The code I am using like these:

from boxsdk import DevelopmentClient
client = DevelopmentClient()
items = client.collection(collection_id='1104730352').get_items()
for item in items:
    print(f'{item.type.capitalize()} "{item.name}" is in the collection')

and

from boxsdk import DevelopmentClient
client = DevelopmentClient()
client.user('me').get()
from boxsdk.exception import BoxAPIException
try:
    client.file('0').get()
except BoxAPIException as e:
    pass

and

from boxsdk import Client, OAuth2
# Create an SDK client using a developer token
client = Client(OAuth2(None, None, access_token='6jxGtALyPTjcodkx738GTl7Q0cdLQKrP'))
SHARED_LINK_URL = 'https://app.box.com/s/3ckbonl3vsxl5q24u8adl23b9g01hr08'
shared_item = client.get_shared_item(SHARED_LINK_URL)
# print(shared_item.name)
# cl=client.file(shared_item.id).get()
# print(cl)
print(client.with_shared_link(SHARED_LINK_URL, None).file(shared_item.id).get())

I want to list: ID, Name, Link to file/folder

can any one help me to solve? thank you very much

Hello @anh-ai, In your first example you are getting 401 (Unauthorised) response which suggests you haven't provided any authorisation token. The first two examples should be run in REPL as they are interactive and will prompt for your input. If you want to create a script to run I suggest following the authentication guide: https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk/blob/main/docs/usage/authentication.md#developer-token This snippet will help you start:

from boxsdk import Client, OAuth2

auth = OAuth2(
    client_id='YOUR_CLIENT_ID',
    client_secret='YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET',
    access_token='DEVELOPER_TOKEN_GOES_HERE',
)
client = Client(auth)
me = client.user().get()
print(f'My user ID is {me.id}')

You will find client ID and secret with developer token in your application settings: https://app.box.com/developers/console. Once you have this working please checkout:

• https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk/blob/main/docs/usage/folders.md
• https://github.com/box/box-python-sdk/blob/main/docs/usage/files.md.

Those will provide you with guidance what to do next.
