By Hello and apologies for the noob question. Using jQuery for API calls and I just can't seem to make a request that contains acceptable JSON data for the api. Using something like this:
var rq = $.ajax({method: "POST",
url: "https://[...].nationbuilder.com/api/v1/people?access_token=[...]",
accepts: "application/json",
contentType: "application/json",
data: JSON.stringify(
{ person: {
email: "[email protected]",
last_name: "Smith",
first_name: "Bob",
sex: "M",
signup_type: 0,
employer: "Dexter Labs",
party: "P"
} }
)
})
Return message is always "I can only talk JSON..."
Hi Jedd,
I would suggest using an online tool such as the JSON Formatter/Validator, which gave some helpful prompts to adjust the request above to the following raw JSON:
{
"person":{
"email":"[email protected]",
"last_name":"Smith",
"first_name":"Bob",
"sex":"M",
"signup_type":0,
"employer":"Dexter Labs",
"party":"P"
}
}
It may also be helpful to consult the docs for the JSON.stringify method you're using for how that is transforming the data you're sending it.
Hope this helps, and happy coding!
