GET

The GET method for push feeds is a simplified alternative to the social contact create (POST) API. It requires no API authentication.

WARNING: the GET method is not the preferred API call for creating the social contact. This is because:

  • GET does not offer as much information protection as the social contact create (POST) method.
  • GET sends no payload body, but contains all parameters for the social contact in the URL. Both the network and the browser could truncate information if the URL is very long. (This would happen if many extensionFields were provided.)

An example of a push feed URL:

https://<ServerIP>:<Port>/ccp-webapp/ccp/pushfeed/<id>?title=

Example&author=admin&description =some_example&tags=

ccx:sales,ccx: engineering&extensionField_customerID

=98765&extensionField_remarks=My_router_is_broken

HTTPS method:

Parameters:

  • Title—the title of the social contact.
  • Author—the author of the social contact.

Tags and the extension field names cannot contain commas or colons.
