Sharing item not working and no error message

PierreMasson

I want to share a map into a group. I use a post call

https://<portal_url>/sharing/rest/content/users/<user_owner>/shareItems/?f=json

body:

items=35767ae53e0f497e9e5789ca90ad6f77
groups=d67c7123e9454d678de355cbdb57e6be
confirmItemControl=true
everyone=false
org=false

and I get this has result:

{

"results": []

}

I should receive something like that:

<SPAN class="">{</SPAN>  <SPAN class="" style="color: #a31515;">"results"</SPAN><SPAN class="">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="">[</SPAN>    <SPAN class="">{</SPAN>      <SPAN class="" style="color: #a31515;">"itemId"</SPAN><SPAN class="">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="" style="color: #a31515;">"<SPAN style="color: #505050; background-color: #ffffff;">35767ae53e0f497e9e5789ca90ad6f77</SPAN>"</SPAN><SPAN class="">,</SPAN>      <SPAN class="" style="color: #a31515;">"success"</SPAN><SPAN class="">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="" style="color: #0000ff;">true</SPAN><SPAN class="">,</SPAN>      <SPAN class="" style="color: #a31515;">"notSharedWith"</SPAN><SPAN class="">:</SPAN> <SPAN class="">[</SPAN>               <SPAN class="">]</SPAN>    <SPAN class="">}</SPAN>  <SPAN class="">]</SPAN><SPAN class="">}</SPAN>

Why do I get this empty result? Evidently the sharing is not working but I do not even receive a success : false result.

I login into the portal UI and I can share the map easily to the group.

Please help.

Found the soluition. The API reference is not clear on this. groups parameter must be pass has a querystring parameter, not in the body. In the reference exemple, there is no ? after /share...
