New ranking structure added - how does it affect API?

I updated my community's ranking structure. How will I know which ranking is the new one if they are labeled the same thing? Is there a way to differentiate them in the rest API?

 

Thanks!

    daphtan - Yes, their ID would be unique if you have created the new rank. While making the REST call, /restapi/vc/users/id/[id]/ranking you will get following response:

     

    <response status="success">
<ranking type="ranking" href="/rankings/id/1">
<display>
<left_image type="image" null="true"/>
<right_image type="image" null="true"/>
<thread_image type="image" null="true"/>
<bold type="boolean">true</bold>
<color type="string">b2b2b2</color>
</display>
<name type="string">Community Manager</name>
<id type="int">1</id>
</ranking>
</response>

     If you create another rank with the same name, it'd have a different ID.

     

    I hope this helps.
