Getting the link to the community post from the API?

Hi Liam,

Check out the following page which has details on "view" attributes for REST API responses:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/rest-api/bd-p/developers-rest-api?page=apiresponse

The main one you'll be interested in for getting URLs is "view_href". More information here:

http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/developers-knowledge-base/Obtaining-the-URL-of-a-thread-based-on-message-ID-using-REST-API/ta-p/6706

If you're working with the response via FreeMarker in a custom component, you can use FreeMarker to get the value of an element attribute by using the format "@attributeName". For example, if you're assigned a message to the variable "myMessage", you could do something like this to output the URL of the message:

${myMessage.@view_href}
