Create a board through API

Hello,

 

I would like to create a board through API but I get an error message:

 

curl -X POST \
> 'https://domain.lithium.com/restapi/vc/categories/id/<category_id>/nodes/type/key/board/add?board.id=test&board.title=title' \
> -H 'content-type: application/json' \
> -H 'li-api-session-key:SESSION_KEY'


<response status="error">
<error code="100">
<message>
Une erreur inattendue s&apos;est produite.
</message>
</error>
</response>

 

When I do a get on /restapi/vc/categories/id/<category_id>/nodes/type/key/board/ it renders the list of boards but POST does not work. 

 

Could someone help me please? 

 

Thank you!

    jpierlot,

    You can use V2 API to create board and add description as well.

    Session Key
    
curl -X POST \
https://[COMMUNITY DOMAIN]/api/2.0/boards \
   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
   -H 'li-api-session-key: [SESSION KEY]' \
   -d '{
           "data": {
               "type": "board",
               "id": "DeveloperDiscussion",
               "conversation_style": "forum",
               "title": "Developer Discussions",
               "parent_category": {
                   "id": "DevNetwork"
               }
           }
       }'

    jpierlot,

    Use below API to create board.

    /categories/id/<category_id>/boards/add?board.id=<board_id>&board.title=<board_title>

    Thanks it works great. If I want to add the description, I added &board.description=lorem%20ipsum but nothing is saved.

    /restapi/vc/categories/id/<id>/boards/add?board.id=id&board.title=title&board.description=lorem

     

    Do you have any idea on that part?
