Export files to Box.com

🤖/box/export exports files to Box.com.

Usage example

{
  "steps": {
    "exported": {
      "robot": "/box/store",
      "use": ":original",
      "credentials": "YOUR_BOX_CREDENTIALS",
      "path": "my_target_folder/${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}"
    }
  }
}

Parameters

• output_meta

  Record<string, boolean> | boolean | Array<string>

  Allows you to specify a set of metadata that is more expensive on CPU power to calculate, and thus is disabled by default to keep your Assemblies processing fast.

  For images, you can add "has_transparency": true in this object to extract if the image contains transparent parts and "dominant_colors": true to extract an array of hexadecimal color codes from the image.

  For images, you can also add "blurhash": true to extract a BlurHash string — a compact representation of a placeholder for the image, useful for showing a blurred preview while the full image loads.

  For videos, you can add the "colorspace: true" parameter to extract the colorspace of the output video.

  For audio, you can add "mean_volume": true to get a single value representing the mean average volume of the audio file.

  You can also set this to false to skip metadata extraction and speed up transcoding.

• result

  boolean (default: false)

  Whether the results of this Step should be present in the Assembly Status JSON

• queue

  batch

  Setting the queue to 'batch', manually downgrades the priority of jobs for this step to avoid consuming Priority job slots for jobs that don't need zero queue waiting times

• force_accept

  boolean (default: false)

  Force a Robot to accept a file type it would have ignored.

  By default, Robots ignore files they are not familiar with. 🤖/video/encode, for example, will happily ignore input images.

  With the force_accept parameter set to true, you can force Robots to accept all files thrown at them. This will typically lead to errors and should only be used for debugging or combatting edge cases.

• ignore_errors

  boolean | Array<meta | execute> (default: [])

  Ignore errors during specific phases of processing.

  Setting this to ["meta"] will cause the Robot to ignore errors during metadata extraction.

  Setting this to ["execute"] will cause the Robot to ignore errors during the main execution phase.

  Setting this to true is equivalent to ["meta", "execute"] and will ignore errors in both phases.

• use

  string | Array<string> | Array<object> | object

  Specifies which Step(s) to use as input.

  • You can pick any names for Steps except ":original" (reserved for user uploads handled by Transloadit)
  • You can provide several Steps as input with arrays:
    

    {
      "use": [
        ":original",
        "encoded",
        "resized"
      ]
    }
    

  Tip

  That's likely all you need to know about use, but you can view Advanced use cases.

• credentials

  string

  Create a Box app in the Box Developer Console using Server Authentication (JWT).

  Generate a public/private keypair for that app. Box will download a JSON config file (with boxAppSettings and appAuth) that includes your JWT private key material.

  In your Transloadit account, create Template Credentials of type Box and paste that full JSON file into key_file_contents. Then set this credentials parameter to the Template Credentials name.

  If your Box enterprise requires it, make sure the app is authorized by an admin before using it in production.

• path

  string (default: "${unique_prefix}/${file.url_name}")

  The path at which the file is to be stored. This may include any available Assembly variables.

• create_sharing_link

  boolean (default: false)

  Whether to create a URL to this file for sharing with other people. This will overwrite the file's "url" property.
