How to get the user_id to send message?

Hi,

I've just create a new account and I'm trying to send myself a message with the console to my Geoloqi iPhone app.

I'm able to send myself a message with the map. I can't with the console since I don't have the user_id. I can't find anything in the API to retrieve it.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm having the same problem.

I was trying to retrive users in my app

1. go to the API console page

2. GET, assign Authentication with my app's token

3. use "user/list"

and this is what I got returned:

{
"error_code": "400 Bad Request",
"error": "invalid_client",
"error_description": "No client credentials provided, or invalid client"
}

How exactly can we use this API as the sample code in the document of user/list shows:

curl -s -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ 
     --user "YOUR_CLIENT_ID:YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" https://api.geoloqi.com/1/user/list

Thanks

If you are trying to send a message to yourself, you can use the "message/send" method with only the "text" parameter. You do not need to provide the user_id to send a message to yourself.

Thanks It works.

If you encounter this error on the Console while accessing "user/list"

{
"error_code": "400 Bad Request",
"error": "invalid_client",
"error_description": "No client credentials provided, or invalid client"
}

Then it's better you select POST instead of GET and that should work.

the parameter that you need to use is

client_id and client_secret

Howdy, Stranger!
