Endpoint Anatomy

There are only four different types of endpoint in the BOX API. This keeps them very easy to understand and makes your code easier to read.

HTTP Verb	Name	Description
POST	create-resource	Create one new instance of an entity
GET	resource	Retrieve the identified instance of an entity
GET	list-resources	List all instances of an entity
PUT	set-attribute	Change the given attribute of an entity

You only need to remember the three verbs shown in the table above, we don't use any others, again, keeping it simple to help you.

Examples

Shell

POST	create-customer	# This creates a new customer
GET		customer/1			# Retrieve customer number one
GET		list-customers	# List all of your customers
