BOX API - Is it possible to authorize user on background?

Question

I want to use Box on my web application using Box Embed.

But to get to specific folder, I have to use BOX API to get folder information and build my box embed programatically.

With Box API, I need to authenticate user before I can make API calls, I am done with this part, but is there a way to get token without showing the user the login form?

Answer 1

No, you must be granted an access token through the standard OAuth2 workflow prior to accessing a user's Box via the API.
