Feature Request: Get List of Shared-Links

First - Thank you for this fantastic tool. Being a Box Administrator would be extremely difficult without the CLI.

I’m using @box/cli/2.0.0 win32-x64 node-v10.10.0 . It has the feature to

box shared-links:get <url>

that allows me to get the details of an existing shared-link.

REQUEST: Can you add a feature to list all existing shared-links in my enterprise? This is a needed feature for security audits. As an administrator, I need to be sure that sensitive info isn’t accidentally shared by my users and the first step is to see what has been shared.

@mattwiller Using the Admin Console does allow me to produce the data - yes - but it requires a human being to log in and make the request. For my particular use case, I have bot which periodically performs administrative maintenance tasks like moving files and folders around. This bot uses the CLI binaries and the box-node-sdk.

One of the tasks I’d like to perform is an audit of the shared links. Because I don’t trust that my users understand the security implications of sharing folders and files to “People with the Link”. See this and this for detail about what I mean. Having the ability to programatically audit all of the enterprises’ shared links will permit me to do things like

• Determine which folders / files are public facing
• Determine if sensitive information is unintentionally exposed
• Notify the person or people responsible for those links so that they can modify the link to have an expiration date or password, or even just delete the link.

Of course, all of this can still done by first exporting a .csv file from the admin console, but it’s an extra step that a human has to remember to perform.

I recognize that for my use case, this feature request might be more appropriate for one of the Box SDKs - since the SDK doesn’t have this feature either. But I thought that if I asked for the feature here, you might eventually implement it there.

EDIT: Come to think of it, the ‘Shared Links’ API is pretty sparse in any case. Considering the potential for critical data breaches (see the links above), I feel like the API should have much better C.R.U.D. functionality for these shared-links.
