Entity Management API

Register a user:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "userId": "user@universe.u",
    "name": "Test User"
}' "http://localhost:3025/users"

Register social interaction services identities for that user:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "userId": "user@universe.u",
    "serviceId": "facebookmessengerbot",
    "identity": "184858454541",
    "enabled": true
}' "http://localhost:3025/identities"


curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "userId": "user@universe.u",
    "serviceId": "email",
    "identity": "user@universe.u",
    "enabled": true
}' "http://localhost:3025/identities"

In the case of Facebook Messenger, it will be the bot itself who will register the Facebook Messenger identity following checkbox plugin or the account linking processes.

Set the preferred social interaction for that user:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "userId": "user@universe.u",
    "serviceId": "facebookmessengerbot"
}' "http://localhost:3025/preferences"

Change it:

curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "serviceId": "email"
}' "http://localhost:3025/preferences/user@universe.u"
