BOX connection from Talend Studio and Cloud

I am looking for documentation how to successfully connect from BOX to retrieve files.

We normally connect to BOX using SSO. I created an APP in BOX which gives me

1. Client ID

2. Client Secret

3. Primary token

4. Secondary token

using these and my user credentials I have to use postman to generate access token and refresh token to use inside tboxconnection.

These tokens are dynamic and change frequently.

Once we publish the job to cloud, there we have entirely different option. It just needs my userid password to connect to box and no longer need any secrets, tokens.

Have any one actively using this feature. Is it worth trying or should we stick to legacy FTPs?

Thankyou

In Talend, you can use tRest to call API to get the access token or refresh token. I have achieve similar requirement.
Normally, the access token will expires in 24 hours, so you should schedule the job to run at least one time within 24 hours to get the refresh token.
