Getting message subscription info for post via REST

We have a custom UI for creating forum posts and we're using the an endpoint to create/edit these posts. We're just using the standard messages/id/edit and /boards/id/my-board-id/messages/post calls ...

    The types for a subscription are: bookmark, float, email. So that could be why your call is failing.

     

    If you're subscribing the user to the thread instead of an individual message, try getting a ThreadSubscriptionContext instead:

    /restapi/vc/threads/id/83400/subscriptions

     For example:

    /restapi/vc/threads/id/83400/subscriptions/users/self/type/email

I get the following response when I try /messages/id/${message_id}/subscriptions/users/self/type/thread:

 

 

    <response status="error"><error code="502"><message>
      Invalid path element.
    </message></error></response>

 

I also tried /messages/id/${message_id}/subscriptions/global/type/thread which generates the same response:

 


    <response status="error"><error code="502"><message>
      Invalid path element.
    </message></error></response>

    If you're subscribing the user to the thread instead of an individual message, try getting a ThreadSubscriptionContext instead:

    /restapi/vc/threads/id/83400/subscriptions

     For example:

    /restapi/vc/threads/id/83400/subscriptions/users/self/type/email

        Hi Adam,

         

        I am using the same call which you have mentioned.

         

        But I'm getting following response:

         

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
        <response status="success">
        <subscription type="subscription" null="true"/>
        </response>

         

        User does not get subscribed to thread.

        Can you please help.

         

        Thank you.

         

        Regards,

        Dhiraj

    Could you confirm that the REST API call is working? Once you run the call, can you see that the user is subscribed for that message/thread in the UI?
