Is there existing solution to integrate box.com with apigee?

[#1 · Accepted solution]

Hi Arun,

Its an interesting question, thanks for posting it on the community!

I was going through the box.com site and see they have some cool RESTFUL APIs setup for integrating with the platform.

You can do a simple callout from the Apigee Platform to call the box.com APIs. Again I havent tried it but dont see it be any different from other REST based platforms/backends.

Have fun building some cool Apps!

Hi Srividya,

The issue is box.com uses oauth2.0 and use grant type as authorization_code. Is there a way to implement this ?

Yes. You can still use Box to generate tokens/auth code and use Apigee in the front taking some of the advantages of the Edge platform. Here is the link to Apigee documentation for the instructions - http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/content/use-third-party-oauth-system
