I use gem 'boxr', I want to get a thumbnail of the uploaded file, the code is:

 

image = client.thumbnail(
file, min_height: 300, min_width: 300,
max_height: nil, max_width: nil
)

But instead I get this image

 

How do I get a thumbnail of a uploaded file, but not this picture with a format image?

  Unfortunately, the existing thumbnail APIs that is using underneath don't fetch what your are looking for.

  The newer APIs will have that https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#fetching-a-thumbnail-representation

  Yes,, is there any chance we can do it, it concerns my company as well. We are force to move from Crocodoc/BoxView and thumbnail generating was one of the major features we used before.

  Try this URL

  http://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference?showHidden=fed3c#representations

   

  The section is currently hidden, but that link should hopefully show it.

  This is our new representation API to fetch the file contents.
