Retrieve the Communities service document 

The first step perform if you plan to update resources made available through the Atom APIs is to retrieve the service document for the application.

Table 1. Atom API request details

Method Resource URI Description
GET Service Document /service/atom/service Retrieves a user's service document which contains the Communities Collections workspace.


Example

To retrieve the service document for the Communities application, send the following HTTP request:

> GET /communities/service/atom/service HTTP/1.1
> Host: enterprise.example.com
> Accept: */*

The service document for Communities is returned by the server. For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<service xml:lang="en">
  <workspace>
    <atom:title type="text">Communities Collections</atom:title>
    <collection href="https:/enterprise.example.com/communities/service/atom/communities/all">
