCP connection uses your own account because
  the account has one seat. The agent can access the content you can access. Use
  the **Box CLI** path when you need a separate service identity and a strict
  folder boundary on a free developer account.
</Tip>

Choose the **Box CLI** path if your agent runs in a terminal or on a server, or
if you need to scope it to a shared project folder. Choose the **Box MCP** path
if your agent is MCP-native and you are comfortable authorizing the appropriate
Box user through OAuth.

## Prerequisites

<Steps>
  <Step title="A Box account you can build on">
    A free [Box developer account](https://account.box.com/signup/developer) is
    all you need. It works for **both** paths and comes with admin access, so you
    can enable the MCP integration and authorize apps yourself without waiting on
    a separate enterprise admin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Your agent, installed and working">
    Use any coding or autonomous agent. Confirm it runs and responds before you
    connect Box.

    <Accordion title="Example: installing Codex">
      ```bash theme={null}
      # via npm
      npm install -g @openai/codex

      # or via Homebrew
      brew install codex

      codex --version
      ```

      Swap these for your own agent's install steps. Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, Pi, and OpenClaw each have their own.
    </Accordion>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Basic terminal familiarity">
    You'll run a handful of commands and edit one or two small config files.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Set up the connection

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Box CLI (service account)">
    The Box CLI turns Box into a headless, scriptable surface. Any agent that can
    run shell commands can then read, upload, search, and organize Box content by
    calling a `box` command.

    The CLI can also call Box AI. The `box ai:ask`, `box ai:text-gen`, and
    `box ai:extract` commands send requests to the Box AI API for content stored in
    Box.

    <Note>
      A free developer account includes 1,000 AI Units each month for testing Box AI
      capabilities. Higher-tier Enterprise plans offer increased AI query limits and
      advanced capabilities. Enable the AI API for your account before using these
      commands.
    </Note>

    You'll authenticate the CLI as a **CCG service account** so the agent gets its own Box identity and only sees folders you explicitly share with it.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Install the Box CLI">
        Install the CLI on the machine where the agent runs:

        ```bash theme={null}
        npm install --global @box/cli
        box --version
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Create a Server app in the Developer Console">
        Go to the [Box Developer Console](https://app.box.com/developers/console) and click **New App**. In the dialog:

        1. Enter an **App Name** (for example, `agent-service`).
        2. Under **App Type**, choose **Server**. If the option displays, select **Client Credentials Grant**.
        3. Click **Create**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authorize the app and copy its credentials">
        Authorize the app in the Developer Console. For enterprise accounts, follow
        the [platform app approval guide](/guides/authorization/platform-app-approval#one-click-authorization)
        or ask an administrator to approve the app.

        In the app's **App Details** sidebar, copy the following values:

        * **Properties**: Enterprise ID
        * **Access**: Client ID and Client Secret
      </Step>

      <Step title="Store the credentials securely">
        Keep credentials outside the agent's working directory and outside source
        control. The JSON file below is only a temporary bootstrap file. Create a
        restricted directory for it:

        ```bash theme={null}
        mkdir -p ~/.box-agent
        chmod 700 ~/.box-agent
        ```

        Create `~/.box-agent/ccg-config.json`:

        ```json theme={null}
        {
          "boxAppSettings": {
            "clientID": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
            "clientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
          },
          "enterpriseID": "YOUR_ENTERPRISE_ID"
        }
        ```

        Restrict the file to your user, then import it into the Box CLI:

        ```bash theme={null}
        chmod 600 ~/.box-agent/ccg-config.json
        box configure:environments:add ~/.box-agent/ccg-config.json --ccg-auth --name service --set-as-current
        rm ~/.box-agent/ccg-config.json
        ```

        The CLI stores the imported environment in your operating system's secure
        credential storage, such as macOS Keychain or Windows Credential Manager.
        On a shared host, in CI, or in production, retrieve the bootstrap values
        from a secret manager at runtime and remove the temporary file immediately.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Verify the service account">
        Confirm that the active CLI environment uses the service account:

        ```bash theme={null}
        box users:get
        ```

        <Check>
          You should see an **automation / app user**, not your personal account. This
          non-human identity is who your agent acts as in Box.

          ```text theme={null}
          Name: agent-service
          Login: AutomationUser_..._....@boxdevedition.com
          ```
        </Check>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Share one project folder">
        Create a project folder in the Box web app, such as `Agent Workspace`. In
        the Developer Console, copy the service account email address from **App
        Details**. In the Box web app, open the project folder, select **Share**,
        and invite that address with the *Editor* role.

