Box.net

Backend class

For Django, add this class path to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS. For other integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend setting.

Backend name	Class path
box	social_core.backends.box.BoxOAuth2

Box works similar to Facebook (OAuth2).

• Register an application at Manage Box Applications

• Fill the Consumer Key and Consumer Secret values in your settings:

  SOCIAL_AUTH_BOX_KEY = ''
  SOCIAL_AUTH_BOX_SECRET = ''
  

• By default the token is not permanent, it will last an hour. To refresh the access token just do:

  from social_django.utils import load_strategy
  
  strategy = load_strategy(backend='box')
  user = User.objects.get(pk=foo)
  social = user.social_auth.filter(provider='box')[0]
  social.refresh_token(strategy=strategy)
