Thanks, Bob.

 

Could you please respond to the below query also.

 

How do we choose the right option among 'Request Parameter' and 'Request Body' while sending a feed via Post method?

 

And, how do we access the returned value of the Post method? (Example, type Message, after sending a private message)

 

Regards,

SuBaa

Hi Subaa,

 

Are you referring to the user message endpoints in the Chatter API?

 

You may send either request parameter values OR a request body as part of your request.

 

Use Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded in your request header to send request parameters.

Use Content-Type: application/json or application/xml in your request header to send a request body as JSON or XML

 

The returned value of a POST method is listed in the documentation as the "Response Body" entry, but unfortunately it looks like the one you're talking about may be missing, i'll try to get that fixed. If you POST a new message to /chatter/users/<userId or 'me'>/messages you will get a "Message" response back.

 

Cheers,

- Chris
