Details

Updates a single author by network ID on a specific instance of that network. The ID passed in the URL must exist in Care or the call will fail.

Use this with a networktype of "lithium" or "crm" only. If you passed a CRM author ID, for example, you would need to specify which instance of your CRM the author ID is associated with.

Example: "sfdc_1"

📘

Note

If a CRM author integration or custom CRM author attribute has not been configured in Care by Khoros Support or Khoros Services, the call will return a 400 error.

Path Params
string
required

The type of network that manages content created by or about an author. Supported values are: "instagram", "facebook", "googleplus", "lithium", "crm"

For a networktype of value "lithium" or "crm" you must also pass the networkinstance, because these types of networks can have multiple instances as opposed to Instagram, Facebook, or Google+ that have only a single, default network.

The Author API supports "instagram", "facebook", "googleplus", "lithium", and "crm" only as values for networktype.

string
required

The specific, uniquely-identifiable instance of a networktype. Use this argument with a networktype of "lithium" or "crm" only because other network types such as Facebook, Instagram, and Google+ have only a single, default instance.

If you wanted to PUT or GET author data by passing in a CRM author ID, for example, you would need to specify which CRM instance the CRM author ID is associated with.

Example: "sfdc_1"

The value to pass for networkinstance is either the instance of your Lithium community (example: https://my_community_instance.com) or the key you defined for the CRM author integration for this CRM (example: "sfdc_1").

string
required

The internal ID of the author generated by the network. For Facebook, this is the PSID. Compare this to the the externally used networkhandle. The network ID must be unique to a given networkinstance.
