Cannot create a new prefix

[marcadella]

I get the following error while trying to create a new prefix:

{"timestamp":"2022-01-28T08:47:32.860+0000","status":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"JSON parse error: Cannot deserialize instance of `java.lang.String[]` out of VALUE_STRING token; nested exception is com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.exc.MismatchedInputException: Cannot deserialize instance of `java.lang.String[]` out of VALUE_STRING token\n at [Source: (PushbackInputStream); line: 1, column: 308] (through reference chain: org.identifiers.cloud.hq.ws.registry.api.requests.ServiceRequestRegisterPrefix[\"payload\"]->org.identifiers.cloud.hq.ws.registry.api.requests.ServiceRequestRegisterPrefixPayload[\"supportingReferences\"])","path":"/prefixRegistrationApi/registerPrefix"}

@marcadella while you're waiting for a response from identifiers.org team, you can make a request in the Bioregistry (https://bioregistry.io) issue tracker. Our project has a more open model and will be able to respond faster

Dear @marcadella, have you tried submitting your request via our website? or do you need to do it through an API? Best regards.

Hello @marcadella,

It seems the problem is that the endpoint expects the supporting references to be an array. The following should work.

{
  "apiVersion": "1.0",
  "payload": {
    "name": "SalDB",
    "description": "Salmon specific database of genome sequenced prokaryotes representing the microbiota of fishes found in the taxonomic family of Salmonidae.",
    "requestedPrefix": "mmp.saldb",
    "sampleId": "MMP859855",
    "idRegexPattern": "^MMP\\d+$",
    "supportingReferences": [],
    "additionalInformation": "",
    "institutionName": "UiT The Arctic University of Norway",
    "institutionDescription": "Center for Bioinformatics (SfB) at UiT The Arctic university of Norway.",
    "institutionHomeUrl": "https://uit.no/startsida",
    "institutionLocation": "NO",
    "providerName": "UiT The Arctic University of Norway",
    "providerDescription": "Center for Bioinformatics (SfB) at UiT The Arctic university of Norway.",
    "providerCode": "mmp",
    "providerHomeUrl": "https://uit.no/startsida",
    "providerUrlPattern": "https://mmp2.sfb.uit.no/SalDB/records/{$id}",
    "providerLocation": "NO",
    "requesterName": "Mayeul Marcadella",
    "requesterEmail": "mma227@uit.no",
    "requester": {
      "name": "Mayeul Marcadella",
      "email": "mma227@uit.no"
    },
    "institutionRorId": "https://ror.org/00wge5k78"
  }
}

See the payload definition.

Do you still wish to submit this request?
