    Hi  - 

     

    Thank you for your interest in Box View API! We are developing our upgraded version of this content preview service. Because we don't want our customers to migrate just after creating a new app, we have shut down the ability to create new apps with View API (Existing apps should work as-is).

    In the interim, our Content API does have the ability to use similar technology to generate document viewing sessions. Please see the documentation on our website here: https://box-content.readme.io/reference#get-embed-link

    Thanks  so much for your response!

     

    Once I have the temporary embed link, what should I do to allow users to automatically begin viewing the file?

     

    Thank you!

    Once you have the embed link, you can view the content by opening the link in an iFrame.

    Is there any way that we can return the embedded link (in some form) to Box from our web app (via callbacks?) such that it causes the page to redirect to the provided link?  

     

    Thank you!
