Hi All,

 

Trying to build an integration between Salesforce and Box and trying to push several files stored in salesforce up to Box w/ custom metadata.

 

I am able to upload a single file at a time using the https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content upload file api call.  But how would I be able to send multiple files in a single request.  I have seen 0 examples or mention of this but have seen that the V2 API is able to do this.

   Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to upload multiple files in a single request. However, you can upload more than one file at the same time by making parallel requests to the Upload File endpoint.

  Thanks for the response Murtza!

   

  That's too bad about the multiple files in a single request but good to know that I can make concurrent calls to the upload endpoint. 

   

  Any idea on how many concurrent calls can be made so I can ensure I stay within the limits?

   

  Thanks again.

  Hello ,

   

  here you can see information regarding limits: https://community.box.com/t5/Developer-Forum/FAQ-Box-Platform-and-APIs/td-p/14768

   

  There is a limitation of 10 requests per user and second. So, if you are using a single specific user I understand that you would be able to perform a 10-thread process if it takes at least 1 second.

   

  Hope it helps!

   

  Regards
