I'm trying to familiarize myself with the new V2 API and so far it looks promising - theoretically: I'd like to issue a curl call to play around with the new API as I cannot see the API explorer on the Admin screens.
So: How do I find out which API version my Lithium instance supports?
And: Do you have a curl example to issue a query to the new API?
Bye, Nils
Anyone who knows how to operate the v2 API just via CURL? And how to find out if I can do this with my community? Do I need to upgrade it somehow or enable the V2 API?
nils-drews for the API v2, I think it's best to wait for your platform to be on 14.10
I have used curl for the Rest API v1. I will see if I can use the same for API v2 and update this topic if noone does ...
That's awesome info ... now can you point me where I see the exact version? Some API call, somewhere on the Admin Screens? Somehow I'm blind.
I wasn't sure if it was public or not ... You can add /status/version at the end of your community to get the version. Check this for full details.
Now, I believe a curl call should look like this one (couldn't try it unfortunately):
curl "https://eu.api.lithium.com/community/2.0/search?q=select * from messages&client_id=<your_client_id>&api.pretty_print=true"
You will need to get your client_id from the Lithium support. (And I think you need to create an 'application'. Works the same way as Google API)
This call, for the Lithium Bulk API (paid feature) worked fine:
curl "https://eu.api.lithium.com/lsi-data/v1/data/export/community/<community_id>?fromDate=201409010000&toDate=201409020000" -H "client-id:<my_client_id>" -u "<my_token_id>:"
Note: use api.lithium.com if your community is US based
Note2: I will provide more information as I learn more about the API v2 !
OlivierS : can you tell me the minimum version of Lithium to be able to use the v2 API? Is 14.8 too old? I'm also still wondering about the other URL ...
The Community API v2 is introduced in version 14.10
