I am trying to create a new topic via Node.js API by sending the following payload : { title: 'topic:329201', raw: 'topic-description:32920111948', created_at: '2019-05-08', api_key: '2371b6549b0c3aeb1f12e49c22db5f25fb1f8ca740619e5304f12f4d29896097', api_username: 'cb1' } I am hitting…

You should probably revoke that API key since you just posted it :wink: This is usually because incorrect content-type encoding was specified in the request.

Don’t worry dude. I am smart enough to randomly change some characters in it. And can you specify what i should send in ‘content-type’, as I’ve tried a lot of things.

Its neither working with Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded nor with ‘content-type’:‘application/json’.

You will tend to get “BAD CSRF” if your api key has not been supplied correctly. The best way to send it is via HTTP headers. There are more details at the top of our api documentation .

You might need to have correct capitalization for your header keys. So ‘content-type’ needs to be changed to ‘Content-Type’. Same for ‘Content-Length’, but you probably don’t even need to specify that one.

Fwiw: HTTP header names are (should be) case insensitive per RFC2616 4.2.

Problem solved. Thanks to @david . I was sending api_key in the payload but needed to send it via HTTP headers. I owe you a Beer. :laughing:

Ohh good, glad you got it working! Yes, sending them in the HTTP headers is the correct way to do it now, but they should still work in the body of the POST. Because I’m trying to improve our error messaging when using the API is there anything you changed as well? Also would you be willing to share…

Vishal, would you mind sharing the Node code you’re using to make this request? I’m stuck with a 404 error, no matter what I try.

@souljacker Sorry for the late reply. Were you able to get it working?

Blake, as-tu quelqu’un dans ton équipe d’ingénierie qui pourrait aussi m’indiquer comment faire la même requête avec Node.js ? On peut en parler en MP si tu ne veux pas poster cela dans ce fil Python. Merci beaucoup !
