API call via Postman/SoapUI - Form data not valid

[sukapyx]

Hello.

I have Mosparo set up. When querying the API via SoapUI/Postman the request-submit-token request works fine:

When making the check-form-data request I get error for the form data not being valid. Constructed it as in documentation https://documentation.mosparo.io/docs/api/frontend#structure-of-formdata

Have also tried passing the array in different ways but no use (get 500). Cant figure out what is invalid in the data.

[{"name": "name", "value": "Testing", "fieldPath": "input[text].name"},{"name": "emailAddress","value": "testing@testing.com","fieldPath": "input[email].emailAddress"},{"name": "message", "value": "testmessage", "fieldPath": "textarea.message"}]

Hi @sukapyx

Thank you very much for your question.

Can you enable the API debug mode in the project settings (https://documentation.mosparo.io/docs/api/api_debug_mode)? The API should then provide a more detailed explanation for the error in the response.

Please post the additional data so I can look into the problem.

Kind regards,

Hello!

Thank you for the reply!

API debug mode was enabled when doing this request. I unchecked, saved, rechecked and saved again, but still - no additional info.

At first I was thinking maybe Im posting the array data somehow wrong, but all the other options eg. FormData[], FormData[].name etc result in server error. I have tried different ways, also using Postman but the result is the same.

Hi @sukapyx

I'm very sorry. I didn't check the error message well enough when I answered your question. We do not have additional debug information in that place (where the error happens).

Can you share this string as it is with me?

I don't understand the issue right now. Your request looks correct, so there is no reason for this problem. When you send me the marked string above, I can test your string in my development environment and see what goes wrong.

Kind regards,

The string is: publicKey=GEmREErp0HTKPiwaGb4vDHvChRu6RcLT0fpvBRoWiOo&submitToken=pUaNK5wrwhP8hv5GFZF9lP-nrHyn2h6kpZOMaVgA0Rk&formData=%5B%7B%22name%22%3A%20%22name%22%2C%20%22value%22%3A%20%22Testing%22%2C%20%22fieldPath%22%3A%20%22input%5Btext%5D.name%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%20%22emailAddress%22%2C%22value%22%3A%20%22testing%40testing.com%22%2C%22fieldPath%22%3A%20%22input%5Bemail%5D.emailAddress%22%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%20%22message%22%2C%20%22value%22%3A%20%22testsonum%22%2C%20%22fieldPath%22%3A%20%22textarea.message%22%7D%5D

Hi @sukapyx

Thank you very much!

I've tested your string with SoapUI and had the same issue. The problem is the structure of the formData parameter.

Generally, it is an object with the two properties fields and ignoredFields. These properties are an array with the form data objects in it.

Your string contains only the value of the fields property but not the fields and ignoredFields properties. So, the correct string looks like this:

{"fields":[{"name": "name", "value": "Testing", "fieldPath": "input[text].name"},{"name": "emailAddress","value": "testing@testing.com","fieldPath": "input[email].emailAddress"},{"name": "message", "value": "testsonum", "fieldPath": "textarea.message"}],"ignoredFields":[]}

If you test this string, you should receive a successful response from the API.

Please let me know if that worked!

Kind regards,

Great, like that it works! Thank you.

Sorry for the trouble, I based and constructed my test request purely on Mosparo documentation https://documentation.mosparo.io/docs/api/frontend#arguments-1 and lacked the knowledge, nor was able to find that information anywhere.

Best regards!

Hi @sukapyx

Awesome! I'm happy that it's working now!

Absolutely no problem! Thank you for posting this question. You're right. It's missing in the documentation and I will update the documentation ASAP.

Thank you very much!

Kind regards,
