Hello everyone!,
I’m working on a website and I’m implementing box embed on iframes to show a preview of my files and I’be stuck because only on Chrome the preview of the iframe isn’t working, The iframe shows the message “We’re sorry, the preview hasn’t load. Please refresh the page.”

I’m using Box API to connect and validate my session and bring the shared urls of my files.
In firefox and other explorers this works without problems. ¿Any help?

Thanks!!

Hi!, yes of course, I’m using Django 4.2 and this is my function:

try:
        print('Ehhh no salí por exception puti')
        JWT_CONFIG_PATH = 'config.json'
        print(JWTAuth)
        auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file(JWT_CONFIG_PATH) # Im the error :)
        access_token = auth.authenticate_instance() 

        client = Client(auth)
        user = client.user().get()
        folder = client.folder(folder_id='0').get()
        items = client.folder(folder_id=str(folder.id)).get_items()

with this piece of code I look the items inside my root folder, and with each id get the shared_link with this code:

iframes = []
    for item in items:
            if item.type == 'file':
                try:
                    shared_link = client.file(item.id).get_shared_link()
                    iframes.append(str(shared_link))
                except Exception as error: 
                    print(error)

This bug appears randomly and it isn’t depend of the item, sometimes it happens with 1 item, another times with half of items and in other cases none loads correctly the preview.
Im using boxsdk library and Python 3.12.

Thanks! If you need to go deeper in my code let my know!
