Status Message attachment using REST

Former Member over 3 years ago

Hi Community,

What is the correct way of adding a status message that had an inline image as an attachment using REST?

I can manually create the status with image in the website and fetch it with API, but I want to do the same create using the REST API Create Status Message REST Endpoint

I was expecting to find FiledData attribute as part of the request like on other resource like BlogPost.

Thanks,

Parents

You should be able to pass in the URL of the image (via [view] or <img src="..." />).

Thanks Brian but not sure if I get it...I have the Status Message body and the accompanying image as byte array and want to post that as a create on the REST API.....So the URL in this case would be of an image link that has already been posted upfront on the Telligent server or Im not understanding properly?

Status Messages do not have their own file storage, so the image has to be uploaded somewhere else first, either in a media gallery or an external URL.
