Get access to user data from box cloud (box.com) in ios

I'm trying to get data from box user account. For now i have generated the token but i can't get the root folder content (for example).

to get the token, i get the ticket with this request:

https://www.box.com/api/1.0/rest?action=get_ticket&api_key=BoxApiKey

After that i call a webView in my application to load this page :

https://m.box.com/api/1.0/auth/ticket

after the user log successfully i parse the web page and extract the token.

now come problems, i can't get the root folder content. this is what i try with AFNetworking:

  1. i add this methode in the AFHTTPClient class (as suggested her)

    -(void)setAuthorizationHeaderWithTokenBearer:(NSString *)token
{
   [self setDefaultHeader:@"Authorization" value:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Bearer %@", token]];
}

  2. my call:

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.box.com/api/2.0/folders/0"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
[httpClient setAuthorizationHeaderWithTokenBearer:token];


[httpClient postPath:@"" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSString *responseStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"Request Successful, response '%@'", responseStr);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *e) {
    NSLog(@"[HTTPClient Error]: %@", e.localizedDescription);
}];

But i have this localizedDescription : 

[HTTPClient Error]: Expected status code in (200-299), got 401

can you help me to resolve this? thank you.

You're seeing an issue because the header style you're using is OAuth 2, and the token you have is V1 Auth.

If you're using this header

Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}

You need to get the token through the [OAuth 2 process][1]

However, if you're using this header

Authorization BoxAuth api_key={api key}&auth_token={v1 auth token}

You need to get the token through the V1 auth process, which is the one you've outlined.

As a sidenote, you should try to use the OAuth 2 process, as the V1 process is going to be deprecated later this year.
