Hi all,
My question: How can I use REST to embed a new Poll into a Forum Thread?
What I know... I am very familiar with the Telligent REST API but I am new to creating Polls. I have looked at the embed code used for polls, which seems straight-forward, and I have used GET api.ashx/v2/poll/{id}.json to fetch a poll, so I think I have a good handle on the structure.
What I have tried...
- I tried adding the poll embed code to a new Thread without ID values on the off chance that the processing would auto-generate a new poll and insert the values - it didn't (just trying to be thorough).
- I tried using a REST call to POST /api.ashx/v2/poll.json, which fails with "Can't perform actions by ContentUrl outside of authenticated OAuth request.". I am using an API with the REST API as OAuth doesn't fit my use case of migrating content.
- Side note: this endpoint requires the contentUrl, which seems to imply a three step process of creating the Thread first, creating the Poll, then updating the Thread with the Poll embed code/
- I tried using the deprecated REST call POST /api.ashx/v2/forums/{forumId}/threads/{threadId}/pollitems.json, which failed with "An unexpected error prevented your requested action from completing" (the server side error was "No matching bindings are available")
Any tips would be appreciated.
