We would like to update user abilities, but I can't seem to get this PUT request to work. Does anybody have an example of the message body for the User Abilities Update path?
What I have done so far:
Verified that my test user has all necessary permissions
Tested the auth token with other endpoints (GET requests work just fine)
Reviewed my institution abilities metadata for valid typing
Here's an example of what I'm attempting to send:
-------------------- REQUEST --------------------
Method: PUT
URI: https://banno.com/a/mobile/api/v0/institutions/{institution_uuid}/users/{user_uuid}/abilities/update
Headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsInR5...",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
Body: {
"travel_notices": False,
"zelle_enabled": "None"
}
-------------------- RESPONSE --------------------
Status: 400 - Malformed json, invalid keys/values, no key/values
Any advice would be very much appreciated!
RESOLVED:
I am using the Python requests library to submit these calls, and I was not converting the dict payload to JSON format before sending.

I am sending a post request from my flutter to a localhost api. However, the body on the server side is always empty/null. Whereas, if I send the exact same request on postman everything works fine.
String json = jsonEncode(toCheck);
Map<String,String> headers = {
"Accept": "application/json",
"content-type": "application/json",
};
var response = await http.post(
Uri.parse(userPath + 'validateUser/'),
headers: headers,
body: "{\"email\":\"david#hotmail.com\",\"username\":\"\",\"mobile_phone_number\":\"\",\"password\":\"david\"}");
print(response.statusCode);
if(response.statusCode == HttpStatus.ok){
return response.body as bool;
}
print(response.body.toString());
return false;
The status code is always 500 with the following error:
{"Message":"An error has occurred.","ExceptionMessage":"The value cannot be null"...
This error happens because the parameter "json" is null:
[HttpPost]
[Route("validateUser/", Name = "validadeUser")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> ValidateUser([FromBody] string json)
{
//get the username and password to validate the user
UserClient client = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserClient>(json); //error happens here because the string json is null
//...
}
However, when making the same exact request on postman, everything is okay:
The host on the android emulator app is the following:
https://10.0.2.2:44304/api/user/validateUser/
PS: looks like a duplicate of Flutter POST request body is empty on server side and Flutter Dart HTTP POST request body is empty on server side but none of those solutions have worked for me, therefore I posting a new question.
It took me a while to spot the error... but in the end, I did!
Your API takes a String argument from the request body:
ValidateUser([FromBody] string json)
That may seem alright at first, since indeed, you are sending a json String as your request body. But the thing is that since you're also using these headers:
{
"Accept": "application/json",
"content-type": "application/json",
}
This bit: "content-type": "application/json" will translate your correctly formatted json String into an actual json Object! So when it reaches your API, it will no longer be a String, and so your API won't be able to receive it properly.
The solution would be to either remove the "content-type": "application/json" from your headers and keep the request body and the API function as they are, or to change the API to:
ValidateUser([FromBody] object json)
