Box Prerequisites (Aspire 2)

Box Account

Before installing the Aspire Box Connector, make sure that:

• Have a Box account available
• You have the admin or owner user of the account. and get registered for an API key (https://app.box.com/developers/services/edit/)
• You will also need to create a Box application (please view Administration FAQ
  • You have a Box APP created (please view Create the App)
  • You have the Box Client ID (please view Get Client Id)
  • You have the Box Client Secret (please view Get Client Secret)
  • You have the Box API Key (please view Get API Key)
• After getting the id and secret, you need to generate the access token and refresh token. These values are necessary because Box uses the standard OAuth 2.0 for authentication and authorization of users.(please view Box Access and Refresh Tokens

You will need all those credentials later, as part of installing the Box Connector.

Windows or Linux

The Aspire Box connector can run on either Windows or Linux. It uses the REST API (Box Content API 2.0 version) over HTTP or HTTPS to communicate with Box.
