Hello Box Gurus,

Trying to extract retention policies. But getting an error. Is my API endpoint correct ?

sdk = JWTAuth(
client_id="myclientid",
client_secret="myclientsecret",
enterprise_id="12345",
jwt_key_id="myjwtkeyid",
rsa_private_key_file_sys_path="myprivate.pem",
)

client = Client(sdk)
retention_policies = client.get_retention_policies()

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'get_retention_policies'

It looks like you're using the Box Python SDK — what version are you on? That method was only added in v2.0.0, which was recently released.

Awesome. That was it. Running an older version of sdk. Did a pip upgrade and error went away. I have a follow up question.

How do I access/iterate through this object ?

Thanks Again.

The Python SDK docs have examples for how to use most of the functions of the SDK — please refer to those. In general, for API endpoints that return a collection, the SDK returns an iterator that you can use in a for-in loop or manually advance by calling next() on it.

I did try to iterate, but it was giving me an error. After closer inspection, I found my authentication needs higher privileges.

"error_description="The request requires higher privileges than provided by the access token."'

Thanks again for the quick response. Really appreciated.
