ASP.NET Web API 2, I am able to get JSON result on local machine but when I upload same project on server it returns only XML result. Please suggest any solution for this.
I solved it by changing content-type to application/json

Just started working on an existing project making use of the Exact Online API.
While I was debugging the project I suddenly only started receiving XML results instead of JSON results from the API. I did not change anything about the endpoints being queried I was just running the existing queries trying to figure some things out.
These are the REST API docs: https://start.exactonline.nl/docs/HlpRestAPIResources.aspx
These are the XML docs: https://support.exactonline.com/community/s/knowledge-base#All-All-DNO-Content-xmlsamplecode
Typical REST API endpoints look like this:
https://start.exactonline.be/api/v1/xxxxxx/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices
Typical XML endpoints look like this:
https://start.exactonline.be/docs/XMLDownload.aspx
I also did not change any settings. I only have access to the tokens and api. I don't have access to the account.
This is an example of an endpoint and query where I previously received JSON but am now receiving XML:
https://start.exactonline.be/api/v1/xxxxxx/salesinvoice/SalesInvoices?$filter=InvoiceID eq guid'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx'&$select=InvoiceID
I tried this manually with Postman and also using the existing code from the project.
Is there some setting I am unaware of? Am i querying the wrong way? Maybe there have been some changes to the API I am unaware of that aren't listed in the release notes?
Please provide the request header Accept in your HTTP request that specifies what content format you prefer to receive: application/json. The default of Exact Online APIs is XML (but seldom to never used).
I used to use the XML endpoint because it provided review dates for each review called 'updated'. This is not contained in the JSON endpoint. However, the XML endpoint stopped working. I get the error seen below:
Web Server Error
Description: The host did not return the document correctly.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? Any workarounds? Do you anticipate this will ever be fixed by Apple? Do you think the JSON endpoint might be taken down any time soon?
XML Endpoint (Broken)

JSON Endpoint (Working)

It appears the XML endpoint is up and running again. No more Web Server Error. Hopefully the endpoint stays up.
I want to generate a rest api in odoo so that it can be used in other languages. I have used below api's
http://URL_with_PORT/{}/xmlrpc/2/common
http://URL_with_PORT/{}/xmlrpc/2/object
but when I validated it using postman it is giving me error.
You don't need the curly braces in the URL. Just send it to the xmlrpc/2/common endpoint, as per...
http://<server:?port>/xmlrpc/2/common
You need to set the verb to POST, and the body to raw with XML.
Then send in the following XML in the form as per the documentation.
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>version</methodName>
</methodCall>
This will return the server version info as per the examples used in the External API documentation in an XML response.
Postman isn't the best client to use XML-RPC calls, take a look at XML RPC GUI for developers in Windows?. You have to create a raw request and then send it. Using SoapUI would be much easier.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to specify mime-type returned from a RESTful web service through the URL? I am trying to demo a simple service that I created to someone and I am just using a web browser (Chrome) to invoke the service. I am trying things like this:
http://localhost:8088/providers?mimeType={application/json}
http://localhost:8088/providers?mimeType=application/json
http://localhost:8088/providers?mimeType=json
None of these work for me - I just keep getting XML returned no matter what I select.
I found several posts related to this subject, but nothing with an answer about how to do this through a URL (I found some which talked about setting headers, but I am using a browser and don't have the ability to specify headers). I found this post:
REST Content-Type: Should it be based on extension or Accept header?
And that post linked to this: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/08/11/rest.html
On the xml.com site, I found this text:
URI-Specified Representation [PS, AR]
A client can specify the representation using the following query string:
mimeType={mime-type}
A REST server should support this query.
So it seems that what I am trying to do should be possible, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
To define the headers added to your request, you can use a Chrome extension like Postman.
Then you will be able to specify an Accept header to tell Talend to return json:
Accept: Application/json
I am trying to pass the data from the database to the controller through a service (WCF Data Service), which is an independent application. While running the service for testing, the data is shown in XML format. I need to view the data in JSON format. Any solutions??
Thanks in Advance
For JSON support:
Download the JSONPSupportBehavior.cs from the Microsoft Code Gallery
Locate the JSONPSupportBehavior.cs file in the downloaded project and include it in your web project.
Add a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization.dll.
Mark your service with the JSONPSupportBehavior attribute.
[JSONPSupportBehavior]
public class WcfDataService : DataService<SampleDbEntities>
Please refer this link
A Beginner's Tutorial for Creating WCF Data Services
Hope this helps
WCF Data services supports JSON out of the box.
In order to receive a response in JSON format, you can include application/json in the accept header of the request. Or you can use $format=json in your request url.
