API Access for customers?

Answered

Hello,

Id like to be able to grant my customers API access to their own folders on my box account so they can programmatically download files. I assume these would mean creating an app for each customer and providing them with the keys and then adding the service account for that app, to each customers folder. 

My question is: Is this the best way? If yes, is there a way to automate the process?

    Hi Harry, 

    Your customers can actually make an application in their own enterprise account. They are able to have the same access to files that they would through the web app through the API. You would also not need to collaborate the service account into the content if they make an as-user call. 

    Thanks.
