After receiving feedback from members of our development community, we have decided to  provide a small platform enhancement for this week, introducing a new API method: get_account_info.

This new method provides basic information about an authenticated user such as the amount of space a user has left in one’s account.  The output provided by ‘get_account_info’ is in fact the same information that your programs obtain when authenticating users through the API, but now you can obtain the most up-to-date account information without having to repeat the API authentication process.  This should help to optimize the code for many of your applications.

Plenty of other enhancements are in progress, so please continue to inform us of your experiences with the Box API so that we can provide the best tools for you.
