Hi @PJStation If you want to get URL and e.g. embed it on your page you can use getEmbedLink function. Alternatively, you could look into shared links if they fit your use case.

Could you provide more details about what you are trying to achieve? Perhaps you could also provide an sample code (example project) so we can see what's the issue.

//get a mp4 file
client.files.getEmbedLink(forFile: file.id) { result in
    switch result {
    case let .success(expiringEmbedLink):
        var options = [String : Any]()
        options["AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey"] = ["Authorization": "Bearer \(expiringEmbedLink.token!.accessToken!)"]
        let asset = AVURLAsset(url: expiringEmbedLink.url!,options: options)

        if asset.isPlayable {
            print("isPlayable")
        } else {
            print("not playable")
        }

        break
    case let .failure(error):
        break
    }

}

isPlayable always false

Hi @PJStation

Can you try with this url scheme: https://api.box.com/2.0/files/:file_id:/content and attach with your access token in the header.

Let me know if it's working.

Best, Minh
