How to create an Idea Exchange using REST?

We need to programmatically spin up idea exchanges.  While I can create a new board and set its interaction.style setting to "idea" this doesn't work as expected.  The object is still a forum board, ...

    Hey xorrkaz,

     

    Instead of creating a new board and changing the interaction style you should be able to create an idea directly.

     

    The call should look something like this:

     

    /restapi/vc/categories/id/support/nodes/type/key/idea/add?idea.id=testidea&idea.title=IDEAS%20TITLE

     

    Hope this helps,

     

    Yuri

Wow.  Thanks.  No where is this documented.  Are you sure that's the REST node?  Off of the GenericNode class I don't see a "type" branch.

Just tested this.  It does not work:

 

Array
(
    [response] => Array
        (
            [status] => error
            [error] => Array
                (
                    [code] => 501
                    [message] =>
      Unknown path element at node 'category.nodes.type'.
    
                )

        )

)
ERROR: Error response from server: 1
