Cannot create extProp on an Idea via Jive 7 REST API

pierce.currid@citi.com May 9, 2014 8:36 AM

I have tried to add extProps to an Idea, when creating it, using the /api/core/v3/contents endpoint.

this JSON was added "extprops":{"ideaType":"Compliment"}

However. when I try to retrieve the extProp using a GET on api/core/v3/contents/{id}/extprops,

I get the following error:

{"error":{"message":"This request is not allowed for invalid client id","status":401}}

This is done via a JIVE 7 REST API call using Basic Auth.

Any ideas?!

Can you confirm that you are using an OAuth clientID/clientSecret to make this request, or are you using Basic Auth?

    Pierce, that is the problem. ExtProps are scoped client only visibility (prevents other clients from seeing props they shouldn't) ... and as such only work with the clientID/clientSecret paradigm. =\ You'll need to use a simple Add-On, as described here,
    OAuth 2.0 to register for a clientID/clientSecret to get these credentials. Hope this helps.
    
    On a side note, saw your email this morning that you sent over the weekend...will be getting to it today =)
