Response Body

<tsResponse version-and-namespace-settings>
  <favorites>
	<favorite label="favorite-label">
	  <view id="view-luid"
		name="view-name"
		contentUrl="content-url"
		createdAt="created-at"
		updatedAt="updated-at"
		viewUrlName="view-url-name">
	      <workbook id="workbook-luid"/>
		  <project id"project-luid"/>
		  <tags />
	  </view>
	</favorite>
	<!--      . . .more favorites. . .      -->
  </favorites>
</tsResponse>

The value of view-url-name is the name of the view in its URL. For example, if a view named View 1 shows the URL https://MY_SERVER/#/site/MY_SITE/views/VIEW_1 in your browser address bar, then the view-url-name would be VIEW_1. Modifying the name (display name) of a view will not impact the view-url-name (path element of the view's URL).

Response when favorite items have been deleted

In the case where an item selected as a favorite has been deleted the reponse body will contain only the label of the favorite.
