Operating as the user

[gpolucci]

Eric,
First - thanks for your wonderful work. It's been a blessing to us over here at SmartParents. I think there's an issue with API V2 support with respect to voting. Your API call resembles the following:

ZendeskApi.Topics.CreateVote(topicID)

However, I believe it should also take a user ID, otherwise, all my votes will come from the administrative connection that i use. I may very well be missing something, but I can't authenticate as my individual users, because their passwords are encrypted, and I don't know them.

Thanks.
Gerry

Hi Gerry,

According to http://developer.zendesk.com/documentation/rest_api/topic_votes.html the topicID is in fact the correct id. My guess is that Zendesk does not currently support what you would like to do (perhaps they don't want you to be able to vote as a user!). My advice would be to ask them about it in their forums (https://support.zendesk.com/home).

Best of luck,
Eric
