Hi,

 

I am brand new to the Box CLI. I am slowly finding my way around, but I have a question on bulk lookups. I have a list of Box User IDs provided to me by Box I plan to run against in the CLI for deletion. However, I need to check the list of IDs I have to make sure one final time they have no zero space being used.

 

The Box report I got from Support has this field labeled as "Space Used (MB). How can I import a CSV file into Box through the CLI containing just the IDs and have it give me back another CSV file containing the User Email, ID, and Space Used?

 

I can find this for individual users using box users:search EMAIL or box users:get ID, but there doesn't seem to be any bulk commands for this.

 

Thanks for your time.

  Hi ,

   

  Here's the way that I would recommend handling it:

  1. Create a csv with all of the IDs that you want to gain space information for.
  2. Call box users:get, and supply in the --bulk-file-path=bulk-file-path option with the path to that csv. That will be the bulk option for the parameter. You should also set the --csv option to return the response data as csv.
  3. Pipe the response data out to another csv file to get the appropriate data. 

  So, the command might look something like this:

   

  box users:get --bulk-file-path=FILE_PATH --csv > data.csv
