REST API unread counter

[m1nd_killer]

Hello everyone!

I use your nice service in my job for our corporate needs.
So, in integration we tried to show user unread counter by using REST API.
I use the next request on the server-side:
https://my_server.com:7071/home/[user-name]/inbox?fmt=json&query=is:unread

And all works fine untill users have small unread counter.
We found one user who have 12k unread inbox letters and this case kills our server down.
The reason is a very huge response, cuz we get full text of the letter, and a lot of useless information for simple counter.

So, i hope u can help me somehow.
How can i get this info trough REST or SOAP without huge overhead?
Thank you.

You're probably looking for the GetFolder SOAP Request: https://files.zimbra.com/docs/soap_api/ ... older.html

Hello. Thank you for this link.
But how can i get unread inbox letters for particular user by using this SOAP request?
And i need to have access to info trough any type of username. Real name or alias.
By the way, we can see that this request gives us big overhead too...
Can it really help me somehow?

you can get the unread count in GetFolderResponse:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:zimbra" xmlns:urn1="urn:zimbraMail">
<soapenv:Header>
<urn:context>
<urn:authToken><auth_token_of_user></urn:authToken>
</urn:context>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn1:GetFolderRequest>
<urn1:folder l="2"/> --2 id of Inbox folder
</urn1:GetFolderRequest>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


<GetFolderResponse xmlns="urn:zimbraMail">
<folder i4ms="11409" rev="1" i4next="1862" f="u" ms="1" deletable="0" l="1" uuid="388e04a0-6e55-43f2-bbca-b069ad7dd9c2" n="79" luuid="116d4141-7fdd-4b23-9d84-ea9dd66d7d2a" activesyncdisabled="0" absFolderPath="/Inbox" view="message" s="303403" u="65" name="Inbox" id="2" webOfflineSyncDays="30"/>

Hello.
Thank you for your post.
This request work nice, but the problem is <auth_token_of_user>.
I cant get it without name and password of user.
When i use the REST API, i can use the admin-account to get info, but for this request if i use admin-account, i get unread counter for admin.
The issue that i try to resolve is taking this counter without user login, by user name, using my admin-account.
Funny then i can take full messaging history by the admin-account, but cant get only counters.

Hello everyone.

Thank you for help.
I have found what i needed.

I have fixed my issue by next solution:
1. I get token by AuthRequest with admin-account.
2. I get user-token by DelegateAuthRequest with user-account name.
3. And then i use GetItemRequest with authToken from the 2nd step.

All works fine. Three requests... But it is better than 1st solution.

Thank you, again.
