I want to be able to serve up box.com documents to users on my password protected web site. I want to to develop a little php program that will accept a box.com share link, and using the box.com api and a OAUTH 2.0 token, retrieve the file from box.com, and then send it to my users.
Is this the best way to do this? There really isn't the need for an OAuth flow, as I am accessing my own files on box.com, I just want to make sure that my users are logged in.
I also don't want to simply share my box.com files to the whole internet.
My question: Is there a way to access a document on box.com via the api using the box share link. What I mean is that the share link looks like: https:/...domain.box.com/xxxxxxxxxx
Can I someone use the xxxxxxxxx as an ID to get/files/fileid/content api call?
Is there a way to search for a document by its share link?
I want to use the share link, because non-technical people will be generating contact, and I'm concerned that they will have trouble getting the FILEID of the box.com files.
