Hi Box community,

 

How is it possible to get the OAuth2 authentification handled automatically server side without human intervention?

 

I'm using the python Box SDK however I'm blocked on how to get the refresh and access token programmatically. I can get them manually via the browser (with the code argument) but I don't know how to do them automatically.

 

Thanks,

-Alex

  Hi ,

   

  You'll need to use OAuth2 with JWT for that. Standard OAuth 2 requires interaction from the user to sign in and accept your app permissions.

   

  Here's a quickstart on working with this method: https://developer.box.com/docs/authenticate-with-jwt (includes Python samples).
