Thanks for the feedback on proper headers! I looked again at the
PipeDrive API
[https://developers.pipedrive.com/docs/api/v1/#!/Persons/put_persons_id] in
more detail and noticed that the Phone I was trying to change was
actually looking for an array rather than a number or string so I
thought I would try making a smaller change first. Name is a string so
it should be easier to get a proof of concept with (or so I thought).
This is the sample test I'm doing in LiveCode (9dp11):
Put random(999) into tID
Put
"https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons/3?api_token=ce95ed7f11e167194b0b4a6f6f1032df4fa13792"; into
tRequestURL
Put "Content-Type: application/json" &lf& "Accept:
application/json" into tHeaders
Put "Homer Simpson" into tArray["name"]
Put ArrayToJSON(tArray) into tJSONtoUpload
put tsNetPost(tID, tRequestURL, tHeaders, tJSONtoUpload,
"updateWasCompleted") into tResult
But I end up getting this returned:
{"status":false,"error":"Unknown method ."}
So I tried sending the command as FORM data:
put "Homer Simpson" into tName
put "Accept: application/json" into tHeaders
set the httpHeaders to tHeaders
put
"https://api.pipedrive.com/v1/persons/3?api_token=ce95ed7f11e167194b0b4a6f6f1032df4fa13792"; into
tRequestURL
get libURLFormData("name", tName)
put it into url tRequestURL
But I didn't get a response from the server via "it" or "the result"
so I had to manually verify the data. What I discovered was that the
Name was successfully updated! So my issue seems to be my header
announcing to the server what format I am sending data in. A response
from the server would be nice, but I can always do some error checking
to verify myself. I didn't see a tsNet command for PUT, but I could be
mistaken.
The API doc says an "update" must be done as PUT but a "create new" be
done as POST. After lots of trial & error it seems that I am able to
POST JSON, but can't PUT JSON. And I'm able to PUT FORM data, but
can't POST FORM data. Still not sure why one format doesn't work both
places, but happy that I cracked this and will be able to upsell a
client on an integration to my existing product with them!
