RESTAPI Authentication for posting a reply

Hi All,

 

I am developing a module in Windows 10 App to reply to a post.

I am using RESTAPI Session Key for authentication.

These are the steps I followed

1. Got Session key using following

http://testcompany.lithium.com/test/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/login?user.login='test'&user.password='test'

I use the above url to get Session key which i am able to get successfully.

 

2. I tried to post to the community using the following url

.http://testcompany.lithium.com/test/restapi/vc/messages/id/54/reply?message.body='for testing'&message.subject='testing'

This call fails with error message 

 

User -1 does not have the following permission(s) at Test: [ allow_restapi_call_modify ]

 

I have verified the user do have the permission mentioned above but still it fails.Infact I used Admin login to do the post and still facing the same error.

 

Any pointers!!

 

Thanks,

Vijay

      Hi vbandi,

      once you get the session token you should pass it to  your reply call:

      http://testcompany.lithium.com/test/restapi/vc/messages/id/54/reply?message.body='for testing'&message.subject='testing'&restapi.session_key=[SESSION KEY TOKEN]
