I'm trying to make a HTTP form POST request to http://example.co.uk.
I used curl http://example.co.uk -d #example.json. However it gives me error saying it should only contain single field called application.
example.json file:
{"application":[
{
"name":"John",
"email":"john#example.com",
"github":"https://github.com/john",
"twitter":"https://twitter.com/john",
}
]
}
What's the correct way to do it? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
You'll need to indicate to the server that the content type is JSON instead of the standard form-encoded data, so use:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://example.co.uk -d #example.json
Also, your JSON file should be valid JSON i.e. without any ending/redundant , characters, so:
{"application":[
{
"name":"John",
"email":"john#example.com",
"github":"https://github.com/john",
"twitter":"https://twitter.com/john"
}
]
}

This is my testing server: https://my-json-server.typicode.com/EmreYavuzalp/jsonTestEtmeAraci
I can get the contents of the employees from here. With this:
curl -XGET 'https://my-json-server.typicode.com/EmreYavuzalp/jsonTestEtmeAraci/employees'
But cannot do the PUT at all. Neither POST. I tried it both ways. It just shows {} (empty brackets), not even an error code. What would that mean? I use this code to put:
curl -X PUT https://my-json-server.typicode.com/EmreYavuzalp/jsonTestEtmeAraci/employees/ \
-d '{"employees":[
{ "firstName":"Emre", "lastName":"Emre" }
]}'
I tried to remove "employees" and send it that way:
curl -X PUT https://my-json-server.typicode.com/EmreYavuzalp/jsonTestEtmeAraci \
-d '{
"firstName": "Emre",
"lastName": "Emre"
}'
And if I do POST, it says
TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined
Still doesn't work. What could be wrong here? It doesn't return any error code.
I want to build a request in insomnia to upload person, documents and it's files
How can I put a multipart file inside a JSON object? I don't want to deal with string base64 because it's too big and too slow to travel over the network.
I have a rest api made with spring boot and kotlin that will receive this JSON file.
Here's some code for what I want to achieve:
curl --request POST \
--url http://localhost:8080/ \
--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=--
-011000010111000001101001' \
--form 'person={
"first_name": "Foo",
"last_name": "Fighters"
}' \
--form 'document=[
{
"document_name": "test1",
"document_description":"test1",
"document_file": "multipart file1"
},
{
"document_name": "test2",
"document_description":"test2",
"document_file": "multipart file2"
},
{
"document_name": "testN",
"document_description":"testN",
"document_file": "multipart fileN"
}
]'
Where the key document_file value stands for the file itself, not a String.
Some pictures to make it clear:
Here is the overview of the multipart
Person detail:
Document detail:
I need to know what files are from what documents, and I can have 0 or many documents related to the person.
Therefore, that's why adding 1 file for each document I want to create won't work. It needs to be inside the object(just like presented in the images) that way I know that file-X is from document-X and vice-versa.
Thanks in advance!
I am trying to post a json string using curl in scala. My curl command works fine if executed from linux box but throes an error(("message": "Must provide query string.",) always from scala.
my working curl command in linux:
curl http://laptpad1811:5000/graphql -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-X POST -d '{"query":"mutation
CreateFileReceivedEvent($createFileReceivedEventInput:
CreateFleReceivedEventInput!) { createFileReceivedEvent(input:
$createFileReceivedEventInput) { clientMutationId }}","variables":
{"createFileReceivedEventInput":
{"clientMutationId":"Test","fileReceivedEvent":{"file":
{"fileTrackingId":"83a86c44-66a5-4de0-9b7f-
c6995877279d","name":"textfile_2017-08-21T15:58:45Z","fileType":
{"code":"textfile"}},"eventTimestamp":"2017-08-
21T15:59:30Z"}}},"operationName":"CreateFileReceivedEvent"}'
My scala code:
step1: copying the entire json string(pay load) to txt file
'{"query":"mutation CreateFileReceivedEvent($createFileReceivedEventInput:
CreateFleReceivedEventInput!) { createFileReceivedEvent(input:
$createFileReceivedEventInput) { clientMutationId }}","variables":
{"createFileReceivedEventInput":
{"clientMutationId":"Test","fileReceivedEvent":{"file":
{"fileTrackingId":"83a86c44-66a5-4de0-9b7f-
c6995877279d","name":"textfile_2017-08-21T15:58:45Z","fileType":
{"code":"textfile"}},"eventTimestamp":"2017-08-
21T15:59:30Z"}}},"operationName":"CreateFileReceivedEvent"}'
step2:
val data=fromFile("/usr/test/data.txt").getLines.mkString
step3:
val cmd = Seq("curl", "http://laptpad1811:5000/graphql", "-H",
"'Content-Type:application/json'" ,"-X", "POST", "-d" , data)
step4:
cmd.!!
