    If you can access the admin console reporting section, you should be able to follow these instructions!

    Hi Alex, 

    I exported and check the result.

    Does it count for API Callout via Toolkit (Box for Salesforce)?

    It should show any platform activity. What are you seeing?

    Hi Alex, 

    here is result

    I also tried method 1 and method 2 in June, but csv result show only api call count for method 2 result.
    method 2 is using Named Credential and Salesforce Auth Provider with Box App (App Name: Files Connect).
    method 1 is using toolkit to send request so it doesn't count?

    Method 1

        public static String GetFileInfoByToolkit(String fileId) {
            // Instantiate the Toolkit object
            box.Toolkit toolkit = new box.Toolkit();
            
            // Specify the Box API endpoint to call
            String endpoint = 'https://api.box.com/2.0/files/'+ fileId +'/';
            
            // Create a new HttpRequest object and set appropriate values
            HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
            request.setMethod('GET');
            request.setEndpoint(endpoint);
            request.setHeader('content-type', 'application/json');        
           
            // Send the HttpRequest through the generic Toolkit method, which will handle the authentication details
            HttpResponse response = toolkit.sendRequest(request);
            
            System.debug('response body '+ response.getBody());
            
            return null;
        }

    Method 2

        public static String GetFileInfoByNamedCredential(String fileId){        
            // Specify the Box API endpoint to call (using named credential)
            String endpoint = 'callout:custBox/2.0/files/'+ fileId +'/';
            
            // Create a new HttpRequest object and set appropriate values
            HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
            request.setMethod('GET');
            request.setEndpoint(endpoint);
            request.setHeader('content-type', 'application/json');   
            
            Http http = new Http();
            HttpResponse response = http.send(request);        
            SYstem.debug('response body '+ response.getBody());        
            return null;
        }

    Thanks

    I believe the value in the "App Name" column is whatever you named the application that the account under service account is tied to.

    Hi Alex,

    How can I find which App is connected to Box for Salesforce?

    In Salesforce, go to the Box app and look at the settings tab. What account is listed under the Box Service Account - like my screenshot above?

    Sorry to send you on a little chase! When you use a custom application (like your method 2 above), the platform report will show the activity. When you use the developer toolkit, it does not show up on that report it turns out. I forgot that the SFDC process doesn't require you to set up an application. 

    Taking a step back, when are you curious about the number of API calls? Are you seeing an issue that is making you ask about this?

    Thanks Alex,
    As I think toolkit API call not show in report!
    Yes, we have to migrate existing files to Box from Salesforce. There are over 2 millions files so we have to move in daily apex scheduled batch in which Toolkit method used. That is why I want to know daily api call outs.
