    List trashed items

    get
    https://api.box.com/2.0
    /folders/trash/items

    This endpoint is in the version 2024.0. No changes are required to continue using it. For more details, see Box API versioning.

    Retrieves the files and folders that have been moved to the trash.

    Any attribute in the full files or folders objects can be passed in with the fields parameter to retrieve those specific attributes that are not returned by default.

    This endpoint defaults to use offset-based pagination, yet also supports marker-based pagination using the marker parameter.

    Request

    bearer [ACCESS_TOKEN]
    application/json

    Query Parameters

    stringin queryoptional
    ASC

    The direction to sort results in. This can be either in alphabetical ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC) order.

    Value is one of ASC,DESC

    string arrayin queryoptional
    id,type,name

    A comma-separated list of attributes to include in the response. This can be used to request fields that are not normally returned in a standard response.

    Be aware that specifying this parameter will have the effect that none of the standard fields are returned in the response unless explicitly specified, instead only fields for the mini representation are returned, additional to the fields requested.

    integer (int64)in queryoptional
    1000
    1000

    The maximum number of items to return per page.

    stringin queryoptional
    JV9IRGZmieiBasejOG9yDCRNgd2ymoZIbjsxbJMjIs3kioVii

    Defines the position marker at which to begin returning results. This is used when paginating using marker-based pagination.

    This requires usemarker to be set to true.

    integer (int64)in queryoptional
    1000
    0

    The offset of the item at which to begin the response.

    Queries with offset parameter value exceeding 10000 will be rejected with a 400 response.

    stringin queryoptional
    name

    Defines the second attribute by which items are sorted.

    Items are always sorted by their type first, with folders listed before files, and files listed before web links.

    This parameter is not supported when using marker-based pagination.

    Value is one of name,date,size

    booleanin queryoptional
    true

    Specifies whether to use marker-based pagination instead of offset-based pagination. Only one pagination method can be used at a time.

    By setting this value to true, the API will return a marker field that can be passed as a parameter to this endpoint to get the next page of the response.

    Response

    application/jsonItems

    Returns a list of items that have been deleted

    application/jsonClient error

    Returns an error if some of the parameters are missing or not valid.

    • invalid_parameter can appear when the sort, direction or offset parameter is provided when using marker based pagination, or when the marker parameter is provided but usemarker is set to false or null.
    application/jsonClient error

    An unexpected client error.
