How to get information about whether a user is watching a specified content?

[Anurag Balodi]

Hi,

I am working on adding watch feature in Scroll Viewport theme. I am using workarround mentioned in https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VPRT-698

It is working fine but is there any way to know whether a current logged in user is watch a specific content or  not?

Actually as per the above mentioned work around, watch and unwatch button is visible all the time. However, it should be visible only according to the condition i.e. page is added in watch list or not. That's why I need to know the user is watching a specified content or not?

I have also tried to use the confluence Rest API but not succeeded:

https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/#user/watch-isWatchingContent

Any kind of help or guidance is really help full for me?

Thanks

Anurag

Hi Anurag,

I've extended the workaround description with a way to retrieve the watch state: https://k15t.jira.com/browse/VPRT-698

On Confluence 5.9 and later you can simply do a REST call to this URL:
<ConfluenceBaseUrl>/rest/watch-button/1.0/watchState/<PageId>

We'll create a template recipe covering the watch feature later, but this should get you started.


Cheers,
Jens