        The service account can access only folders shared with it.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Connect the agent and verify access">
        Add instructions for your agent. In Codex, add them to `AGENTS.md` in the
        working directory:

        ```markdown theme={null}
        ## Box access
        - Use the Box CLI for Box operations.
        - Use the active "service" environment only. Do not add or switch credentials.
        - Operate only in folders shared with the service account.
        - Ask before deleting or overwriting content.
        ```

        Then enter this prompt in the agent chat to prove the boundary holds:

        ```text theme={null}
        Use the Box CLI to show the authenticated Box user, then list the items at
        the root level.
        ```

        The agent should identify the automation user and list only the folders
        shared with that identity. In the background, it executes these CLI commands:

        ```bash theme={null}
        box users:get
        box folders:items 0
        ```
      </Step>

      <Step title="Put it to work">
        In the Box web app, open the project folder and note its numeric folder ID
        from the URL. For example, the URL might look like this:

        ```text theme={null}
        https://app.box.com/folder/1234567890
        ```

        The folder ID is the number `1234567890` after `folder/`. Then enter each
        prompt in the agent chat in order; each builds on the last.
        If the agent struggles to find the Agent Workspace folder, give it the folder
        ID noted above:

        1. ```text theme={null}
           Create a short product-launch brief and a separate notes file in the
           Agent Workspace folder.
           ```
        2. ```text theme={null}
           Read the brief and notes in the Agent Workspace folder, draft a one-page
           status summary, and save it in the same folder.
           ```
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Accordion title="Troubleshoot the CLI path">
      * **The CLI shows your personal account**: activate the `service` environment
        with `box configure:environments:set-current service`.
      * **Authorization error**: confirm that the app is approved for the enterprise.
      * **The agent sees no files**: confirm that the service account is a
        collaborator on the project folder.
      * **Box AI permission error**: confirm that the AI API is enabled and that the
        service account can access the target folder.

  <Tab title="Box MCP (hosted server)">
    The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) allows an agent to
    use Box tools for search, Box AI, and file and folder operations. Box hosts the
    server at `https://mcp.box.com`.

    The Box user who completes OAuth determines what the agent can access. On a free
    developer account, sign in as yourself. On a paid plan with an available seat,
    you can create a dedicated managed user and give that user access only to the
    project folder.

    <Info>
      Any MCP client can connect to Box through `https://mcp.box.com` and OAuth.
      This example uses the Box plugin for Codex. See the
      [Box MCP platform setup guides](/guides/box-mcp/index#platform-setup-guides)
      for other clients.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Enable the integration">
        <Badge>Admin</Badge>

        1. Sign in to the [Box Admin Console](https://app.box.com/master).
        2. Select **Integrations** in the left navigation, then search for
           **ChatGPT** and set its availability to the users who need it. For a
           different MCP client, enable that client's integration instead.
        3. Select **Box AI** in the left navigation, then open **Settings**. Enable
           **AI API** and **Official Box Integrations** for the required users or for all
           users.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Choose the Box user for OAuth">
        On a free developer account, use your own Box user. The agent has the same
        access as your account, so use this option only when that access level is
        appropriate.

        On a paid plan, create a dedicated managed user, such as
        `agent@acme.com`. Create a project folder, such as `Agent Workspace`, and
        share that folder with the managed user using the *Editor* role. The agent
        then accesses the content available to that managed user.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Install the Box plugin">
        Open the Codex app or start a Codex CLI chat. In the chat input, enter:

        ```text theme={null}
        /plugins
        ```

        Open the plugin marketplace, search for **Box**, and install the plugin.
        Complete the OAuth flow with the Box user selected in the previous step.

        <Note>
          Using a different agent? You can connect to the same server
          (`https://mcp.box.com`) elsewhere: in Claude, add Box under **Connectors**;
          in Cursor, add it as a
          remote MCP server; other platforms follow their own "add MCP server" flow and
          then the same OAuth sign-in. If you have a dedicated user, always **authorize
          as that user, not yourself**. That's what keeps the agent scoped.
        </Note>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm the MCP server">
        In the same agent chat, enter:

        ```text theme={null}
        /mcp
        ```

        Confirm that the Box server is connected and that its tools are available.

        <Check>
          You should see the Box server connected, exposing tools such as
          `search_files_keyword`, `ai_qa_single_file`, `upload_file`, and
          `list_folder_content_by_folder_id`.
        </Check>
      </Step>

      <Step title="Confirm the agent's access and run a task">
        In the agent chat, enter:

        ```text theme={null}
        Use the Box tools to identify the authenticated Box user and list the items
        at the root level.
