Errors when POST to occurrence/download/request

[dshorthouse]

Sending a POST with this document: https://github.com/bionomia/bionomia/blob/master/bionomia_gbif_request.json to https://api.gbif.org/v1/occurrence/download/request

Produces errors such as:

#/predicate: expected: null, found: JSONObject
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [predicates] not found
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: extraneous key [predicate] is not permitted
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1/type: not is not a valid enum value
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [predicates] not found
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: extraneous key [predicate] is not permitted
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1/type: not is not a valid enum value
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [key] not found
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [value] not found
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: extraneous key [predicate] is not permitted
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1/type: not is not a valid enum value
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [key] not found
#/predicate/predicates/2/predicates/1: required key [value] not found
etc.

...and the download is not produced. Has the expected structure of the request JSON document changed in the last two weeks?

Possibly relates to: https://github.com/gbif/portal-feedback/issues/4525

Could be related, but I think this one's a different root cause. I had hope to execute a refresh for Bionomia, but will have to wait until I get some feedback if the JSON doc I'm posting no longer works in the way it's constructed.

Hi David,

That is the same error, although on matchCase rather than sendNotification. If you remove the quotes around the true values the request should work.

"matchCase": true

(Otherwise, we should fix the API to accept both ways tomorrow.)

Aha! Of course! Thanks for taking a look.
