Box API返回错误：：远程服务器返回错误：（401）未经授权

Question

i got the auth token using my api key den while trying to access user content i get this error

The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Here is my c# code

string url = "https://www.box.com/api/2.0/folders/0 \\ -H "Authorization: BoxAuth api_key=API_KEY&auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN";

            HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Answer 1

The -H "Authorization: BoxAuth api_key=API_KEY&auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN" is an argument of the example cURL command, not part of the API URL. It indicates an HTTP Header. You'll need to add that header to your request object.

Try this:

string url = "https://www.box.com/api/2.0/folders/0";
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "BoxAuth api_key=API_KEY&auth_token=AUTH_TOKEN");

Alternatively, you could try the Box C# SDK , which will take care of all that for you.
