Make a board read-only in bulk via API?

A customer wants to know if they can use our API to run a script (or batch process) on their newly migrated data in production so that all boards with a certain attribute are set to "read only."

    Hello Kate,

     

    According to the current REST API documentation it appears that the only related call is for messages (readonly/set). For example

     

    http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/messages/id/1271/readonly/set

    If the client know which board they want to set to readonly they should be able to create a script which gets each message from the desired boards and user the "readonly/set" API call with the message id.

     

    Otherwise, they should be able to go into the community structure tab and while editing each board check the "Make all posts read only" box.

     

    Let me know if you have any further questions.
