Accessing Site Newsfeed in Sharepoint 2013 via REST

Question

I have a SharePoint system set up and a site created named 'testsite'. I can access folders and documents via different means respectively, e.g.:

http://host.name/testsite/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/testsite/shared%20documents')/folders

Now I would like to access the newsfeed for this site. As far as i understand the documentation (whick lacks examples) i should be able to do so using the following URL:

http://host.name/testsite/_api/social.feed/actor(item=@v)/feed?@v='http://host.name'/testsite/newsfeed.aspx

However I get the following response:

I don't have any indication of what i am doing wrong here. And would appreciate any sort of help.

Answer 1

The problem is that you have a ' after the .name in your v= parameter, remove that and you should get a good response. Try this

http://host.name/testsite/_api/social.feed/actor(item=@v)/feed?@v='http://host.name/testsite/newsfeed.aspx'
