Hi All,

I keep getting a 404 error when testing out the Box make an api call module. I’m trying to copy a folder currently in box, into another folder in BOX.  Here’s what I have:

URL: folders/(folder id)/copy

Method: Post

Headers:

Content-Type

application/json

Query String:

{
   "name": "Project Test Copy",
   "id": "(new parent folder id)"
}

 

Can anyone see where I’m making errors here?

According to Box.com documentation, to copy a folder in Box you will need to provide the API with the id of the parent folder that you would like to copy the folder into. Try to send this in a body of the request:

 

curl -i -X POST "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/4353455/copy" \
     -H "authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>" \
     -H "content-type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "parent": {
         "id": "345345"
       }
     }'

Try this and let me know if it works? 😀
