    Hi,

    I am proxying the Box API in an API Management system.
    This is the form data (below) being passed to https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content

    Can the Box API handle this?

    Thanks, Nick

    @nick, i am also looking for same usecase, glad i found this topic.

    @alex, can you please let us know if BOX API can handle this kind or request which @nick has provided. i am trying similar request since yesterday but not getting any luck.

     

    curl -L -X POST 'https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content' \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer <<BearerToken>>' \
    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data-raw '----------------------------abc123
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="attributes"

    {"name": "test.json","parent": {"id": "0"}}
    ----------------------------abc123
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.json"

    "ewANAAoAIAAgACAAIgBtAHMAZwAiADoAIAAiAHQAaABpAHMAIABpAHMAIAB0AGUAcwB0ACAAZgBpAGwAZQAiAA0ACgB9AA=="

    Hey Nick and Danish, 

    Based on the docs here, there are a few request examples of what will work. Below I have put the syntax from the Node example and a curl example.  

    var stream = fs.createReadStream('/path/to/My File.pdf');
    curl --location --request POST 'https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content' \
    --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
    --header 'Authorization: Bearer <dev_token>' \
    --form 'attributes="{
    \"name\": \"schedule.pdf\",
    \"parent\": {
    \"id\": \"123864949669\"
    }
    }"' \
    --form 'file=@"/Users/<username>/Downloads/Schedule.pdf"'

    I would recommend using one of these vs manually building out a multipart/form-data. If you can't reference a file at a specific location, you can use the example under request format here to help you piece together what the form-data should look like. 

    Are you all getting a specific error?

    Thank you Alex, i am able to use the specifications as per BOX API documentation and it works totally fine with Postman or CURL.

    The issue is I need to integration BOX API with Alteryx, and somehow Alteryx is NOT able to utilize multipart/form-data feature (submitted SR with Alteryx Support) and giving below error:

    {"code":"bad_request","help_url":"http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors","status":400,"message":"the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found","type":"error"}

    So I thought to mimic the multipart/form-data as data-raw and POST to BOX Upload File API, in order to make it work. I had used this solution with another API and it worked so thought it will work with BOX too.

    Is there any way we can send the data as simple POST which BOX Upload File API can consume?

    Thank you

    Danish

    Yes I get the same error:

    {"code":"bad_request","help_url":"http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors","status":400,"message":"the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found","type":"error"}


    I can call the Box API with cURL using the syntax from the Box API Reference no problem (and also from Postman).

    However when my API Mgmt tool handles the form-data I pass to it (via cURL or Postman), the form-data is detailed in the format I showed above and errors out:

    {"code":"bad_request","help_url":"http://developers.box.com/docs/#errors","status":400,"message":"the request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found","type":"error"}

    Looks to me like the Box API does not like the format shown above....

    Hey folks, 

    I filed an internal request to ask if this is possible. I will follow up with what I hear back.

    Hi Everyone! 

    We finally found something that worked. Can you try syntax similar to this and report back? 

    curl -v -L -X POST "https://upload.app.box.com/api/2.1/files/content" -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e" -d $'--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="attributes"\r\n\r\n{"name":"upload3.txt","parent":{"id":"0"}}\r\n--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="upload3.txt"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\nabcd12345\r\n--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e--\r\n'

    Thanks,

    Hello Alex,

    I am using Alteryx Designer (an analytical application) to call Box REST API, and using Fiddler to capture the request/response of API. Below is the screenshot of request/response to Box Upload API and its still not accepting the request.

    Thank you for looking into this issue.

    Hi Alex,

    So I changed my API to use the different Content-Type (within the API management tool) and passed the data/body syntax you suggested, with a link to a PDF document on my laptop etc.
    This time there is no error returned by Box and a file is created in the Box Folder. However the file is only 9 bytes in size which does not reflect the file I referenced.
    Did you test your findings using PDFs? Maybe there is a different body/data needed for PDFs or maybe that syntax just doesn't pick up the PDF file itself?

    My cURL command (I could not get Postman to even acknowledge the file referenced "API upload did not contain file part"):

    curl --location --request POST 'https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/sandbox/box-api-test/upload-file' --header 'X-IBM-Client-Id: XXXXXXXXX' --header 'X-IBM-Client-Secret: XXXXXXXXXX' --data-raw $'--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="attributes"\r\n\r\n{"name":"Example.pdf","parent":{"id":"138473599584"}}\r\n--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="/Users/XXXXXX/Downloads/Nick.pdf"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\nabcd12345\r\n--9d5297abcceec4bbe730970a1a420d5e--\r\n'

    Maybe this syntax for picking up the file is wrong?
    filename="/Users/XXXXXX/Downloads/Nick.pdf"

    Thanks, Nick

    Danish - it may not be possible for this to work in Alteryx. What we are attempting to do is manually build the form that curl builds itself when you input a file path. I'm curious, does it work in Alteryx if you input a file path? 

    Nick - the file name should just be the Nick.pdf portion... you don't need the file path there unless you want it in the name. You could try using a different content type in the body portion. I believe its application/pdf...

    Hello Alex,

    I understand that we are trying work around to make this upload API work which is not the right way, but was giving a shot if we can make it work.

    In Alteryx we need to read the file and convert content in base64 encoding before we can call Box upload api. There is no option in Alteryx to provide the file path in REST API call.

    I have opened a SR with Alteryx to troubleshoot this issue, hope they will come back with resolution.

    Thank you for your support.

    Got this to work today - I had a set of steps in "my API" that generated the bearer token and then uploaded the file.

    I took out the token generation and passed the token to the API and it worked as intended.

    Just need to figure out why the token generation messed up the calls....but at least file upload works.
