Overview #

Box Source Plugin

The Box Source plugin extracts information from Box application API and loads it into any supported CloudQuery destination.

Configuration #

The following configuration syncs from Box to a Postgres destination. The (top level) source spec section is described in the Source Spec Reference. The config for the postgresql destination is not shown here. See our Quickstart if you need help setting up the destination.

kind: source
spec:
  name: "box"
  registry: "cloudquery"
  path: "cloudquery/box"
  version: "v0.0.1"
  destinations: ["postgresql"]
  tables: ["*"]
  spec:
    client_id: ${Client ID}
    client_secret: ${Client Secret}
    user_id: ${User ID}
    ## Optional parameters
    ## provide folder_id to retrieve folder details
    # folder_id: 123456789

Authentication #

For accessing API's in box, we need to create a New App with Server Authentication (Client Credentials Grant).

Obtain client ID, client Secret and user ID from the App created.
