    Hi Neha and welcome to Lithosphere,

     

    Please take a look at the AuthenticationManager documentation here that explains the different available options to authenticate towards a Lithium Community depending on it's login setup: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/rest-api/bd-p/developers-rest-api?branch=AuthenticationManager

     

    Be aware that to my knowledge it's not possible to both authenticate and post a message with just one call. I think you need to authenticate first and use that token then to post.

    Welcome to the magical wonderland of Lithium REST API now :)
    With the authentication passed you are set to post a message to a thread: http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/rest-api/bd-p/developers-rest-api?leaf-id=MessageDiscussion.messages.post#MessageDiscussion.messages.post
    (Don't miss on the purple navigation headers on the documentation page to browse through and discover features of the REST API. Also the "Search all methods" box on top right works magic.)
