@Mikkel-Lindhard how are you making the requests, the watch routes are definitely on the develop branch. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/develop/src/routes/write/categories.js#L24-L25. You need to make a put request to /api/v3/categories/2/watch

[Mikkel Lindhard]

@baris Through Postman - I can share the request if you have the time; otherwise, here is a screenshot of the Postman configuration:

Try sending as form-data or x-www-form-urlencoded?

[Mikkel Lindhard]

Yields 404 also.
Can I, in the administration Dashboard, see if I'm running on the "develop" branch?
From serverside, I can check with git status where it clearly states I'm running on that branch but from the dashboard.

The easiest way would be to literally go into that controller file and see if the routes are physically there.

src/routes/write/categories.js, look for /watch in the file.

[Mikkel Lindhard]

endpoints are present:

   setupApiRoute(router, 'put', '/:cid/watch', [...middlewares, middleware.assert.category], controllers.write.categories.setWat>
    setupApiRoute(router, 'delete', '/:cid/watch', [...middlewares, middleware.assert.category], controllers.write.categories.set>

You can see which branch you are on at /admin/development/info

Seems to work on this forum with the below code.

const api = await app.require('api');
api.put(`/categories/2/watch`, { uid: 1, state: 'watching' }).then((data) => {
    console.log(data);
});

@baris I have it working - I just needed to use a user token that was not the master and add the _uid=0 to as param..

[julian]

That's quite peculiar... because when you use a non-master token, you explicitly don't need to pass in _uid since the uid is assumed from the token itself... but I'm glad you sorted it out

[Mikkel Lindhard]

It was indeed not necessary to have the _uid.
