Attempting to Mark multiple entries as Read

[TimCadieux]

I'm attempting to pass multiple ID using the below from the docs

DELETE /v2/unread_entries.json will mark the specified entry_ids as read.
Request

{
"unread_entries": [4089, 4090, 4091]
}

Using RestSharp, i'm doing the below....it returns httpCode 200 however the records are not Marked as unread...the josnbody being passed in looks like

{ "unread_entries": [2215599374,2215589372] }

        var url = "https://api.feedbin.com/v2/unread_entries.json";

          var pwd = "pwd";
          var user = "user";

          var client = new RestClient(url);
          client.Authenticator = new HttpBasicAuthenticator(user, pwd);

          var request = new RestRequest(url, Method.DELETE);

          string body = "{ \"unread_entries\": [" + ids + "] }";

          request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;
          request.AddParameter("application/json", body, ParameterType.RequestBody);

          return client.Execute<HttpStatusCode>(request).StatusCode;

Hi @TimCadieux,

I'm not sure I'm following. Are you trying to mark entries as read or unread?

To mark as read, you would make a request like:

curl  \
--request DELETE \
--user "example@example.com:password" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-ascii '{"unread_entries": [2221429186]}' \
https://api.feedbin.com/v2/unread_entries.json

To mark as unread, you would make a request like:

curl  \
--request POST \
--user "example@example.com:password" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-ascii '{"unread_entries": [2221429186]}' \
https://api.feedbin.com/v2/unread_entries.json

Note that one is a DELETE request and the other is a POST request.

In general if you could express your examples as curl or raw HTTP, it would be easier to see what is happening and reproduce.

Thanks!

I was mistakenly passing the array of IDs like this

{"unread_entries": ['2221429186']}'
