SDKs and Tools

Thanks to ​ Kamil, and  ​@shurrey Box for yesterday’s overview and demo of Box MCP server.  Recording clipsFull recording hereOverview of MCP Server and Box MCP Server. Recording clip hereOpen Source MCP Server, and customer Q&A. Recording clip here Addressing Challenges of AI in Enterprise DataKamil opened by identifying a pain point for enterprises: the disconnect between AI tools and enterprise content. According to Kamil, this separation leads to underutilized data and inefficiencies. Recording clip here"AI tools are disconnected from enterprise content. Employees don't get full value when the AI tools and the data they have are not connected together."Furthermore, security risks abound when employees upload sensitive files to external AI platforms, exposing enterprises to potential data leaks, compliance violations, and governance pitfalls. Custom-built integrations, while a potential solution, pose another challenge as they are complicated, expensive, and difficult to sustain

Hi, I’d like to make a request to have the dll in Nuget package signed by Box. The package itself is signed, but Box.V2.dll. Microsoft is introducing Smart App Control and having dlls signed gets more important.

Dear Forum, When running BoxAPI through an internal proxy, I am having trouble because [EE certificate key too weak] SSLError has occurred. Internal proxy information is set in Python-BoxSDK, Skipping certificate validation will prevent SSLError from occurring. Please let me know the cause of the above problem and how to resolve it. My personal opinion is that the security strength of the certificate sent from the internal proxy is too weak. 【SSL Error】 requests.exceptions.SSLError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘api.box.com’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /oauth2/token (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, ‘[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: EE certificate key too weak (_ssl.c:997)’)))

I have an intermittent problem where the Python Box SDK is raising the following exception when generating a down scoped token. The code works most of the time but occasionally will stop working for a few minutes. Do the JWT tokens need to be expired or released? The code is being run from an AWS Lambda and the downscoped token only needs to be used once. Is there API rate limit. I don’t think I’m near it usage would be less then 30 an hour but maybe multiple in quick succession. Our Box Account is Business Plus. boxsdk.exception.BoxAPIException: Message: The subject_token provided is invalid The code that is generating the error is in the used to create a downscoped token that can be used by a Box Preview embed: config = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('cert/abcd_1234_config.json') client = Client(config) target_file = client.file(file_id=file_id) token_info = client.downscope_token(['item_preview', 'annotation_view_all', 'annotation_edit'], target_file) Full Error Trace Traceback (most

Hi, I’m a little stuck on this. We use box for our storage for clients (organisations) and with each client, we open a new folder. The functionality I’m looking for is for an internal admin webapp. When a user logs in to the admin app, I want to retrieve a service account token so then when they create an organisation, it triggers a new folder created in the enterprise account. All the client_ids etc are in the .env and in the dev console, the custom app is fine. Here is a copy of my server.js: const BoxSDK = require('box-node-sdk'); // Box configuration app.get('/api/box-access-token', cors(corsOptions), async (req, res) => { const sdkConfig = { boxAppSettings: { clientID: process.env.BOX_CLIENT_ID, clientSecret: process.env.BOX_CLIENT_SECRET, }, enterpriseID: process.env.ENTERPRISE_ID, } const sdk = BoxSDK.getPreconfiguredInstance(sdkConfig) const client = sdk.getAnonymousClient(); // Extract the necessary information con

Hello , do we have a sample to get the refresh token in Python Gen SDK ? and those any rule to using refresh token ? like i am a Dev account can we using the refresh token ? and where can get the authorization code ? if Enterprise account do we need refresh token ? Many thanks !

Hello dear box.com support team, Perhaps someone here can help me… but first, some information: TB: 115.6.1 (64-Bit) OS: Windows 10 Account Type: POP Mailbox Provider (split): SMTP marec.de (own domain) / POP (Incoming server:) gmail.com Storage Service (the one that is / isn’t working ;)): box (box.com) AV: Windows Defender Firewall: Windows Defender (and Fritzbox) On the subject: For many years, I have been using the Box (box.com) add-on with Filelink (from a certain attachment size). It has always worked great. However, for some time now, the upload always fails, I can no longer use Box (box.com) in conjunction with Thunderbird. There is no further error message, except that the “upload failed”. I have already “uninstalled” and re-set up the service several times → no improvement. If I try it e.g. 5 times with Box (box.com), it may work on the 5th try or already on the third try or only on the 7th try and sometimes not even then. Since I have a lot and enough storage at Box, I am in

Hi @rbarbosa we have created app with CCG and were trying to get access token with client credentials (client id,secret ,box service id ,box sevice type)in POSTMAN. WE got following error : "error":“unauthorized_client”,“error_description”:“The grant type is unauthorized for this client_id”} " And also “Authrozition” tab is also not active (no clickable).it is my doubt that we logging to site with diff user then Admin user.If that is the case , how can we know the admin user name

We’ve integrated Box with Apache NiFi, there is a processor which puts files to Box folders. In case the folder does not exist, it is created by NiFi. Usually there are several nodes in NiFi cluster so two or more NiFi instances try to create the same folder in Box parallel. Normally Box returns 409 (conflict) in case the folder is being created while another request arrives for the creation of the same folder, the NiFi processor handles this case. Although we experienced intermittent failures during our system tests when subfolders are created in Box (e.g. folder1/folder2/folder3) . Sometimes the folder is created twice with the same name, e.g. we have two “folder1” which is considered illegal since folder names are unique in Box. It seems Box does not throw an error in some cases and creates a folder with an existing name. Is it a known issue maybe? We use box-java-sdk, 4.4.0.

I’m trying to download the files of the publicly shared KUL fall simulation dataset (Box), as I access the server I want to run my AI training on via ssh and of course don’t have a browser there. Also I’d like to avoid copying 20GB of videos via ssh or something. My app successfully authenticates and obtains the folder ID from the shared link using client.get_shared_item(shared_link), it returns “44028703597” as the folder ID. Then I call folder_items = client.folder(folder_id).get_items(), no problems here. Now when I try to iterate over that, I get an error message that the folder with the ID “d_44028703597” can’t be found, which is weird because in the same message I can see that the SDK calls GET https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/44028703597/items?offset=0, without the d_ prefix. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? My app has read permission, I can’t see anything else it might need to read public files.

Hi, I’m new using Box.com’s Java SDK. The application I’m working is trying to use Java to connect to Box.com in order to download a file. The application is a Spring Boot project, version 2.5.9, compiled using Java 8. The code below “fails” in method: BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(boxConfig, tokenCache). The method does not throw an error and never comes back from the call. The thread this process is in Stops. try { Reader reader = new FileReader("D:/Box/xxxxxxx_config.json"); BoxConfig boxConfig = BoxConfig.readFrom(reader); IAccessTokenCache tokenCache = new InMemoryLRUAccessTokenCache(100); BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection api = BoxDeveloperEditionAPIConnection.getAppEnterpriseConnection(boxConfig, tokenCache); BoxFile file = new BoxFile(api, "1081XXXXXXXXX"); BoxFile.Info info = file.getInfo(); FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(info.getName()); file.download(stream); try
