Box: Resolve a File Version by Name and Verify the Download

See more Box Examples

Run the reusable setup once per HttpCurl object, then select names and execute the operation. The setup is repeated here only to make this published example independently runnable. One target request requires file_id and file_version_id. The engine uses AddOutput2 for name lookups and AddOutput for version/SHA-1 metadata, then downloads that version to local_path and verifies its digest.

See the Box API guide for setup and the complete workflow.
