Box

Integrate your application with the Box API

🚀 Quickstart

Connect to Box with Nango and see data flow in 2 minutes.

1. Create the integration

   In Nango (free signup), go to Integrations -> Configure New Integration -> Box. Nango doesn’t provide a test OAuth app for Box yet. You’ll need to set up your own by following these instructions. After that, make sure to add the OAuth client ID, secret, and scopes in the integration settings in Nango.

2. Authorize Box

   Go to Connections -> Add Test Connection -> Authorize, then log in to Box. Later, you’ll let your users do the same directly from your app.

3. Call the Box API

   Let’s make your first request to the Box API (fetch the profile of the currently signed-in user). Replace the placeholders below with your secret key, integration ID, and connection ID:

   cURL

   curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/2.0/users/me" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
     -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
     -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
   

   Node

   Install Nango’s backend SDK with npm i @nangohq/node. Then run:

   import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
   
   const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });
   
   const res = await nango.get({
       endpoint: '/2.0/users/me',
       providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
       connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
   });
   
   console.log(res.data);
   

   Or fetch credentials with the Node SDK or API.

   ✅ You’re connected! Check the Logs tab in Nango to inspect requests.
