Hi, I am a beginner in Box development.

I need to get familiar with Box API, so I started with 'curl' method for learning.

I am trying to execute a curl command 'shared item', but unfortunately I am unable to set the header (parameters) correctly. Please let me know, what does Box Api header means. If you can give me a sample input for its execution, I will be very thankful.

Following is the shared link I have:

https://app.box.com/s/vrvaf2wxdiwf11bup5w0bb5w08ihenz3/1/***number removed for privacy***3

P.s. I did some research online to find solution to my problem, but remained unsuccessful in getting any response.

Thanks.

The curl example for that endpoint is this:

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_CODE"
-H "BoxApi: shared_link=SHARED_LINK"

So for you, the call would be

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_CODE"
-H "BoxApi: shared_link=https://app.box.com/s/vrvaf2wxdiwf11bup5w0bb5w08ihenz3/1/***number removed for privacy***3"

You might need to URL-encode the shared link value, but I'm not sure.

If the shared link has a password, then you'd need to do

curl https://api.box.com/2.0/shared_items
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_CODE"
-H "BoxApi: shared_link=SHARED_LINK&shared_link_password=SHARED_LINK_PASSWORD"

Hi, thank you for your reply.
Can you please tell me what argument should I pass to the "BoxApi" (string) parameter to test this feature on "try it" (as can be seen in the screenshot) on Box API reference?
I want to test some features on this tool, before I can develop my app, since it's beneficial in learning different references of Box API.

Thanks.

I just tried it, and it looks like that endpoint isn't quite working as intended. I filed a bug for it to be fixed.

In the meantime, you should be able to get it to work by typing shared_link=YOUR_SHARED_LINK into the value for BoxApi, and leaving the other fields blank.

and , we recently updated the docs for how to access shared items via the API. Please let me know if this provides the information you were looking for: https://docs.box.com/reference#get-a-shared-item
