Hey guys, I need some help extracting the user's avatar image.
I'm currently using an REST API call that returns the data on a list of users of a specific role
http://community.futureshop.ca/restapi/vc/roles/id/387/users
However, i'm trying to get their Avatar information (img url) in the same XML. Can this be achieved? Or must I make separate API calls?
Thanks!
Nick
You may be able to setup an Endpoint to do this
THank you iahiqosolutions!
Currently i'm not sure how to create 2 requests for different RestAPI calls.
the first request is getting a list of Top Kudo Authors. This can be done.
The second request is to extract the ID from each Kudo Author and inject it using another RestAPI call
http://community.futureshop.ca/restapi/vc/users/id/387/profiles/avatar/url
I haven't integrated 2 RestAPI at the same time.... Would like to know though!
Best regards,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Check out this TKB article on how to combine multiple REST API calls into an endpoint:
The example is there is actually a very similar use case, so hopefully it will help you get started!
The main downside of using an endpoint in this case is that you would have to request the data via JavaScript/Ajax instead of being able to pull it directly into a custom component. If you were planning to use the data outside the community, then that wouldn't really be a concern.
