PUT Method on Blog Posts API Example

Fernando Petroli By 
November 21, 2013

Hi, i am reading the "Create Endpoint" article in the API documentation guide. I can't make   the Post request work.
Could you provide a php code where i can see how to create the body for the request?

I'm using this code:

$fetch = $client->fetch($baseApiUrl . '/api/v1/sites/johndoe/pages/blogs/1/posts/', $parameters = array($json_body), 'POST', array(
"Content-Type" => "application/json",
"x-li-format" => "json"
));

I get this message: "invalid_json".

 

Thanks in advance!!

    Fernando, can you use a CURL command and send us the request and body with the error message you get back? This debugging method is detailed here: https://github.com/3dna/people_view/blob/master/doc/api-debugging-cheatsheet.md

    You can send us the report as a text file attachment to [email protected]

    Adriel thanks for your response!

    That library is the one I’m using right now.
    It’s work perfect for the GET method but when i try to Create a new Post on the blog it fail.

    My code:

    $body = ‘{
    “blog_post”: {
    “name”: “You will never guess”,
    “slug”: “puzzle”,
    “status”: “published”,
    “content_before_flip”: “<p>You will never guess what is after the flip</p>”,
    “content_after_flip”: “<p>The answer is words. Words were after the flip.</p>”,
    “tags”: [“funny”, “true”],
    “published_at”: “2013-04-25T10:47:06-07:00”
    }
    }’;

    $client-&gt;fetch($baseApiUrl . ‘/api/v1/sites/johndoe/pages/blogs/1/posts’, array($token), array($body), ‘POST’, array(
    “Content-Type” =&gt; “application/json”,
    “x-li-format” =&gt; “json”
    ));

    I created this code reading the class library.
    Now the message is: 500 Error Server

    Anyone with same problem?
