Igloo Developer Relations works with partners and customers who are developing extensions or solutions that fit their specific needs. We also build solutions ourselves to solve problems for customers – both internal and external.

There are times when a low-level solution to a high-level problem can seem daunting – How do you solve for X when you have to think about A through W?

 We’ve adopted three simple rules that we follow whenever we’re creating a solution that helps:  

Someone, somewhere…

When you have successfully created a session with either the V1 or V2 APIs, you should have obtained a SessionKey or TokenID. To start building your customized functionality/integration it is important that you are authorized to do so. Your digital community knows that you are authorized to make API calls when you include the SessionKey or TokenID in the API request.

This article covers the steps on how to make subsequent API calls after you have created a session with any version of the API.

Membership Management is a very important aspect of your digital workplace. Ensuring that your organization's active directory is synced at all time, insures the integrity of the digital workplace and allows for better team collaboration via groups and spaces. Igloo provided a variety of ways to help you achieve this functionality: 

1. Igloo LDAP Sync Tool (ILST)
2. Programatically via our APIs

We strongly recommend the use of our ILST tool as it has been developed specially for the purpose of…

In a previous post, we announced new APIs that developers can use to retrieve content programmatically without impacting view analytics. These APIs are now available for use in your projects, continue reading to learn how they work.

If you're using the /.api/api.svc/objects/{OBJECT_ID}/view endpoint to retrieve content and other object meta from an object, it will count as a 'view' on that object.

What if you don't want it to count as a view? That's where the summary APIs come in! The summary…

Using labels on content makes it easy to categorize and search for content relevant to your users. Did you know that you can also create labels and label groups using the API? 

Category Classes? Categories? Labels? Label Groups? What's the difference?

In the Igloo API, labels are called 'Categories', and label groups are referred to as 'Category Classes'.   

Category Classes

Category Classes(label groups) allow you to organize your categories(labels) into meaningful groups. This is…

In a previous post, we discussed how we can get objects by path before and why that would be of use in certain situations.
You can also get objects by ID and in some cases that’s what you want to do.

What do you need?

Getting started is just as easy as when we showed you how to get started with getting objects by path. This time, we will be passing the id in the path of the GET request and not as a query parameter. You can use the /.api/api.svc/objects/byPath?path=/my/path to get the object id for…

Currently, the API v1 endpoints that retrieve object contents for a Forum Topic article, Wiki Article or Document increment the view count.  While this makes sense if you're building an integration that consumes content, it also causes problems if you're building an integration that is meant to drive users to that content.

We're excited to announce new Object Summary API endpoints that will be available in the next release (currently targetted for July 10) that will allow your integration to…

Today, as part of our Customer Care evolution, we’re pleased to present the new Igloo Developer Center. Our biggest update ever!

 We’ve worked hard to make it easier to find information and deliver new content - along with a better user experience.

  A few highlights include:

• A complete revamp of our API documentation.  We’ve standardized on Swagger / OpenAPI – and these documents are generated and updated directly from our codebase – so they’re always up to date.
  
  
  

• New content in the “get…
