API Reference

Media.rateFile

Use this method to rate a media item on a scale.

When this method is accessed without the use of a API key, user ID is ignored and the current session is being used to determine the user id. A user can only rate once for every file. If the user attempts to vote again, the previous rating will be replaced.

If returnData = 1 then the data from getFileInfo will be returned. This is useful if you need to make further calculations on the new rating.

If returnData = 0 or is not included in the request only the rating value will be returned in the response.
