Bookmarks
Query, insert, update and delete the available bookmarks in Box.
Table Specific Information
Select
If you search for bookmarks without specifying any condition in the WHERE Clause, by default only the bookmarks that are at most 5 levels deep from the root folder will be returned. You can change the default depth value in the connection string; e.g. DirectoryRetrievalDepth=10.
SELECT * FROM Bookmarks
Retrieve a bookmark by specifying the Id:
SELECT * FROM Bookmarks WHERE Id = '8397822180'
To search all the bookmarks in your enterprise, query the bookmarks table with the column SearchTerms.
SELECT * FROM Bookmarks WHERE SearchTerms LIKE '%CData%' AND OwnerUserIds = '311997108,1'
To search all the bookmarks within a specific folder, query the bookmarks table with the ParentId column.
SELECT * FROM Bookmarks WHERE ParentId = 62297447480
If you're authenticated as an administrator with user impersonation permissions, you can query bookmarks from multiple user accounts:
SELECT * FROM Bookmarks WHERE AsUserId IN (SELECT Id FROM Users)
Note: User impersonation has the following limitations:
- The authenticated user cannot be impersonated unless that user is a service account.
- If the authenticated user is a standard user account, they can only query bookmarks associated with their account.
- Bookmarks shared with multiple users are only returned for one of the users.
Insert
To insert a bookmark you must specify at least the URL and ParentId column.
INSERT INTO Bookmarks (Url, Name, Description, ParentId) VALUES ('https://www.cdata.com/', 'CData', 'Visit CData!', 0)
Update
Any column where ReadOnly=False can be updated.
UPDATE Bookmarks SET Name = 'CData Updated Bookmark', ParentId = 62297447480 WHERE Id = 8397822180
Delete
Bookmarks can be deleted by providing an Id and issuing a DELETE statement. This bookmark is then moved to TrashedItems.
DELETE FROM Bookmarks WHERE Id = 8397822180
