How to get user activity on files and folders
Answered
Is it possible to get a user activity log (which files were load, edited, downloaded etc.) for the certain user by BOX API?

You can access this information by using the enterprise events endpoint!

This info is interesting:
Box does not store all user and enterprise events for all time. Please see the retention policy for user and enterprise events below.
User Events Retention Policy - We store user events for between 2 weeks and 2 months, after which they are removed.
Enterprise Events Retention Policy - Enterprise events are accessible for up to 7 years via the reports section in the Box Admin Console. Enterprise events are accessible for up to 1 year via the Enterprise Events endpoint.
So the API only has access to 1 year but report GUI has 7? We're looking to automate user event report as part of user de-provisioning process. We'd need the data for user since user was provisioned (or 7 years).
