INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS when I tried to access a user's news feed I followed
I logged into chatter app using my credential. When I tried to open another user's feeds using following REST API
/services/data/v28.0/chatter/feeds/news/005i0000001lc4X/feed-items
where 005i0000001lc4X is that user's Id, I got error message saying:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 07:31:38 GMT Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked
[ { "message" : "You do not have permission to execute that operation.", "errorCode" : "INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS" } ]
Any idea why? Because I am following this user, I should be able to view his news feeds, right?
Thanks in advance!
Only a user can view his or her own news feed. What you probably want to request is the user profile feed. Instead of the "news" feed, use the "user-profile" feed, as in:
GET /services/data/v28.0/chatter/feeds/user-profile/005i0000001lc4X/feed-items

Thanks! it works. I have another follow up question: how to get all feeds for a group?
I tried following url (0F9i00000000MLq as groupId), but it does not work.
/services/data/v28.0/chatter/groups/0F9i00000000MLq/feed-items
Error messaage is:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:06:53 GMT Sforce-Limit-Info: api-usage=978/5000 Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Transfer-Encoding: chunked
[ { "message" : "The requested resource does not exist", "errorCode" : "NOT_FOUND" } ]
Thanks!
For that, you need to use "record" in the URL instead of "groups".
This "How do I..." page in the API documentation is quite useful for common operations:
