According to [a reply](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-sso-users-adding-to-group-subscribing-to-category-via-api/67335/2) by @Falco on [my post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-sso-users-adding-to-group-subscribing-to-category-via-api/67335), there’s a way to set users to watch categories using the API. I’ve spent hours searching the web and combing through the [API documentation](http://docs.discourse.org/) but I cannot find this call.

Does anyone know what API call could be used to set a user to watch a specific category?

Thank you.
