Add Friend using Rest api ???
Hi, Does anyone have an idea over how to add a friend using rest api? Suppose I am on a user profile page and I have added a custom button to add the user as friend. So what rest call should...
Hi Sunny,
If you have the JavaDocs handy, check out the "friends/add" method in the Contacts class. Here's a sample call:
/restapi/vc/users/id/5/addressbook/contacts/friends/add
The method is expecting a "contacts.user" parameter:
contacts.user (required) : User - the user to add to the friends list. The user can be specified as a relative REST API path, such as id/43 to specify the user by id or login/username to specify the user by username, or by an absolute path beginning with a forward slash, like /users/id/43.
/restapi/vc/users/id/5/addressbook/contacts/friends/add?contacts.user=id/43
should work, where "43" is the id of the user being added.
I think this may be more helpful as we need to do a post call.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
url: "/restapi/vc/users/id/${user_id}/addressbook/contacts/ignores/add?contacts.user=id/${friend_user_id}",
success: function(data){ }
});
