Connect REST API Examples

While using the Connect REST API, remember these request parameter and request body tips.

• Request parameters may be included as part of the Connect REST API resource URL, for example, /chatter/users?q=searchtext. A request body is a rich input which may be included as part of the request. When accessing a resource, you can use either a request body or request parameters. You cannot use both.
• With a request body, use Content-Type: application/json or Content-Type: application/xml.
• With request parameters, use Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

For more information on request bodies, see Using POST, PATCH, or PUT for Input.
