    It depends on which interface you want to use.  For command line you can follow the guide https://developer.box.com/guides/cli/quick-start and do not need to handle the auth process explicitly.  For API (python, .Net, Node, ...) you will need to know the app configuration (clien id, client secret ,...) and make a few function calls.  However, you may get a useless token like some of us experience in the post with the subject "How can I create and API token for python program"
