    Parameters:
    
    listener - a listener to listen to Box API connection.
  - removeListener
```
public void removeListener(BoxAPIConnectionListener listener)
```

  - getRequestInterceptor
```
public RequestInterceptor getRequestInterceptor()
```
    Gets the RequestInterceptor associated with this API connection.

    the RequestInterceptor associated with this API connection.
  - setRequestInterceptor
```
public void setRequestInterceptor(RequestInterceptor interceptor)
```
    Sets a RequestInterceptor that can intercept requests and manipulate them before they're sent to the Box API.
    
    Parameters:
    
    interceptor - the RequestInterceptor.
  - getLowerScopedToken
```
public ScopedToken getLowerScopedToken(List<String> scopes,
                                       String resource)
```
    Get a lower-scoped token restricted to a resource for the list of scopes that are passed.
    
    Parameters:
    
    scopes - the list of scopes to which the new token should be restricted for
    
    resource - the resource for which the new token has to be obtained
    
    Returns:
    
    scopedToken which has access token and other details
    
    Throws:
    
    BoxAPIException - if resource is not a valid Box API endpoint or shared link
  - determineResourceLinkType
```
protected BoxAPIConnection.ResourceLinkType determineResourceLinkType(String resourceLink)
```
    Determines the type of resource, given a link to a Box resource.
    
    Parameters:
    
    resourceLink - the resource URL to check
    
    Returns:
    
    ResourceLinkType that categorizes the provided resourceLink
  - revokeToken
```
public void revokeToken()
```
    Revokes the tokens associated with this API connection. This results in the connection no longer being able to make API calls until a fresh authorization is made by calling authenticate()
  - save
```
public String save()
```
    Saves the state of this connection to a string so that it can be persisted and restored at a later time.
    Note that proxy settings aren't automatically saved or restored. This is mainly due to security concerns around persisting proxy authentication details to the state string. If your connection uses a proxy, you will have to manually configure it again after restoring the connection.
    
    Returns:
    
    the state of this connection.

    restore(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)

    Parameters:
    
    header - the header name.
  - suppressNotifications
```
public void suppressNotifications()
```
    Suppresses email notifications from API actions. This is typically used by security or admin applications to prevent spamming end users when doing automated processing on their content.
  - enableNotifications
```
public void enableNotifications()
```
    Re-enable email notifications from API actions if they have been suppressed.

    suppressNotifications()
  - asUser
```
public void asUser(String userID)
```
    Set this API connection to make API calls on behalf of another users, impersonating them. This functionality can only be used by admins and service accounts.
    
    Parameters:
    
    userID - the ID of the user to act as.
  - asSelf
```
public void asSelf()
```
    Sets this API connection to make API calls on behalf of the user with whom the access token is associated. This undoes any previous calls to asUser().
    
    See Also:
    
    asUser(java.lang.String)
  - configureSslCertificatesValidation
```
public void configureSslCertificatesValidation(X509TrustManager trustManager,

```
    Used to override default SSL certification handling. For example, you can provide your own trust manager or hostname verifier to allow self-signed certificates. You can check examples here.
    
    Parameters:
    
    trustManager - TrustManager that verifies certificates are valid.
    
    hostnameVerifier - HostnameVerifier that allows you to specify what hostnames are allowed.
