Where can i find developer token in box. I am new to Box APIs. Created an account and i can see Client ID, Primary Access Token and Secondary Access Token. I am getting 404 error when i use Primary Access Token to upload file to box. Is Primary Access Token same as developer token?

 

Any help is appreciated.

     a partner integration does not have the developer token as it already comes with 2 access tokens out of the Box. It is also not meant for uploading files. 

     

    You will want to create a Custom Application probably, and then you can create a Developer Token via the interface.

    Thank You..I created custom app and now i can see the developer token access. Issues still existing with developer token as well. Not sure what mistake i am doing in my code...

     

    My JAVA Code:

    import java.io.FileInputStream;
    import java.util.logging.Level;
    import java.util.logging.Logger;

    import com.box.sdk.BoxAPIConnection;
    import com.box.sdk.BoxFile;
    import com.box.sdk.BoxFolder;
    import com.box.sdk.BoxItem;
    import com.box.sdk.BoxUser;

    public class BoxTest {

    private static final String DEVELOPER_TOKEN = "------";

    private static final int MAX_DEPTH = 3;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // Turn off logging to prevent polluting the output.
    Logger.getLogger("com.box.sdk").setLevel(Level.OFF);

    BoxAPIConnection client = new BoxAPIConnection(DEVELOPER_TOKEN);

    BoxUser.Info userInfo = BoxUser.getCurrentUser(client).getInfo();
    System.out.format("Welcome, %s <%s>!\n\n", userInfo.getName(), userInfo.getLogin());

    // Set upload values
    String filePath = "C:/eclipse/test.txt";
    String fileName = "Test.txt";
    String folderId = "Test";

    // Select Box folder
    BoxFolder folder = new BoxFolder(client, folderId);

    // Upload file
    FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream(filePath);
    BoxFile.Info newFileInfo = folder.uploadFile(stream, fileName);
    stream.close();

    }
    }

    You need to provide a valid Box folder ID, try "0" for your root folder.
