Benedict How can I get "@"(mention) information from Chatter using SOQL or REST?
Hi, I am a new Chatter App developer and I am trying to extract interactions between Chatter users in my organization.
The "@" or mention information is very important for my App, but it seems there is no documentation about how to get "@" information neither in SOQL nor in REST.
Can anybody tell me how to access "@" information? Many thanks in advance!
Hi Benedict,
The Chatter REST API ( http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/index.htm ) returns full information on the message "segments" in a feed item. This includes information on mention segments.
From the help page on the response payloads here: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/Content/connect_returns.htm you can see that the "Feed Body" payload which is contained in returned feed items and comments includes segment information. A mention segment has a "type" property of "mention" and contains a summary of the mentioned user.
You can also post feed items and comments that include mentions using the Chatter REST API. Provide a json or XML payload (using content-type application/json or application/xml) following the structures outlined here http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/chatterapi/Content/connect_resources_input.htm
Cheers,

Hi .. ,
Chatter Rest API retrun MessageSegment where we can get the every type of body text . Because of the API limiation I am just working with SOQL .
I am querying on FeedItem and lets say if FeedItem type='TrackedChange' then we can get the text body which is a track change like if some body has created an account then this feed text would be like ....
Record Name — User Name created this account.
How would I get this text from SOQL ?
Thanks