The latter is probably the most convenient, since you were going to parse it from json String to json Object anyway! 🙂
(With this API function, you COULD also remove your "content-type": "application/json" bit from the headers, and then send the request body like this:
body: jsonDecode("{\"email\":\"david#hotmail.com\",\"username\":\"\",\"mobile_phone_number\":\"\",\"password\":\"david\"}"),
Or just not jsonEncode it in the first place... Just send it as an object. This will have the same effect as sending it as a json String with "content-type": "application/json" in the header.)
Btw, as a general rule, make sure you add lots of print and log statements in your code as you develop it! It will help you spot anything that didn't go quite as you had expected, along the way. 😉 (That's how I spotted this.)
Before sending the request to the server please encode your object to complete the body property of the request. Try this:
body: json.encode({\"email\":\"david#hotmail.com\",\"username\":\"\",\"mobile_phone_number\":\"\",\"password\":\"david\"})
Cheers.
I have created a doGet and doPost endpoints in my appscript. When I hit the endpoint to make a post request from Python, it does work perfectly and as expected.
But when I try to hit the same url with my Flutter based mobile App, it throws me an XML error. (Which I suspect is related to CORSING).
When I hit the url with get request, I get the right response, but post request is failing. To ensure that my Post request is properly configured, I have made a post request to public API and it worked like charm.
Is it possible to add headers, where I could enable cors like this:
allowHeaders = {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*", // Required for CORS support to work
"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": true, // Required for cookies, authorization headers with HTTPS
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Origin,Content-Type,X-Amz-Date,Authorization,X-Api-Key,X-Amz-Security-Token,locale",
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST, OPTIONS"
}
Here is what my doPost request returns:
ContentService.createTextOutput(JSON.stringify(
{
data: isAuthenticated.data,
error: true,
//request: request,
msg: query.apiKey,
//paramters:request.parameters
})).setMimeType(ContentService.MimeType.JSON)
Here is my python script to get the post response:
requests.post("https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbz7kTROol8u509M_p9pMZ9XRnL-myVjcRQKeb9Etp_OIMPnH640vHf_0Jp2dvvrbto7kOg/exec",
json = requestObject)
And here is my Flutter function:
Future<http.Response> createAlbum() async{
print("Trying to make a post request");
var result = await http.post(Uri.parse('https://script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbz7kTROol8u509M_p9pMZ9XRnL-myVjcRQKeb9Etp_OIMPnH640vHf_0Jp2dvRIco7kOg/exec'),
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
body: jsonEncode(<String, dynamic>{
"apiKey":apiKey,
"operationType":"register_user",
"operationData": {
"email": "shivam#yoptima.com",
"otp": 318728
}
}),
);
print("Here is the result: " + result.body);
}
Just to clarify things:
Get Request works for both the platforms.
Post Request works with python for AppScript.
Post Request works for any other public API from flutter.
Post Request doesn't work for Flutter when Hitting AppScript API.
I suspect it to be something to do with CORS. (But not very sure).
Flutter http library makes request via XMLHttpRequest.
I am trying to POST API request where I am getting API response as
"d": {
"__metadata": {
"uri": "http://ev-qa02.zs.local/IncentiveManager/0002i1/wcf/v5.svc/InDataRequestCreators('9f31c6da-ec56-4360-8589-d21b6320f99b')",

"InDataRequestUrlOut": "/InDataRequests('eb36f8a9-5b7d-4835-88f6-4af67830c1e9')"
}
}
Now I am trying to hit another API request where my URL would be kind of
http://ev-qa02.zs.local/IncentiveManager/0002i1/WCF/V5.svc/InDataRequests('eb36f8a9-5b7d-4835-88f6-4af67830c1e9')/FileCreator
*InDataRequests('eb36f8a9-5b7d-4835-88f6-4af67830c1e9') This random number is generated from above response value "InDataRequestIdOut"
How can I append the URL taking previous API response and adding in my 2nd POST request.
I am not able to capture my response and used it in other API POST request? i would realy appreciate if you can help me here,been stuck in this issue since couple of days,I went through doc and examples too but couldn't resolve this.I have attached screenshot too.PostUrlFailureScreenshot
My main problem is line number 26 and 27 from eclipe screenshot

First, it looks to me you are using the wrong Eclipse plugin for Cucumber, please refer to this issue and make sure: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/90
There are so many things you are doing wrong. For example it should be application/json (lowercase). There are many places you are mixing upper case and lower case in your above description, please take care.
And there is no way to understand how the URL is being set up, without this - I can't provide proper help.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how to use Karate expressions, for example this is just concatenating two strings:
And path 'app.InDataRequestIdOut' + '/FileCreators'
This may give you some hints, instead of the above:
When url baseUrl
And path "InDataRequests('" + response.InDataRequestIdOut + "')/FileCreator"
And is it FileCreator or FileCreators. You seem to be quite careless :(
Hi I am trying to use workato to create a task for Podio. I have successfully connected to Podio using their HTTP OAUTH2 connection, but when I try to actually create the task using JSON, I receive this from Podio:
This is from HTTP:
400 Bad Request:
{"error_parameters":{},"error_detail":null,"error_propagate":false,"request":{"url":"http://api.podio.com/task/","query_string":"","method":"POST"},"error_description":"Invalid
JSON","error":"invalid_value"}
The Code is as follows:
Request URL : https://api.podio.com/task/item/"the item id" <--This is where I would place the itemID of the item in Podio
Request header:
Authorization: OAuth2 [[User.SiteAccessToken]]
Content-type: application/json
Request Body:
{
"text": "Regarding Absence Request for Vacation",
"responsible":"{"type":profile, "id": "this is my profileID" }",
"description": "Your request for Vacation has been denied, please contact your manager."
}
but when I run this, I get this error message:
400 Bad Request:
{"error_parameters":{},"error_detail":null,"error_propagate":false,"request":{"url":"http://api.podio.com/task/item/436023600","query_string":"","method":"POST"},"error_description":"Invalid
JSON","error":"invalid_value"}
Now within the the request body or header does it need to have which app I am referring to not just the item ID. Not sure what it's looking for, if you could please assist with some guidance, that would be greatly appreciated.
I discovered that the issue was indeed the syntax within the JSON sent in the request body.
The quotes around the curly braces for responsible needed to be removed and I needed quotes with profile, and it should have gone like this:
{
"text": "Regarding Absence Request for Vacation",
"responsible": {"type":"profile", "id": 123 },
"description": "Your request for Vacation has been denied, please contact your manager."
}
In my routes:
POST /forms/FormValidator1/validateForm controllers.FormValidator1.validateForm(jsonForm:String)
There is a controller method defined for that route:
def validateForm(jsonForm:String) = Action { ...
Then I try to send POST request by chrome POSTMAN plugin (see pic above).
I use:
url: http://localhost:9000/forms/FormValidator1/validateForm
headers: Content Type: application/json
json data: {name: "me", surname: "my"}
So, sending this POST request I can not reach controller's method by mentioned route / url. Why?
UPDATE:
Interestly enough: after I got it working on my laptop (see my answer below) then push it on gitHub and pull it to another machine it starts working differently. Now it complains than Bad Request is [Invalid XML] nevertheless I use "application/json" header and did not change any line of code after commit. I wonder maybe it is a bug.
It seems I got it.

And here:

There is wrong and correct way explained:
Doesn't work: curl -d "name=sam" http://localhost:9000/test
Works: curl -d "" http://localhost:9000/test?name=sam
This is the way how POST params are passing..in play. (second link is explanation WHY):
Sometimes you have to make compromises. In Play 1 you could bind your
action parameters from any parameter extracted from the URL path,
query string or even the request body. It was highly productive but
you had no way to control the way the form was uploaded. I mean, if a
user uploads a big file you needed to load the entire request in
memory to be able to handle it.
In Play 2 you can control the request body submission. You can reject
it early if something is wrong with the user, you can process big
files or streams without filling your memory with more than one HTTP
chunk… You gain a high control of what happens and it can help you to
scale you service. But, the other side of the coin is that when a
request is routed, Play 2 only uses the request header to make its
decision: the request body is not available yet, hence the inability
to directly bind an action parameter from a parameter extracted from
the request body.
UPDATE:
Interestly enough: after I got it working on my laptop then push it on gitHub and pull it to another machine it starts working differently. Now it complains than Bad Request is [Invalid XML] nevertheless I use "application/json" header and did not change any line of code after commit.
UPDATE 2
So I fixed it like this:
On angular side (we even can comment dataType and headers):
var data = $scope.fields
$http({
url: '/forms/FormValidator1/validateForm',
method: "POST",
//dataType: "json",
data: data,
//headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
}).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
console.log("good")
}).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
console.log("something wrong")
});
On playFramework side: (use BodyParser)
def validateForm = Action { request =>
val body: AnyContent = request.body
val jsonBody: Option[JsValue] = body.asJson
// Expecting text body
jsonBody.map { jsValue =>
val name = (jsValue \ "name")
val surname = (jsValue \ "surname")
....
}
Routes (don't define parameters at all !):
POST /forms/FormValidator1/validateForm controllers.FormValidator1.validateForm
