How do you pass an array to the api

Hey Blake,

Is this still the recommended way to send an array to the API? I’m trying to create a web hook and I’m not able to send the web_hook_event_type_ids array parameter.

I’ve tried it with CURL (as multipart/form-data)

curl -X POST "https://MYSITE.com/admin/api/web_hooks" \
  -H "Api-Key: KEY" \
  -H "Api-Username: USER" \
  -F "payload_url=https://MYOTHERSITE.com" \
  -F "content_type=1" \
  -F "wildcard_web_hook=false" \
  -F "verify_certificate=true" \
  -F "active=true" \
  -F "web_hook_event_type_ids[]=2"

# I get
{"errors":["param is missing or the value is empty: web_hook"]}%

And with httpie (as application/json):

http POST https://MYSITE.com/admin/api/web_hooks \
  Api-Key:KEY \
  Api-Username:USER \
  payload_url=https://MYOTHERSITE.com \
  content_type=1 \
  wildcard_web_hook:=false \
  verify_certificate:=true \
  active:=true \
  web_hook_event_type_ids:='[2]'

# I get
{
    "errors": [
        "Web hook event types can't be blank"
    ]
}
