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>

      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
