Need file ID to construct sharelinkURL

Hi,

 

My box folder is mounted as a volume on my unix terminal (macos high sierra). I am able to find certain files that match a certain pattern via a bash script (a find command). Now I want to extend the script to generate for each file that matches the pattern, its BOX sharelinkURL. I can't think of a way to do this and have looked at the documentation and cannot find a direct answer.

 

The stumbling block is obtaining the file ID, because once I have that, I can potentially construct the sharelinkURL myself.

 

Is there a way to get the box client (Box Drive) to tell me what the file ID is?

Is there a way to query the box.com api to tell me, given a file path, what that file's ID is?

Is there a way to query the box.com api to send me a dump of all my files with their IDs, and I can then hunt for the files that I want and get their IDs from that dump?

 

Many thanks,

    • No, but you can pluck the file id from the url on the Box Web UI

    • Box works off of file and folder ids, so you'd probably need to use search https://developer.box.com/reference/get-search/ to query for the file
  • Is there a way to query the box.com api to send me a dump of all my files with their IDs, and I can then hunt for the files that I want and get their IDs from that dump? 
    • This endpoint will give you a list of items at the root level https://developer.box.com/reference/get-folders-id-items/  .You could probably write a script to iterate through and print out all of the files in your root folder.
