Friend updates: Update types

[Karsten]

To get a list of your friends updates you call updates/friends.xml.
This returns a list of update nodes having the attribute 'type' e.g. 'review' or 'rating' or 'readstatus' or ...
The value of the type determines the format of the xml.
Where can one get a list of all types?
I think I have asked this years ago, but is it possible to get examples of all possible return values?
Thanks.

Hi Karsten,

Here is the current list of update types, with some explanation for the types that aren't that obvious:

review
comment
groupuser - user joins a group
updatearray - a collection of updates, like a user friending several users
userquote - user likes a quote
userlistvote - user votes on a list
userstatus - user posts a status update
readstatus - user updates their progress on a book
fanship - user starts following an author
friend
recommendation
userchallenge - user joins, makes progress on, or completes a challenge

I will update the documentation. Let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi Nichole,

Thanks. You did not answer my last question. Is it possible to get examples of the XML produced in the different scenarios/by the different update types?

Hey Karsten,

Sorry I missed your last question! Sure, we can update the documentation with that.

I'll update this thread again when that's done.

Thanks,
Nichole