I get the below error
String =
"{
"errors": [
{
"message": "Must provide query string.",
"stack": "BadRequestError: Must provide query string.\n
I have tried to change " to ' and mutiple combinations of the json string but I always get the same error.
I suspect that your issue is that sys.process doesn't pass commands through the shell (e.g. bash), so quotes that are necessary in the shell become unnecessary in Scala (and get passed through to the command which in the case of Unix-style utilities will probably result in unexpected behavior).
So try:
val cmd = Seq("curl", "http://laptpad1811:5000/graphql", "-H", "Content-Type: application/json", "-X", "POST", "-d", data)
Likewise remove the single quote wrapping from your text file.
I would however, counsel against spawning a curl in Scala and advise using one of the existing http client libraries (I personally like Gigahorse).
The online shopify docs for fulfillment show this example:
POST /admin/orders/#{id}/fulfillments.json
{
"fulfillment": {
"tracking_number": null,
"line_items": [
{
"id": 466157049
}
]
}
}
The docs also say that not specifying an item id will cause all items to fulfill.
My postdata to that api endpoint reads:
{"fulfillment":{"tracking_number":null}}
This comes back:
{"errors":{"fulfillment":"can't be blank"}}
I have tried this:
{"fulfillment":{"tracking_number":null,"line_items":[{"id":300668234}]}}
which is a valid item id for my order. The same message comes back.
Ideas?
Are you setting your Content-Type to application/json?
Trying sending the same request using cURL
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d #fulfillment.json https://API_KEY:API_TOKEN#SHOP.myshopify.com/admin/orders/ORDER_ID/fulfillments.json
If that works, it means you aren't sending your request correctly.
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"fulfillment": {"tracking_number": "123456789","notify_customer": true}}' https://API_KEY:TOKEN#SHOP.myshopify.com/admin/orders/ORDER_ID/fulfillments.json
This is the working example of updating tracking number for an order. It took me a minute to realize that the ORDER_ID is the long form shopify order id. It should be about 9 to 10 digits.
I have a very simple 'hello world' Mochiweb server (I just started my introduction into it), which takes a JSON request and sends it back:
'POST' ->
case Path of
"dummy" ->
Data = Req:parse_post(),
Json = proplists:get_value("json", Data),
Struct = mochijson2:decode(Json),
Action_value = struct:get_value(<<"action">>, Struct),
Action = list_to_atom(binary_to_list(A)),
Result = [got_json_request, Action],
DataOut = mochijson2:encode(Result),
Req:ok({"application/json",[],[Result]});
The thing is that when I try to make a request to it with cURL it fails:
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X POST -d '{"action":"dummy"}' http://localhost:8080/dummy
The Mochiweb log is quite difficult to read, but as I understand the error happens at this line:
Json = proplists:get_value("json", Data)
I have put a couple of io:formats in the code and found out that both Data and Json variables are [] after I make a request with cURL.
On the other hand, when I do a very simple request with cURL:
curl -d '{"action":"dummy"}' http://localhost:8080/dummy
both Data and Json are [{"{\"action\":\"dummy\"}",[]}], but in that case the line Struct = mochijson2:decode(Json) fails.
For some strange reason Mochiweb does not see the JSON data in the POST request in case the header has the "application/json" value.
So, the question is: How do I make a correct POST request with JSON data to a Mochiweb server?
EDIT: Json variable has the undefined value.
Try something along the lines of
Data = Req:recv_body(),
Json = mochijson2:decode(Data),
...
You should at least ensure method post and the content type ahead of this.
This is not about POST nor get.
It's about how you post your data to send to your server
When you send a json data to server, you need to make it as key=value
curl -d "key=value" "http://your.domain.com/path"
Therefore, if you want to post json as '{"action":"dummy"}', for GET request
curl -d "json='{\"action\":\"dummy\"}'" http://localhost:8080/dummy
For POST request as a file,
curl -F "json=#filename.json" http://localhost:8080/dummy
of course, when you send as a file, you need to read the posted file from the server side.
