How to subscribe to a label using a custom link, expecially in a Forum?

Is there a way to subscribe to a label using a custom link? I see that in the Subscribe to Label link in TKBs, there is a url and a token. (See code below) Is there a way to do this without the toke...

Hi Inactive User ,

You can look to use the subscriptions API over here to subscribe/unsubscribe a user to a label:

https://developer.khoros.com/khoroscommunitydevdocs/docs/create-user-subscriptions#section-label-subscription

curl -X POST \
    https://[COMMUNITY DOMAIN]/api/2.0/subscriptions \
    -H 'content-type: application/json' \
    -H 'li-api-session-key: [SESSION KEY]' \
    -d '{
    "data":{
        "type":"subscription",
        "target":{
            "type":"label",
            "id":"Mexico"
        },
        "board":{
            "id":"vacationBlog"
        }        
    }
}'

    Thank you. Any thoughts on how I could create a link on a page with that script? I'm at a loss of where to use curl on a Community page. Component? Endpoint? Is it even valid in freemarker? Etc.

        Would this be correct, then?

         

         

        <#assign messagePostCall = restBuilder()
   .method("POST")
   .path("/subscriptions")
   .body({
            "type": "message",
            "board": {
             
                "id": "board-test"
            },
            "target": { 
                "type":"label",
                "id": "Jupiter"
                     }
        })
   .admin(true) />
<#assign resp = messagePostCall.call() />
