As wrote here http://blog.programmableweb.com/2013/01/11/opening-up-the-box-api/ box.com limits number of requests to its API on per developer (or client in terms of OAuth RFC) basis. "The current rate limit is 50,000 requests per developer in a 24 hour rolling window." Can some1 guide me is there a way to enhance this limt? Cant find anything about it on the site.

The rate limit is actually much more granular (different calls are limited differently), and quite a bit higher than what you quote for many types of API calls. Box uses a leaky-bucket implementation to protect it's servers, but each user is allowed to go pretty hard against the API for short bursts. If you are a paying customer, Box will tell you what your rate limit is, but we do not make the numbers public.

If you are looking to get a temporarily higher rate limit, you can submit a support request.
