Hi all,


Fairly recently we’ve launched a beta version of our Python SDK.


Our engineering team is generating the SDK directly from the REST API specifications.


This should allow:



  • Full API Support: New Box SDKs empower developers with complete coverage of the Box API ecosystem. You can access all the latest features and functionalities offered by Box and build feature-rich applications.

  • Rapid API Updates: The new auto-generation development approach allows for adding Box APIs to SDKs at a much faster pace (in a matter of days). This means you can leverage the most up-to-date features in your applications without delay.

  • Embedded Documentation: All objects and parameters are documented directly in the source code of the SDK so all the necessary information is stored in one place.

  • Enhanced Convenience Methods: The newly introduced convenience methods cover various aspects such as authentication, chunk uploads, exponential back-offs, automatic retries, type checkers which help to ensure that you’re using variables correctly, and much more.


Go ahead a take a look.

As always feedback is welcome.

Yes in fact I have developed an entire flask application using this.  I have a question.  I’m using the 
ZipDownloadsManager.create_zip_download.  It creates a download link and a status link.  The download link works perfectly, but the status link returns a 401.
