Get Started

Quickstart

It's easy to get started. First you can get the SDK by simply typing: 

pip install boxsdk

There's so much you can do with just several lines of code. Create your Box Developer Account, paste the client id, client secret, and your developer token into the example below. Give it a try!


oauth = OAuth2(
  client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
  client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
  access_token='YOUR_DEVELOPER_TOKEN',
)
client = Client(oauth)
root_folder = client.folder(folder_id='0')
shared_folder = root_folder.create_subfolder('shared_folder')
uploaded_file = shared_folder.upload('/path/to/file')
shared_link = shared_folder.get_shared_link()
