Try to post using API (and failing)

[phenomlab]

Hi,

I'm trying to post using the API, and have this

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8" -H "Authorization: Bearer (token - redacted)" --data "title=This is an API test" --data "content=This is an API test" --data "cid=1" https://phenomlab.com/api/v2/topics

This in turn provides the below output

{"code":"params-missing","message":"Something was wrong with the request payload you passed in. | Required parameters were missing from this API call, please see the \"params\" property","params":{"0":"_uid"}}

What am I doing wrong here ?

Thanks

Scrap that - it arrived, but didn't show on the unread counter, which is not what I expected

Looks like you must provide the "_uid" parameter

@pitaj Thanks, but even this doesn't seem to work

curl --location --request POST 'https://phenomlab.com/api/v2/topics/'  --header 'Authorization: Bearer (token redacted)'  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data-raw '{
    "content": "This is a test post",
    "title": "This is a test post",
    "tags": ["testing"]
}'

Results in

<div class="alert alert-danger">
        <strong>[[global:500.title]]</strong>
        <p>[[global:500.message]]</p>
        <p>&#x2F;api&#x2F;v2&#x2F;topics</p>
        <p>Unexpected token t in JSON at position 0</p>


</div>

Hmm - this seems to work

--data-raw '{
>     "cid":"1",
>     "content": "This is a test post",
>     "title": "This is a test post",
>     "tags": ["testing"],
>     "_uid":"1"
> }'

Although I do not see the new topic anywhere ?

@phenomlab

Try this:

curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:4567/api/v3/topics' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer TOKEN' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "cid": 1,
    "title": "Test topic",
    "content": "This is the test topic content",
    "tags": [
        "test",
        "topic"
    ],
    "_uid": 1
}'

@antosik I got it working yesterday, but thanks for this - very useful for someone else looking for the same
