Through API Control Member's Watched Status

Ted Mead

When using the API to add a member I can't figure out how to not have the member watch the card.  I tried "subscribed":"false" in the JSON or similarly using the URL address.  The members are added by all have the watched box checked.

When I get a card with "all" the fields there is no difference in the JSON if a member is watching or not, and getting all the cards the member is attached to didn't show any differences.

The user updating the card is a board admin.

The API docs have no references to "Watch".

@Ted Mead you can only unsubscribe a user via the API using their own API token, you can't unsubscribe on their behalf. Each member can add a Butler command to unwatch any card they're added to. I also have a product that does this and centralises cards they're added to or comments mentioned so that they get fewer notifications:
