Update application to set related records field using API

[Archerwizz2022]

Hi,

My objective is to set the related records field I have on the application using RESTful API call from C#.

I get the feed from XML document, which I consume, getting all the required fields.

Which API should I use? And if there is any sample code, that would be perfect.

I believe if I need to add a user to different groups, then I should be using this API!

/api/core/system/user

Thank you

@Archerwizz2022,

REST API or CONTENT API can be utilized. @JeffLetterman made a very good guideline in here:

Awesome.

Now, if I create/update a cross reference using the example you provided, like

Cross-Reference (Type = 9)

      "13907": {
        "Type": 9,
        "Tag": "My Contacts (Cross-Reference to Contacts)",
        "Value": [
          {
            "ContentId": 205522
          },
          {
            "ContentId": 318794
          },
          {
            "ContentId": 325672
          }
        ],
        "FieldId": 13907
      }

Which API shall I use to delete the record, if I need to do that later. I searched the REST API collection, and I only found the Delete Content Record, which uses a contentid.

Not sure if it's the right API, then how would I get the contentid.
