Box.com update/delete folder using curl - api

I am trying to update the folder name in box.com using curl tool in windows command prompt. However, I am not able to do that and getting the "insufficient permissions" error. Following is the exact curl command I am using with the request parameters for updating the folder:
curl -i https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0 -H "Authorization: Bearer rn4lh6kST6bhmaLEuZdjMtxXpTfORg1B" -d "{\"name\":\"New Folder Name!\"}'-X PUT
And I am getting the following error:
{"type":"error","status":403,"code":"access_denied_insufficient_permissions","help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Access denied - insufficient permission","request_id":"11155318795551a7373138a"}
I get the same error for "DELETE" the folder command in curl.
Can anyone please help me with this?

I believe your issue is with the quote escaping. Also, you have -d "....' (note the mismatched " and '
Try the following commands that are from Box API: (Don't forget to add your folder ID & Access Token)
Update Folders
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -d '{"name":"New Folder Name!"}' -X PUT
Delete Folders
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID?recursive=true
-H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN" -X DELETE

curl command to tarball ALL organizations repos thru API

Was making a bash script to backup organization's repos (private included) convert them into a tar file and then send off to s3 bucket.
curl -H "Authorization: token {PAT}" -L https://api.github.com/repos/{org}/tarball/main > main.tar.gz
When I do this command with one single repo it works, but my task was to have it grab all 100+ repos in the organization. Any thoughts of what I am missing?
I don't think that there is any API from GitHub to provide your desired HTTP call out of the box.
You can try to create a Bash/PowerShell script to:
List the organization:
curl \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>" \
https://api.github.com/orgs/ORG/repos
(reference: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos#list-organization-repositories)
Take the result and convert it to an array.
For each element in the array, run your command:
curl -H "Authorization: token {PAT}" -L
https://api.github.com/repos/{org}/tarball/main > main.tar.gz

Spotify curL invalid client issue

I'm following the source here, but I can't send a query with curL. I am getting an invalid client error.
curl -H "Authorization: Basic <base64 ZGQyXGNlZQY1OTUxNDc3NGJhMm.......ZTU0YDY=>" -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=code -d redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost:3000 https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token
According to the source, I need to get my refresh token but somehow I couldn't.
Unfortunately I couldn't do it and I would be very grateful if you could help.
CurL query below worked
Get the refresh token
curl -d client_id=$CLIENT_ID -d client_secret=$CLIENT_SECRET -d grant_type=authorization_code -d code=$CODE -d redirect_uri=$REDIRECT_URI https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token
Thanks,

Can I get a working curl command to remove a system from RHEL subscription?

I want to automate the addition and removal of VMs from the RHEL Subscription. I want to use a curl command if possible and keep it simple.
I tried executing curl commands on the api.access.redhat.com/management/v1/subscriptions endpoints but it is giving errors like "Authentication parameters missing".
Below is an example command I am using:
curl -X GET -s -k -u username:Password "https://api.access.redhat.com/management/v1/subscriptions" -H "accept: application/json"
Expected to see the list of Subscribed systems but getting the "Authentication parameters missing" message.
In order to get all the subscriptions you have, run the following command:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" "https://api.access.redhat.com/management/v1/subscriptions"
You can retrieve the access_token variable by running the following command:
curl https://sso.redhat.com/auth/realms/redhat-external/protocol/openid-connect/token -d grant_type=refresh_token -d client_id=rhsm-api -d refresh_token=$offline_token
The offline_token, instead, has to be generated from the API Tokens Page.

Bamboo Trigger Deployment plan with variables

Im trying to deploy a plan that has artefacts from external service for this I want to download via curl those files that I will pass as variables... however I am not able to set programmaticly the variables with the deploymet call
curl -k -u user:passord -X POST -d "bamboo.myVariable=someurl" BASE_BAMBOO_URL/bamboo/rest/api/latest/queue/PROJECT-ID
Trying to do the same with the deployment API fails
curl BASE_BAMBOO_URL/bamboo/rest/api/latest/deploy/project/1321123123 -u user:passord-X POST -d "bamboo.myVariable=callMEwithDATA"
Trying to add that into the API fails as does trying to pass it thru JSON
curl -X POST BASE_BAMBOO/bamboo/rest/api/latest/deploy/project/1320058 -u user:passord -H "Accepts: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name":"release-1", "myVariable":"ARTEFACT_URL"}'
To continue with a request the variables have to be passed as query params... a sad sad reality is that the Bamboo API is very messed up
bamboourl&executeAllStages=true&bamboo.variable.MYVAR=1234

curl -h or curl --header not working

i'm trying to connect ti a web api service, box-api, and following the tutorial i have to type this command to fetch a folder in the user content:
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/items?limit=2&offset=0 -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
I tryied to connect from the command line to test the command but it keep complaining about the -H or the --header command saying that it doesn exist:
-bash: -H: command not found
-bash: --header: command not found
but when i type curl --help the command is in the manual:
-H, --header LINE Custom header to pass to server (H)
I'm confused, what should i do to connect to this site and get the JSON content? Thanks
Your url has & sign. and this is making end of command on there(and running at background). You can remove this error by using quotes around. Like this
curl "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/FOLDER_ID/items?limit=2&offset=0" -H "Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN"
Hope this helps.
There seem to be two problems:
The '&' in the middle of the URL passed to curl,
The order of the statements. The curl manual reports a different order for the statements. Example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer AUTH_KEY" "https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0/items?limit=2&offset=0"
This should be the complete solution.
