Overview

When trying to post Content through the GenericContent endpoint by using the POST API call, the operation results in errors.

Response:
  {
  "error" :
    {
      "status" : 501,
      "message" : "Verify parent field is not supported for generic content objects"
    }
  }

Similarly, the error for DELETE API call operation:

Response:
  {
    "error":
      {
        "status": 501,
        "message": "Delete is not supported for generic content objects"
      }
  }

Information

As per the Jive API documentation, the Content Service does not support operations with the GenericContent API endpoint. GenericContent is a placeholder class that does not have direct support yet for API operations, hence any API calls will result in the HTTP 501 errors (not implemented).

Please note that assistance with implementation and usage of the API queries is outside the Jive Support Team's scope of work. For more help with the Jive API, please review this information:

   • Note: API request results will be limited based on the authenticated user's System Administration Permission Level.
