Box ACTION

List File Versions

Lists prior versions of a file (does not include the current version). Box only tracks file versions for users with premium accounts, so this returns an empty list on free accounts. Use Get File Metadata for current file details, or Upload File Version to create a new version. See the documentation.

IMPLEMENTATION

Call this tool

Connect a user's Box account once, then configure and run List File Versions from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "box-list-file-versions",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    box: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    folderId: "Parent Folder",
    fileId: "File",
  },
})

console.log(result)
