Jump to: navigation, search
Needs Update: This documentation is based on a reading of the code, not on actual use of the method. Should be verified that it works as described, and an example request and response added.
Warning: This method is not yet available for use.

Returns a verbose list of information about a user's watch list (those that the user has subscribed to) and/or the user's trust list (those that the user has granted access to). Also can get the user's watched-by list, trusted-by list, content filters and trust groups.

Inputs

username Scalar. Required. Username of user logging in.

auth_method Scalar. Optional. Authentication method used for this request. The default value is "clear", for plain-text authentication. "cookie" and any of the challenge-response methods are also acceptable.

password Deprecated. Scalar. Optional. Password of user logging in in plaintext. If using the "clear" authentication method, either this or "hpassword" must be present.

hpassword Deprecated. Scalar. Optional. MD5 digest of user's password. Not much more secure than password, but at least it's not in plain text.

auth_challenge Scalar. Optional. If using challenge-response authentication, this should be the challenge that was issued to you by the server.

auth_response Scalar. Optional. If using challenge-response authentication, this should be the response hash that you generate, based on the formula required for your challenge.

ver Scalar. Optional. Protocol version supported by the client; assumed to be 0 if not specified. See Protocol Versions for details on the protocol version.

includewatchedusers Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the list of those to whom the user has subscribed.

includewatchedby Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the list of those who have subscribed to the user.

includetrustedusers Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the list of those to whom the user has granted access.

includetrustedby Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the list of those who have granted access to the user.

includecontentfilters Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the user's list of content filters.

includetrustgroups Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will get back the user's list of trust groups (same as the list returned by gettrustgroups).

limit Scalar. Optional. If set to a numeric value greater than zero, this mode will only return the number of results indicated, up to a maximum set by the $LJ::MAX_WT_EDGES_LOAD variable. Applies to the trustedusers, trustedbys, watchedusers and watchedbys lists.

includebdays Scalar. Optional. If set to 1, you will also get back user birthdays with the results below.

Outputs

trustedusers Array of structs. Optional. If the includetrustedusers key was set, a struct with the following keys is returned for each of the trusted users (those to whom the user has granted access):

  • username Scalar. Required. The username of the trusted user.
  • fullname Scalar. Required. The full name of the trusted user.
  • identity_type Scalar. Optional. If the trusted user's type is identity: Type of identity user, OpenID, TypeKey, etc.
  • identity_value Scalar. Optional. If the trusted user's type is identity: Value for identity, OpenID is a URL.
  • identity_display Scalar. Optional. If the trusted user's type is identity: Pretty display name of an identity user.
  • birthday Scalar. Optional. The trusted user's birthday. This is returned only if that user has set their birthday to be publicly visible on their profile. To receive this field you will also need to request it, using the includebdays key.
  • fgcolor Scalar. Required. The foreground color assigned to the trusted user.
  • bgcolor Scalar. Required. The background color assigned to the trusted user.
  • groupmask Scalar. Required. If the trusted user's group mask is not "1" (just bit 0 set), then this variable is returned with a 32-bit unsigned integer with bit 0 always set, and bits 1-30 set for each group this trusted user is a part of. Bit 31 is reserved.
  • type Scalar. Optional. The trusted user's journal type. This value can be one of 'community', 'syndicated' or 'identity', depending on the journaltype of the account in question. The account is a normal personal account when this value is not sent.
  • status Scalar. Optional. The trusted user's status. This value can be one of 'deleted', 'suspended' or 'purged', depending on the status of the account in question. The account is in the normal visible state when this value is not sent.

  • identity_display Scalar. Optional. If the trusting user's type is identity: Pretty display name of an identity user.
  • birthday Scalar. Optional. The trusting user's birthday. This is returned only if that user has set their birthday to be publicly visible on their profile. To receive this field you will also need to request it, using the includebdays key.
