We are converting our application to the New Box API for the January 15th deadline and these are the calls we need to convert. I can't seem to find anything in the docs for the upgrade - only new documentation. So I am asking those who went through the conversion process, is there documentation somewhere that I am missing? What are the recommended code changes? Pitfalls? Gotchas?

 

Specifically, what are the Box Java SDK equivalents to these calls?

  Hello! Have you read through https://developer.box.com/docs/getting-started-with-new-box-view?

   

  At a high level:

  • Create a new Box application with 'App Auth' - this gets you a (potentially) permanent access token you can use to make the following requests
  • https://view-api.box.com/1/sessions maps to https://api.box.com/2.0/files/FILE_ID?fields=expiring_embed_link (see https://developer.box.com/reference#get-embed-link) 
  • https://upload.view-api.box.com/1/documents maps to https://upload.box.com/api/2.0/files/content (see https://developer.box.com/reference#upload-a-file)

  Our customer support reps can walk you through the exact differences between the two. There's also a migration guide available at https://cloud.app.box.com/notes/100002123367?s=twr1wxf9fdtfoojqogi0wgbqaa0w840s.

   

  Happy holidays!
