Hi @asommer70 - could you please give an example of what you are trying to send that does not work?
Thank you
Sure, it's something like:
["customerId": "2033412", "email": "bob@example.com"]
I'm getting data from another API parsing the fields I need then sending that to a separate API using a Post Agent, but sending a JSON array doesn't work.
I am sorry in advance if I am missing anything obvious, but a JSON array is an ordered collection of values, separated by ','. For example, ["2033412", "bob@example.com"]
.
For key-value pairs, a JSON object would be needed, using braces '{', '}'. For example, {"customerId": "2033412", "email": "bob@example.com"}
.
You're totally right this is more of what I meant:
[{"customerId": "2033412", "email": "bob@example.com"}, {"customerId": "2322", "email": "me@example.com"}]
An array of key-value pairs.
@asommer70 I see, thank you.
Could you please share the error message that you get? (With any sensitive/personal/business information redacted please.)
This is what I get from the service I'm posting the non-array to:
[ { "itemId": "100118", "zoneId": "Primary Zone", "retail1": "125", "body": "{\"code\":3,\"message\":\"The requested service is not valid.\"}", "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json;charset=ISO-8859-1", "Content-Length": "58", "Date": "Fri, 18 Nov 2022 16:37:50 GMT" }, "status": 404 } ]
It has a generic error "The requested service is not valid." for anything it doesn't like. In this case it's due to a JSON object being sent to the server instead of an array.
Thank you for providing this example. This won't work as it is right now, because the Post agent doesn't support sending top-level JSON arrays. It could be done, but it is not in our plans at the moment. I will leave this issue open for future reference and perhaps @vidas has to add or ask something.
Hey all,
I was wondering how I can send a JSON array using a Post Agent? I can send a JSON object just fine, but an API I'm working with only accepts an array.
Thanks!
