Any way to get details on a collaborator's identity from the Box API?

Question
The closest thing I can get are events that show a "COLLAB_ADD_COLLABORATOR" type of event - however, this does not include the collaborator's identity.
Note that I want this information potentially before this user does anything to a file or folder: I simply want to get a list of all collaborators whether or not they have performed any actions.
Solution
You can use V1 of the API to fetch the collabs of each folder individually. This might not full-fill your requirement of knowing before the collab does anything on it. But this is your best bet right now. V2 doesnot have it yet

OTHER TIPS
That information would be contained in a v2 'collaborations' object. The /collaborations endpoint currently isn't implemented for the v2 API. However, it will be implemented before v2 is GA.
