Box

Access the Box API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage files, folders, collaborations, shared links, and cloud storage.

Quick Start

# Get current user info python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/{resource} The gateway proxies requests to api.box.com/2.0 and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY: export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Box OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=box&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'box'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF Response: { "connection": { "connection_id": "bd484938-0902-4fc0-9ffb-2549d7d91f1d", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2026-02-08T21:14:41.808115Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-02-08T21:16:10.100340Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "box", "metadata": {} } } Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Box connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'bd484938-0902-4fc0-9ffb-2549d7d91f1d') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

JavaScript

const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders/0/items', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); const data = await response.json();

Python

import os import requests response = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders/0/items', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} ) data = response.json()

Python (Create Folder)

import os import requests response = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/folders', headers={ 'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, json={ 'name': 'New Folder', 'parent': {'id': '0'} } ) folder = response.json() print(f"Created folder: {folder['id']}")

Notes

Root folder ID is 0 File uploads use upload.box.com instead of api.box.com Delete operations return 204 No Content on success Use fields parameter to request specific fields and reduce response size Shared links can have password protection and expiration dates Some operations (list users, create webhooks) require enterprise admin permissions ETags can be used for conditional updates with If-Match header IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

StatusMeaning400Missing Box connection or bad request401Invalid or missing Maton API key403Insufficient permissions for the operation404Resource not found409Conflict (e.g., item with same name exists)429Rate limited4xx/5xxPassthrough error from Box API Box errors include detailed messages: { "type": "error", "status": 409, "code": "item_name_in_use", "message": "Item with the same name already exists" }

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

Ensure your URL path starts with box. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/box/2.0/users/me Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/2.0/users/me
