BoxCollectionMarkerBased<BoxRetentionPolicy> policies = await client.RetentionPoliciesManager
    .GetRetentionPoliciesAsync();
Java
Iterable<BoxRetentionPolicy.Info> policies = BoxRetentionPolicy.getAll(api);
for (BoxRetentionPolicy.Info policyInfo : policies) {
	// Do something with the retention policy.
}
Python
retention_policies = client.get_retention_policies()
for policy in retention_policies:
    print('The policy ID is {0} and the name is {1}'.format(policy.id, policy.policy_name))
Node
client.retentionPolicies.getAll({ policy_name: 'Tax' })
	.then(policies => {
		/* policies -> {
