Box Developer Console allows you to create applications you can then use to integrate with Box. My Platform Apps view displays a list of already created applications and gives you quick access to their configuration details. This way, you don't need to open the app each time you want to generate a Developer Token, copy the Client ID, or generate a report.

Features

My Platform Apps page allows you to:

  • Search through the list of already created apps.
  • Filter the apps by Enablement Status and Authentication Type.
  • Create a new app.
  • Copy the app's Client ID.
  • Rename the app and access its details with one click.
  • Check application enablement and authorization status. Apps published to Integrations display status from Integrations.

The Options menu available for every entry allows you to:
