I tried this:

 

 curl -L https://api.box.com/2.0/folder/FOLDER_ID/items -H "Authorization: Bearer AUTH_KEY"

Error:

 

{"type":"error","status":401,"code":"unauthorized","help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Unauthorized - Cannot authorize with this service","request_id":"l7g1fffudda0ncc

  Hello, 

   

  Thanks so much for using the Platform and Development Forum! 

   

  Can you please provide the full body response? I am specifically looking for the complete "request id", so I can take a look at our backend logs. 

   

  Best, 

  Kourtney

  Is there a update on this question?  I have seen there is a zip download option on the API page. I am not quite sure how to use it. Is there a example using curl?

  Thank you!

  Hi , at the time of writing we did not have an API for this yet, but now we do!
