Hello Chris,

Thanks for your response, but I do use POST method for the query.

[quote]
[b]POST[/b] /ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx HTTP/1.0
Pragma: no-cache
X-NGAPIToken: ****************
Authorization: Basic ****************=
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 42
Host: services.newsgator.com
User-Agent: Foobar

[b]loc=NewsGator%20Web%20Edition&u=3729785502[/b]

I'm going to do some more tests side by side with Newsgator online reader...

Hi Yannick,

here is the link to the REST API

http://www.newsgator.com/ngs/api/NewsGatorRESTAPI.pdf

if you look on page 26 this call is detailed. Essentially, your "loc=NewsGator%20Web%20Edition&u=3729785502" needs to be in the post data portion of the request, not part of the URI. This call is a little different from the others in that the post data cannot be part of the URI.

Hope that helps!

Regards,

Chris

Hello guys,

Setting unread state still doesn't work for me.

First I'm setting read state (works fine)

[quote]
POST /ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx HTTP/1.0
Pragma: no-cache
X-NGAPIToken: ****************
Authorization: Basic ****************=
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 42
Host: services.newsgator.com
User-Agent: Foobar

loc=NewsGator%20Web%20Edition&r=3729785502

Then I'm trying to set unread state (looks ok from the HTTP point of view)

[quote]
POST /ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx HTTP/1.0
Pragma: no-cache
X-NGAPIToken: ****************
Authorization: Basic ****************=

But the item doesn't reappear in my interface (a tiny reader for the Archos 605 PMP, by the way).

Did I miss something ?

Anyway, Newsgator is a great product.

Thanks for that !

Hi Karl, no the item will not show up again in the web reader. I've submitted this issue as a bug (item not reappearing) and will follow up on this when a resolution is availble.

Thanks,

Chris

Chris,

Thanks very much for the response. It was a "loose nut at the keyboard" as I had neglected to add --digest to the curl command line. On a related note, if I issue an "unread" command (u=xxxxx) should I then see the item reappear in the web reader?

Hi Garish, I've been looking into this and can't seem to repeat the access denied response. We currently do not have any restrictions on this method. However, I was able to repeat this with invalid credentials. Is the crendential issue a possibility?

REST API setting read state

GarishKernels — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 08:17:15 GMT

Hello, I'm having some difficulty in setting the read state of an item using the REST API. I'm issuing:

curl http://services.newsgator.com/ngws/svc/PostItem.aspx?loc=Egress&r=3532702849 --user : --header "X-NGAPIToken: " --request POST

and I receive a 401.2 Access Denied. Is there something obvious that I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
