Rest api example /api/cms/records/ POST

[sebastianr]

Since the REST API does not accept a json body, what does the URL have to look like to transfer "fields"? Can someone please give an example?

Something like:

https://www.domain.com/api/cms/records/4?key=mykey&category=7&author=1&fields="field_8":"content here..."

Isn't working...

Anyone have an idea? The support does not want to help here, it would be above the standard... 🥴

i mean.. in c# using RestSharp it's something along the lines of => 

 

var Client = new RestClient("WebsiteUrl");
var Request = new RestRequest("/api/cms/records/{dID}/{rID}" + "/?key=Api Key With perms", DataFormat.Json);
Request.AddUrlSegment("dID", 6);
Request.AddUrlSegment("rID", 1);
Request.AddParameter("fields[24]", "This changes record title");
var Response = Client.Post(Request);

if (Response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
{
    // Convert Response.Content and/or Response.Data to class object            
}
else Console.WriteLine(Response.StatusCode);

Tested for sure ;)

Here's some example code which should work

Perfect. I didn't know

Request.AddParameter("fields[24]", "This changes record title");

is how an array is passed via RESTSharp.

Thank you!

Yeah! It's definitely a lil weird cause it returns field_##, took me a couple weeks to get used to making RestRequests here 😛

CustomFields on a purchase/member request are similar as well : 

Request.AddParameter("customField[#]", "StringValue"); 😉

Yeah, same thing. Took me also weeks until to ask for support here. If the REST API would accept a json body, it would be easier.
