Using Box API with BP

SarthakMukherje — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 08:45:00 GMT

I am trying to use Box APIs (https://developer.box.com/reference/) for a project. From what I understand I need to have an access token to gain access to the Box account using the APIs.
I need help generating and retrieving this Box access token using Blue Prism.

Anybody having experience with similar scenarios or anybody who have used Box APIs in their projects, it would be great if you can help me out on this.

Hi Sarthak,

Looking at this page from the API reference guide it appears that you can request an access token from Blue Prism and the returned JSON response from the Box server will contain the access token (look at the response example in that page). Try setting up a Web API Services definition for Box in your Blue Prism settings page, following this guide:
