Getting an error while sending a json payload in quartz scheduler - json

Question

I'm trying to send a json payload in quartz scheduler. I have the header set to Content-type:application/json, but for some reason my json string is throwing an error: Uncaught error, unexpected token in json.
The original json that I'm sending to a graphql service looks like this:
{
GetAllAuthors{
id
name
}
}
But to make it work in quartz, I need to mimic a rest API call, which is why I tried using the following:
{ "query":{{""{\nGetAllAuthors {\nid\nname\n}\n\n}""}} }
The above is also giving me the "Uncaught error, unexpected token in json" error. Is there something that I'm missing or overlooking?
PS: I tried using an online json formatter and when I try to validate the above json, I get the following error:
Error: Parse error on line 2:
{ "query": { { "" {\ nGetA
--------------^
Expecting 'STRING', '}', got '{'

Answer 1

That's not valid Json. This is how it might look if it were:
{
"GetAllAuthors": [
"id",
"name"
]
}
but I suspect you're trying for something like this:
{
"GetAllAuthors": {
"id": 123,
"name": "James Brown"
}
}

Edit: I've not worked with GraphQL, but this page shows how a (non JSON) GraphQL query might be transferred over Http by POSTing JSON or GETting using querystrings: https://graphql.org/learn/serving-over-http/

Answer 2

I figured this out by testing through Mozilla's network tab - the correct format is:
{"query":"{\n GetAllAuthors{\n id\n name\n}\n}\n","variables":null, "operationName":null}
