Box API
The Box API is a RESTful web service interface provided by Box, Inc. that allows developers to programmatically interact with the Box cloud content management platform. It enables integration of Box's file storage, collaboration, and workflow features into custom applications, websites, or other systems, supporting operations like uploading files, managing folders, and controlling user permissions.
Developers should learn the Box API when building applications that require secure cloud storage, document collaboration, or enterprise content management features, such as in business workflow automation, document processing systems, or mobile apps with file synchronization. It is particularly useful for integrating Box's compliance and security capabilities into custom solutions for regulated industries like finance or healthcare.
