I have a file that I have shared as "People with the link" and have set a password for the share. I am trying to figure out how to use the cURL command to download that file.

I can use cURL to download fine as long as I dont have a password on it.

Thanks for the help.

If cURL is not the best method, I am open to other options.

I just need a way to use Terminal on a Mac to download a file on Box that has a password.

Hi Jason,

there is a get shared item call which lets you specify the password:
```
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items?fields=type,id
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
-H "BoxApi: shared_link=SHARED_LINK_URL&shared_link_password=PASSWORD"
```
You can find the full documentation here:

https://developer.box.com/v2.0/reference#get-a-shared-item

Let me know if this worked for you.

Thanks

Johannes

I get this error message:

`{"type":"error","status":404,"code":"not_found","help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Not Found","request_id":"qdmntzfq332zubej"}`

Has anyone ever successfully downloaded a file from box? How did you do it? Thanks!

How do you get that token without manually firing up a browser and logging into box? I'd like to be able to automate the whole thing.

You need to create an auth token using the developer panel.

https://app.box.com/developers/console

You should be able to find that link lower left when you are logged into your box account.

I'm just figuring this out myself, and have not yet succeeded at using the API.
