It depends on requests and requests-toolbelt for HTTP communication and is designed to work with Python 3.8 and above.\n\nThe SDK includes built-in support for multiple authentication methods (Developer Token, JWT, OAuth), automatic retries with exponential backoff, exception handling, and type hints. It aims to keep pace with Box API updates through an auto-generation approach, though the repository is currently archived and no longer actively maintained.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a Box API client and can accept that the package is no longer actively maintained. The SDK is stable, has low install friction, and covers the full Box API surface. However, be aware that the archived repository will not receive updates for new Box API features or security patches\u2014monitor for actively maintained alternatives before committing to production use."},"id":"box-sdk-gen","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/box-sdk-gen","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/box-sdk-gen.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/box-sdk-gen/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-09-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"box-sdk-gen","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Official Box Python Generated SDK"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1181610,"position":4256,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.17.0"}
