[annotator-dev] How to query annotations created by current user only

Thu Nov 27 00:47:44 UTC 2014

Thanks for the help Bird, your suggestion works great. I see that I didn't
understand the documentation.

I do have another question if you don't mind.

For the PUT and DELETE endpoints, the annotator does not use the
/api/annotator/:id pattern but sends the annotation in the request body and
calls /api/annotator. I can get the 'id' from the body so can make it work
but this behavior does not correspond to the docs. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks again,

Rick
