To use the Postman Collection, the Postman application needs to authenticate to the Box API using an Access Token. The simplest way to get an Access Token is by logging into Box using a Box App. A Box App is an application that can be used for making API calls. When using the Postman Collection you can choose to either set up your own Box App or use our preconfigured one. The key benefit of setting up your own Box App is that you won’t need to go through login every hour, but it does require a few extra steps to set up.
