Method to access "other user" items

[Alexandru]

Hello,

Is there a way to access the items another user has in his inventory?
We are looking for something similar to https://getbraincloud.com/apidocs/apiref/#capi-useritems-getuseritem but for another user.

Hi Claudiu,

It's possible to do this using cloud script... you just need to impersonate the other user...

Here's an example script that does this - caveat, it only returns the first page of user items.

Create the script, and set it's test parameters to:

{
  "profileId": "www-xxx-yyy-zzzz-123456"
}

(Note - you'll of course want to replace profileId with an id of a user that you want to test with.)

And here's the code...

var response = {};

// We need to impersonate another user to make this call
var otherSession = bridge.getSessionForProfile( data.profileId );
var otherUserItemsProxy = bridge.getUserItemsServiceProxy( otherSession );

// Now, request the page of items from that proxy
var context = {
  "pagination": {
    "rowsPerPage": 50,
    "pageNumber": 1
  },
  "searchCriteria": {},
  "sortCriteria": {
    "createdAt": 1
  }
};    
var includeDef = true;

var itemResult = otherUserItemsProxy.getUserItemsPage( context, includeDef );

if (( itemResult.status == 200) && ( itemResult.data.results.count > 0 )) {
    response.items = itemResult.data.results.items;
} else {
    response.items = [];
}

response;

For convenience I've attached an export of the script. You can import this script into your app from the Design | Cloud Code | Scripts screen.

Hope that helps!

Paul.
